Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #312874, revision 1 Title: Need libcue Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: This is a dependency for tracker (and possibly gstreamer). Libcue is intended to parse a so called cue sheet from a char string or a file pointer. For handling of the parsed data a convenient API is available. This project is meant as a fork of cuetools by Svend Sorensen which saw it last release in 02/2006. http://sourceforge.net/projects/libcue/ -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312874

[New: openFATE 312886] Kernel updates removes user choices from /boot/grub/menu.lst
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 Oct '11

Feature added by: Staffan Tjernstrom (staffantj) Feature #312886, revision 1 Title: Kernel updates removes user choices from /boot/grub/menu.lst openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Staffan Tjernstrom (staffantj) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When doing a kernel patch or update (as in eg zypper dup), the upgrade process re-writes the menu.lst entries for the kernel parameters with the default string from /etc/sysconfig/boot-something.conf Not a lot of end-users are aware of that file (in my case it took 5 years to realise what was happening), and are instead constantly having to re-write missing kernel paraemters into the menu.lst file. For instance, most sane folks would use splash=verbose as opposed to splash=silent, and for anyone using console=, brokendriver=, etc this is quite disasterous in the case of remote systems that suddenly become unreponsive / unreachable as a result of the kernel upgrade changing very important parameters. Instead of taking the default from an obscure config file that no other distro even uses, I'd suggest that the kernel param line is taken as-is from the menu.lst / elilo.conf files, not set to some static value. Use Case: Wanting to preserve eg brokendriver=xxx splash=verbose console=ttyS0 console=tty0 across kernel updtaes Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Because I have spent hours trying to recover remote systems where I lost the console=ttyS0 serial console and a brokendriver= clause that caused the remote systems in question to fail to boot following a simple kernel patch. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312886

[New: openFATE 312883] 64-bit Flash 11 in OpenSuse 12.1

Feature added by: Joseph Mulloy (jdmulloy) Feature #312883, revision 1 Title: 64-bit Flash 11 in OpenSuse 12.1 openSUSE 12.1: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Joseph Mulloy (jdmulloy) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Adobe just released Flash 11 which has a native 64-bit version for Linux, OS X and Windows. It should be included with OpenSuse 12.1 in the same way that Flash 10.x is included in 11.4. I know it's very new but I think the removal of the nsplugginwrapper requirement on 64-bit makes it worthwhile. Flash is also know to have many security bugs, so keeping 12.1 at 10.3 for it's entire lifecycle would be more dangerous than including 11.0 Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Native 64-bit Flash, removed need for nspluginwrapper. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312883

[New: openFATE 312893] Get 1-click installs to work in Rekonq & Konqueror

Feature added by: Drew Adams (Druonysus) Feature #312893, revision 1 Title: Get 1-click installs to work in Rekonq & Konqueror openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Drew Adams (druonysus) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I have been using openSUSE since openSUSE 11.1. I really like Rekonq and like to use it from time-to-time. However, on openSUSE it is not a good choice because 1-click installs don't work from Rekonq, it just show a script or text in the browser. This is a HUGE lack of polish in openSUSE. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312893

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #308976, revision 1 Title: Color management in GNOME openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Description: We should make color management just work on the desktop, so that people can enjoy color accuracy when looking at their pictures, or when printing. gnome-color-manager and recent gnome-settings-daemon would bring us a great step forward.

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #311129, revision 1 Title: GNOME Plumbing Hackweek VI: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: At the GNOME UX hackfest in London last year, it was proposed to create GNOME Plumbing, a tool to easily let advanced users tweak settings in an intuitive way.
