Feature added by: vincent lejeune (vlj) Feature #310885, revision 1 Title: Use flash-player square for x64 instead of 10.1 openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: vincent lejeune (vlj) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Adobe released some weeks ago a new version preview version of its flash plugin codenamed "Square" (a preview of the 10.2 plugin version, that is to be released next year). Unlike stable 10.1, this plugin has a native 64 bits version. As experienced by some users, this preview version is more stable that the latest stable one on 64bits OS in some situation ; on the other hand, using a native x64 plugins would allow to get rid of every 32bits package that are installed "just for" flash player, and which waste disk place. It would be nice, as OpenSUSE 11.4 will ship in Q1 2011, to have a "package" that provides flash square (with classic EULA notification) for 64bits version of opensuse instead of flash 10.1. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310885

[New: openFATE 311439] have a decent linear video editor

Feature added by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #311439, revision 1 Title: have a decent linear video editor openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When searching why I still switch to Windows, I have little answers but two or three. One of them is having a decent video editor, like this proprietary one: http://www.magix.com/us/ (cost only approx $100), extrremely powerfull. We already have some editors (Kdenlive, kino, openshot, openmovie, blender) Use Case: To edit the 11.4 tutorials I had to use Magix. No Linux editor could do the same without crashing every 10 minutes... and I really dislike making openSUSE tutorials with a proprietary software Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: On my opinion, we are not that far of the result, but may be we would have to give 2/3 more developpers to the right project. for now I see three capable projects: * kdenlive, the kde editor. It's the most promising, but for some years now it's still excessively buggy. Not even able to save and load correctly a project! * blender. Blender have a very special interface, so I couldn't really test it, but the Blender developpers use to be extremely fine, so I trust them. I will try it more, but may be need to buils a doc in the mean time * cinelerra. let alone because it may be the older project, and said to be very fine for it's goal. Used to ask for enormous amount of power (cluster of 100 machines) and specially fitted to jpeg movy editor, very professional, may be too much for the average :-( So we need one and we can have one if we devote some manpower to it -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311439

Feature added by: Martin Hunek (Hunator) Feature #312775, revision 1 Title: Add support of Atheros AR81Family NIC openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Martin Hunek (hunator) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Please add support of Atheros AR81Family network cards into DVD. There is a existing kernel module for that (atl1e for Atheros AR8151), it can be found in file: AR81Family-Linux-v1.0.1.9.tar.gz (on first page when googled). I was a little stacked when i installed OpenSuSe 11.4 without network running. I encounter AR8151 NIC already on 2 newer devices so i think it will become really common. Please excuse my english and also if i wrote somewhere i should not, I am newbie here. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312775

[New: openFATE 311353] Move libvclplug_kde4lx.so library to libreoffice-kde4 package
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (RGBsuse) Feature #311353, revision 1 Title: Move libvclplug_kde4lx.so library to libreoffice-kde4 package openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (rgbsuse) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: kde4 integration on openSUSE's LibO version is still problematic, so many kde users (including myself) prefer to not use kde integration at all instead of fighting problems generated by that integration (which as a mater of fact, it is not enabled on upstream LibO). But uninstalling libreoffice-kde4 package is not enough: the library(1) libvclplug_kde4lx.so must be deleted or renamed, something that must be done on EVERY LibO update. Moving libvclplug_kde4lx.so library from libreoffice-libs-gui to libreoffice-kde4 will easy LibO setup for kde users that do not want to use kde4 integration. (1) located at /usr/lib64/libreoffice/basis-link/program/ on 64 bits systems. Use Case: People with problems like bug 674806 (there are many others) that do not want to use kde4 integration but are afraid of using rm command on a system folder will see this as an enhancement. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Not all kde4 users are happy with the kde4 integration enabled on openSUSE's LibO version, but there is no straightforward way of disabling it. In order to not ask unhappy users to perform dangerous operations as root (after all, rm is a dangerous command), to gather every LibO's kde4 related library on the same package will give the user more options. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311353

