[New: openFATE 309586] Add hybrid-auth to KNetworkManager/vpnc

Feature added by: Sascha Eichenauer (supertimorplusfort) Feature #309586, revision 1 Title: Add hybrid-auth to KNetworkManager/vpnc openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sascha Eichenauer (supertimorplusfort) Description: A lot of CISCO VPN's today use hybrid-authentication. Unlike gnome-NetworkManager, KNetworkManager does not support hybrid-auth. Sure, it's not a big deal to connect via cli (when you have an ssl-enabled vpnc installed) but hybrid-auth integration into KNetworkmanager would make openSUSE and KDE much more attractive to university students and staff, for example. There's a bug report in KDE's bug tracker (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219118) which seems to be worked on. The gnomes were faster, they already have a patch (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=495893) . I'd really appreciate seeing hybrid-auth capability in KNetworkManager. Maybe someone with programming skills and the desire for hybrid-auth can do something. Thanks for listening! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309586

[New: openFATE 309838] Add a set of favourite modules in YaST control centre

Feature added by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #309838, revision 1 Title: Add a set of favourite modules in YaST control centre openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: It would be nice to have a set of favourite modules in YaST either as a separate group or as part of the display (for example a list of items just below the left sidebar). I understand that many modules in YaST are a little too technical for the "average" desktop user, and that he/she usually ends up using a few of them [software management, network, users, etc.] regularly while ignoring the presence of the more advanced modules. As a result, the interface looks a little too daunting for him/her at first sight. Therefore, I suggest that YaST have a "Commonly used" group of modules [alongside the already existing groups] that should be shown at YaST startup. The commonly used group could be a hard-coded list of the usually used modules [i believe the survey could help with that] or be initially populated with a selection of simple modules and then updated with usage. For example there could be just the "Software management" and "Users" modules added to the commonly used group and when a user uses module "X" a few times it shows up there as well. This would make it useful also, for example, for a system-administrator who uses the LDAP module regu larly. Filing for openSUSE 11.3, since there seems to be no way to file features for 12.0 yet. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309838

[New: openFATE 309914] Add Disk Labels to partitions during install
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 31 Aug '11

Feature added by: David Kroher (dkroher) Feature #309914, revision 1 Title: Add Disk Labels to partitions during install openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: David Kroher (dkroher) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Standard Opensuse install does not add disk labels to partitions during install. It should label when the partition is created for what it is root/home. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This can be very useful when plugging a hdd opensuse was installed on to another machine, eg, via USB. The notifier will display the disk labels without having to guess what is on each partition. Should be fairly simple to implement, and I only expect to be done when separate home partition is selected during install. More partitions than that, and I see it up to the user to define the labels. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309914

Feature added by: John Shand (jshand2008) Feature #309260, revision 1 Title: Choose between Office Suites openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: John Shand (jshand2008) Description: just with having the option to choose the web browser, it would also be a good idea to let the user choose which office suite they would like e.g. OpenOffice or KOffice. it would be desirable for this feature to be implemented -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309260

[New: openFATE 309357] Add the WHIRLPOOL login password option+PC Tracking

Feature added by: ryan smith (ryan1414) Feature #309357, revision 1 Title: Add the WHIRLPOOL login password option+PC Tracking openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: ryan smith (ryan1414) Description: My first feature request for OpenSuse 11.3 is to add the WHIRLPOOL encryption as a choice for the login password. More info can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHIRLPOOL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHIRLPOOL) Also the encryption options should have security ratings displayed like this: Whirlpool (Strongest) MD5 (Okay) etc etc My second 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/309357

[New: openFATE 309358] Less confusing installer idea

Feature added by: ryan smith (ryan1414) Feature #309358, revision 1 Title: Less confusing installer idea openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: ryan smith (ryan1414) Description: I have a feature request for the OpenSuse 11.3 installer. I found 11.2 installer to be very confusing. What I found confusing was the partition part and where it talks about sda1, sda2, etc. Most beginners won't even know what these mean. My feature request is to make the installer less confusing by first displaying all the partitions and hard drives on a user's computer and users can select 1 or more partitions to install OpenSuse too like this: Tick the drive/s | partitions you want to install OpenSuse on: C: Label 20GB D: Label 50GB E: Label 1TB After users have chosen the drives/partitions only then will the partition edit/creation options be shown, and they'll only apply to the drives/partitions a user chose before. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309358

[openFATE 307777] Package Phoronix Test Suite
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 31 Aug '11

Feature added by: Ted Bullock (meiqur) Feature #307777, revision 1 Title: Package Phoronix Test Suite Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ted Bullock (meiqur) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Phoronix is a moderately popular linux related website which has compiled a series of tests into a suite they call the Phoronix Test Suite. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It would be interesting for users to be able to observe the changes in the performance of their systems from release to release. Also, it would useful to actually bring some numbers to discussions in bug reports rather than just vague statements like "computer is slow" -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307777

[New: openFATE 308963] Taskjuggler

Feature added by: Lars Koraeus (koraeus) Feature #308963, revision 1 Title: Taskjuggler openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Lars Koraeus (koraeus) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Taskjuggler is a very comprehensive and powerful project management system. This was removed in openSUSE 11.2 due to not having ported the graphical interface to KDE 4 as I understand. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Taskjuggler should be included in the 11.3 with or without KDE interface. We still run 11.1 in our company and have to do so until it is back again. Applications are more important than desktop features. Downloading and install from Taskjuggler website results in a lot of unresolved dependencies as by now. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308963

[New: openFATE 309662] GNOME 3 - Keep GNOME 2

Feature added by: Anomyous Anomyous (jcat123) Feature #309662, revision 1 Title: GNOME 3 - Keep GNOME 2 Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Anomyous Anomyous (jcat123) Description: When KDE4 came out, there were a lot of bugs and headaches. Many people used the more stable KDE3 option while others explored KDE4. Doing the same for GNOME in openSUSE 12.0\11.4 (whichever is after 11.3) would be wise. Move GNOME2 to another directory like /opt else like with KDE3 and have GNOME 3 in its directory or vice-versa. Since other distros didn't do the same with KDE3\4 they probably won't with GNOME 2\3 either, which would potentially give openSUSE an advantage and bring in more users. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309662
