Feature added by: Denny Beyer (lumnis) Feature #310233, revision 1 Title: skip repo update when installing packages with zypper openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Denny Beyer (lumnis) Description: When installing a new package with zypper etc. everytime you run zypper, repos get updated and the user has to wait. Because a general user needs several extra repos, this waiting time always seems to be too long. Why not running 'zypper ref' as a low priority task after startup/time intervall has passed and give the used immidiate access to install a software package? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310233

[New: openFATE 310176] Switch to sssd for LDAP/Kerberos authentication
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Jul '15

Feature added by: Ralf Haferkamp (rhafer) Feature #310176, revision 1 Title: Switch to sssd for LDAP/Kerberos authentication openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Ralf Haferkamp (rhafer) Description: Because of the various issues we face with nss_ldap/pam_ldap (see e.g. bug#477061, bug#157078 and others) and because of the added value sssd gives us (e.g. offline support, integrated kerberos support). We should change yast2-ldap-client to configure sssd instead of nss_ldap/pam_ldap/pam_kerberos. sssd packages are already available for 11.3. We still need to add support for it in pam-config. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310176

[New: openFATE 309188] Don't require keytab file for kerberos authentication
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 May '15

26 May '15

Feature added by: Todd R (TheBlackCat) Feature #309188, revision 1 Title: Don't require keytab file for kerberos authentication openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Todd R (theblackcat) Description: In openSUSE, when using kerberos it requires that a keytab file be available for things like kerberized nfs. However, not all kerberos servers are set up to provide keytabs. Someone using openSUSE cannot access these resources using kerberos at all, as far as I have been able to find out. It would be nice if openSUSE removed this requirement, or at least made it user-configurable whether to require it or not. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309188

[New: openFATE 310710] Integrate the functionality of "fusermount -u" into umount
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 May '15

18 May '15

Feature added by: Reinhard Max (rmax) Feature #310710, revision 1 Title: Integrate the functionality of "fusermount -u" into umount openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Reinhard Max (rmax) Description: It is confusing that FUSE mount points need a different command to unmount them than everything else. Historically FUSE had to bring its own command, because traditional umount refuses umounting of mounts that are not in /etc/fstab for non-privileged users. But now that FUSE has become mainstream, I think it is time to integrate it better and get rid of the need for "fusermount -u". So my proposal is to either add the implementation of the "fusermount -u" functionality to mount, or let it execute "fusermount -u" as a subprocess for FUSE mountpoints. As root can already use umount for FUSE mount points, it probably doesn't need more than skipping the /etc/fstab test when umount is called on a FUSE mountpoint that is owned by the calling user. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310710

[New: openFATE 309320] integrate mailinglist subscription with opensuse account

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #309320, revision 1 Title: integrate mailinglist subscription with opensuse account Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Description: [I know Buildservice as product is wrong but there's no opensuse.org] With my novell/opensuse account I can use the build service, wiki, lizards, fate, hermes etc all with one login. In order to subscribe to mailinglists I have to confirm my mail address for each list individually though. It would be more user friendly to optionally allow to log into lists.opensuse.org with my account (reusing the cookie for the other services) and subscribe to lists via mouse click, without extra email verification. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309320

[New: openFATE 310872] We fail at...quality control
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 May '15

Feature added by: Verner Kjærsgaard (vernerliga) Feature #310872, revision 1 Title: We fail at...quality control openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Verner Kjærsgaard (vernerliga) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Dear Sirs, - I've been with SuSE since v7 or so. I make my living from Novell/openSuSE products. - it distrubs me everytime I sense a slight lack of quality control in the product(s). I use SLES10/11 for professional deployments - if I can... Many times SLES10/11 will lack libraries that are needed for running various common web-applications. Thus giving me no choice but to leave SLES(n) and go for a stripped down openSuSE installation that works... On the openSuSE side, it disturbs me that (using the KDE desktop) the Knetworkmanager or whatever it's calles these days is still not stable or plain just functioning. If one thows Ubunto at just about any laptop, the wireless just works. In openSuSE, not so. Or is not stable or is not quite polished. This should be corrected. In general I'm left with a feeling that in stead of more features one should concentrate on getting the present ones to work properly :-) Media is still a problem. How come that Ubuntu will show live-tv, openSuSE will not. Not so disturbing to me, I can fix it. But when I'm plugging openSUSE to friends...it becomes an issue. The YaST interface to CUPS isn't quite there yet although much improved over the last couple of versions :-) I wish I could contribute, alas, my programming skills are not goog enough. Sorry. Anyhow, I'm still with Novell/SUSE and I'm planning to stay. Best regards, Verner Kjærsgaard Denmark Novell Certified Linux Professional. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310872

[New: openFATE 310661] better facility to search for bugs
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 May '15

18 May '15

Feature added by: Elmar Stellnberger (estellnb) Feature #310661, revision 1 Title: better facility to search for bugs openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Elmar Stellnberger (estellnb) Description: openSUSE has really no bad bug support. However non-Suse users can never enfruit the benefits of openSUSE`s qa because there is no good way to search for bugs. This is even a problem for anyone who wants to check whether a problem is already reported before reporting it himself. I believe openSUSE could gain a lot of users by a better bug search. Bug reports do often contain solutions to common problems. If bugs are findable they will become linked and will thus be found more often by Google instead of the standard Ubuntu-threads talking around the hot pap. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310661

[New: openFATE 310981] openSUSE Software Portal
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 May '15

18 May '15

Feature added by: Denny Beyer (lumnis) Feature #310981, revision 1 Title: openSUSE Software Portal openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Denny Beyer (lumnis) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Have you every heard or seen the openSUSE software portal? Why is it so well hidden on the website? This should be well visible and accessible through a much more prominent location, e.g. the iso software download page. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Users, especially new linux/oss software users need a good starting point to search for software that might help them. The software portal does that, it's a shame it's not more accessible. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310981
