Feature added by: Felix Miata (mrmazda) Feature #308151, revision 1 Title: https://features.opensuse.org/ needs user friendly CSS openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Felix Miata (mrmazda) Description: Details: 1-inadequate contrast many places. #000 on #FFF is only too contrasty for people with improperly adjusted displays. For those with correctly adjusted displays, and old displays with brightness and contrast already set to maximum anything less is easily too little. #363636 is marginal, #666666 much too light, for reading comfort with properly adjusted displays. 2-textarea and input fields reject keyboard cut & paste, and mouse operated cut & paste leaves unwanted extra newlines and unexpected focus location 3-fonts most places are too small. example: #main_content_wrapper and .medium-font should result in medium font, which is 1em, not 64% of medium, which is the usual physical result of font-size: .8em. 10pt, the size set on div.feature, is usually about 69% of the physical size of the most common browser default, not very friendly. Most knowlegeable web stylists know that sizing text in pt is a bad idea, as it and px totally disregard users' font size preferences.

Feature added by: Gerrit Mackor (itbgjm) Feature #308338, revision 1 Title: Media Portal Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Gerrit Mackor (itbgjm) Description: Hello, It would be nice to see a media portal add-on for openSUSE. Besides supporting pretty much every image, video and audio format, it would be handy if this application can also be a vidoe recorder, recoding directly to hard disk. The ability to play DVD, HD-DVD, BlueRay and possible future formats sould also be part of the standard package. Playing streaming video would also be a big win.

Feature added by: Phillip R Strauss (Pstrauss) Feature #309631, revision 1 Title: PHP5-MSSQL Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Phillip R Strauss (pstrauss) Description: It make sence to have "php5-mssql" available to match the existing factory-build version. This will ensure that anyone that want to test connectivity to MS-SQL can do so without having to go through the trouble of trying to build a package themself or waiting for months for a new update. Apache and PHP are frequently updated mainly to solve security issues but the existing PHP build still reflects 5.3.1 Other beta-distributions are including it and there for becomes more popular. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309631

Feature added by: Cornelius Schumacher (cschum) Feature #309503, revision 1 Title: Beautiful one-click-install Requested by: Cornelius Schumacher (cschum) Description: Garrett made a great <a href="http://ux.suse.de/~garrett/public/hackweek/oneclick/mockups/oneclick-mockup…">mockup</a> for a much more beautiful one click installer some time ago. It would be great to get this implemented. I think it could be done with a small Qt application which uses libzyppe or PackageKit or something like that as the backend to do the actual installation. I won't be able to spend much time on it, but Will said he might be interested. Maybe also one of the YaST guys could join, e.g. Michael Andres. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309503

[openFate 305356] 802.1x authentication on wired network using YaST via wpa_supplicant

Feature added by: Marius Tomaschewski <mt(a)novell.com> Feature #305356, revision 1, last change by Title: 802.1x authentication on wired network using YaST via wpa_supplicant openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Marius Tomaschewski <mt(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Some networks using 802.1x authentication on metallic Ethernet and I think it would be cool have a possibility, handle this connection type using YaST. The major problem to support this is that the wpa_supplicant is in /usr/sbin; it seems also to be difficult to move it to /sbin because of all the libs the wpa_supplicant is using. What would be required, is to extent the "supported_on_localfs" function to check this and start the interface in remotefs flow when 802.1x is enabled. That is, using remotefs on 802.1x authenticated interfaces would be not possible -- same as with NetworkManager. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305356

[openFate 305099] please have yast do a fsck before attempting to mount existing filesystems
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Feature added by: Arvin Schnell <aschnell(a)novell.com> Feature #305099, revision 1, last change by Title: please have yast do a fsck before attempting to mount existing filesystems openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Per Jessen <per.jessen(a)enidan.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I was doing a new install, but wanted to keep my /home filesystem (JFS). No problem, except that the filesystem wasn't clean and needed an fsck. As far as I can tell, yast didn't do this, so mounting of the /home filesystem failed, which caused the entirely installation process to abend and start over. Discussion: #1: Stefan Hundhammer <sh(a)novell.com> (2008-02-21 06:26:43) I'd really hate to have my 100+ GB ext3 partitions fscked. That takes forever. #2: Per Jessen <per.jessen(a)enidan.com> (2008-02-21 07:15:33) Even when they're clean? It's done on every bootup anyway. See /etc/init.d/boot.localfs #3: Jozef Uhliarik <juhliarik(a)novell.com> (2008-02-21 08:21:41) What is your opinion Thomas? #4: Thomas Fehr <fehr(a)novell.com> (2008-02-21 08:24:13) That would need an feature request, not a bug report. #6: Stephan Kulow <coolo(a)novell.com> (2008-02-21 12:04:27) I think it's not too uncommon that people reinstall their system _because_ the old one had a problem, so dirty file systems may not be too uncommon. #7: Thomas Fehr <fehr(a)novell.com> (2008-02-25 03:00:03) What the customer described happens on JFS, this is an unsupported filesystem exactly for the reason that it behaves quite fundamentally different to most other filesystems. Filesystems like ext3 or reiser simply do their log reply when they are dirty and all is fine. So if you want such things to be added, please specify it as a feature request. Since there needs to be an interactive user interface to the filesystem check program this is in no way a simple change. Or would you prefer for example do a rebuild of reiserfs internal tree as default without asking the user first? Problem is that the questions the filesystem check tools ask the user are quite special and of course totally different for different filesystem types. #8: Duncan Mac-Vicar <dmacvicar(a)novell.com> (2008-07-17 08:13:00) I happen to suffer from this bug too once. I think the bug is not that the installation cleans the disk, but at least say that is not clean instead of crashing (in my case it was an installation where yast thought the disk was mounted but it was not) #9: Arvin Schnell <aschnell(a)novell.com> (2008-07-17 08:22:23) No time for 11.1. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305099

