Feature added by: Rémy Marquis (Spyhawk) Feature #309296, revision 1 Title: YaST2-Qt : Add "Action after Installation" option openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rémy Marquis (spyhawk) Description: YaST-Qt package manager module should have an additional option in Configuration menu, similarly to the ncurse version (yast sw_single > Configuration > Action after Package Installation). Use Case: * A user wants to change the default behavior, but doesn't know that he needs to change PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT in /etc/sysconfig/yast2 * A user that have used ncurse yast expects that this option is also in the Qt interface, -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309296

[openFATE 307746] Yast2-UI to mount remote Samba/CIFS-shares
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 08 Dec '16

08 Dec '16

Feature added by: Alex Müller (Larx) Feature #307746, revision 1 Title: Yast2-UI to mount remote Samba/CIFS-shares openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Alex Müller (larx) Description: At the moment there is no working Yast2-module to simply mount remote SAMBA/CIFS shares the "unix way" (i.e. with a directory entry in the filesystem a la "/network/sharename/"). (yast2-samba-client seems to offer this as "expert option", however I don't get it to work.) The different desktop environments offer access with the "smb:/"-protocol, however this doesn't work really consistently. E.g. it doesn't help with consoles and scripts, and even some desktop apps, namely KDE's own Amarok, refuse to use the smb:/-protocol. So I think a Yast2-module - which should be simple to do, as it would only be a frontend to /etc/fstab or /etc/samba/smbfstab - to mount SAMBA shares should be implemented. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307746

[openFATE 307512] Improve Qt package manager searching
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 Dec '16

04 Dec '16

Feature added by: Rastislav Krupansky (ra100) Feature #307512, revision 1 Title: Improve Qt package manager searching openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rastislav Krupansky (ra100) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Qt software manager might use functionality "search as you type". I mean, searching would give me a relevant result already during writing of the name package. This feature is already available in GTk software management (Synaptic also), but for QT isn´t. That means no more writting package name and hitting enter, or clicking on the "Search" button is needed, searching would done over the names ;-) See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=482578 Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Faster, more comfortable and simplified searching. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307512

[openFATE 306412] Easy and unified way to enable/disable optional/experimental features
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 03 Dec '16

03 Dec '16

Feature added by: Tejun Heo (teheo) Feature #306412, revision 1, last change by Title: Easy and unified way to enable/disable optional/experimental features openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Tejun Heo (teheo) Description: When new things are introduced, it always generates certain amount of controversy. It's sometimes due to the quality of the initial implementation; other times, the feature itself isn't appealing to large subset of the userbase. Examples of this type of features include compiz, beagle and pulseaudio. Given that features which generate a lot of controversies are desktop related as they are the most visible and that as a distro openSUSE wants to ship and experiment with new features, having an easy and unified way to opt in and out of controversial features would resolve a lot of griefs without harming test coverage too much. I suggest installing new features by default and ask whether the user wants to opt in and out of those features from ggreeter. It wouldn't add another step while still providing choices upfront. Also, the same selection should be available through control pannel. This feature would be superset of fate#305296. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306412

Feature added by: ryan smith (ryan1414) Feature #309360, revision 1 Title: Bootloader cleanup idea openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: ryan smith (ryan1414) Description: I have a feature request for OpenSuse 11.3's bootloader. Currently if a user install's a new linux kernel the bootloader displays multiple installations like this: OpenSuse 11.2 -2.6.31 etc etc (default) Failsafe OpenSuse 11.2 -2.6.3 etc etc (default) Desktop OpenSuse 11.2 -2.6.31 etc etc Failsafe OpenSuse 11.2 -2.6.3 etc etc (desktop) Alot of beginners won't even know what this is or which one to choose. You should only display one OpenSuse 11.2 and hide the other options with a "see more" button that users can push Enter on to make them visible. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309360

[openFATE 306848] Provide firmware package ( non-oss )
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 Nov '16

25 Nov '16

Feature added by: Denny Beyer (lumnis) Feature #306848, revision 1 Title: Provide firmware package ( non-oss ) openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Denny Beyer (lumnis) Description: We should provide a firmware package for all drivers requiring one, eg. many tv cards or scanners etc. Even better would be if this package would be automatically installed (or the user will be prompted to install) if a device has been plugged in for the first time. Firmware files are relatively small compared to harddisk size, so one package for all tv cards, one for scanners etc. should do. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306848
