[openFATE 307489] Combine repositories!
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Dec '10

30 Dec '10

Feature added by: Jason Fergus (jfergus) Feature #307489, revision 1 Title: Combine repositories! openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jason Fergus (jfergus) Description: openSUSE would be at least 50x easier to install / maintain if they took a different approach to the repositories. Look at Fedora. They dropped Core and Extras and made it one big distribution, then all the dag, livna and freshrpms combined into rpmfusion.org. This is what should / needs to happen with openSUSE. For someone who is used to doing it, this is probably not that big of a deal. To someone who is used to installing Windows and having to scour the Internet for drivers, it's not that big of deal. To someone coming from using mostly Fedora, Ubuntu or Debian, this is HUGE. Fedora is simple, add rpmfusion.org and probably the adobe yum repository and you have access to everything from drivers to flash. In Debian, just enable non-free and contrib, then the debian-multimedia (for mplayer, mythtv etc) and you're all set. Ubuntu really only needs medibuntu repositories and you can get everything you need for a decent setup. openSUSE has a ton that need to be enabled. Emulators, Pacman, nvidia, etc. While it is nice and simple that you have a 'one click' install for most things, it still would be easier / simpler to just run 'zypper install atari800' without having to add the Emulator repository. This and the menus are the only thing that really throws me off of running openSUSE. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307489

Feature added by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #306915, revision 1 Title: zypper lu should show scutiry updates in red/bold openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: It would be useful for zypper lu to show security updates in red/bold fonts, to make them prominent, especially as colors are already in zypper version 1.2.0 according to http://jniq.blogspot.com/2009/06/colors-in-zypper.html -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306915

[openFATE 307719] hplip-hpcups and assoicated packages
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Dec '10

Feature added by: Kirk Kimmel (omf) Feature #307719, revision 1 Title: hplip-hpcups and assoicated packages openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Kirk Kimmel (omf) Description: One thing I have never understood is this hplip-hpcups package. If I uninstall this package, hplip-hpijs is automatically marked for install. If I uncheck that package as well and Accept the changes via YaST2 Software Management these packages are removed. However the next time I start Software Management hplip-hpijs is checked to be installed again. The only way to stop this behavior is to mark both packages as Taboo. Shouldn't I be able to remove packages that are not needed without having to jump through hoops to make sure they do not get installed again. Currently running OpenSUSE 11.2 Milestone 6. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307719

[openFATE 307140] Include Ramlog application in OpenSUSE
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Dec '10

Feature added by: Glenn Doig (doiggl) Feature #307140, revision 1 Title: Include Ramlog application in OpenSUSE openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Glenn Doig (doiggl) Description: See article Improve system performance by moving your log files to RAM http://www.linux.com/feature/141231 (http://www.linux.com/feature/141231) http://tofu3.szm.sk/ramlog/ (http://tofu3.szm.sk/ramlog/) (Some info) The Ramlog project lets you keep your system logs in RAM while your machine is running and copies them to disk when you shut down. If you are running a laptop or mobile device with syslog enabled, Ramlog might help you increase your battery life or the life of the flash drive on your mobile device. As a side effect of using Ramlog, you will be less likely to be caught out by a daemon that suddenly starts sending a message to syslog every 30 seconds and saps your battery keeping the hard disk spinning. Thankyou -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307140

[New: openFATE 308304] Graphical installation should use native drivers
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Dec '10

Feature added by: Marco Poletti (poletti_marco) Feature #308304, revision 1 Title: Graphical installation should use native drivers openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Marco Poletti (poletti_marco) Description: The installation process now uses fbdev driver instead of native, for compatibility reasons. I think it should use native drivers when it's possible. This would allow: 1) Support to widescreen resolutions, so for example you don't have to use 1024x768 if you have a 1280x768 notebook. 2) Using 32 bit per pixel (if available) for installations, so we can have nice shades instead of current ugly 16 bit/pixel shades. This has been already reported as two wishes in bugzilla (bug 534895 and bug 535049), but was closed as Invalid because Unless we decide to switch to native driver also for installation I need to mark this one as INVALID. So if you want wide resolutions and smoother shades, vote for this! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308304

[New: openFATE 308307] Developers help translators with screenshots
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Dec '10

Feature added by: Kálmán Kéménczy (kkemenczy) Feature #308307, revision 1 Title: Developers help translators with screenshots openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Kálmán Kéménczy (kkemenczy) Description: Translating GUI is not easy task. This is not a simple translation but localization. We would like to provide usable interface for non-english users. Developers could help a lot if they could create screenshots to help translator's work. This screenshots could upload somewhere in opensuse filesystem infrastructure and developers could put the screenshot URL in the source code as translation comment. Translators could easliy find out the right phrase, can coose right hot keys and this could speed up the translation and leverage the quality. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308307
