[New: openFATE 309914] Add Disk Labels to partitions during install

Feature added by: David Kroher (dkroher) Feature #309914, revision 1 Title: Add Disk Labels to partitions during install openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: David Kroher (dkroher) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Standard Opensuse install does not add disk labels to partitions during install. It should label when the partition is created for what it is root/home. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This can be very useful when plugging a hdd opensuse was installed on to another machine, eg, via USB. The notifier will display the disk labels without having to guess what is on each partition. Should be fairly simple to implement, and I only expect to be done when separate home partition is selected during install. More partitions than that, and I see it up to the user to define the labels. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309914

[New: openFATE 309357] Add the WHIRLPOOL login password option+PC Tracking

Feature added by: ryan smith (ryan1414) Feature #309357, revision 1 Title: Add the WHIRLPOOL login password option+PC Tracking openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: ryan smith (ryan1414) Description: My first feature request for OpenSuse 11.3 is to add the WHIRLPOOL encryption as a choice for the login password. More info can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHIRLPOOL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHIRLPOOL) Also the encryption options should have security ratings displayed like this: Whirlpool (Strongest) MD5 (Okay) etc etc My second feature request is to have a PC tracking feature so users can find their PC if it gets stolen. The iPhone has a feature like this so OpenSuse should too. It could work by users going into Control Center and clicking on "Computer Tracking" and then they type in their email address and choose when they want the ip address of the internet connection sent to them, like this: Find your lost or stolen computer: Your Email Address: example(a)example.com (mailto:example@example.com) Send Location : Never Once per Hour Once per Day If the computer has a GPS or wifi connected then those co-ordinates could be sent too. It should support IPv4 and IPv6 ip addresses. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309357

[New: openFATE 309358] Less confusing installer idea

Feature added by: ryan smith (ryan1414) Feature #309358, revision 1 Title: Less confusing installer idea openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: ryan smith (ryan1414) Description: I have a feature request for the OpenSuse 11.3 installer. I found 11.2 installer to be very confusing. What I found confusing was the partition part and where it talks about sda1, sda2, etc. Most beginners won't even know what these mean. My feature request is to make the installer less confusing by first displaying all the partitions and hard drives on a user's computer and users can select 1 or more partitions to install OpenSuse too like this: Tick the drive/s | partitions you want to install OpenSuse on: C: Label 20GB D: Label 50GB E: Label 1TB After users have chosen the drives/partitions only then will the partition edit/creation options be shown, and they'll only apply to the drives/partitions a user chose before. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309358

Feature added by: Ted Bullock (meiqur) Feature #307777, revision 1 Title: Package Phoronix Test Suite Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ted Bullock (meiqur) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Phoronix is a moderately popular linux related website which has compiled a series of tests into a suite they call the Phoronix Test Suite. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It would be interesting for users to be able to observe the changes in the performance of their systems from release to release. Also, it would useful to actually bring some numbers to discussions in bug reports rather than just vague statements like "computer is slow" -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307777

[New: openFATE 308963] Taskjuggler

31 Aug '11

Feature added by: Lars Koraeus (koraeus) Feature #308963, revision 1 Title: Taskjuggler openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Lars Koraeus (koraeus) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Taskjuggler is a very comprehensive and powerful project management system. This was removed in openSUSE 11.2 due to not having ported the graphical interface to KDE 4 as I understand. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Taskjuggler should be included in the 11.3 with or without KDE interface. We still run 11.1 in our company and have to do so until it is back again. Applications are more important than desktop features. Downloading and install from Taskjuggler website results in a lot of unresolved dependencies as by now. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308963

[New: openFATE 309662] GNOME 3 - Keep GNOME 2

Feature added by: Anomyous Anomyous (jcat123) Feature #309662, revision 1 Title: GNOME 3 - Keep GNOME 2 Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Anomyous Anomyous (jcat123) Description: When KDE4 came out, there were a lot of bugs and headaches. Many people used the more stable KDE3 option while others explored KDE4. Doing the same for GNOME in openSUSE 12.0\11.4 (whichever is after 11.3) would be wise. Move GNOME2 to another directory like /opt else like with KDE3 and have GNOME 3 in its directory or vice-versa. Since other distros didn't do the same with KDE3\4 they probably won't with GNOME 2\3 either, which would potentially give openSUSE an advantage and bring in more users. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309662
