Feature added by: Marcel Müller (open_assistant) Feature #306230, revision 1, last change by Title: Auto-Reset the screen settings openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Marcel Müller (open_assistant) Description: The "Bildschirmeinstellungen"(~screen settings, don't know the name in the english version, the little Monitor in the Gnome panel, where you can set the screen solution and the frequenzy) should reset the solution after 30 or 15 seconds automatically, if you don't press save. Like in Windows or SaX2. It would avoid much trouble if you choose the wrong settings. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306230

[openFATE 305803] improve command_not_found_helper speed
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Feature added by: Susanne Oberhauser (froh) Feature #305803, revision 1, last change by Title: improve command_not_found_helper speed openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Susanne Oberhauser (froh) Description: In the discussion on opensuse-factory [opensuse-factory] issues with command-not-found speed (Message-ID: <20081210084607.GA2988@taygeta>), I've suggested a different approach: I'd very much prefer bash to tell me without any delay: Command not found. If this is not a typo, type "man make-it-work" for help. And then the make-it-work man page will tell you right away to run "make-it-work commandname' to locate and install the package providing fancytool. with a little practice you will go one back in history, prefix your last command with 'make-it-work ' and have fun... imho the current solution is solving a problem that doesn't really exist (pretend all software is preinstalled) and creates a new one (lag). Michal Vyskocil pointed out that such magic should at least look in /sbin and /usr/sbin and give a usefull message if the command is found there: command found in /sbin or /usr/sbin. Maybe retry as root, e.g. with 'sudo $command' -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305803

[openFate 305658] Official USB stick images
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 14 Aug '09

Feature added by: Stephan Binner <stbinner(a)novell.com> Feature #305658, revision 1, last change by Title: Official USB stick images openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stephan Binner (beineri) Description: It would like to see openSUSE releases with official USB images (one with KDE, one with GNOME) next to the Live-CDs. As alternative the Live-CD images could be mastered in a way that they also can boot from USB (afaik they are not able atm) together with a small app/script to install them to USB - other distributions offer that. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305658

[openFate 305318] Move gconf schemas to /usr
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Feature added by: Vincent Untz <vuntz(a)novell.com> Feature #305318, revision 1, last change by Title: Move gconf schemas to /usr openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Vincent Untz <vuntz(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We store gconf schemas in /etc/gconf. However, the schemas are not configuration files, but simply data. Therefore, we should move the schemas to /usr. Simply changing a line in /etc/gconf/2/path should make gconf work with the new location. Note that Debian already implements this. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305318

[openFate 305149] [Feature-request] Yast Expert Partitioner: should not require mounting "/" root partition
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

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

It should be ported to Qt4. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305550

[openFATE 306778] Better SElinux support
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 13 Aug '09

13 Aug '09

Feature added by: Luc de Louw (delouw) Feature #306778, revision 1 Title: Better SElinux support openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Luc de Louw (delouw) Description: It would be a pleasure to better SElinux support in OpenSUSE. Today most of the important tools are provided, but AFAIK not default profiles. Since SElinux is quite complicated and not that easy to handle, delivering some default profiles for the most important daemons would be a good starting point. I think SElinux would becomce more and more important since more and more distros are switching to SElinux (such as Ubuntu and Debian).SElinux is in the vanilla kernel since quite some time and is mature enough. As of today the only distributions will a good SElinux support are Fedora, CentOS and RHEL. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306778

[openFATE 306435] Mounting remote directories during boot using sshfs
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Feature added by: Carlos Robinson (robin_listas) Feature #306435, revision 1, last change by Title: Mounting remote directories during boot using sshfs openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Carlos Robinson (robin_listas) Description: It should be interesting mount remote directories using sshfs during boot process. We can do it now with samba or nfs, but not sshfs. Sshfs has encription and it's fast enough. Actually we can use it by command-line from userspace only. Adding the possibility to include this in fstab file (and a possible module for yast) would be cool.

[openFATE 306991] SUSE Style for KDE Desktop
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Feature added by: Eduardo Sotomayor (Easgs) Feature #306991, revision 1 Title: SUSE Style for KDE Desktop openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Eduardo Sotomayor (easgs) Description: In KDE 3.5 there was the option to set up the menu with the option "change menu to SUSE style" but it is not available in KDE 4.2.95, are there plans to implement it or it will not be available anymore?, I think that the SUSE style is better than the KDE style. I think this feature is a must in openSUSE because a lot of people including me use this style in their desktop and are use to it, it is more practical than the default KDE Classic or Kickoff styles. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306991
