Feature added by: rosero mancera (leroman) Feature #308123, revision 1 Title: Camaras web openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: rosero mancera (leroman) Description: Buen dia, me gustaria que open suse 11.2 , mejorara en el reconocimiento de camaras web, un ejemplo es que mi camara genius look 316 la probe en fedora y fue reconocida sin ningun problema, mientras espero la salida definitiva de suse 11.2 he probado tambienTrisquel 3.0 y el reconocimiento de la camara es mas que excelente, me pregunto porque no puedo utilizar la misma camara en OpenSuse mi distribución preferida?, no soy informatico ni se mucho del tema, pero quisiera que cuando instalo a Suse, me funcionara todo... estarian ustedes deacuerdo conmigo? la verdad quisiera ser de mas ayuda pero tengo pocos conocimientos de como realizar cambios sustanciales del mejor sistema que a mi parecer es open suse, si pudieran arreglar este reconocimiento de Harware en realidad seria mas que estupendo. Mil y Mil gracias por su atención y nuevamente felicitaciones Comunidad Open Suse. Leonardo Rosero. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308123

Feature added by: Stefan Seifert (niner9) Feature #307820, revision 1 Title: upgrade perl to 5.10.1 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stefan Seifert (niner9) Description: The perl 5.10.1 maintenance release is now more than a month old and fixes many bugs and regressions (see http://search.cpan.org/~dapm/perl-5.10.1/pod/perl5101delta.pod ). It would be desirable to have it in openSUSE 11.2 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307820

[openFATE 307492] "Report a Bug" icon for pre-release versions
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Feature added by: Kevin Dupuy (kdupuy9) Feature #307492, revision 1 Title: "Report a Bug" icon for pre-release versions openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Kevin Dupuy (kdupuy9) Description: Inspired in part by Windows 7's links to "report a problem", I think that to make it easier and quicker to access Bugzilla, we should include a desktop icon and panel launcher to open the Bugzilla "Enter new bug" page (https://bugzilla.novell.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=openSUSE%2011.2&format=gu…) (with the product already filled in, as above), with all pre-release (NOT FINAL) versions of 11.3 and beyond (or 11.2 if we have time) I've already created a .desktop file to do this, and use it on my own when testing 11.2/Factory. The file can be found here (http://kevinsword.com/images/Report%20a%20Bug.desktop) (choose Save Link As to download, or click to view the actual text in it). Please also see my blog post about this: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/08/23/1-click-bug-reporting/ Use Case: Joe Tester runs the latest pre-release version of openSUSE to help squash some bugs. He finds a bug that makes an application crash. He simply double-clicks on the Report a Bug icon or clicks on the panel launcher, and Firefox opens to Bugzilla, with the product already filled in. He can then search for the bug and file it if it doesn't already exist. Joe Tester now feels good about himself. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307492

[openFATE 307464] YAST to manage multiple machines
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

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

Feature added by: Petr Tesařík (ptesarik) Feature #306921, revision 1 Title: s390(x) dump analysis on x86/x86_64 using crosscrash Hackweek IV: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Petr Tesařík (ptesarik) Description: crosscrash is an unfinished tool, though interesting. One of the major drawbacks is its inability to open dumps from big-endian architectures on little-endian hosts, most importantly s390x dumps on x86_64. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306921

[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.
