Feature added by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Feature #311318, revision 1 Title: Spark Instant Messenger openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The Mozilla Foundation provides live support for Firefox by means of an instant messenger called Spark. Let openSuSE have it too. Use Case: * An openSuSE operator is well-versed in Firefox. He would like to serve as a consultant for the Mozilla Foundation. The ability to do so requires installing Spark (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Helping%20with%20Live%20Chat) as an instant messenger client. * An openSuSE operator is a novice with respect to Firefox. He would like to ask a question. However, the he cannot use the Web client (https://chat-support.mozilla.com:9091/webchat/start.jsp?workgroup=support@w…) provided by Mozilla because his proxy server refuses to serve that connection. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: openSuSE provides Mozilla Firefox as the default browser. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311318

Feature added by: Jeremy Thornton (leebrad) Feature #310567, revision 1 Title: DEB/RPM Integration openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jeremy Thornton (leebrad) Description: Of course we all know that linux is great and a reliable system but the latest focus is trying to get new users to adopt it. Is it possible from a developer standpoint to integrate a system including packages like alien for deb etc, that would allow SUSE to user either deb or rpm packages or better yet introduce a brand new file type say .lnx for linux (easier since the intro for SUSE build service) to begin a movement that would allow packages to be cross compatible between linux systems so long as the kernel version is suppported? This would bring a unifying and innovative solution to a common issue for linux systems. Just an idea, I would like to see comments on its possibility. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310567

Feature added by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Feature #310609, revision 1 Title: Yast2 log search openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The system log viewer in Yast2 should allow searching and filtering the log. Use Case: My Connexant HSF (http://www.conexant.com/) modem driver is down since the latest kernel update (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2010-09/msg00003.html) and I was asked by Linuxant (http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf) support to identify the previous kernel. So I opened /var/log/YaST2/y2log (file:///var/log/YaST2/y2log) in Yast2 System Log window and I tried to look for kernel , but there is too much to read there and no search or filter function. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We want this because the system logs are long and it is tedious and time-consuming to review them in whole when you are looking for something specific. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310609

Feature added by: Philipp Niehues (cotrinox) Feature #312996, revision 1 Title: KDE window frame (the top bar) coloured openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Philipp Niehues (cotrinox) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I'd suggest making the window frame (the top bar) in a different colour, maybe green, if the window is active. Test Case: I saw that behaviour at other distributions like Mageia (there it is blue) and found it more usable. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The KDE window frame (the top bar) is grey if the window is active and grey if the windows is inactive. The difference is, that the text is grey or black. That is not as visible as it could be. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312996

[New: openFATE 312610] Include slab in 12.1 fallback
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 Nov '16

23 Nov '16

Feature added by: Anomyous Anomyous (jcat123) Feature #312610, revision 1 Title: Include slab in 12.1 fallback openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Anomyous Anomyous (jcat123) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: If you hold down the alt key and right click anywhere on the panels, you'll find it's the same stuff when it comes to customizing the panels and applets. Since slab is an applet and menu, it is possible to include slab with GNOME 3.2 if it retains fall back mode. Or at least include slab in the repos so it can be installed and one can tweak GNOME fallback to have it. It would be complementary to how Ubuntu included the Ubuntu Classic Desktop for those either unable to run Unity or didn't like Unity. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312610

Feature added by: Hans de Raad (hcderaad) Feature #311700, revision 1 Title: Show updates in authentication details openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Hans de Raad (hcderaad) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Show the packages to update in the details of the authentication dialog of the update applet, both for GNOME and KDE. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Currently, the update applet asks for authentication without providing any details as to which packages are updated, which are details i would like to know before entering the root password for any operation. To see this information currently i have to cancel the authentication request, open the update notification window and reopen the authentication. It would be much easier just to click on the Details option in the first authentication request dialog and then continue. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311700

