Feature added by: 嘉樺張 (iamchiahua) Feature #308434, revision 1 Title: Add Ubuntu-like software center to support 1-click install/uninstall openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: 嘉樺張 (iamchiahua) Description: A software manager support 1-click install/uninstall is more suitable for novice. They just need to know the software, rather than the package. The original package management is reserved for advanced users. Ubuntu software center is a good idea to support the following two features. #305582: Off-Line one click install (MSI for Linux) #305305: 1-click uninstall(MS Uninstaller for Linux) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308434

[openFATE 307942] change YaST PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT beavier from EXIT to RESTART

Feature added by: andrea florio (anubisg1) Feature #307942, revision 1 Title: change YaST PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT beavier from EXIT to RESTART openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: andrea florio (anubisg1) Description: YaST actually looks to crasch after an installation is end. according to /etc/sysconfig/yast2 # The summary dialog is always displayed when an installation error has occured. so set that value to summary is un-useful, since the only time i need to read a summary is when something fail. i think the best way is just to do as any other package manager i used on debian/ubuntu, mandriva, fedora. just go back to "package search/selection" screen. that means set the value PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT="restart" -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307942

Feature added by: ron neilly (rjneilly) Feature #309504, revision 1 Title: Update dhcpcd to 5.2.2 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: ron neilly (rjneilly) Description: Upgrade from dhcpcd v3.2.3.x, which is in openSUSE 11.2 and 11.3-Factory, to v5.2.2. It seems that we are using a very old dhcpcd that has many issues, some that won't be fixed because they are addressed in more recent releases. So why not upgrade to a current version? v5.2.2 was released on March 31, 2010. v3.2.3 was released over two years ago on Feb 25, 2008 If this can't make it into 11.3 then put on the list for 11.4 Cheers, Ron -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309504

[openFATE 306917] Improvements to restricted-multimedia codecs installer
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Nov '16

20 Nov '16

Feature added by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #306917, revision 1 Title: Improvements to restricted-multimedia codecs installer openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: At the moment the execution of opensuse-codecs-installer leads to a rather unnerving chain of events for beginners starting with the webpage. http://software.opensuse.org/codecs?client_version=10.3.1&lang=en_GB.UTF-8&… 11.1 (x86_64)&kernel=2.6.27.23-0.1-default&gstreamer=gstreamer-utils-0.10.21-3.13& The request is to either have a different implementation of codec-installer itself (for example, clicking the search for codecs button on the codec installer automatically starts a one-click-installer for installing required multimedia packages), or improve the codec-installer website to make things easy (reduce number of clicks required to just 1 or 2) and trivial (ie. no decision-making about fluendo/community, etc). Use Case: New user (openSUSE virgin ;) , i.e., any MAN or WOMAN who hasn't used openSUSE yet, possibly only has used windows till now) tries to play an mp3 file. Then the following sequence starts: 1) Codecs-installer pops up. 2) User clicks on install codecs (preferably call it restricted-multimedia support). 3) Browser opens, shows up website with version of opensuse and desktop environment detected. 4) User clicks to start one-click installer. 5) Installatin completes, user retries playing mp3 file, it works, user happy. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306917

Feature added by: Piotrek Juzwiak (BenderBendingRodriguez) Feature #308043, revision 1 Title: Use Open Video drivers openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) Description: It would be very desirable if the open video drivers (nouveau, ati and intel) were used by default BUT in the presence of the closed drivers (as we know they still have a better quality and allow 3d operations) switch to them. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308043

[New: openFATE 311244] install time enhancement for partitionner
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Nov '16

20 Nov '16

Feature added by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #311244, revision 1 Title: install time enhancement for partitionner openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: NB: too late for 11.4, to be seen for next (12?) one. when somebody have to install openSUSE, the moment he have to partition his drive is the key moment. Any error could make him lose his favorite (previous) system. The install system makes it's best to guess the better way to do this, but unless the disk is brand new, the result is random. For anybody not familiar with the partitionner, the two options (create partition/modify partitions) are unsignificant: that is they meaning have nothing obvious, the two of them keep the initial proposal. We should have a third option: guided partitionning, with something like this: * if windows install was found: ask: do you want to remove your windows install or keep it? If the answer is to remove, no problem. If the answer is to keep, an other question have to be asked: "you have to reduce the size of a windows partition". This one looks like a data partition (show some files on the partition) do you want openSUSE to use it (if yes, go to th reduce partition module). etc. we could discuss to have a fully, optional dialog -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311244