[New: openFATE 311289] Let Dolphin open PERL documents in Kwrite
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Feature #311289, revision 1 Title: Let Dolphin open PERL documents in Kwrite openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Register Kwrite as the handler for application/x-perl . Test Case: Steps to reproduce 1) { h2xs -A -n Mytest; } 2) Tell Dolphin to navigate to Mytest . 3) Tell Dolphin to open Makefile.PL . Actual results 3. Dolphin is unable to find a handler for application/x-perl . Expected results 3. Dolphin should tell Kwrite to open Makefile.PL . Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Note: this is only an annoyance, since Kwrite is eventually called when the dialogue box is dismissed. However, Kwrite is perfectly capable of handling PERL code and I can see no reason why it is not registered as a handler for it. Also, I am told that Factory eventually offers to install mousepad . -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311289

[New: openFATE 311583] Graphical integration of LibreOffice in openSuse
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Jerome EPRINCHARD (radzaquiel) Feature #311583, revision 1 Title: Graphical integration of LibreOffice in openSuse openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jerome EPRINCHARD (radzaquiel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Despise of LibO official arrival in openSUSE 11.4, we can still see the old OOo-like icons in Kickoff. Besides, I don't know if it's KDE or openSUSE but with Oxygen theme enabled, we got the old OOo documents icons on LibO start screen as in LibO menus. It would be better to integrate LibO filetype & modules icons or openSUSE-stylized/KDE stylized icons. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: A clearer differentiation between OpenOffice.org & LibreOffice. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311583

[New: openFATE 312257] Snapshot/recovery feature with keeping apps
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Feature added by: Kim Leyendecker (openLHAG) Feature #312257, revision 1 Title: Snapshot/recovery feature with keeping apps openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Kim Leyendecker (openlhag) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Dear developers! Dear users! Have a look at this picture: http://i.computer-bild.de/imgs/3/3/2/3/4/4/3/Windows-8-Das-sind-die-geheime… Such a recovery function would be nice for openSUSE 12.1/12.2 and would give openSUSE an advantage against the whole linux-distros and even Mac OS X (Windows will implementate it soon...) But it also will benefit for the users. If you delete some config-files and clear my trash-folder, I can easy reset my system to the early post-installation time BUT, at the same time, keep all my private stuff like photos, music, mails, documents and even code files. WouldnÂ´t be cool to have such a feature? The only thing which prevent this coding-work by myself is the fact, that my knowledge in C and C++ is very limited and canÂ´t solve such a big project. But we get excellent programmers @Novell/SUSE and our community, so I think it would be a nice feature for the next openSUSE release! Use Case: destroyed system - easy recovering - keeping private stuff alive Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Because itÂ´s cool and I want it :D No seriously, because it would it make easy to our users to recover a system and keeping their stuff. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312257

[New: openFATE 311276] Remove or prevent error messages when mounting a removable
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Feature added by: Hans de Raad (hcderaad) Feature #311276, revision 1 Title: Remove or prevent error messages when mounting a removable openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Hans de Raad (hcderaad) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently when mounting a removable (usbstick, dvd, etc) often an error from "org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable" or a "DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending" occurs. These errors occur mostly when using media with multiple partitions. This request is to surpress these errors and only start one filemanagerinstance for the specific medium. These errors appear to be DE-agnostic, until now they show up in GNOME, KDE and Xfce on openSUSE 11.3. Use Case: Insert an usbstick (preferably with multiple partitions) and wait for the "automatic actions". Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: These errors are very confusing, especially to new users, since the device itself seems perfectly alright and usable (not to mention being opened in multiple filemanagerinstances). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311276

Feature added by: Oleg Kleschev (Kles4) Feature #311350, revision 1 Title: Provide easy way to mount disk images openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Oleg Kleschev (kles4) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There is no easy way to mount different disk images like iso, nrg,e.t.c. mount -t iso9660... is not really convinient. It's annoying. I've tried to find some scripts for dolphin's "Actios" but haven't find any working solutions. Use Case: Everytime you want to mount an image you right-clicking on image and choosing "Mount" or something like this. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Because mounting via console is annoying. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311350