[New: openFATE 313180] User Interface Flexibility

Feature added by: Michael McCarrey (wa7qzr) Feature #313180, revision 1 Title: User Interface Flexibility openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Michael McCarrey (wa7qzr) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Suggest that you maintain and support the 11.x versions along parallel lines with 12.x versions. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Having just upgraded my openSUSE-11.3 to 1.4 on my Compaq Presario V2000, and performed a test installation of 12.1 on another Compaq laptop of the same model, I would like to suggest that both versions, 2.x and 3x, of the Gnome desktop be made available and maintained. I can see how someone who is not real techie or geekie might appreciate how Gnome 3.x, by default, hides the system from them. There are no doubt a lot of people who really like that feature. For me, that "feature" is one of the reasons I dumped KDE4. I liked KDE3 because it didn't hide the system from me and, at that time, Gnome 2 did. Then, the situation changed. Gnome came out and KDE hid. Now, both KDE and Gnome are hiding with KDE4 and Gnome 3. I like Gnome 2.x with Compiz, Cairo Dock, and Screenlets. That's my interface and distributions that implement desktops which it impossible to use those three items (such as Gnome 3 does) end up losing me as a user. I'm sure that I'm not alone in this. Everything else about openSUSE, (I don't know about dual-head - I couldn't get it to work with Nvidia cards, but Mandrivia's 2010.2 did), is wonderful. It installs easily and the defaults work well with most hardware (Except Nvidia, where that idiotic Nouveau driver is used), including WiFi. Anyhow, this is about the desktop application. If you have no intention of making Gnome 2.x available to openSUSE 12.x, maybe you could maintain and support the 11.x along parallel lines so those of us who like Gnome 2.x could stick with openSUSE instead of having to change our lives (yet again) because our distro has tossed us under the proverbial bus. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313180

[New: openFATE 312241] Some post-installation steps in welcome window

Feature added by: m s (miki100) Feature #312241, revision 1 Title: Some post-installation steps in welcome window openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: m s (miki100) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I came up with a idea to add two simple steps to SUSEgreeter. These are installing NVIDIA proprietary drivers and multimedia codecs. I have even written it in C++ and libyui. This is my first serious C++ app, so don't blame me if it's crap ;) . My version of SUSEgreeter detects if nouveau drivers are in use and then proposes to install NVIDIA drivers (it downloads & runs http://opensuse-community.org/nvidia.ymp). The same with multimedia-it searches with zypper if any package with "codec" in name is installed, and if not it downloads one-click multimedia installer (it detects whether you are using KDE or not). Comments are really appreciated. We don't need to use my app, somebody can add it to original SUSEgreeter. You can download source here (http://www.mediafire.com/?d5fmf6w6bbrmmfm) and here (http://www.mediafire.com/?h6aonpva1bi6b28) is the compiled i586 rpm. And here is how it looks like: http://img.susepaste.org/56507867 (http://img.susepaste.org/56507867) . One last word: my version is SUSEGreeter (capital G), so it doesn't conflicts with the orginal. (BTW: If you deselect "Show this window at startup" and want to start it again, delete ~/.config/SUSEGreeter) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It can help new users to download & install NVIDIA drivers or multimedia codecs. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312241

[New: openFATE 311664] Add Recoll as default desktop search application

Feature added by: Bill P (google01103) Feature #311664, revision 1 Title: Add Recoll as default desktop search application openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Bill P (google01103) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: As Beagle is no longer actively maintained nor included in the standard repositories openSuse no longer provides a default desktop search application. Recoll would be a desirable replacement Reasons for inclusion: - actively developed - open source - QT based gui (though thought of as a KDE app it is QT) - Gui has a a list and a table mode (and kio and kreunner for KDE4) - indexing can be real time or manually initiated - light on cpu usage - well reviewed (see review links below) - many formats indexed Issues (noobie mostly) expressed in the forum here http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/455… and responded to by the develorer here http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/455… and here http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/455… Issues raised: - real time indexing is not automatically enabled - there is some set up for all indexible file types to be enabled Note: Appears to me that if the dev does a little regarding initial install options and the required ancillary packages are moved from contrib and KDE extra to the main repo it would be ready to go Linux desktop search reviews (recent and focusing on Recoll): http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/6-of-the-best-desktop-s… http://tuxradar.com/content/best-linux-desktop-search-tools http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/Comparison_of_desktop_search_software http://richfriedeman.com/2010/02/choosing-an-open-source-desktop-search-too… Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Because desktop search is useful and expected by many users and as of 11.4 openSuse does not provide a default application to provide this functionality for all desktop environments provided. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311664

