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

[opensuse] Does 13.2+ work with shorewall properly yet? Read about wicked/systemd woes
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

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] BTFS issues
by Moby 09 Jul '15

09 Jul '15

Stick OSS 13.2 machine running kernel 3.16.7-21-default. Machine has four SATA drives of 500 GB each. All drives are partitioned identically with 3 partitions each. First partition is 1G of type BIOS Boot. Second partition is 2 G of type linux raid. Third partition is of 463G of type linux raid. Second partitions of all drives are setup as a RAID5 md device md0 and used as swap. Third partitions of all drives are setup as a RAID5 md device md1 and mount as / (the root filesystem). Machine has been running fine for some time, doing much of nothing other than daily zypper updates etc. A few days ago, I copied massive amounts of data to /data/save1 (unsure of total amount, copied close to 1.1 TB, then deleted about 500 MB, then copied about 600 or so MG again). The copies were done with rsync and completed with no errors whatsoever. Once the copies completed, I decided to a btrfs balance (btrfs balance start /)- and that is where the fun began. btrfs kept failing with messages like below in the log (below is a grep 'btrfs' from journalctl -b so the messages are not necessarily contiguous): [44950.935025] BTRFS info (device md1): relocating block group 3706217037824 flags 1 [44954.665729] BTRFS info (device md1): relocating block group 3705143296000 flags 1 [44966.689827] BTRFS info (device md1): found 156 extents [44985.223754] BTRFS: bdev /dev/md1 errs: wr 9911, rd 0, flush 0, corrupt 0, gen 0 [44985.224033] BTRFS: bdev /dev/md1 errs: wr 9912, rd 0, flush 0, corrupt 0, gen 0 [44985.224285] BTRFS: bdev /dev/md1 errs: wr 9913, rd 0, flush 0, corrupt 0, gen 0 Running a btrfs scrub / showed no errors or issues at all. Then I started doing btrfs balance start -dusage=X and noticed that it would succeed up to X = 73 and fail after that. Then I started deleting subsets of data. I did btrfs balance start -dusage=X after each delete and noticed that as more and more data was deleted, X kept increasing before the balance would error out. Now, 4th day of the saga (slow system!) I have btrfs balance running successfully with -dusage=95 but still failing with error similar to above with -dusage=100. Do I need to keep on deleting data and doing the balance until balance succeeds with -dusage=100 ? Above, while more or less a test (the data exists in the source still so I am not too worried about losing from this btrfs file system), has scared me a bit about using btrfs for truly production data. Does anyone know what the btrfs errors in the log mean? I am assuming it has something to do with the requirement of doing a btrfs balance every so often. I know that btrfs has issues when at high usage capacity, and one has to balance etc. However, this is the first time I am seeing it, and knowing it happened without the data copy failing with a disk full error or anything of that nature has left me with the impression that btrfs is not suitable for production use. I would much rather have had my data copy fail with some disk full type error or what have you than run into this apparent time bomb. Other than the balance errors, everything else is fine on the filesystem, I can create files, delete files, system reboots fine (even though this is /). Thanks and I eagerly await comments from others who have seen this. -- --Moby They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] importing CA's into firefox
by Hans Witvliet 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Hi all, I know you can add manually additional trusted (sub-)CA's into firefox, by clicking through the GUI's, but... Is this also possible non-interactively, ie, by means of a shell script? I presume they end-up somewhere in: ll .mozilla/firefox/default/*.db ~/.mozilla/firefox/default/cert8.db ~/.mozilla/firefox/default/key3.db ~/.mozilla/firefox/default/secmod.db As if i backup/restore cert8.db manually added CA's disappear. On the other hand, those files appear to be just hashes. and I see PEM files under: /etc/ssl/certs/ but also under: /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/ So what is the magic required to do this automatically? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] bash completion and sudo
by Michael Fischer 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Hi. With 12.3, bash completion generally work(s/ed) for me. However, in 13.2, it does not, unless I modify /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion at line 1741 to include `sudo` specifically, AND source it again for each xterm window I open... The file has, at least in theory, been sourced from the chain /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion However, I still have to explicitly source it again in the newly-opened xterm to get `sudo` commands to tab-complete (e.g. `sudo ls <TAB>..`) 12.3 seems to have had the pattern: /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/profile.d/complete.bash Re-jiggering /etc/bash.bashrc to prefer /etc/profile.d/complete.bash over /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh on 13.2 doesn't seem to help. The only difference I see between the 12.3 and 13.2 versions of complete.bash is the inclusion of the block starting with if ! type -t _completion_loader &> /dev/null ; then _completion_loader () Any explanations? Suggestions on getting back sudo <CMD> <TAB>... completion?

[opensuse] Microsoft Excel 2010 in Wine
by Paul Groves 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

I would like to be able to use excel in wine and I have almost got it working. Sor far I have followed these steps: step 1 deleted ~/.wine step 2 run command (to make my wine prefix 32-bit not 64) WINEARCH=win32 winecfg step 3 follow instructions here https://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/06/how-to-install-microsoft-office-suite-… step 4 excel installed (32-bit version) with no errors so did the dotnet20 and msxml and corefonts pacakages. When excel is opened I get the error: Not enough memory to run Microsoft Excel. lease close other applications and try again This install works fine on windows so it is not my disc I have tried on my laptop which has 4GB RAM (3.2GB fre when I tried to open excel) and my desktop which has 32GB RAM of which most is free. Does anyone have any clue how to get this working? Perhaps there is a setting telling wine how much memory it has available?

[opensuse] Descent 3 on OpenSUSE 13.2 x64?
by Philip Vossler 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Yesterday I found the descent 3 (linux version) install disk languishing among my music collection and i have managed to install and patch the game to v1.4b. When I attempt to execute /usr/local/bin/descent3 I receive the error "Descent 3 Message(Error: Illegal font file: lohud.fnt. ) System Error" I have searched the web for solutions but the only suggested resolution is a reinstall and that was for the Microsoft Windows version - never the less I did try reinstalling and tried running the game with no patches applied but received the same error message Has anyone on this list run the game on OpenSUSE 13.2 (or a recent linux distro), and has anyone ever come across a font file with the name "lohud.fnt"? I thought it might be fun to play the game over the weekend but it looks as though I could spend the time trying to fix this issue rather than playing the game...I'd appreciate any advice as I'm stumped for a solution. regards Phil Vossler "......sooner or later that day comes and you can't hide from the things that you've done anymore."
