Feature added by: Mikhail Kasimov (k_mikhail) Feature #323815, revision 1 Title: Actualizing repos before new (open-)SUSE release, not after openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Mikhail Kasimov (k_mikhail) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hello! Here is a little problem with some repos, which are not actualized up-to new (open-)SUSE version release. For example: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1050681 This makes updating process (e.g. 42.2-> 42.3) less smooth. To be idealistic, such actualizing process should be started, when new (open-)SUSE version gets RC1 status. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This will make updating process (e.g. 42.2-> 42.3) more smooth. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/323815

[New: openFATE 323795] dracut / mkinitrd should backup old initrd

Feature added by: Mischa Salle (msalle) Feature #323795, revision 1 Title: dracut / mkinitrd should backup old initrd openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Mischa Salle (msalle) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When e.g. systemd gets updated, dracut / mkinitrd updates all the existing initrds in /boot, i.e. for all the installed kernel versions. In case of problems such as the recent https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1048679, this can easily lead to being locked out. It would be very helpful if the process would backup at least the previously used initrd, which was used to successfully boot the system, to ease rolling back. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Having a backup of a working initrd eases recovering and rolling back in case an update has broken boot. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/323795

[New: openFATE 323794] Yast One Click Install and Flatpak/Windows integration

Feature added by: Sławomir Lach (Lachu) Feature #323794, revision 1 Title: Yast One Click Install and Flatpak/Windows integration openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Sławomir Lach (lachu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Yast One Click Install is great mechanism to install software/multimedia codecs/etc. In my opinion, to force companies to more often use it is allowing to install flatpak package, which OCI points to (flatpak ref) and to put address to installer of Windows version of provided software. Use Case: Martina is Windows user. She kept Windows installer on some partition to not search the software on internet every time She's broke system. Thanks to Windows and OCI installer, She can kept only OCI files. Paul is user of some not very popular GNU/Linux distribution. He can install software from Flatpak. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: - Making OCI mechanism more popular due to supporting many new platforms - Use new Flatpak features, like installing software by user, sandboxing and keeping many different version of the same software. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/323794

[New: openFATE 322277] LiveDVD/LiveUSB add choise-installable packages.

Feature added by: Sławomir Lach (Lachu) Feature #322277, revision 1 Title: LiveDVD/LiveUSB add choise-installable packages. Requested by: Sławomir Lach (lachu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently not entire space on LiveDVD are used. I will be happy if there's directory omitted, when copying by default. In this directory will exists additional language packages, which could been installed onto ram or onto hard disk(in case of install onto hard drive, it will install process). Use Case: Currently user must install additional packages, after installing system. In my opinion, due to free space on medium, OpenSuSE could have additional packages, so user can boot onto LiveCD and on boot process, system will unpack language packages onto ramdisk and will select to install it in installation process. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It will be killer feature. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/322277

Feature added by: Vincent Untz <vuntz(a)novell.com> Feature #305640, revision 1, last change by Title: Replace gnomesu by something more modern openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: gnomesu is kind of obsolete and unmaintained. In the world of PolicyKit, we could use the new PolicyKit-aware gksu, or the adminkit stuff done by Rodrigo. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305640

[New: openFATE 323691] Improve performance with Intel CPUs and intel_pstate driver
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 11 Jul '17

11 Jul '17

Feature added by: Martin Herkt (lachs0r) Feature #323691, revision 1 Title: Improve performance with Intel CPUs and intel_pstate driver openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Martin Herkt (lachs0r) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently, openSUSE defaults to the âpowersaveâ cpufreq governor on modern Intel CPUs. This however effectively disables Turbo frequencies completely, leading to drastically reduced performance and, in fact, worse battery runtimes on mobile devices (at least with Haswell and newer, as far as I can tell). This should be fixed by defaulting to âperformance,â the only other available frequency governor. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/323691