Feature added by: Per Jessen (pjessen) Feature #311480, revision 1 Title: YaST: Tickbox for "Check for secure password" openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Per Jessen (pjessen) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: During installation, when the first user id created, I suggest we add a third tick box to the page. This one should read "Check for secure password" and be enabled by default. Hopefully that will avoid the pop-up window advising the user that cracklib-something is being loaded and whether to accept a password that doesn't comply with our password guidelines.

[New: openFATE 313130] Support btrfs RAID1 mirrored partitions
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Nov '16

22 Nov '16

Feature added by: Bat Pul (batpul) Feature #313130, revision 1 Title: Support btrfs RAID1 mirrored partitions openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Bat Pul (batpul) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In release 12.1 openSUSE adds support for btrfs. The btrfs filesystem supports several RAID configurations on the filesystem level. This is great since now it is no longer necessary to use Multiple Devices or other mechanisms to support RAID filesystems. Mirrored filesystems are a means to increase data reliability and read speed. However, btrfs mirrored filesystems are currently not supported during installation nor in yast2. Since it is not trivial to add such a filesystem to a openSUSE 12.1 system this is a useful addition. In addition there should be integrated support in openSUSE to detect and recover from situations where one partition fails which is part of a btrfs RAID1 filesystem. Use Case: It is far from trivial to accomplish integration of a RAID1 btrfs mirrored filesystem in the system. Such a filesystem can be created with: mkfs.btrfs -L mylabel -m raid1 -d raid1 /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb4 This filesystem can then be mounted with: mount /dev/sda4 /mnt However, after reboot openSUSE 12.1 fails to mount this again with the identical command. As a response it gives the following two unclear messages in dmesg: btrfs: failed to read the system array on sda4 btrfs: open_ctree failed The trick is to specify both devices as: mount -o device=/dev/sda4,device=/dev/sdb4 /dev/sda4 /mnt The fstab entry should then become: /dev/sda4 /mnt btrfs device=/dev/sda4,device=/dev/sdb4 1 2 Then after reboot the filesystem is mounted. Knowledge of these facts and integration of btrfs RAID options during installation and in yast2 would help. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313130

Feature added by: Amy Swanson (freespiritamy) Feature #313363, revision 1 Title: Mad Wifi repositories requested to be included with DVD install Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Amy Swanson (freespiritamy) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I think it would be good to include the mad wifi repositories as part of the yast system on the DVD install that you download from the site. In addition to the repository already being included.. have the mad wifi drivers be present as part of the start up install program so that in the event of an atheros card, or other card that uses the madwifi, being detected, these drivers are automatically installed upon detection... then no ethernet cable would even be needed. Use Case: I have had a couple crashes and every time I have to find an ethernet cable (something I don't normally use AT ALL) for my laptop, google and look for the wiki page that talks about the mad wifi repositories (so glad they have one) copy the URL and paste into my repositories, then look for everything related to my atheros card (mad wifi is the only think that will make it work). This process would be so much simpler if it would just be included from the start.. I'm sure that if I have this problem there are others that do also. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Would be much more efficient especially in this day when so many of us use laptops and only laptops. Ethernet cables are very inconvenient to have to use and look for just so you can get your wifi working... if the drivers are already there then this need is eliminated and the whole process is much more streamlined and trouble free, even enjoyable... then it should work out of the box for most folks. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313363

