Feature added by: Kálmán Kéménczy (kkemenczy) Feature #308307, revision 1 Title: Developers help translators with screenshots openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Kálmán Kéménczy (kkemenczy) Description: Translating GUI is not easy task. This is not a simple translation but localization. We would like to provide usable interface for non-english users. Developers could help a lot if they could create screenshots to help translator's work. This screenshots could upload somewhere in opensuse filesystem infrastructure and developers could put the screenshot URL in the source code as translation comment. Translators could easliy find out the right phrase, can coose right hot keys and this could speed up the translation and leverage the quality. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308307

Feature added by: Quentin Denis (queden) Feature #308440, revision 1 Title: Official Screensaver openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Quentin Denis (queden) Description: What about an official screensaver for openSUSE? Like Windows always has had, something humble and soft, but stylish! Currently there is no useful screensaver, either they're to crappy or to agressive.

[New: openFATE 308935] Video Driver Protection
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Dec '10

Feature added by: Wilson Phillips (Wilson_Phillips) Feature #308935, revision 1 Title: Video Driver Protection openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Wilson Phillips (wilson_phillips) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Give a way for a failed proprietary video driver to fail back to the open source driver, This would not leave a surprised newbie staring at the command prompt and wondering what just happened to his system. We old techs can easily work around this problem and we have done so for years, but newbies can do a fresh install and as soon as they do their updates, they get a new kernel and it breaks their video. How many new users have we lost over the years becasue of this problem. We need to change the way we think about these small issues and how they affect the new users. This needs to be a priority. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We need to change the way we think about these small issues and how they affect the new users. This needs to be a priority. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308935

[New: openFATE 308836] performance: scaling ...
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Feature added by: Michael Meeks (michael_meeks) Feature #308836, revision 1 Title: performance: scaling ... Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Michael Meeks (michael_meeks) Description: Build performance should scale, in proportion to the number of users, and not the number of build nodes. Put another way - providing a means to apply local CPU horsepower to the channel, combined with some approach (eg. an xdelta to the previous built binary RPMS) to overcome the (typically) assymetric bandwidth availability in a typical DSL client - easy to download a reference to diff against, hard to up-load it. I would love to donate my CPU resource to help accelerate the projects I care about; as - no-doubt would others. Of course - this has security implications, which are (most likely) more or less meaningless. We ship binaries (re-)built from internal, signing servers anyway, and we have an authentication structure in place: if paranoia reigns, we could restrict that to a further subset of privileged users. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308836

[New: openFATE 309157] Install and booting from partitioned MD devices
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Feature added by: Dennis Olsson (DOlsson) Feature #309157, revision 1 Title: Install and booting from partitioned MD devices openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dennis Olsson (dolsson) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Now that the kernel 2.6 supports partitioned MD devices, even to the point where it is possible create a MD device from unpartitioned disks , after which the partitions are created on the MD device, YaST2 needs to be upgraded to be able to handle partitioned MD devices , just as it should be possible to be able to create partitioned MD devices consisting of unpartitioned disks . Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Using partitioned MD devices makes it a lot easier to create and handle MD devices in that one needs a lot less MD devices. E.g. creating a RAID1 using two disks require first to partitioned the disks (e.g. p1 for "/boot", p2 for "swap" and p3 for LVM), mark these partitions as type "0xFD", after which each of these 3 partitions can be put together as 3 x RAID1 MD devices (/dev/md[0-3]). Using partitioned MD device makes this a lot easier by creating the MD device out of the 2 unpartitioned disks having e.g. "/dev/md/raid1" and then create the 3 partitions ("/dev/md/raid1p[1-3]"). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309157

Feature added by: Wojciech Mis (Wojciechmis) Feature #309340, revision 1 Title: Wallpaper Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Wojciech Mis (wojciechmis) Description: I may be writing to wrong person but I try anyway. I had to reinstall my OpenSUSE and when I set-up wallpaper "Lighting" I noticed that in wallpapers is my picture witch I posted on kde-look. Well, I updated that picture because I got better scanner and learned more how to use GIMP. If openSUSE developers used that picture I'm very happy to contribute to Linux, since I have been using it for free for a little while and I like it. Here are updated pictures: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Lightning003?content=78444 http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/LightningDenver?content=78319 It is possible that I put those pictures in wallpapers folder during installation. If that is the case I'm sorry for wasting Your time. I'm writing to You because I cannot find any better place to write and if You could point me to right I'll be very greatfull. Sincerely wojciechmis -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309340
