Feature added by: Sirko Kemter (gnokii) Feature #309156, revision 1 Title: package ICC-profiles openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sirko Kemter (gnokii) Description: Make the ICC profiles from ECI.org available. ICC profiles are needed for printing. At moment are only the Adobe ICC profiles available. But they are nonfree. There is a organization for open standards in europe called ECI and the most printing services work with there profiles. At the moment I have to download the profiles from ther webpages, unpack and copy them to the right place in the system. On ubuntu is this easier, I install the profiles with the package icc-profiles -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309156

Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Improve the accessibility for users who don't understand English. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309183

Feature added by: ryan smith (ryan1414) Feature #309368, revision 1 Title: PC tracking feature openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: ryan smith (ryan1414) Description: My feature request is to have a PC tracking feature so users can find their PC if it gets stolen. The iPhone has a feature like this so OpenSuse should too. It could work by users going into Control Center and clicking on "Computer Tracking" and then they type in their email address and choose when they want the ip address of the internet connection sent to them, like this: Find your lost or stolen computer: Your Email Address: example(a)example.com (mailto:example@example.com) Send Location : Never Once per Hour Once per Day If the computer has a GPS or wifi connected then those co-ordinates could be sent too. It should support IPv4 and IPv6 ip addresses. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309368

[New: openFATE 309468] improve system administration from commandline

Feature added by: Kenny Verstraete (verstraete_kenny) Feature #309468, revision 1 Title: improve system administration from commandline openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Kenny Verstraete (verstraete_kenny) Description: I've installed PClinuxOS out of curiousity previous week and was impressed with the strong administration tools it came with. I've always been a fan of YaST, but now that saX is deprecated, there is no (newbie)option anymore to configure graphics card from within console. Let's say x won't start after some update, or misconfiguration... We used to do some sax2- r -m 0=vesa, fix the issue and return back to what is was. Drakconf lets you configure al your hardware from within console and is linux-newbie proof. openSUSE needs something like that too! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309468

Feature added by: Stephan Kleine (bitshuffler) Feature #309483, revision 1 Title: Create Spacewalk compliance openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stephan Kleine (bitshuffler) Description: We are currently lacking some free solution to manage servers / clients. Red Hats Spacewalk ( http://www.redhat.com/spacewalk/ ) provides their enterprise solution to that problem. Please make [open]SUSE compatible with Spacewalk so it will be possible to manage it together with Red Hats products so it evolves to a one stop solution to manage linux products within an enterprise enviroment regardless of the vendor. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309483

[New: openFATE 309570] sync contacts/calendars/SMS with KdePIMs using bluetooth like Nokia PC Suite.

Feature added by: double chou (MargueriteSu) Feature #309570, revision 1 Title: sync contacts/calendars/SMS with KdePIMs using bluetooth like Nokia PC Suite. openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: double chou (margueritesu) Description: It may be hard, but possible, 'coz Symbian is open source now, we do not have legal problems anymore. I know you men are developing Akonadi, after that, contacts/calendars can be sync to Google Contacts/Calendars then Kontacts/Korgnaizer. But actually it is just like 2 stationary FTP connections. The bluetooth idea is something that I can sync anything I want to every device in my room directly, not using any transition like Google, not requiring network connections. Of course I can also sync with Google, but it is another case. Actually you did it before. Kitchensync is an amazing software. And you said you will rewrite it. But the new version (not usable yet) can not sync with mobile directly, not to mention backup SMS (some places in the world, banks use SMS to send bills) . So come on, Symbian has only 4 versions, S40, S60v3, S60v5 and Symbian 3. Its protocols are easy for you. Nokia will remain top in next decade. It is not useless and can't be ignored. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309570