Feature added by: Roger Luedecke (Shadowolf7) Feature #312364, revision 1 Title: Qualcomm Gobi Wizard, making mobile broadband simple. openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Roger Luedecke (shadowolf7) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: My HP un2400 Gobi device is supported and should work. Whether it is due to USB mode switching or that the gobi_loader does not work correctly I do not know. There should be a simple wizard like that which ships under Windows (VZW connection manager) to allow me and other users in the same situation to easily make us of the Mobile Broadband we pay for. This is the final thing keeping me from wiping Windows off my netbook entirely. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Use of Mobile Broadband is not likely to decline, but rather increase with the proliferation of affordable increasingly powerful Netbooks. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312364

Feature added by: Eduard Avetisyan (dich) Feature #312972, revision 1 Title: zypper update license handling openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Eduard Avetisyan (dich) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: With every flashplayer or java update "zypper up" asks to confirm the license agreement over and over again. It would be nice if the license needs confirmation ONLY if it has changed since the last "Agreed" action. Making the "-l" option default is not a very good idea since sometimes the license may change in an unpredictable way, but if it's unchanged it gets really annoying. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312972

Feature added by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (RGBsuse) Feature #309007, revision 1 Title: Add more scientific packages Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (rgbsuse) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Right now, openSUSE have quite few "scientific packages". We have freemat on Education, xmgrace ... and a few more. But, for example, octave is only on Packman and SciDAVis is nowhere (for 11.2 at least). There are no packages for Scilab either, nor for PAW... Use Case: A physicist (or engineer) working on University that needs a good Linux distro for his/her work. Nowadays, even if openSUSE is more stable and reliable than fedora, the scientist will choose the later because its larger set of scientific packages. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To give openSUSE more presence on universities and research centers at "final user" level. Now openSUSE and its derivatives are found in clusters to run simulations (I've seen some of them) with ad-hoc programs, or in supercomputers, but not in the office computer for the single researcher. With its focus on stability, openSUSE could be the perfect "scy distro" but the few "heavy duty" scientific packages available is against this. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309007

Feature added by: Dan MacDonald (danboid) Feature #313146, revision 1 Title: Replace KDE NM plasmoid with wicd-KDE openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dan MacDonald (danboid) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Overall I have been greatly impressed with the KDE version of OS 12.1 and I feel this distro is 98% of the way to being the perfect desktop Linux distribution. There is just one dodgy app letting the side down and that is the KDE Networkmanager plasmoid. I'm sure the KDE NMP is fine for people who only use ethernet but it seems to suffer multiple problems dealing with wifi such as: * I seem to be to be able to connect to wifi networks OK if its the first time. After that it seems unwilling to connect to a network that has already been used - after a reboot for exanmple - even if 'Connect automatically' has been chosen. * Switching between access points/networks in unintuitive, in fact I still don't know how to do this using the NM plasmoid. Its usability stinks and I find its GUI overly busy, cluttered and confusing. * Will someone please just kill KDE wallet and related tech now please? I have never and likely will never want a password to access my passwords!! The whole idea seems dumb to me and unfortunately the KNMP has bought into this way of doing things. Thankfully, wicd stores wifi keys without any extra hassle of putting a password on your passwords passwords! :) I know that if I had not been a long-time Linux user who was not aware of the possibility of installing wicd-kde as a hassle-free, working and user-friendly replacement I would've very likely gave up hope on using opensuse. Like most other desktop users I need wifi to work in a easy and reliable fashion and this fundamental requirement is not fulfilled by the KDE Networkmanager plasmoid which should be replaced in the standard OS KDE distro by wicd-kde. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313146

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

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

While this is nice for newbies, it might be sort of a waste of time for experienced users. So why not add the possibility to configure common options that had to be set after installation at many different places otherwise? So here is an initial list of potential things to configure during installation: 1. Wallpaper 2. KDE theme 3. KDE Menu Style 4. Additional time zone 5. Numlock activated/deactivated at startup 6. Install proprietary stuff: drivers, codecs, fonts 7. Network: ifup vs. network manager 8. NTFS rw for any user 9. Bootloader configuration (especially startup order for dual boot/multi boot setups) This feature might be useful for every user who wants to customize or configure the system according to his needs. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313289

