[Bug 570871] New: Wishlist: SCIM needs to be replaced with IBUS

Inputting languages based on non-latin character is a very important issue for many users, and I would recommend that openSUSE follow the same direction of Ubuntu and Fedora. The reasons are detailed in a page describing why Ubuntu's recent Karmic release included IBUS (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/desktop-karmic-input-methods) I quote the relevant sections: "Because SCIM is unmaintained upstream and has too many bugs which we can not fix, Ubuntu has switched to IBus as preferred input method framework. IBus is actively developed by Redhat employees and has fixed a number of design issues SCIM has. Rationale: * SCIM upstream is pretty dead * SCIM has a lot of design issues which can only be fixed through a complete rewrite from scratch * iBus is used by Fedora since Fedora 10 as a replacement for SCIM and is actively developed" Reproducible: Always -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 738532] New: PDF-PS conversion shakes letters

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738532 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738532#c0 Summary: PDF-PS conversion shakes letters Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing AssignedTo: jsmeix(a)suse.com ReportedBy: sommerluk(a)gmail.com QAContact: jsmeix(a)suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0 It seems that there is an error in the PDF-PS conversion. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the attached test.pdf in okular. It displays perfectly. 2. Print the file. Actual Results: In the printer output, the letters are moved. Expected Results: It prints like it is displayed by okular. My printer is a Lexmark Optra M412 on the parallel port. I've tried it with the PS driver, with GutenprintPCL6 driver, with HPIJP driver, with laserjet driver. Always the same result. I've done in Okuluar (with test.pdf loaded) File->Print->Printo to file (PS) and I've saved the result in test.ps. There you see also the shifted letters. So I assume that this is a problem of the conversion from PDF to PS, and not a problem of a specific printer driver. (BTW: When I print test.pdf with acroread, it works fine.) (BTW: This isn't the first problem with printing that I had in openSUSE 12.1. I've yet seen that parts of the output simply were lacking in the printout.) -- 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.

[Bug 780833] New: Unable to enter password for encrypted swap file on boot: boot stalls

It had an encrypted swap partition. After upgrade the nice boot dialogue asked for my password immediately(US k/b only at this stage): appears not to have loaded the drivers for a cordless usb k/b either. Can't enter password, doesn't time out and just attempt to boot and mount the swap later (perhaps when it used to do at the same time as the other encrypted partitions??). Stuck. There's probably a workaround available using the install disk as a rescue disk, but attempting to google a solution on a small smartphone screen left me wanting to eat my own liver. Ended up doing a fresh install. k/b = logitech 'internet 1500 cordless' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade from 12.1 with encryped swap file 2. Boot Actual Results: Stuck on boot dialogue 'enter password for <swap partition>'. Will not accept k/b input Expected Results: I'd really have like to enter a password and continue booting. Doesn't seem too much to hope for really. -- 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.
