Feature added by: Mingxi Wu (Mingxi_Wu) Feature #308280, revision 1 Title: wqy font integration Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Mingxi Wu (mingxi_wu) Description: Current fonts used in openSuSE for chinese users uming is somehow out of date. Most other distros like Ubuntu now use wqy as a replacement, and give a use better look&feel. wqy font is already existing in BuildService now, so there is no techinal problem for the integration. So I recommend wqy as a default font for Chinese users in openSuSE 11.3 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308280

Feature added by: John Lombardo (tempusfugit) Feature #309203, revision 1 Title: make sure harddrives with 4KiB sectors are handled correctly openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: John Lombardo (tempusfugit) Description: More and more harddrives with 4KiB physical sectors are showing up in the wild. Partitioned incorrectly starting on the traditional sector 63 these drives exhibit very poor performance. The linux partition toolchain is being updated to handle these drives correctly, make sure to ship up-to-date versions of the tools in question and teach yast to make the best of it. A complete overview of the issue and best practices can be found in this wiki article by kernel hacker Tejun Heo: https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/ATA_4_KiB_sector_issues -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309203

[openFATE 306928] Better integration of YaST webpin client into openSUSE

Feature added by: Katarina Machalkova (kmachalkova) Feature #306928, revision 1 Title: Better integration of YaST webpin client into openSUSE Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Katarina Machalkova (kmachalkova) Description: <p><a href="http://hedgehogpainter.livejournal.com/#asset-hedgehogpainter-4686">YaST webpin client</a> is done and usable since quite some time already, yet its integration into platform is far from being smooth. openSUSE users have very few chances to learn about it in order to use it. This feature consists of two parts:<ul> <li> Webpin search client will be accessible and launchable from menu entry, added to Qt/Gtk/Ncurses package selectors </li><li> New package yast2-packager-webpin will be splitted off yast2-packager, containing webpin module, client + additional .desktop file </li></ul>The purpose of the latter is not to clutter YaST control centre with too many icons, installed along with yast2-packager (which is in default installation). This way, user will get extra icon only if yast2-packager-webpin</p> -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306928

Feature added by: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) Feature #306624, revision 1 Title: voting mechanism for membership approval on users.o.o Hackweek IV: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) Description: To be better able to vote on membership approvals the openSUSE board is looking for some ruby hacker willing to implement a voting mechanism in users.opensuse.org. users.o.o is a ruby on rails application. Pepple that want to become openSUSE members fill out an application form in users.o.o. This is then evaluated by the openSUSE board. Each application is voted upon. What is missing in users.o.o is the possiblity to vote on those applications. This would need a couple of things: Each application needs a state attribute with the following content: * New * To be Accepted * Accepted * To be Rejected * Rejected Also the respective listings in the interface are needed. And for each board member an voting field. (+1,0,-1) coupled with a free text field. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306624

[New: openFATE 309311] GUI for PAM
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 May '12

Feature added by: The Liberator (L1B3RAT0R) Feature #309311, revision 1 Title: GUI for PAM openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: The Liberator (l1b3rat0r) Description: I would like to see some kind of YAST-like tool for implementing PAM features for all types of logins. As it is now you can attempt unlimited logins via the terminal or a locked KDE screen. If there was a GUI for PAM that allowed the user to set maximum password tries, time-frames that login is allowed, and how long a session can last, then our computers would be much more secure. I have an encrypted hard drive, but once the computer is booted up and the hard drive is decrypted, I have no way of stopping a brute force attack. For the average user, PAM is too complicated to use all its features without reading for hours. This seems like the perfect feature to add to YAST. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309311

[New: openFATE 309577] auto remove unused dependencies using YaST and zypper
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

Feature added by: double chou (MargueriteSu) Feature #309577, revision 1 Title: auto remove unused dependencies using YaST and zypper openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: double chou (margueritesu) Description: in Debian, you can apt-get --autoremove if you uninstall a package. in Fedora, you can also find such feature. but YaST, nope, I can't. YaST only automatically install dependencies needed by packages you wanna install, but It does not automatically remove them. So after you tried lots of software to find your need. Your system will be huge and full of useless dependencies. That might cause disk over-usage or security problems. 'Coz users only do system update in the way "zypper dup" instead of " zypper update", so obselete packages that have bugs remain. Nowadays I have to write down dependencies mannually everytime I install softwares. That's boring. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309577

[openFATE 305881] Add a simple way to access the rpmlint report

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #305881, revision 1, last change by Title: Add a simple way to access the rpmlint report Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Description: Right now, to see the rpmlint report of a build, you have to get the complete build log, which can be slow (because it's big). Having a faster way to read the rpmlint report could result in some tools to highlight what should be fixed, and therefore in better packages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305881

[openFATE 307621] Provide public interface to submit patchinfos
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 Apr '12

Feature added by: Dirk Mueller (dirkmueller) Feature #307621, revision 1 Title: Provide public interface to submit patchinfos Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Dirk Mueller (dirkmueller) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: For openSUSE 11.2 it should be possible for external community members to submit maintenance updates. It is already possible to submit the changed packages itself, however the patchinfo file can not be submitted by external members. The feature would be to allow to attach the information needed for a patchinfo file (maybe except for a swampid) to be submitted by an external community member. One possible implementation method would be a new submitrequest type in the buildservice API. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Make use of community members for providing updates -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307621

