[openFATE 308152] KEEP Sax2's GUI in 11.2 Final!
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Jan '11

Feature added by: Tara Ikeda (TaraIkeda) Feature #308152, revision 1 Title: KEEP Sax2's GUI in 11.2 Final! openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Tara Ikeda (taraikeda) Description: Relying on KDE4's xrandr is nonsense, I never had it work right for me. The issue is that when you do change the resolution in KDE4 it does stay but only for that session, its my biggest gripe with KDE 4 right now is that its monitor detection tools default to whatever resolution the system. its stupid to rely on KDE4's screen resolution tool! If you install your system and it does not detect your best resolution it might stick you with an inferior resolution. My default resolution is 800x600 and I want my best resolution 1024x768, but with Sax2 gone I have to rely on KDE4's resolution settings tool. Sounds easy enough right? WRONG! If your system defaults to the small resolution guess what, your screwed if KDE4 does not remember your desired resolution. And for me it never did, I always needed something like Mandriva's control center or Sax2. I get stuck with 800x600, its why I cant use Kubuntu! What are we trying to make openSUSE like Kubuntu, so that when you need a higher resolution by default you have to edit xorg and crap like that? Sax2 needs to remain, it is impossible for me to rely on KDE4's buttf%$&ed resolution tool and its inability to save my desired resolution. The people who suggested it be removed need thier heads examined, we need the GUI tool for new users. If we take a useful tool like this away it will be foolish, to remove the GUI and have people use the commandline to access this useful tool boarders on stupidity. If the team wants to attract more new users you must keep Sax's GUI there, I think its screwed up that you people suggested it to be removed. And to see it actually go through is another stupid move, whoever okayed this stupid idea must be six times as stupid. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308152

[openFATE 307510] Cron: set MAX_DAYS_IN_TEMP different from 0
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Jan '11

18 Jan '11

Feature added by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (RGBsuse) Feature #307510, revision 1 Title: Cron: set MAX_DAYS_IN_TEMP different from 0 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (rgbsuse) Description: By default, openSUSE set MAX_DAYS_IN_TMP and MAX_DAYS_IN_LONG_TMP to zero, which means /tmp and /var/tmp folders are never cleaned. New users do not know of this, and after a while their hard drives ends with a lot of “garbage”. People who need those files not to be removed for sure will know how to change this default value but many people who don't need those files will not know about them until a “disk full” warning appears. This is particularly true for netbooks and old computer with small drives. My proposal is to set cron defaults to periodically clean the /tmp and /var/tmp folders. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307510

It needs to have speed. Fast boot time like in Ubuntu or Fedora would REALLY be nice. Also, speed up most of the applications including YaST and Update manager. On Distrowatch.com, they put up that openSUSE is slow and bloated sometimes(resource heavy YaST or other openSUSE-Specific apps.) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306774
