[openFATE 305845] YaST - keyword search for modules
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Feature added by: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) Feature #305845, revision 1, last change by Title: YaST - keyword search for modules openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) Description: System Preferences in Mac OS X (YaST equivalent from Apple :)) has a group of keywords associated with each module. It would be nice if YaST had the same. Example: * module: Hardware -> Graphics Card and Monitor * keywords: graphics, monitor, screen, resolution, ... When user wants to change the resolution, he/she starts YaST, type "resolution" in search box and "Graphics Card and Monitor" module will show up. This is not possible now, because YaST only searches in descriptions of modules. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305845

Feature added by: Michael Löffler (michl19) Feature #306305, revision 1, last change by Title: iFolder for openSUSE 11.2 openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michael Löffler (michl19) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Getting iFolder in a state where we first can get it into Factory and then add it to openSUSE 11.2. iFolder is a simple and secure storage solution that increases productivity by enabling to back up, access and manage personal files-from anywhere, at any time. Once installed, it simply saves files locally and iFolder automatically updates the files on a network server and delivers them to a different machines in usage. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Different people at different locations can work jointly on the same file. They always can find on the server the most current version of the file as iFolder keeps it up to date. iFolder allows more efficient collaboration -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306305

[openFate 305631] vlan support in initrd
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Feature added by: Bernhard Walle <bwalle(a)novell.com> Feature #305631, revision 1, last change by Title: vlan support in initrd openSUSE-11.2: New Requested by: Bernhard Walle (bwalle) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Quoting from Bugzilla 415389 (because external reporters are not able to create a FATE entry): It would be very useful to be able to create vlan network interfaces in initrd via kernel command line parameters. This makes network support in initrd more complete. In our case we need vlan support because all servers have two physical network interfaces. eth0 is connected to the default vlan, which is internet in our case. eth1 is a trunk interface connected to several internal vlans. We need the vlans to seperate traffic from different virtual machines. Only one vlan supports nfs, other vlans are more restricted or private to a customer owning a virtual machine. Because a xen dom0 server doesn't need much diskspace, we boot them from the network. This requires the initrd to login to the nfs server, which requires vlan support. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I don't see any business case here. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305631

[openFate 305594] Logging support for osc meta and others ...
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 14 Sep '09

Feature added by: Pavol Rusnak <prusnak(a)novell.com> Feature #305594, revision 1, last change by Title: Logging support for osc meta and others ... Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pavol Rusnak <prusnak(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: * The logging support missing for osc meta and other potentially dangerous ctions. When anyone changes a project conf for example, there's no information who changed what. So the current commit logs support should be extended to all other changes in package/project. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305594

[openFATE 306307] Include Gwibber in GNOME 11.2
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Feature added by: Kevin Dupuy (kdupuy9) Feature #306307, revision 1, last change by Title: Include Gwibber in GNOME 11.2 openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Kevin Dupuy (kdupuy9) Description: With the explosion in use of microblogging in everything from Facebook to Twitter, more and more people are looking for a way to view all their friends and followers messages, as well as get their messages out quickly. I propose openSUSE includes Gwibber in the default install of openSUSE GNOME. Gwibber is a microblogging client written in GTK and supports Twitter, Facebook, Jaiku, Laconi.ca servers, Flickr, and more.

[openFate 305731] Remove scrollkeeper
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #305731, revision 1, last change by Title: Remove scrollkeeper openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We should remove scrollkeeper from the distribution and only use a rarian-based solution. This implies working upstream on migrating the modules. Also, we could make packages install their help in /usr/share/datatir/gnome-panel/help (eg), instead of /usr/share/gnome/help which is difficult to handle from a package ownership point of view. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305731

[openFate 305345] Replace cups-autoconfig with hal-cups-utils
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Feature added by: Vincent Untz <vuntz(a)novell.com> Feature #305345, revision 1, last change by Title: Replace cups-autoconfig with hal-cups-utils openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz <vuntz(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In openSUSE, we use cups-autoconfig to automatically configure new printers detected by HAL. However, no other distro uses this, and hal-cups-utils seems to be the long-term solution. Switching to hal-cups-utils means easier maintenance for us. hal-cups-utils also ships the hal backend for cups that we have in cups-backends. I've packaged a new cups-backends package (without the hal backend) and a hal-cups-utils package (with the hal backend, patched like what we had in cups-backends) in home:vuntz:factory-playground. So it's all ready for testing. Note: yast2-printer makes it possible to edit /etc/cups-autoconfig.conf. We might want to keep the configuration option of /etc/cups-autoconfig.conf in hal-cups-utils. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305345

[openFATE 306168] Wake the PC to run the task if it has been suspended.
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Feature added by: Stephan Kulow (coolo) Feature #306168, revision 1, last change by Title: Wake the PC to run the task if it has been suspended. openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Scott Couston (zczc2311) Description: Increasingly we offer tasks to be run that are configured in Yast - Online Update- Apparmour reports, notifications from events etc etc. What we don't offer it an open to wake the PC from suspend to run the task if the user so desires it - I think its is not of much value to schedule any task or to set any type of notification if the user has no option to wake the PC from suspend Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set online update to run in 30 minutes time. 2. Suspend the PC. 3. We have lost our instructions to initiate any schedule by NOT offering a way or option to wake a PC from sleep. Actual Results: If the PC suspends itself is is told to suspend any scheduled task set during that period will never run. Expected Results: This is a problem as we are setting a task but don't provide a way for the task we have set to run if the PC is suspended at the time - This could easily mean that any scheduled task may never run if it is scheduled inside say.......23:00 - 04:00 Hours Dont like my luck with default priority ;-) But I think I have a valid point to leave default Severity and aim for 11.2 implementation. Relations: - In all Yast Application that we enable to run at a specific time we currently have no way to wake the PC to run the task if it has been suspended.

Feature added by: Stephan Binner <stbinner(a)novell.com> Feature #305308, revision 1, last change by Title: Installation into Windows Partition (Wubi-like) openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stephan Binner <stbinner(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Wubi allows the installation of Ubuntu on a MS Windows System without changing the partition setup. Users can test-drive a Linux system without major performance loss like when using a Live-CD, have data persistence beyond reboot and an easy way to deinstall like any other application after trial. References: http://wubi-installer.org , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(Ubuntu) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Having a Wubi-alike installer for openSUSE would be a great way to promote openSUSE to Windows users. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305308
