Feature added by: ryan smith (ryan1414) Feature #309359, revision 1 Title: Software management idea:Missing drivers/firmware feature openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: ryan smith (ryan1414) Description: I have a feature request for OpenSUSE 11.3. In Yast's Software management, there should be a "missing drivers/firmware" section where once a user clicks on there it will scan a PC's hardware that doesn't have a driver/firmware, then it will display the missing drivers/firmware that users can download. This will save alot of time for beginners who don't even know what drivers/firmware they need for their wifi card, printer, etc. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309359

[New: openFATE 310830] Pinta project added
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Jared Meidal (kahu) Feature #310830, revision 1 Title: Pinta project added openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jared Meidal (kahu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The mono-based graphics editor ought to be integrated with next OpenSUSE release: http://pinta-project.com/ Ubuntu has dropped GIMP integration, which is not what I'm looking for, but simply support for an additional project that fits a beginning-intermediate graphic editor user base. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Pinta offers an easy and accessible interface for beginners and tools for intermediate graphic editing. The fact that this is an attractive and usable application contrasts with GIMP which has its place but can make novices feel lost and unsure of where to start. I suggest the OpenSUSE community get behind this project, develop rpm builds and add it into their 11.4 repositories! We need more attractive, sleek interfaces which are highly functional and provide the tools for our audience-- I think we're missing out if we skip this one. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310830

Feature added by: Markus K (KAMiKAZOW) Feature #310804, revision 1 Title: Include Unity as alternative GNOME GUI openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Markus K (kamikazow) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Canonical introduced "Unity" with Ubuntu 10.10 as netbook GUI and plans to extend it for desktop use. As Unity is FOSS (GPLv3), Unity can be made available as alternative GUI. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Users may want to try different user experiences. Offering Unity as option would be beneficial. Its dependencies are probably all already packaged anyway. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310804

[New: openFATE 309389] add /usr/local to KDEDIRS
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Feature added by: Stefan Majewsky (majewsky) Feature #309389, revision 1 Title: add /usr/local to KDEDIRS openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stefan Majewsky (majewsky) Description: By default, CMake-powered KDE apps are installed to /usr/local, but KDE won't pickup data files and configs from this directory tree because the KDEDIRS environment variable does not include /usr/local. This problem can currently be circumvented by setting the installation prefix to /usr (which is asking for trouble because of possible clashes with RPM) or by adding /usr/local to KDEDIRS manually, which is error-prone (esp. for new users). Therefore, I propose that /usr/local be included in the KDEDIRS environment variable by default (with a lower precedence than /usr, of course). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309389

Feature added by: nick skeen (ns89) Feature #310449, revision 1 Title: A simple way to turn off nouveau openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: nick skeen (ns89) Description: With OpenSUSE11.3 nouveau is used be default. In order to turn it off you must add nomodeset to the kernel parameters in /boot/grub/menu.lst and turn on no_kms_in_intrid in the sysconfig editor. So add a simple option on the sysconfig editor to do both? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310449
