Feature changed by: prusnak Feature #303751, revision 7 Title: Support 802.1X Authentication on Wired Networks openSUSE-11.1: New Priority Requester: Desirable SLED-11: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: prusnak(a)novell.com Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: SUSE Linux does not support 802.1X authentication on Wired Networks. That means that users which need this feature have to install and configure it manually. What's even worse, users in authenticated environment cannot install SUSE from network. This feature consists of 3 tasks: 1) add suport to sysconfig/netcontrol (e.g. by calling wpa_supplicant - D wired -i eth0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_wired.conf in network scripts) 2) add support to NetworkManager (and its frontends - NetworkManager-gnome and NetworkManager-kde) 3) add configuration dialogs to YaST (during the installation and outside the installation - on running system) PS: Fedora Rawhide (equivalent of openSUSE Factory) already has working implementation in NetworkManager-gnome. I do not know about other tasks. Discussion: #1: snwint(a)novell.com (2008-04-30 11:01:48) We already run wpa_suplicant during installation. Could you please explain the difference to your proposal and what exactly needs to be changed? #2: prusnak(a)novell.com (2008-04-30 11:23:26) (reply to #1) I'm talking about 802.1x authentication on wired networks (Ethernet). I'm not able to enter my credentials during install phase and even worse I cannot enter them in installed system either and I have to create wpa_supplicant with credentials by hand. #3: snwint(a)novell.com (2008-04-30 12:00:41) (reply to #2) And what needs to be changed to the present wpa_supplicant call? + #5: prusnak(a)novell.com (2008-04-30 13:06:57) (reply to #3) + Probably nothing, but installation lacks configuration of user + credentials and there seem to be no way to input them in installed + system too (eg. using YaST). #4: tambet(a)novell.com (2008-04-30 13:22:45) NetworkManager does support wired 802.1x authentication (SLED10-SP2 and opensuse 11.0 beta1) and the feature request is already in FATE: 301902. -- SUSE Feature Tool: http://partnerfate.suse.de/?rm=feature_show&id=303751

[Fate 303736] yast and libzypp should respect the disk space reserved for root
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 28 Apr '08

Feature added by: lslezak Feature #303736, revision 1 Title: yast and libzypp should respect the disk space reserved for root openSUSE-11.1: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: lslezak(a)novell.com Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: If e.g. root partition has 70MB free user space and 500MB free space reserved for root user yast reports 570MB total free space. But installation of a package which is greater than 70MB fails: installing package kdelibs3-devel-doc-3.5.5-45 needs 335MB on the / filesystem Yast should display the non-root free space (70MB in this case). It seems that it is valid only for ext2/ext3 filesystems (XFS and ReiserFS seem to not support root space). Default reserved space for ext2/ext3 is 5%.

Feature changed by: dmacvicar Feature #303708, revision 8 Title: Mascot for YaST openSUSE-11.1: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: aj(a)novell.com Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Every successfull product has it's own logo and mascot. We should create and market one for YaST as well, display it prominently on all YaST project pages and also in YaST, e.g. in any About screens or as easter egg. Discussion: #2: michl(a)novell.com (2008-04-24 12:46:55) I'm fine with that. I think this should come out of the inner YaST circle with some help from design people like Jakub. #3: michl(a)novell.com (2008-04-24 19:54:31) (reply to #2) And we should inlcude the community on that. Zonker might call for ideas/participation for logo creation on his blog and news.openSUSE. org + #4: dmacvicar(a)novell.com (2008-04-25 12:08:16) + # zypper moo + \\\\\ + \\\\\\\__o + __\\\\\\\'/_ + http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog -- SUSE Feature Tool: http://partnerfate.suse.de/?rm=feature_show&id=303708
