Feature added by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (RGBsuse) Feature #309259, revision 1 Title: Include VLC Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (rgbsuse) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Considering the fact that VLC phonon back-end is finally taking shape (http://amarok.kde.org/blog/archives/1171-Rapid-Progress-in-KDE-Multimedia.h…) , I think is important to consider the inclusion of VLC client on openSUSE, even if "diminished" in the same way in which xine is actually shipped. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: VLC is one of the best multimedia players for Linux and there will be a back-end for phonon that use it. The addition of VLC will give the user more choice and a better multimedia experience. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309259

[openFATE 306323] Zimbra Mail Server Support for openSUSE 11.x
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Aug '11

Feature added by: Masim Sugianto (vavai) Feature #306323, revision 1, last change by Title: Zimbra Mail Server Support for openSUSE 11.x Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Masim Sugianto (vavai) Description: Zimbra Mail Server is a popular mail server & collaboration suite. Zimbra team has decided to leave openSUSE as unsupported platform due to minimal download for their product (which should be wrong because they said Zimbra for openSUSE only 41 times downloaded comparing thousand for Ubuntu or Fedora). openSUSE is one of the best choice and strong distro for server. It would be sad to see openSUSE fans migrate to another distro only for one reason : Zimbra could not be installed on openSUSE 11.x and there is no binary package for openSUSE 11.x The best way to make openSUSE as best Distro for server area are providing Zimbra package (community builds). There is a project called Zimbra Community builds (see related article) but the author seems to hold the project. If it's possible to be build on build service or with another technique (manual build ?), I will help as much as I can for testing and implementing the binary package and providing the documentation.

[New: openFATE 310201] Include a pastebin script in the distribution
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Feature added by: Pascal Bleser (pbleser) Feature #310201, revision 1 Title: Include a pastebin script in the distribution openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Pascal Bleser (pbleser) Description: It would help tremendously if we would include a pastebin script (e.g. pastebinit, which is in network:utilities and Contrib) in the stock distribution. Given that it is really small, we ought to include it in the core patterns (i.e. always install it). Point being that we very, very often ask people who come with questions on our IRC support channel (#opensuse on freenode) to pastebin output of commands or files, and having something like pastebinit would make that even easier. But that's pointless (making it easier) if we have to guide them through adding a repository and installing pastebinit first. Hence including it into the distribution. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310201

[New: openFATE 310404] Workrave

Feature added by: Edmund Highcock (edmundhighcock) Feature #310404, revision 1 Title: Workrave Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Edmund Highcock (edmundhighcock) Description: Hi, Workrave is a great program that helps prevent eyestrain and repetitive strain injury. It would be great if we could have it on openSUSE. http://sourceforge.net/projects/workrave/ I have tried installing it from source, but it keeps complaining about a missing dependency (libpanelapplet) which I have already installed. It would make a lot of people happy I'm sure if this is available as an openSUSE package. Cheers, Edmund -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310404

[New: openFATE 310996] Non-PAE versions of kernels
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Aug '11

Feature added by: Corey Mwamba (epicurious) Feature #310996, revision 1 Title: Non-PAE versions of kernels openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Corey Mwamba (epicurious) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In openSUSE 11.0, when kernels were packaged, the developers used a -pae flag to show that the kernel had PAE enabled, so if I wanted a realtime kernel I could choose between kernel-rt and kernel-rtpae. Now (from 11.2 up) it seems that all the kernels have PAE enabled, except kernel-default; and they are not marked as such, so kernel-rt STILL has PAE enabled. Although PAE is great for newer hardware, some chipsets are not compatible, which leads to a system not being able to boot. A user with an old computer would not be able to use the distribution. So this is really a plea to kernel developers and packagers to build non-PAE versions of the kernels; and to use the appropriate suffixes when naming them. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310996

[openFATE 307392] Disable logging as root by default
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Feature added by: Piotrek Juzwiak (BenderBendingRodriguez) Feature #307392, revision 1 Title: Disable logging as root by default openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) Description: As some people may not understand the linux operating system principles they often log in as root which in some cases may be disastrous. I propose to disable logging as root by default, the user can always obtain root privileges by invoking su or su -. If there would be some advanced users that really need to log in as root then they will know how to "unlock" that. If i'm correct it's just a matter of adjusting some scripts right? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307392

[New: openFATE 310889] YaST UI Two modes for the control center panels

Feature added by: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) Feature #310889, revision 1 Title: YaST UI Two modes for the control center panels openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: This is a transfer of the BNC entry 561135 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=561135) . I consider current UI as a usability bug, but since it well, works, I set it as enhancement. Please provide two modes: a) one pane only, section after section is displayed (it is like today but without left pane) b) two panes, in the right pane there is only one section presented (like it was in 11.1) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Currently we have odd mixture of those two -- the information is duplicated, space is wasted and for those who prefer clear distinction as in (b) the right pane is simply cluttered. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310889
