[openFate 305075] Allow to set the owner of a partition

Feature added by: Arvin Schnell (aschnell(a)novell.com) Feature #305075, revision 1 Title: Allow to set the owner of a partition openSUSE-11.1: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Sven Burmeister (sven.burmeister(a)gmx.net) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: If a user buys a new external harddrive and partitions it via YaST he will not be able to write on it, since the filesystem is owned by root. A normal user would need to know about how to use konsole and which command to use in order to change the owner. It would be a lot easier, if the user could change the owner within the partitioning module. Of course this should not be possible for system-partitions such as / and /usr etc, yet /windows and /media, as well as /home/xyz/ should be fine. Discussion: #1: Arvin Schnell(aschnell(a)novell.com) (2008-07-15 08:32:00) Do you want to set gui and uid in /etc/fstab? #2: Sven Burmeister(sven.burmeister(a)gmx.net) (2008-07-15 08:56:26) I'm not sure which is the best approach. Either the user could do something that replaces "chown user:group ." on the new partition or some predefined gui/uid to select from, because the normal user has no idea about those and the numbers that go with them. The goal is that a user that knows the root password can not only partition a new harddrive via GUI but also make it accessible (rw) to users without having to know anything about fstab-syntax and options. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305075

[New: openFATE 309115] Integrate Apple Magic Mouse driver
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Mar '11

Feature added by: Andreas Schneider (Los_Andros) Feature #309115, revision 1 Title: Integrate Apple Magic Mouse driver Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Andreas Schneider (los_andros) Description: Hello, I'm using the Apple Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard (both bluetooth). The Apple MAgic Mouse has a Touch Screen surface for vertical & horizontical scrolling. The left click and right click is working out of the box using the standard kernel (also the KOTD). You can find a development of the Aple Magic Mouse driver (hid-magicmouse) here: http://github.com/entrope/linux-magicmouse I was unable to build a kernel module and I'm not sure if the driver will be integrated into the standard kernel, so it would be nice to have patched kernel for the openSUSE standard kernel that supports the Apple Magic Mouse.

Feature added by: Michal Smrž (ilfirin) Feature #306385, revision 1, last change by Title: Official realtime kernel openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michal Smrž (ilfirin) Description: There is no official kernel-rt in main repository (and main update). Realtime kernel is very important for audio workers and those, who need very fast responses. There are third party packages, but official support for realtime kernel would be much better. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306385

Feature added by: Jakub Rusinek (liviopl) Feature #309258, revision 1 Title: YaST RPM Package Installer should give some feedback about success or failure openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jakub Rusinek (liviopl) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: YaST doesn't notify about progress, dependencies and finish of installation. Use Case: When you decide to open your downloaded RPM within YaST, you need to know, that you won't get informed, whether installation is successful or has failed. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: (K)PackageKit surely notifies somehow, why should YaST stay behind? I didn't see any info about PackageKit getting included in SUSE as default packaging suite, so YaST needs to make progress. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309258

[New: openFATE 310744] Add a overall download progress showing to Zypper

Feature added by: Pavel Ratner (13thSlayer) Feature #310744, revision 1 Title: Add a overall download progress showing to Zypper openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Pavel Ratner (13thslayer) Description: Sorry for the horrible english in title :D Can't find the right way to say it. My point is, that currently Zypper shows only the progress of current package download. Wouldn't it be nice if we'd also see the overall download progress? I have a few other people who also asked that, so I thought it'd be a good idea to suggest. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310744

Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It is more intuitive for some people (like myself) to use a gui-friven process than a command line. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307908

by fate_noreply＠suse.de 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

Feature added by: Alan McGovern (alan_mcgovern) Feature #309693, revision 1 Title: Banshee - Improved ipod support Requested by: Alan McGovern (alan_mcgovern) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Banshee currently uses podsleuth to interoperate with ipods. This solution does not support the encryption and obfustication on newer firmwares thus making it useless for newer ipods. The aim of this hack is to implement an alternative ipod addin based on libgpod. Use Case: Your friend comes over with his ipod, you plug it in and *bam*, it doesn't work. Or how about you upgrade to the latest firmware to gain new features/bugfixes and *bam*, your ipod stops working with banshee. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: You want this to work! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309693
