Feature added by: Stefan Frank (stefanf74) Feature #312589, revision 1 Title: Continuous button look Oxygen in hole KDE also Yast and KPackageKit openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stefan Frank (stefanf74) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The buttons of the KPackageKit and the buttons of Yast are in the standard installation not in the Oxygen look like the rest of KDE. This can bee solved: type in a console kdesu qtconfig under Select GUI Style: choose the option Oxygen to change the look of Yast The same for KPackageKit: type qtconfig and select the Oxygen style. But it would be very easy to have this setting in the standad installation? The Oxygen look is set by default at the hole KDE, why not in the KPackageKit and Yast? Make the look auf Suse homogen and deliver in the standard installation the Oxygen look. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312589

It is very usefull but doesn't support views (DNS VIEWS). There are situations where it is a show stopper.

[openFATE 311297] Get rid of SuSEconfig.groff

Feature changed by: Thomas Schraitle (thomas-schraitle) Feature #311297, revision 25 Title: Get rid of SuSEconfig.groff openSUSE Distribution: Done Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Michal Svec (msvec) Product Manager: (Novell) Project Manager: (Novell) Engineering Manager: (Novell) Documentation Editor: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There is no point to run that code after installation of every package (and it's not run when you use zypper or 3rd party tools anyways). Possible solutions: 1) Fix groff to respect locale settings (LC_PAPER); ideal solution. 2) Add that code to yast2 language (write things during installation and whenever the user changes it later); should be easy to do. 3) Drop SuSEconfig.groff without replacement; unclear consequences. 4) Add that code to yast2 language (write things only during installation), based on comment #1. I would vote for 1, as it's a proper solution. If not doable or not doable with a reasonable effort let's at least do 2. Discussion: #1: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) (2011-02-15 13:24:41) Option 1 is for various reason no option. My proposal is based on 2: YaST2 should write /etc/papersize during installation, and only there. Rewriting it later is a bad idea, since the admin could have choosen to change the default. #2: Michal Svec (msvec) (2011-02-15 13:35:25) (reply to #1) Can you elaborate why is 1 not an option? Regarding your proposal it is now changed everytime a new package is installed (unless turned off in sysconfig), so I don't think it would hurt to update it from YaST, but I am fine with both options. #3: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) (2011-02-15 13:38:13) (reply to #2) Read the code, the file is not changed if the administrator has modified it. #4: Michal Svec (msvec) (2011-02-15 13:43:49) (reply to #3) OK. And why is 1 not an option? #5: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) (2011-02-15 13:49:28) (reply to #4) You don't want to have that code in YaST2, this gives only surprises and is a support nightmare, if YaST2 sometimes changes the config and sometimes not. #6: Michal Svec (msvec) (2011-02-15 14:04:44) (reply to #5) That is clear. I wonder why we cannot go with option 1 (fix groff). #7: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) (2011-02-15 14:07:59) (reply to #6) Sorry, misunderstoood. We cannot fix groff because it is not broken. groff has a config file, and that should be honoured. I for example don't want letter output only because I prefer an english locale. #8: Michal Svec (msvec) (2011-02-15 14:11:18) (reply to #7) I would expect you to set LC_PAPER correctly then. But anyways, I can live with option 4. #9: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) (2011-02-15 14:21:42) (reply to #3) SuSEconfig.groff in sle-11-sp1 version overwrites the /etc/papersize everytime - see bnc#644467 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=644467) . The fix is easy (I assume the check_md5_and_move is in SLE-11-SP1). So in case you decided to stay with this script, this bug should be fixed. #11: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) (2011-05-18 10:09:45) For openSUSE: We can break with everything, so I suggest to remove the SuSEconfig.groff file completly without replacement. Background: groff does not read this file by default, you have to specify it on the command line. For SLE11 SP2 this is not an option, since we don't know if there aren't scripts using that option and expecting that the file exists. #12: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) (2011-06-28 09:17:18) (reply to #11) Removed together with 1.21 update - sent to Factory by request 74706. Marked as done for openSUSE and SLE-12. - Release Notes: groff: /etc/papersize No Longer Depends on sysconfig - Variables + Release Notes: [Config] groff: /etc/papersize No Longer Depends on + sysconfig Variables Challenge: /etc/papersize no longer inherits settings from /etc/sysconfig/language when running SuSEconfig. Solution: Set /etc/papersize directly, e.g.: echo "letter" > /etc/papersize For details, see man 5 groff_font ('papersize string'). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311297

[New: openFATE 312596] Regenerate ISOs after package update

Feature added by: yu zhang (pswzyu) Feature #312596, revision 1 Title: Regenerate ISOs after package update Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: yu zhang (pswzyu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I think opensuse should provide regenerated ISO files to public after several package updated. I think this may help reduce duplicate bug reports and reduce net traffics. I think this can greatly increase the user experience of opensuse. Thanks! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312596
