Feature added by: Lars Müller (lmuelle) Feature #313287, revision 1 Title: Allow printer add and modification to users openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Lars Müller (lmuelle) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: This had been part of the discussion in this thread http://lists.openSUSE.org/opensuse/2012-02/msg01443.html At the moment you need to be root to add a printer. It would be of huge benefit to corporate, soho, and home users if there is an easy way from inside YaST or while the initial install to allow a non root user to add a printer. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313287

Feature added by: Nikolaos Beast (metalized) Feature #310955, revision 1 Title: Include PAC Manager in openSuSE Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Nikolaos Beast (metalized) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The description from the application's website [ http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/PAC+Manager?content=125533 (http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/PAC+Manager?content=125533) ] PAC is a Perl/GTK Gnome replacement for SecureCRT/Putty/... It provides a GUI to configure SSH/Telnet connections: users, passwords, EXPECT regular expressions, macros, etc... Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I was always using Konsole for everything that had to do with console related tasks (as I mainly use KDE). PAC Manager has replaced totally Konsole, or any other terminal emulator/ssh client I have used. It has all the features an SSH client should have! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310955

[New: openFATE 310886] "expire" configuration in Pastebin, a plasmoid using Plasma's new share engine.

Feature added by: double chou (MargueriteSu) Feature #310886, revision 1 Title: "expire" configuration in Pastebin, a plasmoid using Plasma's new share engine. openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: double chou (margueritesu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: On paste.opensuse.org, you can choose the expire time like 1 week for your paste. After that period of time, you paste will be unrecoverablely deleted from server. This design liberates the server. But nowadays every paste from the pastebin plasmoid will host on opensuse.org forever. I hope the code can be modified by changing "never" delete to "1 week" delete, or just give the user a self configuration button. 'coz there is no login mechanism in pastebin currently, we can't manage our pastes. It means most of our pastes will be surely useless after a certain period. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310886

Feature added by: Marguerite Su (MargueriteSu) Feature #313029, revision 1 Title: Update option in Apper Software Management openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Marguerite Su (margueritesu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hiï¼I think with these features Apper will be betterã 1. Update option Nowadays Apper only ship with install and remove optionï¼ itâs hardwork if you updateã 2. Aggregation of packages if you search an applicationï¼ it gives you tens of packages with the same nameï¼ if you enabled many different repoãeven within the same repoï¼ it will give you different versionsãit is confusingã 3. Stick Applications you installed to the roof and Applications you installed and updatable to the roof of roof by default. in YaST, you can do it by click Name tab, but Apper ships with no such method. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313029

Feature added by: saulo aldighieri moraes (saul0) Feature #312471, revision 1 Title: LightDM as the default Display Manager openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: saulo aldighieri moraes (saul0) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Using LightDM as the default Display Manager for Gnome, KDE and XFCE we will be reducing possible Display Manager issues to just 1 source. Ubuntu is already using it and others distro will probably follow this idea. KDE/Qt LightDM is already in progree: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTUxNg -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312471

[New: openFATE 312895] Install Kate by default on KDE based installations

Feature added by: Joseph Mulloy (jdmulloy) Feature #312895, revision 1 Title: Install Kate by default on KDE based installations openSUSE 12.1: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Joseph Mulloy (jdmulloy) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The default text editor installed in a KDE based install of OpenSUSE is Kwrite. I propose installing Kate along side or instead of Kwrite as it is more powerful. It's not too hard to install Kate via Zypper, but having it available "out of the box" would make OpenSUSE a better KDE distro. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312895

[New: openFATE 309055] get rid of SuSEconfig.postfix
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #309055, revision 1 Title: get rid of SuSEconfig.postfix openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Description: /etc/sysconfig/postfix and SuSEconfig.postfix are a mess. They cause trouble on updates and one never knows whether the settings are actually applied or a "xy.SuSEconfig" file gets created. Instead of translating sysconfig values to postconf calls, yast should just read and modify postfix' files directly if needed. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=559235 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=580124 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=580485 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309055

[New: openFATE 309370] Get ride of SuSEconfig.gtk2
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Feature added by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Feature #309370, revision 1 Title: Get ride of SuSEconfig.gtk2 openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There are a few packages which needs a SuSEconfig.gtk2 run afterwards. Currently they touch "run-gtk" and the next SuSEconfig run will execute the script. But the problem is, that only YaST2 calls SuSEconfig afterwards, zypper and rpm do not. As result, if you install gtk based applications the first time with zypper or rpm, this ones are often broken and don't work. The workaround is, that all this applications get a %run_suseconfig macro. This is very error prone, and makes the installation slower than doing it right from the beginning and let the post install of this packages, which really installs a plugin, register it correct. As all the bug reports with SLE11 SP1 shows, the current solution is not maintainable in any ways. We need to get ride of this hack. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Make gtk applications work out of the box again and not depending on a special Novell hack not supported by most of our own RPMs and 3rd party RPMs. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309370

[New: openFATE 312320] don't install postfix by default anymore

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #312320, revision 1 Title: don't install postfix by default anymore openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: postfix slows down system boot and runs on every installation even though it's not actually needed anymore on the average desktop. Even mutt can send mails without local mta nowadays. Therefore we shouldn't install postfix anymore by default. cron may need adjustments to report output of cron jobs via other means such as syslog. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312320
