[New: openFATE 308467] Proprietary install driver HELP guide
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

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

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

[New: openFATE 310764] Install with YaST as user
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Daniel Lee (erget) Feature #310764, revision 1 Title: Install with YaST as user openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Daniel Lee (erget) Description: For centrally managed systems it would be really cool to be able to install programs locally using the package manager. Currently it's possible to install programs as a normal user but only using the terminal and with several disadvantages - one major one is that you're stuck with basically a static snapshot of the systemwide installations from the point you begin installing on. If it were possible to use YaST to install programs as a user while still being connected to the systemwide RPM databank it would be a lot more user friendly and effective. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310764

[New: openFATE 310265] "Present Windows" effect as mouse button shortcut
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Bo Thysell (cast_iron) Feature #310265, revision 1 Title: "Present Windows" effect as mouse button shortcut openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Bo Thysell (cast_iron) Description: I have a Logitech MX900 mouse with an unused button on the top. The button looks like two stacked rectangles, and would be perfect for calling the desktop effect "Present Windows". See this thread on the OpenSUSE forum: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/applications/443348-presen… Image explaining what I mean is here: http://www.imagebam.com/image/9f204090841203 If this can't be done as a default setting, then maybe we could include an easy way to set mouse button shortcuts. Perhaps in the same shortcut section where we configure keyboard shortcuts? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310265
