[openFATE 305914] PAC support for 'system wide proxy configuration'
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Dec '15

05 Dec '15

Feature added by: Dominique Leuenberger (dimstar) Feature #305914, revision 1, last change by Title: PAC support for 'system wide proxy configuration' openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dominique Leuenberger (dimstar) Description: The distribution now contains libproxy and we should try to make as much use of it as possible. A big advantage is the ability to parse PAC (Proxy AutoConfiguration) without the need for this in every application. Simply linking against libproxy with it's very simple API (3 API calls, 2 without parameters) is enugh to have the advantage of no longer needing to 'guess' what proxy to use. What is now: - You can set in yast / proxy a general proxy to be used (http://foo.proxy.com:1234) This is bascially put into http_proxy envvar. In gnome you can set user proxy configuration as: - Use System Proxy (as configured in yast) - Use proxy configuration (static, same options as in yast) - Use automatic proxy configuration script Yast lacks the option to specify a PAC script on system wide level. This is only possible in the user sessions configuration. This made sense as most applications don't know how to handle pac files anyway. But with libroxy, this hurdle can be taken away from every single application and can thus be offered. I'm glad to elaborate on questions; I'm sure there are some :-) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305914

[openFate 305356] 802.1x authentication on wired network using YaST via wpa_supplicant
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Apr '15

22 Apr '15

Feature added by: Marius Tomaschewski <mt(a)novell.com> Feature #305356, revision 1, last change by Title: 802.1x authentication on wired network using YaST via wpa_supplicant openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Marius Tomaschewski <mt(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Some networks using 802.1x authentication on metallic Ethernet and I think it would be cool have a possibility, handle this connection type using YaST. The major problem to support this is that the wpa_supplicant is in /usr/sbin; it seems also to be difficult to move it to /sbin because of all the libs the wpa_supplicant is using. What would be required, is to extent the "supported_on_localfs" function to check this and start the interface in remotefs flow when 802.1x is enabled. That is, using remotefs on 802.1x authenticated interfaces would be not possible -- same as with NetworkManager. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305356

[openFate 305099] please have yast do a fsck before attempting to mount existing filesystems
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Feature added by: Arvin Schnell <aschnell(a)novell.com> Feature #305099, revision 1, last change by Title: please have yast do a fsck before attempting to mount existing filesystems openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Per Jessen <per.jessen(a)enidan.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I was doing a new install, but wanted to keep my /home filesystem (JFS). No problem, except that the filesystem wasn't clean and needed an fsck. As far as I can tell, yast didn't do this, so mounting of the /home filesystem failed, which caused the entirely installation process to abend and start over. Discussion: #1: Stefan Hundhammer <sh(a)novell.com> (2008-02-21 06:26:43) I'd really hate to have my 100+ GB ext3 partitions fscked. That takes forever. #2: Per Jessen <per.jessen(a)enidan.com> (2008-02-21 07:15:33) Even when they're clean? It's done on every bootup anyway. See /etc/init.d/boot.localfs #3: Jozef Uhliarik <juhliarik(a)novell.com> (2008-02-21 08:21:41) What is your opinion Thomas? #4: Thomas Fehr <fehr(a)novell.com> (2008-02-21 08:24:13) That would need an feature request, not a bug report. #6: Stephan Kulow <coolo(a)novell.com> (2008-02-21 12:04:27) I think it's not too uncommon that people reinstall their system _because_ the old one had a problem, so dirty file systems may not be too uncommon. #7: Thomas Fehr <fehr(a)novell.com> (2008-02-25 03:00:03) What the customer described happens on JFS, this is an unsupported filesystem exactly for the reason that it behaves quite fundamentally different to most other filesystems. Filesystems like ext3 or reiser simply do their log reply when they are dirty and all is fine. So if you want such things to be added, please specify it as a feature request. Since there needs to be an interactive user interface to the filesystem check program this is in no way a simple change. Or would you prefer for example do a rebuild of reiserfs internal tree as default without asking the user first? Problem is that the questions the filesystem check tools ask the user are quite special and of course totally different for different filesystem types. #8: Duncan Mac-Vicar <dmacvicar(a)novell.com> (2008-07-17 08:13:00) I happen to suffer from this bug too once. I think the bug is not that the installation cleans the disk, but at least say that is not clean instead of crashing (in my case it was an installation where yast thought the disk was mounted but it was not) #9: Arvin Schnell <aschnell(a)novell.com> (2008-07-17 08:22:23) No time for 11.1. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305099
