Feature added by: Divan Santana (divansantana7) Feature #310701, revision 1 Title: package byobu in an opensuse repository openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Divan Santana (divansantana7) Description: Would be great if anyone using opensuse could zypper in byobu . Unfortunately it's not in any opensuse repo despite it being a great tool for administrating linux servers. I'm quite surprised this isn't already available for opensuse. Would be a nice addition for 11.4 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310701

Feature added by: Algimantas B (algyzas) Feature #308445, revision 1 Title: Tor is not working out of box Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Algimantas B (algyzas) Description: Let's say I installed tor, it is came alone, without privoxy. One should download it manually. And then if I try :~> screen torify konqueror hich: no tsocks in (/home/senis/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:.) /usr/bin/torify: Can't find tsocks in PATH. Perhaps you haven't installed it? [screen is terminating] There is a guide http://en.opensuse.org/Privoxy_tor_squid how to setup it, I'll try it, but in some other distributions it works out of box like this. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308445

[New: openFATE 309627] Enhance 'Safely Remove' to spin-down and power-off usb HDDs
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 07 Nov '18

Feature added by: Pete Clayson (Olmy) Feature #309627, revision 1 Title: Enhance 'Safely Remove' to spin-down and power-off usb HDDs openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pete Clayson (olmy) Description: 'Safely remove' should (as far as possible) allow for genuine safe removal of all media. Under certain other OSs, the 'safely remove' option on usb devices will... 1/ On usb pen drive with a power/activity led, switch it off (trivial nicety, but reassuring). 2/ On usb HDDs, spin down the disk and power off. This seems more important. There is some discussion about this, for example, http://elliotli.blogspot.com/2009/01/safely-remove-usb-hard-drive-in-linux.… (http://elliotli.blogspot.com/2009/01/safely-remove-usb-hard-drive-in-linux.…) I know that the latest version of Ubuntu does this and there is a script offered in the above link. However, the script, as it stands and run on my installation of OpenSUSE, does not seem to work (in the same way as WinXP or Ubuntu, anyway - my WD600D036 disk does not power off) despite the positive messages in verbose mode. Perhaps this is the CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND option mentioned? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309627

[New: openFATE 314606] Improved Btrfs subvolume management in YaST Partitioner
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Feature added by: Dainius Masiliunas (GreatEmerald) Feature #314606, revision 1 Title: Improved Btrfs subvolume management in YaST Partitioner openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Dainius Masiliunas (greatemerald) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The current implementation of Btrfs subvolume management is a bit too simplistic. It allows adding and removing subvolumes, but that is all. Expanding this to view subvolumes as actual subvolumes would be beneficial. Perhaps something akin to LVM configuration, as Btrfs subvolumes can handle much of what LVM does. At the same time, this could allow easier interfacing with Snapper. Use Case: When using Btrfs as the main file system, it is useful to have a single Btrfs partition for both / and /home, as it allows for more efficient disk space use. When reinstalling and upgrading, it is now a problem, as there is no way to remove certain subvolumes and leave others, and keeping /home between installations is often useful. Another case is when a multi-device Btrfs volume is desirable. The YaST partitioner only allows creating "regular" Btrfs partitions right now. A feature like that would also be useful for tighter Snapper integration. It would be a convenient place to set which volumes should be monitored by it, and which are not. In addition, it would help resolve a few bugs, such as the failure to automatically create subvolumes for excluding directories from Snapper monitoring when choosing to format the Btrfs partition. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314606

[New: openFATE 314529] Add XFCE and LXDE live cds in software.opensuse.org
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Feature added by: Narayansamy S (vazhavandan) Feature #314529, revision 1 Title: Add XFCE and LXDE live cds in software.opensuse.org openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Narayansamy S (vazhavandan) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There is urgent need to Add XFCE and LXDE live cds in software.opensuse.org page as many Linux users are moving away from traditional DEs(KDE,GNOME) after some rather controversial changes from KDE3.X==>DE4.X and GNOME2.x==>GNOME3.X Many users moving to LXDE and XFCE can try out th DE environments using the live cds provided in the software download page Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To test hardware issues Smaller download compared to DVD Many users are preferring LXDE and XFCE over GNOME and KDE One can keep using live cds in case of system crashes DVD download doesn't support live boots -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314529

[New: openFATE 314607] formatting
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

Feature added by: Francesco Noacco (FireLink) Feature #314607, revision 1 Title: formatting openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Francesco Noacco (firelink) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Can format and save data in the partitions stored in any fs and not just fat32 (after installation). Use Case: I solved it with "disk manager" Debian testing (3.0.2 by Red Hat, 2009) In the formatting parameters allows disk usage by users other than root. And to think that I had just complained because the utility from a new disc without mbr creates one that is not compatible with other distributions (gparted from an alert message). Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Operations should be for everyone. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314607

[New: openFATE 314706] New default theme

Feature added by: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Feature #314706, revision 1 Title: New default theme openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently OpenSuse comes this slightly modified default theme from DE. For example KDE default theme is not very different from vanilla KDE default theme. So does not distinctive feeling. I believe having a separate for DE will be it much better feeling to end user also it provide unique look and feel to user. We can have a look at ROSA as case. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314706

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #312838, revision 1 Title: Hook up fwzs to NetworkManager Hackweek VII: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Switching zones in the firewall zone switcher is currently a manual task. NM needs to provide hooks to make fwzs adjust the firewall automatically. http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/08/28/firewall-zone-switcher-updated/ http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/07/10/1453/ -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312838

[New: openFATE 311089] Disable system bell by default if sound card is installed
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 21 Apr '18

Feature added by: Pieter De Decker (pdedecker) Feature #311089, revision 1 Title: Disable system bell by default if sound card is installed openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pieter De Decker (pdedecker) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: One of the first things I do after installing openSUSE is disabling the system bell by adding this to ~/.inputrc: set bell-style none Its volume is needlessly high. The bell scares the hell outta me whenever it creeps up because I backspaced too much on the command line. My suggestion: disable the system bell by default, unless no sound card is installed. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It's a simple fix for something that has been bugging me forever. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311089

[openFATE 308182] Create administrator tool for replicating OBS resources
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #308182, revision 1 Title: Create administrator tool for replicating OBS resources Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Desirable Projectmanager: Desirable Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Description: A tool for replicate defined projects from a remote OBS instance to a local instance would be helpfull. This should offer different levels of replication depth: * Just latest sources or including past source history (maybe with a date limiter) * Replicate binaries for :full tree ( to be able to bootstrap yourself ) or all binaries from package directories. The tools would be helpfull as CLI and/or as part of the admin web frontend. The remote instance should be access via the frontend api, while the local instance must be accessed via backend source and rep server (+ local frontend api for creating projects and packages). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308182
