[openFate 305149] [Feature-request] Yast Expert Partitioner: should not require mounting "/" root partition

Feature added by: Arvin Schnell <aschnell(a)novell.com> Feature #305149, revision 1, last change by Title: [Feature-request] Yast Expert Partitioner: should not require mounting "/" root partition openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Alexey Eremenko <al4321(a)gmail.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hi All ! Since openSUSE 11.1 will have brand new expert partitioner, I would like to request the ability to use SUSE's partitioner for partition hard disks for other operating systems. Currently it is not possible, because SUSE requires mounting "/" root partition. In some cases I need to install third-party OSes before I install openSUSE, so I want to use SUSE flexible partitioner to partition and format the hard disk, then install the other OSes and only in the end I want to install openSUSE. -Alexey Discussion: #1: Arvin Schnell <aschnell(a)novell.com> (2008-08-04 08:41:18) So in a nutshell you want to use the partitioner as a separate program (started from the DVD) without the other installation features like package managment. Right? #2: Arvin Schnell <aschnell(a)novell.com> (2008-08-05 12:11:02) Not mounting "/" during installation will certainly lead to a failure so I hesitate to remove the check. But we could add a special mode with disabled checks. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305149

[openFATE 306173] delayed insert for clipboard paste actions
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Aug '09

Feature added by: Ciaran Farrell (babelworx) Feature #306173, revision 1, last change by Title: delayed insert for clipboard paste actions ideas.opensuse.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Ciaran Farrell (babelworx) Description: One thing which has annoyed me since SUSE 9 is the interaction between (etc) KDE and the (x)clipboard. After selecting a text in a browser, etc, one would expect to be able to use the middle mouse button, or possibly ctrl-v to paste the selected text into another application. This works sometimes. However, more often than not, the expected result does not come about - either a completely different text is pasted (e.g. an 'older' clipboard entry) or nothing at all. Pasting something which you don't mean to paste into an application such as IRC, IM or a web form could mean sending information which you never meant to send - particularly if the pasting action automatically triggers submission. Thus, maybe it would be possible (in the absence of clipboard being made work as expected - and yes, I have tried all the options such as sync etc) to have a delayed insert whereby there would be a timeout of, e.g. 3 seconds after pasting. The user would have 3 seconds to frantically hit "STOP!" before the text is automatically sent. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306173

[openFATE 305784] Wireless light blinks all the time
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Feature added by: Robert Lewis (rll123) Feature #305784, revision 1, last change by Title: Wireless light blinks all the time openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Robert Lewis (rll123) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The LED blinking is very distracting and needs to be controlable. The LED blinks when traffic goes through the wireless card. However you can configure the LED behavior in /sys/class/net/wlanX/device/leds. For example something like echo none > /sys/class/net/wlanX/device/leds/*TX/trigger echo none > /sys/class/net/wlanX/device/leds/*RX/trigger echo none > /sys/class/net/wlanX/device/leds/*assoc/trigger should deactivate the blinking while traffic is received or transmitted. Just play with the LED triggers to get the desired behavior. This is a work around for a few people not afraid to muck with such things but a GUI user interface to turn this on/off will be needed for most people. I think we need YaST options in the wireless network area to tune the LED behavior. > Agreed. A graphical user interface would be very nice for tuning the LED > behavior. I suggest to open a feature request at [2] for that. > >Thanks, > Helmut -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305784

[openFATE 306304] support "Obsolete this by another package"

Feature added by: Stanislav Brabec (sbrabec) Feature #306304, revision 1, last change by Title: support "Obsolete this by another package" openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stanislav Brabec (sbrabec) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: If third party wants to terminate a temporary branch of a package, which should is obsoleted by the mainline, adding Obsoletes: foo-old-branch into the mainline package is not an option (it's possible only for official packages). Support for an Obsolete tag counterpart initiated by the existing package would fix this situation. Example: Name: gimp-unstable Version: 2.5.23 Provides: gimp = %{version} ObsoleteBy: gimp >= 2.6 It would allow to provide mainline gimp packages without Obsoletes: gimp-unstable < 2.6 and even allow thitd partines to create temporary branches of packages. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Providing a significantly modified packages, that are known to be obsolete after upgrade to the -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306304

[openFATE 305866] osc/obs: load Packages from every Project without Link

Feature added by: Sascha Manns (saigkill) Feature #305866, revision 1, last change by Title: osc/obs: load Packages from every Project without Link Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Sascha Manns (saigkill) Description: If i build Packages with OBS/OSC, i must link Packages from other Project to my own. I wish me, that future Releases from OBS/OSC solve the depencies automaticly, and load the Packages from every Repository. Other Way, is if we give Repositories an Priority Number. So the OSC/OBS works first with the high Priority Repos. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305866

Feature added by: Vitaliy Tomin (HighwayStar) Feature #306195, revision 1, last change by Title: Add DPI option to SaX2 openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Vitaliy Tomin (highwaystar) Description: DPI are very important thing for good font rendering, it always should be equal horizontal and vertical means. Now SaX have option for set display size in millimeters, but it not usefull. By automatic detection SaX make strange DPI means like 95x101 or 84x91 or something else. This values produce ugly font rendering. I suggest to make an option to set fixed DPI for screen, or easier set of physycal screen size in millimetrs to make an wanted DPI like 96, that mean DPI : 96x96 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306195
