Feature added by: pragnesh radadiya (pgradadia) Feature #308502, revision 1 Title: System Rollback With Btrfs openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: pragnesh radadiya (pgradadia) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: System rollback, update could be provided as openSUSE 11.3 feature using btrfs snapshot. Fedora 13 also accepted this feature, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SystemRollbackWithBtrfs. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: System update and rollback become painless, Since if something is broken we can just revert to old state. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308502

[openFATE 306924] Software Store like AppStore/Android Market

Feature added by: Raúl García (bgta) Feature #306924, revision 1 Title: Software Store like AppStore/Android Market openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Raúl García (bgta) Description: The idea is to create an online store like AppStore or Android Market using One Click Install. The currents search system is offuscated. By example, if you try to search "Firefox" in the current search system, you get more than one result, and Mozilla Firefox isn't the first. I think in some site like http://www.pbidir.com/ Thanks for your time and sorry for my bad english :) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306924

[openFATE 307498] Improve and Integrate users.opensuse.org across openSUSE sites
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 Feb '11

Feature added by: Francis Giannaros (apokryphos) Feature #307498, revision 1 Title: Improve and Integrate users.opensuse.org across openSUSE sites openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Francis Giannaros (apokryphos) Description: There is a lot of need IMO for centralisation and improvement with users.opensuse.org and the other websites. This would help in building a community around the project, as it will make it easier to find out who is doing what and where. I really don't think this can be understated either. Things like groups (let's say, KDE devs, Bug triage team, IRC ops), contact details, home: repository in the build service, respective wiki page, and an avatar at the very least should be handled from there. A good example of this working in action (and really _helping_) can be seen on launchpad; i.e. https://launchpad.net/~sabdfl Selecting 'openFATE' because I can't see where else to put this under. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307498

[New: openFATE 308352] Easy Way to put Media to USB Stick
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 Feb '11

23 Feb '11

Feature added by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #308352, revision 1 Title: Easy Way to put Media to USB Stick openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Description: Currently a user has to run "dd" to copy an ISO image from file system to media - and this runs the risk that the user destroys the harddisk instead of the usb stick. We should create some simple ways to do the copy. Some options: a) A shell script that checks for one attached USB stick and copies the image over to it. b) A boot entry on the media to copy the image to an attached USB stick. Option b) would allow me to download and create the image on one machine and then put it to use on another one. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308352

[New: openFATE 309261] Hardware Compatibility test before installation starts
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 Feb '11

Feature added by: ryan smith (ryan1414) Feature #309261, revision 1 Title: Hardware Compatibility test before installation starts openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: ryan smith (ryan1414) Description: I have a feature request for openSUSE 11.3 Before the openSUSE installation starts, openSUSE should first do a hardware compatibility test to check if a computer's hardware(video card, wifi card, printer, scanner, sound card, wireless keyboard, motherboard chipset,webcam,dvd writer, etc) will work correctly and also to check if openSUSE has the drivers to make them work. It could display a list like this: video card:nvidia 4353 Compatible/Driver not included sound card:Sound Blaster 3455 Compatible/Driver included If a driver is not included, users can look on the internet to see if there is a driver available. Once the hardware compatibility test is done and everything is going to be compatible, openSUSE can start the installation. If something/s are not compatible and/or a driver/s are not included, openSUSE can display 2 options for a user to choose which will be Continue installation or Cancel installation. Do you think you could implement this feature in openSUSE 11.3? Use Case: User testing if openSUSE 11.3 is compatible with their hardware before installation starts. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309261

[New: openFATE 309159] Reorganize/Add functionality to the Gnome main menu.
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Feb '11

Feature added by: Mariusz Bielski (marbpl) Feature #309159, revision 1 Title: Reorganize/Add functionality to the Gnome main menu. openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Mariusz Bielski (marbpl) Description: Nowadays if we want to launch application that is not in favourite (or recent) group, we have to do 3 steps: open menu, click More applications, and launch it there or search for it with search field - which is not the best example of usability. People are often changing Slab, to traditional menu, and/or to Gnome Do. How about making it like in KDE4 menu, where search field has different functionalities depending on tab on which we are currently. So, if we are in Applications tab, search engine searches for apps. Results are displayed in real time, in the menu itself. Of course it works as incremental search. <a href="http://kimag.es/share/29911151.png">[image] Menu: Searching fo apps.</a> In Documents tab we are searching for files: <a href="http://kimag.es/share/18560681.png">[image] Menu: Searching for files.</a> And in Places tab we are searching for places: <a href="http://kimag.es/share/67970630.png">[image] Menu: Searching for places.</a> There is a problem with this idea, because menu isn't designed to display huge amount of entries. Searching for a "a" string, can result with big number. So maybe in this situation scrollbar <a href="http://kimag.es/share/26285986.png">(r.1)</a>should be implemented, or only first few entries should be displayed in the menu, and rest will be available through "More Applications..." button <a href="http://kimag.es/share/36102822.png">(r.2)</a>. In this case, search string should be automatically copied into Application Browser search field. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309159

[New: openFATE 308477] Optimize preselection of games on GNOME livecd
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #308477, revision 1 Title: Optimize preselection of games on GNOME livecd openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Description: The GNOME livecd comes with games, from gnome-games. However, those might not be the most exciting games available -- we should split the gnome-games package to make it possible to install a subset of those games, and also find out if it's possible to install other games by default. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308477

[New: openFATE 309108] Add support for R to Cantor
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

Feature added by: Kevin Coonan (KevinC_MD) Feature #309108, revision 1 Title: Add support for R to Cantor Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Kevin Coonan (kevinc_md) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Cantor can support R as a backend, but the OpenSUSE build of Cantor was compiled without the needed support for the very well regarded R statisical analysis software and programming language. It was likely done when problems w/ R building for 11.2 were encountered, and just has not been fixed. R is one of the intended, and advertised, back-ends for Cantor. R is an open source, robust, statistical programming language similar to the comercial "S". It has very strong community support, and nearly every statistical analysis or graphic is supported, including many which are not available with comercial software such as SAS or SPSS. It is also the primary tool for analysis of genomic (e.g. gene sequencing, gene expression, gene association) analysis via the Bioconductor project. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: R does not include a GUI front-end. While several are available, the previous KDE front-end (RKWard) does not seem to be viable (and I have not seen it anywhere in KDE 4). Cantor is promoted as the replacement for RKWard and the support of R featured in press releases, etc. Combined w/ adding SAGE support, this would make Cantor, and OpenSUSE, and ideal platform for mathmatics, statistics and informatics. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309108