This classification should have an influence to the software search for the end user (by default he wants stable stuff, but he might also looks for latest snapshots). Possible classifications are: * STABLE -- project is considered to be ready to use for End-Users * TESTING -- project should work from point of developer view, but needs verification * DEVELOPMENT -- project is random state, it might work. * BROKEN -- project is known to be not working atm. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306232

Why? Because it is a very, very good browser that most Linux users want: minimalistic, fast and open-source. What more do we want? Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Chromium is a fast, minimalistic and open-source browser that is on a LOT of Windows desktops. Not only is it a great browser to use, but if a Windows user is used to it and can't have it on openSUSE, they won't switch. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308480

URL: http://autokey.sourceforge.net/ Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: There seems to be no other general keyboard macro/textexpansion utility available for Linux, even though this is an important productivity tool. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307748

[New: openFATE 309470] Add ConvertAll to repository

Feature added by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (RGBsuse) Feature #309470, revision 1 Title: Add ConvertAll to repository Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (rgbsuse) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: ConvertAll (http://convertall.bellz.org/index.html) is not just another unit conversion tool, ConvertAll is THE unit conversion tool because it is not limited to a list of units: you can build any combination you need. >From the site: With ConvertAll, you can combine the units any way you want. If you want to convert from inches per decade, that's fine. Or from meter-pounds. Or from cubic nautical miles. The units don't have to make sense to anyone else. Use Case: Students, teachers, researchers, engineers... anyone who need to perform bizarre unit conversion on a daily basis will find this app really useful. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: ConvertAll is a really useful tiny app. Written in py-qt and ready for translation through .po files it is really easy to use and very flexible. Even if it is really easy to install, I'm not sure how many people know this app: having it on repos will help not only to promote it, but also will help many people who need it but do not know its existence. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309470

It was included in openSUSE 11.1 but seems to have been dropped, with no explanation, from openSUSE 11.2.

I want to be able to do 'zypper se-osc uxlaunch' and then install it easily from the build service through that tool (without authentication) - preferably with (whatever) service subscription is necessary hidden from me.

Feature added by: matthias sweertvaegher (mxttie) Feature #309485, revision 1 Title: filter package by version on software.opensuse.org Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: matthias sweertvaegher (mxttie) Description: software.opensuse.org/search is a very handy tool to find a 1-click install for your favorite program yet often it is hard to find the latest or the correct package since no additional filtering/sorting is offered. Here are a few possible solutions: A) The low tech solution would be to support specifying the version in the query processed as a simple string, for example: if I search for k3b it returns 102 binaries, k3b-1.68.0-1.1.3.i586.rpm (http://software.opensuse.org/search/download?base=openSUSE%3A11.2&file=open…) being one amongst them. If I search for k3b-1.68, no results are returned.. B) Another solution would be to collect all versions during the query and while presenting the result as of now, allow the user to finetune the query by presenting a combobox containing all collected versions. C) allow sorting the results on build date. that way, I suppose the more recent versions would be listed..? Not sure if that's possible. D) allow filtering on architecture. sometimes, when you finally found the correct version, it seems it is not available in x86_64 ...

Feature added by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Feature #309587, revision 1 Title: Easier SUSE bugreporting Requested by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Last hackweek I hacked up the susereport [1] a port of Debian's reportbug script. Susereport deals with a BuildService - can find the assignee from package/project metadata. It basically works, but needs to be tested more than is. So my hackweek project will be test it and release it! And also find some nice to have features (like automatic information gathering in some cases, or so). [1] http://gitorious.org/+opensuse-developers/opensuse/susereport [2] http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Novell bugzilla is not nice - you have a zilions projects/products and you just have to fill a bug against openSUSE.

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #308360, revision 1 Title: use lockdev openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Description: Ever since resmgr was dropped there is no way for unprivileged users to lock a device file such as /dev/ttyS0 even if the user has access to the device. A similar problem exists for usb devices in /dev/bus/usb. RedHat uses lockdev to solve the problem. It's a setgid 'lock' binary that manages the lock files. /var/lock is writeable by group 'lock' only. To be really useful the lockdev code needs to be cleaned up so a library is used to call the 'lockdev' helper binary. That way rpm would automatically catch the dependency. Any program accessing serial ports or usb devices as user could make use of lockdev, e.g. libgphoto2 minicom ppp sane-backends screen uucp ...

