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

Feature added by: Sven Burmeister (rabauke) Feature #307465, revision 1 Title: Enable zypper to auto-complete package names openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sven Burmeister (rabauke) Description: I think it would be handy if zypper could auto-complete package names as the shell can do for commands, i.e. if there is more than one possible match, show a list, if not auto-complete. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307465

Feature added by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Feature #308437, revision 1 Title: zypper search in package content openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Description: Zypper search should be extended to search also in a filelist of package, which can make webpin or package pin obsolete. zypper search --search-content gpm.h Will return all packages matching 'gpm.h' string in a filelist. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308437

[New: openFATE 309007] Add more scientific packages
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Nov '16

Feature added by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (RGBsuse) Feature #309007, revision 1 Title: Add more scientific packages Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (rgbsuse) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Right now, openSUSE have quite few "scientific packages". We have freemat on Education, xmgrace ... and a few more. But, for example, octave is only on Packman and SciDAVis is nowhere (for 11.2 at least). There are no packages for Scilab either, nor for PAW... Use Case: A physicist (or engineer) working on University that needs a good Linux distro for his/her work. Nowadays, even if openSUSE is more stable and reliable than fedora, the scientist will choose the later because its larger set of scientific packages. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To give openSUSE more presence on universities and research centers at "final user" level. Now openSUSE and its derivatives are found in clusters to run simulations (I've seen some of them) with ad-hoc programs, or in supercomputers, but not in the office computer for the single researcher. With its focus on stability, openSUSE could be the perfect "scy distro" but the few "heavy duty" scientific packages available is against this. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309007

[New: openFATE 309345] View lisf of files in not installed package
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Nov '16

Feature added by: Adam Mizerski (etamPL) Feature #309345, revision 1 Title: View lisf of files in not installed package openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Adam Mizerski (etampl) Description: In YaST package manager it's possible to view list of files of package that is installed. But it's not possible for not installed ones. This should be possible to do without downloading all packages, because lists of files are written in ARCHIVES.gz in YaST repos and repodata/filelists.xml.gz in YUM repos. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309345

[New: openFATE 308434] Add Ubuntu-like software center to support 1-click install/uninstall
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Nov '16

Feature added by: 嘉樺張 (iamchiahua) Feature #308434, revision 1 Title: Add Ubuntu-like software center to support 1-click install/uninstall openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: 嘉樺張 (iamchiahua) Description: A software manager support 1-click install/uninstall is more suitable for novice. They just need to know the software, rather than the package. The original package management is reserved for advanced users. Ubuntu software center is a good idea to support the following two features. #305582: Off-Line one click install (MSI for Linux) #305305: 1-click uninstall(MS Uninstaller for Linux) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308434

[openFATE 307942] change YaST PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT beavier from EXIT to RESTART
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Nov '16

20 Nov '16

Feature added by: andrea florio (anubisg1) Feature #307942, revision 1 Title: change YaST PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT beavier from EXIT to RESTART openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: andrea florio (anubisg1) Description: YaST actually looks to crasch after an installation is end. according to /etc/sysconfig/yast2 # The summary dialog is always displayed when an installation error has occured. so set that value to summary is un-useful, since the only time i need to read a summary is when something fail. i think the best way is just to do as any other package manager i used on debian/ubuntu, mandriva, fedora. just go back to "package search/selection" screen. that means set the value PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT="restart" -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307942

[New: openFATE 309504] Update dhcpcd to 5.2.2
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Nov '16

20 Nov '16

Feature added by: ron neilly (rjneilly) Feature #309504, revision 1 Title: Update dhcpcd to 5.2.2 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: ron neilly (rjneilly) Description: Upgrade from dhcpcd v3.2.3.x, which is in openSUSE 11.2 and 11.3-Factory, to v5.2.2. It seems that we are using a very old dhcpcd that has many issues, some that won't be fixed because they are addressed in more recent releases. So why not upgrade to a current version? v5.2.2 was released on March 31, 2010. v3.2.3 was released over two years ago on Feb 25, 2008 If this can't make it into 11.3 then put on the list for 11.4 Cheers, Ron -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309504

[openFATE 306917] Improvements to restricted-multimedia codecs installer
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Nov '16

20 Nov '16

Feature added by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #306917, revision 1 Title: Improvements to restricted-multimedia codecs installer openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: At the moment the execution of opensuse-codecs-installer leads to a rather unnerving chain of events for beginners starting with the webpage. http://software.opensuse.org/codecs?client_version=10.3.1&lang=en_GB.UTF-8&… 11.1 (x86_64)&kernel=2.6.27.23-0.1-default&gstreamer=gstreamer-utils-0.10.21-3.13& The request is to either have a different implementation of codec-installer itself (for example, clicking the search for codecs button on the codec installer automatically starts a one-click-installer for installing required multimedia packages), or improve the codec-installer website to make things easy (reduce number of clicks required to just 1 or 2) and trivial (ie. no decision-making about fluendo/community, etc). Use Case: New user (openSUSE virgin ;) , i.e., any MAN or WOMAN who hasn't used openSUSE yet, possibly only has used windows till now) tries to play an mp3 file. Then the following sequence starts: 1) Codecs-installer pops up. 2) User clicks on install codecs (preferably call it restricted-multimedia support). 3) Browser opens, shows up website with version of opensuse and desktop environment detected. 4) User clicks to start one-click installer. 5) Installatin completes, user retries playing mp3 file, it works, user happy. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306917

Feature added by: Piotrek Juzwiak (BenderBendingRodriguez) Feature #308043, revision 1 Title: Use Open Video drivers openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) Description: It would be very desirable if the open video drivers (nouveau, ati and intel) were used by default BUT in the presence of the closed drivers (as we know they still have a better quality and allow 3d operations) switch to them. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308043