[New: openFATE 309059] source repository cleanup mechanism
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #309059, revision 1 Title: source repository cleanup mechanism Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Description: Every ever uploaded source file is currently still part of source server. This hurts esp. when scripts upload daily new svn/git/.. snapshots as tar balls. This will more often happen when the source service mechanisms wil be more often used. We shall implement a mechanism to list and remove not anymore referenced files in any source revision files. This might be implemented in bs_admin or alike tool for the admin on the server. But it must be race free to allow working with currently running source servers. (maybe via giving the source server a signal to store .rev files on remove in an additional path. This interacts with the undelete features). We should also have a mechanism to shorten a revision log (unclear who and when should be allowed to do this). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309059

[New: openFATE 308967] Allow Oracle Instant Packages

Feature added by: Ciro Iriarte (ciriarte) Feature #308967, revision 1 Title: Allow Oracle Instant Packages Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ciro Iriarte (ciriarte) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Include Oracle Instant Client in openSUSE or at least, allow for creation and store in Build Service. This was attempted before but all the work was lost because the files were deleted from OBS. The InstantClient can be redistributed and it doesn't require any license to be used, the only issue is that it doesn't include source code. This can be handled like Sun's Java or Adobe Acrobat. Ref: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2007-08/msg00311.html (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2007-08/msg00311.html) http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-oracle/2007-Aug/0055.html (http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-oracle/2007-Aug/0055.html) Use Case: Creation of dependent packages like php-oci, Perl DBD::Oracle or TOra Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To make easier the user's life, also this feature would be very attractive, providing Oracle connectivity from CLI, GUI, PHP and Perl out of the box, or at least really fast after adding the needed repository. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308967

[New: openFATE 309036] Add checkbox to yast2-dns-server whether to use NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="bind" or not
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Feature added by: Marius Tomaschewski (mtomaschewski) Feature #309036, revision 1 Title: Add checkbox to yast2-dns-server whether to use NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="bind" or not openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Marius Tomaschewski (mtomaschewski) Description: Currently, yast2-dns-server always enables and makes use of the netconfig NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="bind" feature and writes the recursive forwarder name servers specified by the user to NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS (same nameserver list as in yast2-dns). This configures, that the locally running bind is used as forwarder for the system (glibc) and the bind is using the specified name servers as forwarders and allows netconfig (by default, but it depends on NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY) to update the forwarders list via netconfig with dynamic settings, e.g. from DHCP or PPP. This behavior is usually OK, and the user can disable the updates with the DHCP/PPP/... nameservers by NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY="STATIC" instead of "auto". But currently, yast2-dns-server does not allow to configure forwarders for e.g. non-recursive, (authorative only) name server serving some zones, without to act as forwarder/recursive name server for the local system (glibc, /etc/resolv.conf), that may use another forwarders (netconfig). To allow above configuraion, it would be required to add a checkbox to disable the current behavior and instead: * Set NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="resolver" * Write the forwardes list directly into the /etc/named.d/forwarders.conf * Call "netconfig update -m dns" (when it fails, ask the user whether to force and call "netconfig update -m dns -f") To enable current behavior again: * Reset/truncate the /etc/named.d/forwarders.conf ("cp /dev/null forwarders.conf") * Set NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="bind" * Write the forwardes list to NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS * Call "netconfig update -m dns" (when it fails, ask the user whether to force and call "netconfig update -m dns -f") Relations: - Bug 576759 - yast dns vs. dns-server is poorly designed (feature/id: 576759) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309036

[openFATE 307255] Less scary yast conflict dialogs

Feature added by: Martin Schlander (cb400f) Feature #307255, revision 1 Title: Less scary yast conflict dialogs openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Martin Schlander (cb400f) Description: The YaST2 sw_single dialog for conflicts, vendor change, architecture change etc. is very scary for many users. The dialog asks the user to select one of usually three offered solutions for each problem without giving much help. This is a cause for many complaints, and contributes to myths of RPM dependency hell still existing today. Zypper on the other hand, does things differently. Zypper will select an action for the user, then informs the user of the changes that will be made, and asks a Yes or No question whether the user wishes to proceed or not. I suggest to implement behaviour similar to zypper in the YaST dialog. However, the old functionality of letting the user select a solution manually for each individual problem should probably be kept, as a "hidden" expert/advanced option in the dialog. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307255
