[New: openFATE 311061] Scanner buttons configuration

Feature added by: Yasha Gindikin (SlonoInquisitor) Feature #311061, revision 1 Title: Scanner buttons configuration openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Yasha Gindikin (slonoinquisitor) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Please, add the ability to configure the scanner buttons via Yast. Configure=assign an action, like one-button scan. Currently, this can be done with scanbuttond daemon, but its configuration is far from straightforward, let alone convenient. Ref: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Scanner_buttons_and_one-touch_scanning Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: In other OS's, scanner buttons configuration can be done elementary. No need to say, one-button scan or scan&e-mail functionality is very important. Linux is far behind Windows in this area. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311061

But they are not included in the standard Suse Distribution. It would be nice to include the drivers in the standard distribution. brandth -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310402

[New: openFATE 312309] Fix Printing in SuSe by Having gutenprint
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Feature added by: Private Private (new_user1) Feature #312309, revision 1 Title: Fix Printing in SuSe by Having gutenprint openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Private Private (new_user1) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: On Ubuntu there are many many printer drivers on the distribution by default because of the package gutenprint . SuSe has this package in the Repos, but not default. When I tried to set up my printer, nothing but the generic driver was found, but I manually installed gutenprint after 3 hours of searching on Google, and the Driver was there. gutenprint should be there by default. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To improve the SUSE experience and to not turn off new users. When I could not find my driver I was tempted to install Ubuntu! (I just installed Suse today). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312309

[New: openFATE 311010] printer-enabled indicator
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Feature added by: tys lefering (twlevo) Feature #311010, revision 1 Title: printer-enabled indicator openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: tys lefering (twlevo) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: with yast->printer->edit there is at bottom of that window a little box "Enable Printing" which must be activated to print. When it is not activated and with browser print-page is done there is no indication the printer is not-configured to print. no popup screen or other warning. hplip hp-printing software also has no indication and may use very high cpu even then. some indicator would be nice when trying to print to a configured printer but not set enabled to print yet. also the 11.4 upgrades with 'zypper up' often turn off the printer somehow. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311010

[openFATE 308045] Switch to native printer config
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Feature added by: Markus K (KAMiKAZOW) Feature #308045, revision 1 Title: Switch to native printer config openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Markus K (kamikazow) Description: openSUSE 11.2 already ditched a few YaST modules that have native (GNOME/KDE) counterparts. One of the next steps sould be printer configuration. system-config-printer-kde is a port of GNOME's system-config-printer. The latter one is already available for openSUSE. To package scp-KDE, a similar approach to the (K)Ubuntu one makes sense: Bundle the Python files used by both into a separate package (system-config-printer-common) and then make system-config-printer-gnome and system-config-printer-kde available. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308045

[New: openFATE 308372] lib→lib32; lib64→lib
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Feature added by: Matt Williams (Milliams) Feature #308372, revision 1 Title: lib→lib32; lib64→lib openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Matt Williams (milliams) Description: Now that 64 bit machines are almost ubiquitous, how about we make openSUSE treat 64 bit libraries as the default. This is already seen in the fact that in the buld service we have default packages and then 32 bitt packages are explicitly labeled as so. I propose: * Place all 32 bit libraries in directories called lib32 (e.g. /usr/lib32 ) * Place all 64 bit libraries in directories called lib (e.g. /usr/lib ) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308372
