Feature added by: Arvin Schnell <aschnell(a)novell.com> Feature #305144, revision 1, last change by Title: [Feature-request] Yast as a Linux learning tool openSUSE-11.1: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Alexey Eremenko <al4321(a)gmail.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hi All ! I Have very good new idea: converting Yast into a Linux learning tool. This is very simple to achieve: Yast must show the commands it executes and files it modifies, in a nice GUI dialog. It will allow all kinds of Linux users understand how things really work. Enable learn new things or remind how old-but-forgotten things work for seasoned people. Great, isn't it ? P.S. Jay Vollmer recommends, that among the commands that Yast shows as it executing, it should also recommend "man pages" for the relevant underlying commands. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov", 29.jul.2008.

Or, what's under the bonnet, for the Brits. #3: Cyril Hrubis <chrubis(a)novell.com> (2008-07-31 07:11:21) Moving to maintainers to decide. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305144

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #305931, revision 1, last change by Title: Temporary Build Support (aka mbuild) Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Description: A temporary build support is wanted to obsolete what we currently have internal as mbuild. A temporary Build should fullfill the following requirements: * Upload of local sources without the need to create a project or package namespace manually. * Build as part of an existing project, without the need to have write access there and without to modify it. * Build results should be stored and downloadable for X time. Afterwards they need to get removed automatically. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305931

I was thinking it's an option to boot in Vesa when the original xorg.conf fails. Than the user is still able to fix the problem via a GUI i.e. YaST and SAX. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305929

An authenticated user has to enable/start this user account. This could be either implemented with a by default existing but inactivated user account (like Windows) or temporary created user account via login manager/session switch applet (like Ubuntu, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/gdm-guest-login) Use Case: Allow to lend your laptop to someone else for quick email check, surfing or playing music at a party. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306282

Feature added by: Michael Loeffler <michl(a)novell.com> Feature #305305, revision 1, last change by Title: 1-click uninstall openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michael Loeffler <michl(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: An easy way to remove Software! For example: you installed an application with "1-click install" (which will install all the packages that you need), there should be an easy way (also with 1 click) to remove what you have installed with that 1-click operation... in another words: an "1-click Uninstall" to remove installed software (dependencies and packages included). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305305

Feature added by: Martin Schlander (cb400f) Feature #305664, revision 1, last change by Title: Server CD openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Martin Schlander (cb400f) Description: Providing an official openSUSE server cd - with some often used server software - and perhaps a lightweight window manager like icewm or similar - would be a great thing for a number of reasons. - openSUSE is generally considered a desktop centric distribution, providing a server cd would do a heck of a lot to highligt the excellent (home-)server qualities of openSUSE. - The few people that realize that the openSUSE DVD/netinstall actually offers text mode/server installation, are often discouraged by needing to download a full DVD, or do troublesome and slow http/ftp installation. - Server users are generally more technical people, it would be beneficial to attract more of these to the openSUSE project. - More people using openSUSE on home servers would likely have spill-over effects on SLES sales. - An openSUSE server cd, would be an excellent response to Ubuntu server edition and Microsoft Home Server. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305664
