[New: openFATE 309291] Add kstart packages
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Dec '10

Feature added by: Christoph Bartoschek (pontobart) Feature #309291, revision 1 Title: Add kstart packages openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Christoph Bartoschek (pontobart) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Please add the kstart package into opensuse. http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/kstart/ Use Case: kstart allows users to have long running jobs in a kerberized system. Normally long running jobs get into trouble as soon as their tickets expire. The tools in the kstart package allow users to start long running jobs and be sure that the jobs will always have access to the filesystem. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We do not want to extend the normal kerberos ticket lifetime for security reasons. However we have some jobs that run for weeks and that need access to the AFS filesystem. The tools from the kstart package provide the jobs with a valid ticket for the whole runtime. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309291

[New: openFATE 309472] pidgin: enable iChat/Bonjour/presence account by default
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Dec '10

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #309472, revision 1 Title: pidgin: enable iChat/Bonjour/presence account by default openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Description: Me filing this request probably is an indication that I'm losing my mind ... ;-) Anyways, pidgin supports the iChat/Bonjour/presence protocol to support zeroconf instant messaging in the local network. For that to work it listens on a tcp port and uses avahi for discovery of others. The Bonjour account isn't enabled by default though. Users have to manually add it which means barely anyone actually does that. Kind of defeats the 'zeroconf' idea. So what about automatically creating a Bonjour account on first start of pidgin? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309472

[New: openFATE 310023] have a "move to monitor" option on window list (gnome)

Feature added by: Thiago Sayao (sayao) Feature #310023, revision 1 Title: have a "move to monitor" option on window list (gnome) openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Thiago Sayao (sayao) Description: The panel window list has options to move the window between workspaces, but it does not have an option to move the window between monitors, when the user has two. Use case: Maria has two monitors, but the second one is off (because she only uses it occasionally). Yesterday, when she used her favorite app, she moved it to her second monitor, but today this monitor is off and she opened the app. How can she move the app to the primary monitor, if she can't see it on the second monitor to drag (because the second monitor is off)? It is filed upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619772 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310023

[New: openFATE 308690] Blueray support

Feature added by: Agustin Chavarria (dj_ubun_1) Feature #308690, revision 1 Title: Blueray support openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Agustin Chavarria (dj_ubun_1) Description: opensuse 11.3 would be great to have support for BlueRay discs, there is no linux client that support for this type of format, and would be a great way for users to have this support, so you can burn your movies in this format, see videos in BlueRay either VLC, Totem, Kaffeine, Bangarang, etc etc -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308690

[openFATE 307719] hplip-hpcups and assoicated packages
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Feature added by: Kirk Kimmel (omf) Feature #307719, revision 1 Title: hplip-hpcups and assoicated packages openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Kirk Kimmel (omf) Description: One thing I have never understood is this hplip-hpcups package. If I uninstall this package, hplip-hpijs is automatically marked for install. If I uncheck that package as well and Accept the changes via YaST2 Software Management these packages are removed. However the next time I start Software Management hplip-hpijs is checked to be installed again. The only way to stop this behavior is to mark both packages as Taboo. Shouldn't I be able to remove packages that are not needed without having to jump through hoops to make sure they do not get installed again. Currently running OpenSUSE 11.2 Milestone 6. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307719

[openFATE 308494] Obsolete suseRegister for openSUSE
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Feature changed by: Thomas Schmidt (digitaltomm) Feature #308494, revision 14 Title: Obsolete suseRegister for openSUSE - openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation by engineering manager + openSUSE-11.3: Done Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Product Manager: (Novell) Product Manager: (Novell) Project Manager: (Novell) Engineering Manager: (Novell) Engineering Manager: (Novell) Developer: (Novell) Technical Contact: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: AFAIK we do not need registration at all anymore for openSUSE, let's obsolete it's usage and tools. Discussion: #1: Michael Löffler (michl19) (2010-01-21 12:34:30) I made the feature public so Stefan Werden who's producing the retail box can check if he needs suseRegister or not. But at first glance I don't see use of suseRegister for openSUSE. #2: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2010-01-22 00:11:49) Why was it needed in the first place? #3: Michael Löffler (michl19) (2010-01-25 14:40:12) suseRegister is needed to register a product for maintenance and support at Novell. At openSUSE suseregister was used to identify customer of the retail box, so that they receive support. As the box meanwhile is done completely by a 3rd party suseRegister with openSUSE isn't needed for maintenance nor support. #9: J. Daniel Schmidt (jdsn) (2010-04-28 21:39:45) Feature is implemented. The former yast2-registration is splitted into two packages now. For both packages I created a submit request to Factory. The packages are: yast2-online-update-registration 2.19.0 (the replacement for yast2- registration for openSUSE) yast2-registration 2.19.2 (could be installed additionally, no overlapping) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308494

[New: openFATE 308521] Print duplex test page when duplex enabled
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Feature added by: Todd R (TheBlackCat) Feature #308521, revision 1 Title: Print duplex test page when duplex enabled openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Todd R (theblackcat) Description: It is easy to enable duplex printing in the YaST printer configuration module. However, the test page that is printed from the YaSt module is only one page long, making it useless for testing whether the duplex printing is actually working correctly. To test it you need to make a two-page document by hand and then print that. Further, cups has the somewhat obtuse "Tumble"/"NoTumble" option, and it is not really obvious what this does. So it would be nice if, when duplex is enabled, the "Print Test Page" button prints a two-page document so you can see if duplex is working and is oriented how you want it. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308521
