[New: openFATE 308280] wqy font integration

Feature added by: Mingxi Wu (Mingxi_Wu) Feature #308280, revision 1 Title: wqy font integration Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Mingxi Wu (mingxi_wu) Description: Current fonts used in openSuSE for chinese users uming is somehow out of date. Most other distros like Ubuntu now use wqy as a replacement, and give a use better look&feel. wqy font is already existing in BuildService now, so there is no techinal problem for the integration. So I recommend wqy as a default font for Chinese users in openSuSE 11.3 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308280

Feature added by: Ailin Nemui (ailin_nemui) Feature #306648, revision 1 Title: iiimf Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ailin Nemui (ailin_nemui) Description: I would love for someone to package the IIIMF - Internet/Intranet Input Method Framework, so I can use some input methods like Chinese Character Recognition "wtpen" in OpenSUSE. The program doesn't compile out of the box. IIIMF can be found at http://svn.openi18n.org:8081/repos/im-sdk/trunk/ -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306648

[New: openFATE 309203] make sure harddrives with 4KiB sectors are handled correctly

Feature added by: John Lombardo (tempusfugit) Feature #309203, revision 1 Title: make sure harddrives with 4KiB sectors are handled correctly openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: John Lombardo (tempusfugit) Description: More and more harddrives with 4KiB physical sectors are showing up in the wild. Partitioned incorrectly starting on the traditional sector 63 these drives exhibit very poor performance. The linux partition toolchain is being updated to handle these drives correctly, make sure to ship up-to-date versions of the tools in question and teach yast to make the best of it. A complete overview of the issue and best practices can be found in this wiki article by kernel hacker Tejun Heo: https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/ATA_4_KiB_sector_issues -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309203

[New: openFATE 310380] grub2 bootonce or bootnext command
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 09 May '12

09 May '12

Feature added by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Feature #310380, revision 1 Title: grub2 bootonce or bootnext command openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Description:  With the possibility of Grub2 being implemented soon as a default boot manager, it would be useful to add to the Grub2 packaging a small script that fully emulates the older grubonce that is provided with openSUSE-11.3 and earlier. The philosophy is from run level 3, or from a desktop that does not support the capability to selectively reboot ONCE (and only ONCE) into another boot partition, one can run a command that allows this one time reboot functionality. This was achieved with the "grubonce" command on openSUSE-11.3 (and earlier) and other distributions (for the older grub version) used perl scripts such as bootnext (on Fedora: http://www.dcheng.members.sonic.net/friends/jspaar/pub/bootnext/ ). There is an example here on openSUSE forums as to the utility of the grubonce command and how it can be applied: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/information-new-users/unreviewed-how-faq… The grub2-reboot command is lacking (in comparison to grubonce) in that it appears it can not be used to generate the re-boot selection menu. Hence I propose a small script/application be provided with openSUSE-11.4 (or 12.0) that functions similar to the scripts proposed in http://forums.opensuse.org/english/information-new-users/unreviewed-how-faq… or as a minium functions with the full capability of the "grubonce" (which grub2-reboot lacks). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310380

[openFATE 306928] Better integration of YaST webpin client into openSUSE
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 09 May '12

09 May '12

Feature added by: Katarina Machalkova (kmachalkova) Feature #306928, revision 1 Title: Better integration of YaST webpin client into openSUSE Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Katarina Machalkova (kmachalkova) Description: <p><a href="http://hedgehogpainter.livejournal.com/#asset-hedgehogpainter-4686">YaST webpin client</a> is done and usable since quite some time already, yet its integration into platform is far from being smooth. openSUSE users have very few chances to learn about it in order to use it. This feature consists of two parts:<ul> <li> Webpin search client will be accessible and launchable from menu entry, added to Qt/Gtk/Ncurses package selectors </li><li> New package yast2-packager-webpin will be splitted off yast2-packager, containing webpin module, client + additional .desktop file </li></ul>The purpose of the latter is not to clutter YaST control centre with too many icons, installed along with yast2-packager (which is in default installation). This way, user will get extra icon only if yast2-packager-webpin</p> -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306928

[openFATE 306624] voting mechanism for membership approval on users.o.o
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 08 May '12

Feature added by: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) Feature #306624, revision 1 Title: voting mechanism for membership approval on users.o.o Hackweek IV: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) Description: To be better able to vote on membership approvals the openSUSE board is looking for some ruby hacker willing to implement a voting mechanism in users.opensuse.org. users.o.o is a ruby on rails application. Pepple that want to become openSUSE members fill out an application form in users.o.o. This is then evaluated by the openSUSE board. Each application is voted upon. What is missing in users.o.o is the possiblity to vote on those applications. This would need a couple of things: Each application needs a state attribute with the following content: * New * To be Accepted * Accepted * To be Rejected * Rejected Also the respective listings in the interface are needed. And for each board member an voting field. (+1,0,-1) coupled with a free text field. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306624

I propose back-in-time http://backintime.le-web.org/ it has both kde4 and gnome interfaces and is relatively simple to use. regards, Alin -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307436

[New: openFATE 309311] GUI for PAM
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 May '12

04 May '12

Feature added by: The Liberator (L1B3RAT0R) Feature #309311, revision 1 Title: GUI for PAM openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: The Liberator (l1b3rat0r) Description: I would like to see some kind of YAST-like tool for implementing PAM features for all types of logins. As it is now you can attempt unlimited logins via the terminal or a locked KDE screen. If there was a GUI for PAM that allowed the user to set maximum password tries, time-frames that login is allowed, and how long a session can last, then our computers would be much more secure. I have an encrypted hard drive, but once the computer is booted up and the hard drive is decrypted, I have no way of stopping a brute force attack. For the average user, PAM is too complicated to use all its features without reading for hours. This seems like the perfect feature to add to YAST. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309311

[New: openFATE 309577] auto remove unused dependencies using YaST and zypper
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Apr '12

Feature added by: double chou (MargueriteSu) Feature #309577, revision 1 Title: auto remove unused dependencies using YaST and zypper openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: double chou (margueritesu) Description: in Debian, you can apt-get --autoremove if you uninstall a package. in Fedora, you can also find such feature. but YaST, nope, I can't. YaST only automatically install dependencies needed by packages you wanna install, but It does not automatically remove them. So after you tried lots of software to find your need. Your system will be huge and full of useless dependencies. That might cause disk over-usage or security problems. 'Coz users only do system update in the way "zypper dup" instead of " zypper update", so obselete packages that have bugs remain. Nowadays I have to write down dependencies mannually everytime I install softwares. That's boring. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309577

[openFATE 305881] Add a simple way to access the rpmlint report
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 Apr '12

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #305881, revision 1, last change by Title: Add a simple way to access the rpmlint report Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Description: Right now, to see the rpmlint report of a build, you have to get the complete build log, which can be slow (because it's big). Having a faster way to read the rpmlint report could result in some tools to highlight what should be fixed, and therefore in better packages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305881
