[openFATE 305807] Make cleanup in applications and Control Center
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Feature added by: Piotrek Juzwiak (BenderBendingRodriguez) Feature #305807, revision 1, last change by Title: Make cleanup in applications and Control Center openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) Description: What i find every time very irritating is the idea behind Control Center and applications. It should be clearly differed. After a clean install there are too many configuration tools in the applications browser what makes it difficult to browse (despite having an option to search, of course if You know what You are searching for). Not everyone knows how to clean everything up, in my example most configuration tools are in the Control Center what makes A LOT more room for applications in Application Browser what makes it easier to browse for apps. SO: make a clear distinction of what is a configuration tool and what is an application. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305807

[openFate 305727] rpmbuild build should warn about possibly by mistake %excluded files
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Feature added by: Stephan Binner (Beineri) Feature #305727, revision 1, last change by Title: rpmbuild build should warn about possibly by mistake %excluded files openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stephan Binner (beineri) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: If one works with %exclude macros in %files sections, esp with several sub-packages and wildcards in the %exclude statements, then it can easily happen that files installed to the RPM_BUILD_ROOT do not get packaged into a package at all. This case happens currently completely silent. rpmbuild should warn when an installed file gets only referenced by an %exclude statement but nowhere else. An option might be to make this warning a build error and to have a policy to allow installed files to be excluded from packages by well visible "rm $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/foo" calls within the .spec only. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305727

[openFate 305721] Desktop should survive a dbus restart
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #305721, revision 1, last change by Title: Desktop should survive a dbus restart openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Many applications have issues when dbus is restarted. It seems people want this to be possible, see for example https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439616 This is more than just a bug, and covers many packages, so I'm opening this feature to track this. On the GNOME side, the mandatory part are probably gdm and gnome-session, in order to not have the current sessions closed. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305721

Feature added by: Vincent Steenhoute (civ75) Feature #305683, revision 1, last change by Title: Add web browser for SUSE Installation openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Vincent Steenhoute (civ75) Interested: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: While installing SUSE with the classic installation CD/DVD, add a web browser. Somes peoples don't use LiveCD and prefer Install DVD, giving them possibility to browse internet while all the package are installed would be a must. I guess Webkit will fit nicely with the QT UI of our installation. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305683

[openFate 305146] Use old system network configuration when updating instead of demanding a new one
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Feature added by: Lukas Ocilka <locilka(a)novell.com> Feature #305146, revision 1, last change by Title: Use old system network configuration when updating instead of demanding a new one openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Pacho Ramos <pacho(a)condmat1.ciencias.uniovi.es> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently, when I try to update from opensuse 10.3 to 11.0 with DVD and I want to add network repositories, I have to configure again my network for opensuse installer even when it is already configured on my opensuse-10.3 I think that would be much better try to use network configuration from old installation and only ask user if a problem occurs Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: System update from media: Start installation / Update, select network-based repositories to be used, you will be asked to configure the network. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305146

[openFATE 306313] show clock and battery status in screensaver unlock window
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 14 Jun '09

14 Jun '09

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #306313, revision 1, last change by Title: show clock and battery status in screensaver unlock window openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Description: show the current time and battery status in the screensaver's unlock window Test Case: active the screen lock, check if the current time and battery status is displayed Use Case: When sitting in conferences with a laptop and one actually pays attention to the conference the screensaver often kicks in. Pressing a button only shows the unlock window which requires typing the password. Typing on the laptop might be considered impolite during though so it would be useful if the unlock screen would at least show the current time so you know how long the conference is going to take still. Also the remaining battery capacity would be interesting to avoid having the laptop suddenly shut down. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306313
