[New: openFATE 309237] Bigger default panel

Feature added by: Mircea Kitsune (MirceaKitsune) Feature #309237, revision 1 Title: Bigger default panel openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Mircea Kitsune (mirceakitsune) Description: This is a minor change introduced in 11.2 which I believe Opensuse might have been better without. I find the default panel in 11.2 / 11.3 milestone 3 (KDE 4) a bit too small. It's closer to the Windows Taskbar's size, but for Linux I think the previous size was better (I like the default one in 11.1 personally). In my opinion, the current size is not only a bit uglier (the panel's too small compared to everything else) but also makes it harder to click on some buttons, like desktops which are vertically half the size of the pointer. Here are a few screenshots showing the default panel I'm addressing: http://www.linuxforu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/04-KDE4-Desktop.png -- http://jjtcomputing.co.uk/images/opensuse11.2-desktop.png I believe 35-40 would be a nice default size, the current default apparently being 30 (measured in units shown when clicking Panel Options and dragging the Height slider in 11.2). Of course everyone resizes it to their own like after installing Opensuse, so this hardly has any importance. Just a suggestion for what I believe would be a better default if anyone else agrees. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309237

[New: openFATE 310964] Add YAST module to set up an OpenVPN server

Feature added by: Jan Krings (liquidsky89) Feature #310964, revision 1 Title: Add YAST module to set up an OpenVPN server openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Jan Krings (liquidsky89) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Many people today use an OpenVPN server to access their personal networks or networks at work. The set up of an OpenVPN server is complex also, as several adjustments must be made at various points in the system. e.g. OpenVPN Configfile, SUSEFirewall, /etc/sysconfig Files. A module would make it easier to set up a OpenVPNserver. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310964

Feature added by: ernesto figueroa (alolinux) Feature #310887, revision 1 Title: gimp and openoffice are friends openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: ernesto figueroa (alolinux) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: first of all sorry for my English, I do not speak English and use google to translate. I wish we had opensuse 11.4 on an extension for the default Office suite (open office or openoffice) that give us a graphic editor for Image example: to put an image that gave us the possibility to use gimp, but without leaving openoffice. in order is not proved necessary but I would like that included in openSUSE 11.4. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310887

[New: openFATE 308467] Proprietary install driver HELP guide

Feature added by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Feature #308467, revision 1 Title: Proprietary install driver HELP guide openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Description: A constant criticism of openSUSE is the lack of an easy continuous installation of proprietary graphic drivers. Is it not possible to post specific (and very obvious) help links to community wiki that provides guidance as to how the proprietary graphic drivers can be installed (as opposed to just a general statement) ? i.e. a link for community help page for ATI proprietary graphic drivers and a similar one for nVidia proprietary graphic drivers. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308467

[openFATE 308202] Speech recognition
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Daniel FAIVRE (geomaticien) Feature #308202, revision 1 Title: Speech recognition openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Daniel FAIVRE (geomaticien) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Linux and therefore OpenSuSE desktops still lacks speech recognition. Despite nearly everything else is better than under the dark side of Operating Systems ... Some progress were made in open source recognition engines and therefore progress in their desktop integration become a desired feature for a growing number of users. Such a feature requires a full desktop integration and the ability to recognize the dictation of a text in any text editor. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Speech recognition is integrated to windoz desktop since windoz fista, and that is a very cool feature and an accessibility important asset. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308202

[New: openFATE 311011] Boot option "toram"
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Matti Vahalinna (Waxborg) Feature #311011, revision 1 Title: Boot option "toram" openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Matti Vahalinna (waxborg) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I've long been amazed about the speed of DamnSmallLinux on a low spec machine when run completely in RAM. I've also seen that this is possible with Gentoo and Ubuntu nowadays. I would love to see this feature in openSUSE Live. This would greatly also improve the impression that new users get when they try out the Live system. So you boot from the Live media and give it an option 'toram' after which a RAM disk is created, the system is copied there and then it is run completely from there. -- Vahis -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311011

[New: openFATE 310005] ask for root password once per-session
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Thiago Sayao (sayao) Feature #310005, revision 1 Title: ask for root password once per-session openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Thiago Sayao (sayao) Description: It would be nice to just ask for the root password once per-session. For security it would be valid only for the session for X minutes. When into the X minutes after the password is entered the request for authentication would just have the "Cancel" and "Continue" buttons, the password field would be hidden because the password would be still valid. When the X minutes expires, the system would as for the password again. Variations of this method are accepted, but it is annoying to have to enter the password a lot of times when configuring things or installing packages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310005

[New: openFATE 310945] extend chkconfig to dbus services

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #310945, revision 1 Title: extend chkconfig to dbus services openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: chkconfig can be used to enable/disable init scripts and [x]inetd services. e.g. chkconfig vsftpd on -> disable xinetd config and turns on vsftpd init script chkconfig vsftpd xinetd -> turns off init script and enable xinetd config chkconfig vsftpd off -> turns off init script and/or xinetd config A similar mechanis could be used to manage dbus system services. Currently there is no way to turn off dbus system services. As soon a package drops a file in /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/ the service activates on demand. Also, some can be started either via init script or via system bus activation. Examples are avahi or hal. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310945
