[openFATE 308189] Consolidating terminology: update and upgrade
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

Feature added by: Karl Eichwalder (keichwa) Feature #308189, revision 1 Title: Consolidating terminology: update and upgrade openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Karl Eichwalder (keichwa) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In the past, we just used the term "update" for all update related things, because we were told "upgrade" is suitable for hardware related upgrades only. With the advent of zypper, the term "upgrade" (dup, dist-upgrade) is back for upgrading the system complete from one version "n" to the next version "n+1" (yes, you can "upgrade" within one version, but that's a special case...). The term is fine and I'd like us to use "upgrade" in YaST and everywhere else where suitable. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Avoid confusion. ATM, I'm force to use different terms in the chapter of the manual, if I describe the same task. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308189

[openFATE 308147] Simplify "Online update" in Yast
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 10 Jan '17

Feature added by: Birger Kollstrand (MrKane) Feature #308147, revision 1 Title: Simplify "Online update" in Yast openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Birger Kollstrand (mrkane) Description: In 11.2 there are two Online Update applications - one for configuration of online update - one for doing a manual online update I suggest that this is merged to one application which looks mostly like todays "Online update configureation" but has an aditional button on the page that when pushed does an online update. This will simplify the Yast GUI. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308147

Feature added by: Michael Jones (toupeiro) Feature #308853, revision 1 Title: Add tab-to-complete and doubletab-to-query functionality to zypper openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michael Jones (toupeiro) Description: Extend zyppers command line capabilities by enabling tab to complete against indexed repository packages and doubletab-to-query to essentialy perform a zypper se on the active installation command line. This would give zypper some functionality already present in debians aptitude package management system and would increase application installs and removals from the CLI. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308853

[New: openFATE 310100] YaST Software Manager - Installation after download
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Dec '16

18 Dec '16

Feature added by: Muhammad Javaid (BrownieCat) Feature #310100, revision 1 Title: YaST Software Manager - Installation after download openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Muhammad Javaid (browniecat) Description: Once a package install/system update has begun in Software Manager it's not very easy to stop it. The 'Abort' button doesn't really seem to work and if you force kill the process, you likely end up with broken packages. It would be nice if first all the packages were downloaded, and then installed (like it is in Ubuntu), rather than the sequence of: Download Package 1, install package 1, download package 2, install package 2 and so on. That way the installation could be aborted safely during the downloading part with no fear of broken packages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310100

[New: openFATE 308343] external screen detection

Feature added by: marco mendoza (marcomendoza) Feature #308343, revision 1 Title: external screen detection Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: marco mendoza (marcomendoza) Description: Dear Suse comunity, Im proud to say Im getting involved into the Suse world, and even though Im a simple user of the OS systems, I found essential to have a performing OS in order to perform my current work. Whereas I got in love to Opensuse (I did start with it wo knowing anything...ubuntu or Suse...I have taken Suse and Im loving it), there is a couple of current options from comercial OS systems that I feel it is missing even in the last version of Opensuse. Particulary I would like to suggest the necessity of having an external screen detection system, I heart that some people manages to do it manually, but I think that such functionality should be part of an OS at the level of Opensuse. I have in in mind other couple of whishes, I will come with them in a following post in case my suggestions are taken in consideration. Thanks for commenting on this idea and the feasibility of it. greetings Marco A. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308343

[openFATE 308138] Easy way to install corresponding debuginfo RPM for all existing packages
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 09 Dec '16

09 Dec '16

Feature added by: Silviu Marin-Caea (silviumc) Feature #308138, revision 1 Title: Easy way to install corresponding debuginfo RPM for all existing packages openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Silviu Marin-Caea (silviumc) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: KDE4 applications crash more often than they should. The bugreporting helper that pops up is not user friendly. It expects the user to know what particular debuginfo RPMs to install in order to get a useful bug report. It also expects the user to toil through a long "wizard" that asks a lot of questions. It's not cool to punish the user on top of an application crash. Does KDE hate us or what? The user shouldn't have to do anything more than giving the accept to send the crash information or not. Examples: Firefox, Windows. If KDE couldn't come up with something easier than this, at least SUSE should do something to work around it. My suggestion would be a way to install all debuginfo RPMs for every package that's already installed. This way, all bugreports will be useful. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We want to get statistic data so we can focus on bugs that crash KDE applications -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308138

[New: openFATE 310431] Create automatic private group for new user
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 09 Dec '16

09 Dec '16

Feature added by: Steven Bert (dodydog) Feature #310431, revision 1 Title: Create automatic private group for new user openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Steven Bert (dodydog) Description: In Yast user management, add an option in the new user dialog to have a new, private group created for the user. The group should be named as the user. The reason for this feature is to allow simple data sharing between users based on projects with a project group and a default umask giving read permisssions to group members (which is the default right now). The only measure to share a file with a project is to set group ownership to the appropriate group. As of now additional file permisssions would have to be changed. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310431

[New: openFATE 309296] YaST2-Qt : Add "Action after Installation" option

Feature added by: Rémy Marquis (Spyhawk) Feature #309296, revision 1 Title: YaST2-Qt : Add "Action after Installation" option openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rémy Marquis (spyhawk) Description: YaST-Qt package manager module should have an additional option in Configuration menu, similarly to the ncurse version (yast sw_single > Configuration > Action after Package Installation). Use Case: * A user wants to change the default behavior, but doesn't know that he needs to change PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT in /etc/sysconfig/yast2 * A user that have used ncurse yast expects that this option is also in the Qt interface, -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309296
