Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi all, Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no? end of line Tracer Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash -- ---KMail 1.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

by cagsm 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

Good day, I am trying to find out of shorewall is supposed to work with 13.2 properly, as I read about systemd stuff being in the midst of creation and wicked and sort of that things that make it problematic to run something different from susefirewall2. Thanks for helping. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] I can not filter out some systemd messages in syslog
by Carlos E. R. 17 May '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have this in "/etc/rsyslog.conf": if ($programname == 'named' or $syslogtag == '[named]:') \ then -/var/log/named & stop ... if ($msg contains 'Started Session' and $msg contains 'of user') \ then -/var/log/systemdpurged & stop # # the rest in one file # *.*;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/messages I get the expected entries in "/var/log/systemdpurged": <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:30:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Started Session 93 of user cer. <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:33:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Started Session 94 of user news. But I'm also getting them in "/var/log/messages": <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:30:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Starting Session 93 of user cer. <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:33:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Starting Session 94 of user news. And they should not be there. So the "stop" line for those systemd entries is not acting. However, it works for other sections, like the "named" section shown above, and others I do not show for clarity. Are systemd entries special? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Namebench
by Steven Hess 25 Dec '15

25 Dec '15

There was a previews thread where namebench was mentioned. I thought it was the optimizing resolv.conf thread. Anyway this is a different issue. Id like to run it. The ones I located in OBS were not functional here. What could I do to try another source? Thanks Steven -- ____________ Apply appropriate technology. Use what works without prejudice.

[opensuse] Brother w/ Epson printer language support?; &?OT/admin
by Felix Miata 21 Jun '15

21 Jun '15

Mailing lists have been so low in volume I've wondered if it's the USA holiday, broken internet, a fluke, or something else. I'm a subscriber to over 70 mailing lists. Mondays are usually the busiest day of the week, typically well over 500 inbound. This one was no more than half normal for a Monday, across the board. My 68 month old Canon is now curbside in pieces in two garbage cans waiting for trash pickup, dead after not having used up one complete toner cartridge. I only bought it because right on the box it had "Linux" in its supported OS list. Little idea did I have what that really meant - never again Canon. Anyone own a laser Brother MF of any type, and know if it, or any Brothers, support the Epson 9-pin (FX, IIRC) printer language, as Brothers of yore (all?/mostly?) did. Something no HP ever did AFAIK, and AFAIK no Canon ever did, was support the printer language I learned when Lotus 1-2-3 was at v1.0. I still have spreadsheets with embedded printer codes. I would *like* to be able to print some of them on occasion without having to dig an Epson-supported parallel port dot matrix printer out of the cobwebs, rejuvenate its ribbon, boot DOS, and wait 10 minutes per page in order to get pseudo-satisfactory printer output of the plain text, plus Epson printer control codes (font selection, margin, page length, etc.), that they contain. Converting the spreadsheet themselves is not a practical option, because they are Quattro Pro for DOS native format, which AFAIk nothing imports, while exporting from QPD is limited to WK1 format, which loses far too much via the export process. What I have been doing is printing to a text file, loading it in web browser, and scaling until the overall width approximates sane, which typically wastes 5-15 sheets of paper figuring out each time, and rarely gets the margins or line spacing close to optimal.

[opensuse] Lenovo T550 (Intel HD5500) experience?
by Andrei Borzenkov 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

I'm considering renewing my notebook and look for Lenovo T550 with Intel HD5500 and Full HD 19200x1080 display. I do not know what wireless is inside (this information is mostly unavailable on web sites). I have Lenovo product number but it is not present in product lists I can see on Lenovo site (not much surprised); in case someone knows it, it is 20CK001WRT. Anyone has practical experience? Question is mostly about video, wireless and touchpad/track point compatibility . Support for internal card reader is of course a bonus. Thank you! -andrei -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Thunderbird quirk - something new or something I never noticed in the past?
by Basil Chupin 06 Jun '15

06 Jun '15

Using TB 31.6.0. When one responds to an e-mail message and sends it without at any time saving it to the DRAFT folder then, on the main page of TB, a little arrow appears at the beginning of the Subject header of the message being replied to; this indicates that one has replied to that message. However, if one first saves the response which one is writing to the DRAFT folder and then completes the message at a later time and sends it then no 'little arrow' appears at the beginning of the Subject header. This lack of the "little arrow" a new development or something which has "always been' and I have never noticed it?

[opensuse] raid use case
by jdd 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hello, I never used RAID, or nearly (I used hardware raid on a big server, but it was completely software transparent). I just made an exact copy of the 1Tb of my main computer. In this disk I have a ~500 Gb partition for my day to day data. is is possible to make the two partitions (one per disk) member of a raid 1 (mirror) system without fuss? I mean that I want to be able to access any partition alone if one of the drive fails (without changing the failing disk) and to revert to standard system if necessary. (I can also make an hourly rsync crom job if raid is overkill) thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] printer recommendation
by buhorojo 04 Jun '15

13.2 Hi We currently have a HP printer which only works when the computer it is connected to is on. Is there a wifi printer we could use instead for laptops and phones? Whilst I can find information about the 'phone, no one has any information as to whether it will work from an opensuse laptop. Any recommendations based on experience using this setup?
