Feature added by: Matthias Eckermann (mge1512) Feature #326877, revision 1 Title: [LATE_ENTERED] Add option of UDF format to Yast partition manager Requested by: Ilya Chernykh (ansus) Requested by: Matthias Eckermann (mge1512) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: [Copied feature: for SLE 15 SP1] UDF is an universal disk format file system, which can be used on optical rewritable and non-rewritable media, USB flash drives and hard drives. The file system is supported by all modern operating systems, including Windows, BSD, MacOS X, Solaris, OS/2|eComStation, BeOS|Haiku as well as Linux kernel, making it one of the best choices to use when transferring data between platforms. UDF also has optional built-in ability to minimize wearing-off of rewritable media with limited rewrite cycles such as flash, CD-RW and DVD-RAM by evenly distributing load over the media, including access to the allocation table. Despite this Yast2 partition manager does not suggest option to format a volume into UDF, thus forcing to use a mkudffs command line tool. Relations: - Add option of UDF format to Yast partition manager (feature/childof: 312911) - Add option of UDF format to Yast partition manager (feature/copiedfrom: 312911) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/326877

[New: openFATE 326741] zypper: use dialog to display license

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #326741, revision 1 Title: zypper: use dialog to display license Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: >From user feedback I got at Akademy. By default zypper displays licenses to confirm in "less". That requires pressing 'q' to exit the pager. That is not intuitive for not so Linux experienced users. So to make this more user friendly, zypper could use "dialog" instead of less if available. An example call could be for example: # dialog --textbox /etc/YaST2/licenses/base/license.txt $((LINES-5)) 85 --and-widget --yesno $"Do you agree with the terms of the license?" 0 0 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/326741

Feature added by: Algimantas B (algyzas) Feature #308445, revision 1 Title: Tor is not working out of box Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Algimantas B (algyzas) Description: Let's say I installed tor, it is came alone, without privoxy. One should download it manually. And then if I try :~> screen torify konqueror hich: no tsocks in (/home/senis/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:.) /usr/bin/torify: Can't find tsocks in PATH. Perhaps you haven't installed it? [screen is terminating] There is a guide http://en.opensuse.org/Privoxy_tor_squid how to setup it, I'll try it, but in some other distributions it works out of box like this. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308445

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #326928, revision 1 Title: Improve conflict resolution Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: relaying from https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2018-11/msg00273.html Vendor change conflicts may have a common resolution for several packages. It would be more user friendly to group them and require only a single decission from the user. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/326928

[New: openFATE 309627] Enhance 'Safely Remove' to spin-down and power-off usb HDDs
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 07 Nov '18

Feature added by: Pete Clayson (Olmy) Feature #309627, revision 1 Title: Enhance 'Safely Remove' to spin-down and power-off usb HDDs openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pete Clayson (olmy) Description: 'Safely remove' should (as far as possible) allow for genuine safe removal of all media. Under certain other OSs, the 'safely remove' option on usb devices will... 1/ On usb pen drive with a power/activity led, switch it off (trivial nicety, but reassuring). 2/ On usb HDDs, spin down the disk and power off. This seems more important. There is some discussion about this, for example, http://elliotli.blogspot.com/2009/01/safely-remove-usb-hard-drive-in-linux.… (http://elliotli.blogspot.com/2009/01/safely-remove-usb-hard-drive-in-linux.…) I know that the latest version of Ubuntu does this and there is a script offered in the above link. However, the script, as it stands and run on my installation of OpenSUSE, does not seem to work (in the same way as WinXP or Ubuntu, anyway - my WD600D036 disk does not power off) despite the positive messages in verbose mode. Perhaps this is the CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND option mentioned? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309627
