[openFATE 307551] Booting Live OS from a USB drive

Feature added by: Ben Metzner (Bman22) Feature #307551, revision 1 Title: Booting Live OS from a USB drive openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ben Metzner (bman22) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I think it would be great to allow for a live session to be run via a usb key. Almost every live distro i know supports it as a feature, and even a lot of non-live-specific distro's have the option to run live from a usb key. If this could be incorperated in 11.2, or 11.3, it would be great. Just providing an ISO file to image to a usb drive would be great, seeing as the current images won't boot from a usb key. Use Case: Somebody who wants to be able to easily carry around multiple linux distrobutions, and boot them from a usb drive, or memory card reader in their computer. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I want this specifically so i can image some sd cards with my favorite distro's (OpenSuSE obviously being one of those), and just reboot the computer with a different sd card when i want a different distro, instead of having to carry around multiple cd drives, as well as an external cd player for my netbook. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307551

Feature added by: Wolfgang Rosenauer (wrosenauer) Feature #306475, revision 1, last change by Title: modify Firefox' plugin finder service to search and install from openSUSE repos openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Wolfgang Rosenauer (wrosenauer) Description: Firefox' plugin finder service searches for missing plugins at mozilla.org and can't provide useful things usually for Linux. The plugin finder service should be improved to know about plugins available for openSUSE and should invoke an installer on request. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306475

[New: openFATE 310013] Disable strigi indexing by default
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 07 Nov '10

Feature added by: Marc Schütz (marc_schuetz) Feature #310013, revision 1 Title: Disable strigi indexing by default openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Marc Schütz (marc_schuetz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Please disable the strigi indexer on KDE4 by default, or at least provide an easy way to disable it globally (i.e. for all users on the system, without changing any user-specific configuration). Note that simple uninstalling the "strigi" package seems not enough: after doing "rpm -e strigi", "rm -rf ~/.kde4" and rebooting, after the next login the nepomuk tray applet still informed me that it is now indexing my home directory. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: All over the web people are complaining about high disk and CPU load caused by it, and it is also said not to handle concurrent access to its databases correctly (e.g. simultaneous login on several machines with home on NFS). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310013

[New: openFATE 308883] Astronaut OpenVistA/WorldVista port
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

Feature added by: Juan Gonzalez-Piloto (juangp) Feature #308883, revision 1 Title: Astronaut OpenVistA/WorldVista port openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Juan Gonzalez-Piloto (juangp) Description: I would like to see a port of the Redhat RPMs (http://astronautvista.org and http://astronaut.sourceforge.net) for this important Electronic Medical/Health Record (EM/HR) program for openSUSE 11.3 and for Medical CD Project (http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE-Medical). This is an Public Domain software used worldwide championed by the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs. As the most popular EM/HR application in the world, OpenSUSE should look seriously into porting this. Currently, the RPMs do not install properly on OpenSUSE due to the proprietary Redhat RPMs available (adduser vice useradd, openssl vice openssl-server and iptables). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308883

[New: openFATE 308514] Start OS xyz buttons

05 Nov '10

Feature added by: alles Quarks (allesquarks) Feature #308514, revision 1 Title: Start OS xyz buttons openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: alles Quarks (allesquarks) Description: In previous Versions of Opensuse in KDE 3.x in Kicker there were buttons to start other OS that were known to grub. Klicking one of these items, grub bootet directly into that system. Since kde4 people like me, who boot to suse by default, have to wait for shutdown and the grub menu otherwise booting into suse again. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308514

[openFATE 306443] change parted to use Hardware suggested sectors per track
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

Feature added by: Dean Giles (dgiles) Feature #306443, revision 1, last change by Title: change parted to use Hardware suggested sectors per track openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dean Giles (dgiles) Description: parted creates partitions which are automatically assigned 63 sectors per track. Hardware, such as HP raid devices, advertise that they want 32 sectors per track. It advertises that through ioctl HDIO_GETGEO. fdisk can utilize the hardware reported sectors per track. parted needs to be changed to do the same. See bug # 501152.

Feature added by: Kirk Sanders (mithedhel) Feature #308077, revision 1 Title: Suse Icon openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Kirk Sanders (mithedhel) Description: Why doesn't opensuse have the lizard icon on the SLAB button in gnome when it does on the KDE variant? This may help us Gnome users feel less descriminated against. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308077

I ask to add X11:lxde repo into the list of community repos available into YaST Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: because will be much easier to keep up to date your LXDE desktop without searching the web for the repo, and mostly because, all other DE have that too (including xfce) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309272
