[openFate 305472] Support transaction triggers for rpms
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Feature added by: Vincent Untz <vuntz(a)novell.com> Feature #305472, revision 1, last change by Title: Support transaction triggers for rpms openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz <vuntz(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It's important to be able to run once after all packages have been installed a command (instead of running the command after each of x packages getting installed, which would make the process much slower). That's basically a post-transaction trigger. For background, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=365649 and especially comment #14 from Stanislav. (note that this is work that should be done in upstream rpm, not as patches) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305472

[New: openFATE 308705] Show Grub boot menu when resuming from hibernate (suspend to disk)
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 10 Jan '13

Feature added by: Rafael Belmonte (EagleScreen) Feature #308705, revision 1 Title: Show Grub boot menu when resuming from hibernate (suspend to disk) openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rafael Belmonte (eaglescreen) Description: When I resume my computer after hibernate (suspend to disk) with OpenSuse, Grub boot menu is not displayed, so I am forced to boot into OpenSuse in the case of a dual boot system. Other GNU/Linux distributions like Debian/Ubuntu display the Grub boot menu when you power on the computer after hibernate with GNU/Linux, and booting into MS Windows (or other) is offered. The next time you boot again into GNU/Linux it resumes the last hibernated session. I think OpenSuse should follow this line too. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308705

[New: openFATE 308497] Update to GRUB v2
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

Feature added by: Jeff Mahoney (jeff_mahoney) Feature #308497, revision 1 Title: Update to GRUB v2 openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jeff Mahoney (jeff_mahoney) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Every single bug or feature that anyone has developed for GRUB 0.97 has been rejected by the upstream project in favor of using GRUB 2. There has been resisitence in the distribution community to switching boot loaders, but this stalemate isn't going to go away. The code itself isn't well written or well maintained. Adding a new feature involves jumping through a lot of hoops that may or may not work even if you manage to work around all the runtime limitations. For example, a fs implementation has a static buffer it can use for memory management. It's only 32k. For complex file systems, or even a simple journaled file system, we run into problems (like the reiserfs taking forever to load bug) because we don't have enough memory to do block mapping for the journal so it needs to scan it for every metadata read. (Yeah, really.) GRUB v2 has a cleaner design, is modular, and it has support for multiple architectures including i386, x86-64, and powerpc. Support for ia64 is said to be forthcoming. EFI support is already there. More importantly, it supports far more file systems and has native MD RAID and LVM support. Adding support for a new file system is much easier, cleaner, and has fewer limitations than with GRUB 0.97. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: * Supportability - upstream bug fixes and development community * Features - better fs support, native RAID and LVM support -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308497

[New: openFATE 308955] Thunderbird KDE integration
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

Feature added by: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) Feature #308955, revision 1 Title: Thunderbird KDE integration openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Would be great if the same sort of KDE integration could be applied to Thunderbird as with Firefox and OpenOffice. The interface in general with TB3 on openSUSE 11.2 actually looks fine using the default theme, but KDE file and helper application dialogs would be a big improvement. Even better if this could be included with the 4.3.5 online update or the possible openSUSE 11.2 KDE4.4 respin that I've heard rumours of. Use Case: Take my parents, using a KDE setup but with Firefox and Thunderbird as the two main non-KDE apps installed, for whom the existing GTK file dialogs completely throw them every time they need to pick a file attachment, or to open/save attachments sent to them. It is the only place on their system where they encounter non-KDE dialogs and they are confused. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I see Thunderbird and GIMP as the two other popular, key apps having a large cross-desktop userbase that could do with better KDE integration. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308955

It would be great in the part of "Hardware" 'cause is pretty dificult to set a webcam. I'm currently trying to set an Encore webcam and I'm tired to try a fail. Thanks a lot.
