[Bug 384845] New: Install banshee-1 by default in GNOME

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=384845 Summary: Install banshee-1 by default in GNOME Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Patterns AssignedTo: coolo(a)novell.com ReportedBy: abockover(a)novell.com QAContact: coolo(a)novell.com Found By: --- Currently we still have the old banshee packages installed by the pattern. It's time to switch the pattern to install the new banshee-1 packages which contain the new Banshee 1.0 series releases. The Beta 1 (Banshee) release will provide most of the feature parity, so it's time to switch. Requires (these are desktop agnostic): banshee-1 banshee-1-backend-engine-gstreamer banshee-1-backend-platform-unix Recommends (extra goodies): banshee-1-extensions-default Recommends (GNOME support): banshee-1-backend-platform-gnome The -backend-platform-gnome support package provides GConf and other GNOME specific functionality. It should only be installed if running GNOME. The -extensions-default should always be installed since it provides much of the functionality users will expect from Banshee, even though it's not technically required.

[Bug 386426] New: Support root on encrypted filesystem (Feature No: 302191)

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=386426 Summary: Support root on encrypted filesystem (Feature No: 302191) Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bitdealer(a)gmail.com QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com Found By: --- According to http://en.opensuse.org/Testing:Features_11.0#Support_root_on_encrypted_file… openSUSE 11.0 finally supports installation with everything encrypted except /boot so one doesn't have to go the troublesome way described at http://en.opensuse.org/Encrypted_Root_File_System . Unfortunately this still doesn't work - as in Yast complains, like it does in pre 11.0 versions, that installing / encrypted isn't possible. Especially for laptop users this subject is very important - also if you keep the world wide decrease of privacy protection in mind. Since all the needed functionality, except the installation, is already there and working it shouldn't be too hard to implement and a plus for the openSUSE distribution which brings it on feature parity with most of its competition (strictly speaking about this subject). So it would be great if this finally makes it in with 11.0. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I installed KDE4 Destop. 1. All the installation (except the first screen, the content of the slides and the configuration) was full in English. 2. Yast2 did not install yast2-trans-wa (in language pattern "wa") it did install only what was in language pattern ("wa_BE"). 3. There is no kde4-l10n-wa package, despite wa was released as official language in KDE 4.0.x branch. Result, nothing in walloon, everything in English. If I install with Yast yast2-trans-wa, when I launch in the console with root "LANGAGE=wa_BE;yast2", only the menubar of Yast is localized, the rest and the module are in English. All of these where working on alpha release of openSUSE 11.0 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

When downloading packages fails due to transient network burps, the installer should wait a few moments and try again. Every error I saw I could work around by clicking Retry. It made it necessary to babysit the installation much more than would otherwise be necessary. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