[New: openFATE 308357] Replacement for Sax2 in 11.3
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 11 Nov '11

Feature added by: Tara Ikeda (TaraIkeda) Feature #308357, revision 1 Title: Replacement for Sax2 in 11.3 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Tara Ikeda (taraikeda) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We need a replacement for sax2 in 11.3, as a safety measure for when auto configuration fails to detect certain monitors/keyboards/mice. Relying on the Desktop Environment for this is not the best idea, as some DE's or window managers dont provide config tools for what you might need to work. So I propose instead of relying on xrandr, Hal, devicekit or whatever there should be a GUI to configure graphics cards, mice, and keyboards without depending on the DE or a WM to provide a tool for the end user. I mention this as I have had KDE 4 fail to detect my resolutions and sometimes keyboard, luckily SAX2 is there to aid me but if its going the way of the dodo then I propose a relacement tool so that the end user wont have to make a xorg.conf and spend some time setting it up. It takes skill to make edits to a xorg.conf file and one can easily mess it up So having a helpful GUI tool is needed sometimes. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Because of new users mainly, because we dont want them to install openSUSE and have it fail to detect their proper monitor resolution and default to a much smaller one. The goal here is ease of use, but also to have a a safety net just in case. With openSUSE being more geared toward KDE a tool like Sax2 becomes even more needed. KDE4's monitor detection tool sucks, its always given me headaches in Ubuntu, in Mandriva, in many other KDE4 distros. It has no feature to remember monitor settings, nor does it do a good job with enabling my resolution. But i am not doing this just for me, many others have issues with KDE4's monitor tool -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308357

[New: openFATE 309205] Remove old kernel package only after the new one successfully booted
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 Oct '11

25 Oct '11

Feature added by: Michal Marek (michal-m) Feature #309205, revision 1 Title: Remove old kernel package only after the new one successfully booted openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Martin Barry (supine) Description: When the kernel package is upgraded the old one is immediately removed leaving the currently running kernel with no modules. This breaks anything that requires modules until the user has an opportunity to reboot. The removal of the old package should be delayed till the system is rebooted into the new kernel. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Kernel package is upgraded 2. Try to run tcpdump Actual Results: 3. Get error about "interface not supported" and "unknown address family" 4. Reboot into new kernel 5. Try again to run tcpdump with identical arguements 6. tcpdump works as expected Expected Results: 3. tcpdump works as expected even before system is booted into new kernel Relations: - Kernel upgrade removes modules of running kernel subtly breaking the system until rebooted into new kernel (novell/bugzilla/id: 590496) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=590496 Discussion: #1: unknown user (2010-03-23 14:38:59) This is another symptom of needing the ability to clean up an old kernel after a successful boot. #2: (michal-m) (2010-03-23 16:02:38) (reply to #1) Let alone defining "successful boot" would be tough, but let's say if the user has logged in, there is at least some success (but e.g. the network might still not be working though). This would be the kernel packaging part. Then there would need to be some way to tell the package manager "now it's time to remove packages x,y and z, ask the user for confirmation either via the update applet, or as soon as the package manager is started". IMO it would be a nice feature, but I have no idea how difficult the zypp/yast/updater applet part would be. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309205

[openFATE 305859] Make installation history accessible from Yast GUI

Feature added by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #305859, revision 1, last change by Title: Make installation history accessible from Yast GUI openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: As there is now (since openSUSE 11.1) a way to access the history of installed packages and their dependencies, it would be very useful if this history could be accessed from the Yast GUI. In the present implementation, zypper saves the history in a file (/var/log/zypp/history) which is very obscure. The history thus shown from yast should be able to show official-updates and non-official upgrades in different categories. Use Case: 1. Install new software, software not working (or not liked), look-up history start yast, look-up history, uninstall software and installed dependencies. 2. Online update, something goes wrong (upgraded software not working or something), look-up history to see recent updates and revert (all from yast). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305859

[openFATE 306982] Create an open SLES

Feature added by: Stephen Shaw (decriptor) Feature #306982, revision 1 Title: Create an open SLES Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stephen Shaw (decriptor) Description: It would be great to have something like centos but that is based off of SLES. This would give people the abililty to use openSLES (for example) and move over to SLES if needed. I believe it would help to grow our user base in the enterprise as well by allowing small companies to start and grow and later move to a supported model. I don't think we would loss customers as these are the people that probably wouldn't be buying licenses in the first place. As they grow this could completely change and they would be well positioned to buy support from Novell. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306982

I almost always chose not to update A in such cases. I want new packages, but not at any cost :-).

Use Case: For example if factory is synced and package is no longer available, then use ignore all and after run refresh and repair via verify problems. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: If update contain many packages and user testing factory, then manual ignoring problems takes too much time and decrease time to testing. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308389

Feature added by: Mindaugas Baranauskas (embar-) Feature #308378, revision 1 Title: Add simple selection of partitions in installation process openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Mindaugas Baranauskas (embar-) Description: Need option for simple partitions asigning to mount points in installation. In openSUSE installation from DVD, the selection of partitions of system – isn't friendly to new user. We could add option to simple (and more grafical) management of partitions. Now in comparing this installation step in openSUSE, Fedora, Mandriva and Ubuntu: our openSUSE is most uncomfortable (a lot of mouse clicks)! Ubuntu 9.10 and Fedora 12 provides simpler management; And Mandriva 2010.0 surprized – is the clearest for beginig user. The Mandriva way: Press "Use existting partition" and "Next" See collumn of partitions and near the collumn of mount points, that can be changed by click :) That's all! The partition with mount point "/" – will be automaticaly formated. I expect, that for most users – this is the most desireble way. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308378
