Feature added by: David Kroher (dkroher) Feature #307464, revision 1 Title: YAST to manage multiple machines openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: David Kroher (dkroher) Description: Instead of doing a remote X session to each machine, it would be nice if one could "connect to another computer" and manage that machine directly from the current yast interface. Just being able to quickly manage multiple machines within one yast interface would be nice without the X overhead on the network. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307464

[openFATE 306600] A small change that would make openSUSE a bit easier to use
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Feature added by: Glöm Det (Searching_for_Answers) Feature #306600, revision 1 Title: A small change that would make openSUSE a bit easier to use openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Glöm Det (searching_for_answers) Description: I'm not the most exprienced Unix/Linux user and as a nuub I see how you could make it easier for other nuubs coming from Windows. When I look at the openSUSE directory(is it shared with Linux and Unix?) I see alot complicated abbriviations like sbin, var, opt, mnt, proc and stuff. Now I could google what they stand for and what types of files are in there but it would be easier if I didn't have too. There for I suggest that you rename... DON'T GIVE UP... those files to their full extension names. I know this wouldn't work out well since it might be important for developers and the speed of terminal writing that the remain as they are. Instead here is my solution. Keep the directory as it is but add this feature too openSUSE. When you hold/right click your mouse over the folder the full name appears. If you for exampel hold it over the lib folder the full name of library appears and a short description telling what kinds of files that are stored here. When you comes to making your own folders you are are able too write description and the full name if you want. That can't be too complicated to make right. It is a small change that will make it alot better. But maybe I'm not asking the right persons here. Maybe Dolphin the file manager's crew is the one to tell about this suggestions. In that case or if you have any questions. Send a private message to Searching_for_answers . P.S. I discoverd this Use and Test cases now. I don't know what they're for so I leave them blank -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306600

[openFate 305724] Allow to take over old users by home directory
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Feature added by: Jiří Suchomel (jsuchome) Feature #305724, revision 1, last change by Title: Allow to take over old users by home directory openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Jiří Suchomel (jsuchome) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: (from bug reporter:) I have a seperate /home partition and whenever I reinstall/upgrade I just set up the same user as before and he gets assigned the same uid (1000) so nothing gets broken. But I guess with more users and corresponding home directories this aproach begs for wrong permissions, so I suggest the following: In case /home isn't empty it could take all directories available and list them as users to specify their data (Name, login, passwort etc as usual) and then assign corresponding uid.

Would be cool to have a more noticeable icon that is fine with most desktop themes. openSUSE Air theme is neat, but I can see with effort NM icon. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308188
