Feature added by: Vicenç Juan Tomàs Monserrat (vtomasr5) Feature #310327, revision 1 Title: use systemd session manager instead SysVinit/upstart openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Vicenç Juan Tomàs Monserrat (vtomasr5) Description: systemd (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd) is a system and session manager for Linux, compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts. systemd provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using Linux cgroups, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state, maintains mount and automount points and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can work as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit. Thanks. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310327

[New: openFATE 309721] Make forums.opensuse.org true international
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

Feature added by: Yuri Tsarev (xnull) Feature #309721, revision 1 Title: Make forums.opensuse.org true international Requested by: Yuri Tsarev (xnull) Description: Current situarion at forums.o.o is that newcomer non-english users have to find workaround of manual language switch before they can read forum branches in their native language. It is incovnenient, old-fashioned and just ugly. There is two ways to solve this problem. 1) Dirty hack with apache rewrite rules wich resolves user's browser language and makes automatic redirect to current language. The example part of apache config for russian users is here : RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} (^ru) [NC] # RU redirects RewriteRule ^$ /?langid=4 [L,R] 2) Convert all backend data to UTF-8. This will be the beautiful and correct solution. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309721

[New: openFATE 312327] allow configuration of offline local printer
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Jan '12

Feature added by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #312327, revision 1 Title: allow configuration of offline local printer openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Now it's impossible to configure a local printer is it's not detectedn why? Use Case: my friend come at my home with his 11.4 install and ask me to configure his USB printer. I can't do it with yast, cups or hpsetup. Years ago I could do with vi, but now it's a bit too difficult with cups to do things by hand Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Linux/openSUSE have a lot of printers available. USB or // ones don't need to be connected to be installed if we know all of them. It's very desirable when you try to move some user from windows to openSUSE and have to configure openSUSE when not all the hardware is present. This can be done with any network printer but not with local. I know most local printer are detected and installed nearly automatically, but it's even better if it's done in advance. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312327

[New: openFATE 311246] Hide loading modules and running services from user
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Feature added by: Sławomir Lach (Lachu) Feature #311246, revision 1 Title: Hide loading modules and running services from user openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sławomir Lach (lachu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Add new PolicyKit enabled deamons to load/stop services and load/unload kernel modules. For outdated tools, we can add running dbus oriented service into running script, like OpenOffice will automatically starts CUPS service on startup, but when OO will be integrated too, we will remove automatically start of CUPS from script. Use Case: Mathew is running VirtualBox installed from standard repository. After run PolicyKit will asks to password to load VirtualBox kernel modules. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Actually many programs will need more dbus oriented service starting. VirtualBox will need load additional module. Actually many services started unnecessary, when it should start on dbus activation(with enhancement of policykit). We can add start of CUPS command to script starting our program. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311246

[New: openFATE 312343] get rid of /etc/sysconfig/sysctl

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #312343, revision 1 Title: get rid of /etc/sysconfig/sysctl openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: /etc/sysconfig/sysctl and therefore boot.proc and boot.ipconfig should be dropped in favor of directly using /etc/sysctl.conf Distro defaults should be provided via /lib/sysctl.d./*.conf so we don't produce .rpmnew files on upgrade. 1. write script to convert old setings in aaa_base's %post [ready] 2. write patch for sysctl to read /lib/sysctl.d/*.conf [ready] 3. adjust yast modules -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312343

[New: openFATE 312407] switch off boot.clock
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #312407, revision 1 Title: switch off boot.clock openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Nowadays the timezone and a potential local/utc offset are applied in the initrd already. The only task left for boot.clock is to adjust the clock drift. That's a rather advanced feature not known nor appreciated by the standard auto logging in user. Network installs have ntp enabled anyways. Therefore boot.clock should be switched off by default to have one less script to execute. Anyone who needs the clock drift feature can insserv boot.clock manually. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: faster boot -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312407

[New: openFATE 311074] Enhance Education Repository
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Feature added by: Lars Vogdt (lrupp) Feature #311074, revision 1 Title: Enhance Education Repository Hackweek VI: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Lars Vogdt (lrupp) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Right now, openSUSE have quite few scientific and educational packages. To give openSUSE more presence on universities and research centers at "final user" level, it would be necessary to review the current packages in the Education and science repositories and check for updates and new packages that are currently not on the list. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The Education and Science Sector is one of the most important sectors to reach new and enthusiastic users. We should offer a bunch of applications for this users fulfilling all their needs and as result, we can increase the number of openSUSE users in a very special, but also interesting and important area. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311074

[New: openFATE 308473] Context menu to switch between sheets
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Feature added by: Kohei Yoshida (kohei_yoshida) Feature #308473, revision 1 Title: Context menu to switch between sheets Requested by: Kohei Yoshida (kohei_yoshida) Description: In Excel (see the attached screenshot), right-clicking on the sheet arrows brings up the context menu. Supporting a similar context-menu in Calc would be beneficial as well. Especially when there are lots and lots of sheets in a single document, it's not very convenient to go through all those sheets to get to the right one. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308473
