[opensuse-factory] New package 'opensuse-welcome' to Factory
Greetings. openSUSE Welcome is a utility that as its name implies, welcomes people to openSUSE. There's not really much more to it, but here's a rundown of everything it offers. - Welcome Screen - Welcomes people with fancy graphics, links to information, and a news blurb. You can disable it on startup here. - Desktop Environment Help/Information Button - If openSUSE Welcome can detect your desktop environment, it'll offer a button to launch its help utility or open its wiki. - Show on Next Startup - Because you don't want to be welcomed for the fourteenth time this day.

Looks awesome!
If any DE maintainers want to test it on their DEs, that would be appreciated. Currently, I've tested it on the following:
Just tried it in a Plasma Wayland session, the desktop icon is missing. This is because the desktop file's name does not match what the application says it is, it needs to be called org.opensuse.opensuse-welcome.desktop. A minor issue I found is that installation into /usr/local produces a broken .desktop file, the Exec= entry still refers to /usr/bin. I had quick look at the code and notices that it makes use of HTML and friends. It seems to load RSS data over HTTP (no TLS) and shows the latest entry in the page. If there's some vulnerability found in the RSS entry display, arbitrary code can be executed using launcher.launch("foo"). I'd open an issue on GitHub about each of these, but it seems like issues are disabled. Cheers, Fabian

I missed that part, will take a look. It should still install to /usr prefix :/ LCP [Stasiek] https://lcp.world -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

IMHO for that reason the default for the tickbox to show it next time should be "off"

I was gonna do that, but the fontawesome theme in the package was too old to have mastodon or activitypub logos, will update. LCP [Stasiek] https://lcp.world -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Cool! Works fine with LXQt too :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
Hi, so this is supposed to be included and shown on startup when installing any desktop environment? That might not be a good idea on slow systems like the Raspberry Pi. I'm also using Qt WebEngine in some of my own Qt applications and noticed that the performance on those cheap ARM boards is very poor the high memory usage is also critical. So I would avoid having this by default on such devices. Am Mittwoch, 10. Juli 2019, 18:41:55 CEST schrieb Carson Black:

Resource consumption by openSUSE Welcome isn't much, even on systems with only 1GB of RAM. It takes a bit less than 100MB of RAM for me. And considering that it's the first thing that will start up and the first thing that will be closed, I don't see it as much of an issue. -- Carson Black [pontaos] On Tue, Jul 16, 2019 at 10:55 AM Marius Kittler <mkittler@suse.de> wrote:
