[New: openFATE 308521] Print duplex test page when duplex enabled

Feature added by: Todd R (TheBlackCat) Feature #308521, revision 1 Title: Print duplex test page when duplex enabled openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Todd R (theblackcat) Description: It is easy to enable duplex printing in the YaST printer configuration module. However, the test page that is printed from the YaSt module is only one page long, making it useless for testing whether the duplex printing is actually working correctly. To test it you need to make a two-page document by hand and then print that. Further, cups has the somewhat obtuse "Tumble"/"NoTumble" option, and it is not really obvious what this does. So it would be nice if, when duplex is enabled, the "Print Test Page" button prints a two-page document so you can see if duplex is working and is oriented how you want it. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308521

[New: openFATE 308520] Change bootloader to lilo - it just works.

Feature added by: Per Jessen (pjessen) Feature #308520, revision 1 Title: Change bootloader to lilo - it just works. openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Per Jessen (pjessen) Description: In light of recent discussion wrt bootloader, in particular GRUB and GRUB2, I would like to suggest an alternative: that we revert to lilo as the default and supported boot-loader. As at least two people have said, lilo just works. It is a tried and tested, file-system independent and mature boot-loader. Lilo is boring - just what we need for a stable distribution. Let me take care of the counter-arguments right away: * lilo doesn't support reiserfs' tail option. (requires that the /boot file-system is mounted with –notail). Not really much of a drawback, IMHO. Reiserfs has been slowly losing popularity, and with this tail option being a reiserfs-only feature, this is a corner case barely worth considering. * lilo is poor wrt recovery and diagnostics. Granted, it probably is. For a system to be played and experimented with, lilo might not be optimal. For a stable production system, whether a server, an office desktop or a home system, lilo does a very good job. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308520

[New: openFATE 308624] EDC-3000D CMOS Camera Support
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Feature added by: Julio Vannini (UngaMan) Feature #308624, revision 1 Title: EDC-3000D CMOS Camera Support openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Julio Vannini (ungaman) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The CMOS Camera EDC-3000D (http://www.machinevisiononline.org/buyers_guide/newproducts/details.cfm?id=…) is a high sensitivity camera for use in microscopes and telescopes. Being a USB 2.0 device, one may think the openSUSE 11.2 would detect it but it does not. It would be very nice if a detection of this camera is made possible. Use Case: Astrophotography of lunar and planetary bodies is one of the main activities in the world of Amateur Astronomers. Having very sensitive devices allow a better performance and detail in the pictures taken. (http://lpod.wikispaces.com/file/view/LPOD-Jan4-10.jpg/111515135/LPOD-Jan4-1…) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Amateur Astronomers have become a very active-worldwide group, sharing knowledge and expertise. The recent International Year of Astronomy allowed us to reach a more significant number of public attention and outreach around the World. People gets interested in learning more about science and education, and a stable distribution like openSUSE can offer a lot of tools for the initiated or seasoned astronomer. So, having the capability for use high quality devices we can help spreading the word and options to the public. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308624

[openFATE 307140] Include Ramlog application in OpenSUSE

Feature added by: Glenn Doig (doiggl) Feature #307140, revision 1 Title: Include Ramlog application in OpenSUSE openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Glenn Doig (doiggl) Description: See article Improve system performance by moving your log files to RAM http://www.linux.com/feature/141231 (http://www.linux.com/feature/141231) http://tofu3.szm.sk/ramlog/ (http://tofu3.szm.sk/ramlog/) (Some info) The Ramlog project lets you keep your system logs in RAM while your machine is running and copies them to disk when you shut down. If you are running a laptop or mobile device with syslog enabled, Ramlog might help you increase your battery life or the life of the flash drive on your mobile device. As a side effect of using Ramlog, you will be less likely to be caught out by a daemon that suddenly starts sending a message to syslog every 30 seconds and saps your battery keeping the hard disk spinning. Thankyou -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307140

[New: openFATE 308304] Graphical installation should use native drivers
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Dec '10

Feature added by: Marco Poletti (poletti_marco) Feature #308304, revision 1 Title: Graphical installation should use native drivers openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Marco Poletti (poletti_marco) Description: The installation process now uses fbdev driver instead of native, for compatibility reasons. I think it should use native drivers when it's possible. This would allow: 1) Support to widescreen resolutions, so for example you don't have to use 1024x768 if you have a 1280x768 notebook. 2) Using 32 bit per pixel (if available) for installations, so we can have nice shades instead of current ugly 16 bit/pixel shades. This has been already reported as two wishes in bugzilla (bug 534895 and bug 535049), but was closed as Invalid because Unless we decide to switch to native driver also for installation I need to mark this one as INVALID. So if you want wide resolutions and smoother shades, vote for this! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308304
