[New: openFATE 310872] We fail at...quality control

Feature added by: Verner Kjærsgaard (vernerliga) Feature #310872, revision 1 Title: We fail at...quality control openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Verner Kjærsgaard (vernerliga) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Dear Sirs, - I've been with SuSE since v7 or so. I make my living from Novell/openSuSE products. - it distrubs me everytime I sense a slight lack of quality control in the product(s). I use SLES10/11 for professional deployments - if I can... Many times SLES10/11 will lack libraries that are needed for running various common web-applications. Thus giving me no choice but to leave SLES(n) and go for a stripped down openSuSE installation that works... On the openSuSE side, it disturbs me that (using the KDE desktop) the Knetworkmanager or whatever it's calles these days is still not stable or plain just functioning. If one thows Ubunto at just about any laptop, the wireless just works. In openSuSE, not so. Or is not stable or is not quite polished. This should be corrected. In general I'm left with a feeling that in stead of more features one should concentrate on getting the present ones to work properly :-) Media is still a problem. How come that Ubuntu will show live-tv, openSuSE will not. Not so disturbing to me, I can fix it. But when I'm plugging openSUSE to friends...it becomes an issue. The YaST interface to CUPS isn't quite there yet although much improved over the last couple of versions :-) I wish I could contribute, alas, my programming skills are not goog enough. Sorry. Anyhow, I'm still with Novell/SUSE and I'm planning to stay. Best regards, Verner Kjærsgaard Denmark Novell Certified Linux Professional. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310872

[New: openFATE 314614] Default 64-bit version of ISO on openSUSE.ORG
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 May '15

Feature added by: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) Feature #314614, revision 1 Title: Default 64-bit version of ISO on openSUSE.ORG openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It seems to me that we should be encouraging the use of the 64-bit version of openSUSE. Right now the default selection on the download page defaults to 32-bit. With virtually every desktop/laptop x86 processor having 64-bit extensions within the last years we should be encouraging people to try it out. The long time issues of flash/java not having 64-bit support are gone to the point of not even defaulting 32-bit compatibility libs any more on the default install. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To encourage people trying the 64-bit version who may think there are still old issues about it that have long been resolved. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314614

[New: openFATE 313436] Bring the old Package Finder on opensuse.org

Feature added by: gabriel byrne (assas1n) Feature #313436, revision 1 Title: Bring the old Package Finder on opensuse.org openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: gabriel byrne (assas1n) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Some time ago, the library or package finder on opensuse.org was changed. The new version is too confusing to use, needing several unncesary clicks here and there. Plus, its a pain trying to find libraries or packages made by common users. Also, the link pointing to those users repositories is gone, making the task of installing user made packages a hasle. In my opinion, bringing the classic finder back would be great. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313436

[New: openFATE 313416] Provide alternate printjob username
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 May '15

18 May '15

Feature added by: John Harmon (joharmon) Feature #313416, revision 1 Title: Provide alternate printjob username openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: John Harmon (joharmon) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Would like to see a way in Samba to provide an alternate printjob username when guest printing. Don't know if I selected the right "product" for this request Test Case: I believe if you were to join a SLES box to an AD domain, then add the user for the server, as described above, the issue could be easily duplicated. I am working on that now. Use Case: In this particular instance the customer was authenticating to the server, or appeared to be, as a particular user. Whenever he printed, however, the banner page would come out as being printed by guest. Development found that the windows workstation had a user configured for this server (SERVERNAME/guest). net use commands didn't override this user (windows bug). In this case the "use default domain = yes" setting was being used, so the user's servername (SERVERNAME) would be stripped off, leaving us a username of guest--which would then login. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313416

[New: openFATE 313311] Update Documentation
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 May '15

18 May '15

Feature added by: Peter Tselios (tpe) Feature #313311, revision 1 Title: Update Documentation openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Peter Tselios (tpe) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Update the opensuse documentation (doc.opensuse.org) and especialy the NFS4 server section. Current section is not very helpful. A great example of relevant documentation can be found at the ArchLinux Wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NFSv4) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The documentation is not helpful at all. The NFS4 changed the way directories are exported in more than one way. From the documentation is implied that most of the work is performed from the Yast, which -at least up to 11.4- is not full (for example, directories outside the exported "root" directory are not automatically mounted with --bind option. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313311

[New: openFATE 310661] better facility to search for bugs
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 May '15

18 May '15

Feature added by: Elmar Stellnberger (estellnb) Feature #310661, revision 1 Title: better facility to search for bugs openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Elmar Stellnberger (estellnb) Description: openSUSE has really no bad bug support. However non-Suse users can never enfruit the benefits of openSUSE`s qa because there is no good way to search for bugs. This is even a problem for anyone who wants to check whether a problem is already reported before reporting it himself. I believe openSUSE could gain a lot of users by a better bug search. Bug reports do often contain solutions to common problems. If bugs are findable they will become linked and will thus be found more often by Google instead of the standard Ubuntu-threads talking around the hot pap. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310661
