[New: openFATE 309146] Higher USB transfer speeds

Feature added by: Shashank Sondhi (dreamtrip) Feature #309146, revision 1 Title: Higher USB transfer speeds openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Shashank Sondhi (dreamtrip) Description: In general I have seen that the speed of data transfer from and to USB drives is slow when compared to windows. It is slower yet when running the LiveCD. The speed goes down drastically when copying data from a NTFS partition and pasting it onto the pen-drive. This is a big achilles heel for Linux. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309146

[openFATE 307956] Improved tftp yast module
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Feature added by: Birger Kollstrand (MrKane) Feature #307956, revision 1 Title: Improved tftp yast module openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Birger Kollstrand (mrkane) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Goal: To facilitate an even smoother setup of an installation server where clients can be installed wia ethernet. Suggested solution: The Yast tftp module or the yast Install server module is added a ppossibility to edit the pxelinux etherboot setup. For the first iteration text editing of the "default" config file in pxelinux.cfg is added. The second iteration will add the new builds loaded into the Installtion servers to the "default" config file in pxelinux.cfg and copy the initrd and the linux file to the correct location. I prefer to have them under separate directories under /srv/tftpboot. Sample configuration files can be obtained from me. Use Case: Facilitate easy setup of a complet installation server with distros delivered by ftp/http and the initial boot process handled through tftp. This removes the need for a separate boot disk, memory stick etc. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It makes it way easier to setup a large environment where a number of machines needs to be installed with a SuSE version. It makes it really easy to test on different versions of openSUSE, SLES etc. especially when combined with autoyast. A complete re-installation is done in a few minutes. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307956

[New: openFATE 309184] Add more languages for installation from live CD
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Feature added by: Vojtech Zeisek (vojtaeus) Feature #309184, revision 1 Title: Add more languages for installation from live CD openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vojtech Zeisek (vojtaeus) Description: Actually, when I boot from live CD and I choose for example Czech on the first boot screen, I boot to fully English environment of KDE/GNOME. Some applications like Mozilla are translated. This is OK, I understand CD can not contain support for all languages. But at least YaST Live Installer should be translated to all languages . Look at Ubuntu: it speaks English during live session, but installer is localized. Preferably, whole YaST should be translated. It should not be so big wasting of space... There is also another problem: for example I'm used to Czech keyboard layout, but even I choose Czech during boot, the KDE uses English keyboard. This is very unpleasant especially when typing passwords. Why should I bother with keyboard settings in KDE Control Center which will be lost during install? The live session should use keyboard map and locales of language selected on boot screen . -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309184

[New: openFATE 309145] Improve Bittorrent support
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Feature added by: Shashank Sondhi (dreamtrip) Feature #309145, revision 1 Title: Improve Bittorrent support openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Shashank Sondhi (dreamtrip) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I've seen that transmission and Moon, the bitttorrent applications tend to be MUCH slower on openSUSE. Whether the firewall causes this or maybe it's just a problem with memory footprint (but I know the footprint to be low on other linuxes namely, ubuntu, linux mint, centos) Please rectify this. Use Case: E.g. When I minimize the app to the taskbar and then click it, it shows the main window. On clicking in it it would turn grey (indicating the application was not responding) and all othe rapplications would be slowed down substantially. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Bittorrent is a very popular network albeit under dispute for copyright infringement. But the use should not allow execution hurdles. It's support in openSUSE, being a server operating system, should be top-notch. Not as if it is catching up to windows in this regard. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309145

[New: openFATE 309094] Clear console on exit for security reasons
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 08 Nov '10

Feature added by: Fco. Javier Nacher (xiscoj) Feature #309094, revision 1 Title: Clear console on exit for security reasons openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Fco. Javier Nacher (xiscoj) Description: hi, I've seen that ubuntu clears console screen when the user does a logout. If you use your linux as a sever or in text mode it is very interesting. At the moment when you do a logout all your last operations in console are visible, and I think it is a seucurity problem. I know that usually people use a GUI term, but it won't be a problem to add this feature I've done it myself, just added this to my .bash_logout. # when leaving the console clear the screen to increase privacy if [ "$SHLVL" = 1 ]; then [ -x /usr/bin/clear ] && /usr/bin/clear -q fi So addind this to the user creation skeleton files would do it and won't cost more than 2 minutes. Bye and thanks -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309094