Feature added by: Stratos Zolotas (elksi) Feature #308930, revision 1 Title: Restricted Drivers Manager openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stratos Zolotas (elksi) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Restricted Drivers Manager (similar to Ubuntu's) for installing proprietary drivers especially for graphics cards. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Installation of binary graphics cards drivers should be more quick and simpler that the usual PMS approach. Also unreleased drivers (like it happens for the new version of Ubuntu) should enter the alpha and beta testing period. It will be a nice feature to provide updates for this drivers as well, through the same Restricted Drivers Manager. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308930

[New: openFATE 310811] Enable touchpad "tap click" by default
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Jimmy Berry (boombatower) Feature #310811, revision 1 Title: Enable touchpad "tap click" by default openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jimmy Berry (boombatower) Description: It seems in SUSE 11.3 the default setting was changed so that the touchpad no longer accepts tapping to click. At first I thought I had a driver issue or something was messed up. This is silly since everyone expects tapping the touchpad to result in a click, not to be ignored. One of the issues I think people have coming over to linux or even seasoned users such as myself is annoying or silly defaults. Right after installing SUSE I go through and change a load of settings, obviously much of which is user preference, but I have to be believe most settings I change to what people expect. Regardless enabling tapping on the touchpad is something we need. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310811

[New: openFATE 310819] Install Grub to MBR by default
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Armin Herbert (armher) Feature #310819, revision 1 Title: Install Grub to MBR by default openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Armin Herbert (armher) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When installing openSUSE 11.3, right before copying the files to disk, one gets to choose where to install Grub - on a partition or in MBR. Installing on a partition is the default. This leaves users who didn't manually enable this option with a fresh installation of openSUSE and no way to boot it, short of editing a boot cd's grub command line by hand and restoring it with YaST from the running system. It's a common mistake, for unexperienced users as can be observed on FreeNode:#suse, as well as for people who install openSUSE a lot but from time to time forget this option. Installing to MBR should be the default way to install Grub. Alternatively, provide a better UI that makes choosing mandatory and explains the consequences. A third way could be to check for an existing Windows boot manager which is capable of booting Linux. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We don't want new users who took the time to install openSUSE to be left with no way to boot their freshly installed OS. We want to support their curiousness and their courage to make this step should not be disappointed at the second time they boot. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310819

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

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: 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

Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Note: this is only an annoyance, since Kwrite is eventually called when the dialogue box is dismissed.

Feature added by: hal dawn (finders) Feature #313168, revision 1 Title: Suggestion for making KDE4 base apps portable and stand-alone. openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: hal dawn (finders) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Suggestion for making KDE4 base apps portable and stand-alone. KDE4 requires me to install apple device compatibility libraries and desktop search if I dare to install any KDE4 application on top of minimal X setup. (I'm not talking about patterns) I don't have any apple devices to use with my KDE4 desktop and I'm not interested in desktop search features, even less interested in social network integration. If I choose to install plasma desktop, kde session, dolphin, kmix, kwrite, ksnapshot and konsole... I'd expect it to install just these things that I asked for, not PIM, sql servers, zeitgeist, strigi and nepomuk. Certainly not libs for my non-existant iphone and my non-existant QR code reader. If I dare to remove any of these dependencies, I end up with broken KDE which should not be the case, I'm aware KDE4 can be built without them. Mandatory libs required for basic functionality should be merged into kdelibs4 package, the rest should be optional. (My opinion anyway) Bonus RPG quote : The Builder places thy challenges before thee as a stairway of hewn stone up the tower of thine life. When thou seekest to add to those challenges, to compass thine pride, thou dost clutter the design of the stairway, and introduce cracks and weaknesses, through which The Trickster mayest enter and bring thy ruin! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313168

Sometimes disciplined clock is there and the single ntp server I selected in the install process has gone, also the chroot option is checked or not. I propose that in the install process the simple tick box for 'use NTP daemon to sync you clock' This tick box would just add three ntp servers from the users location previous noted from the map above. Also maybe a check-box asking the user if they connect through a unreliable connection such as a WiFi which could enable/disable the 'disciplined clock' option.

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!

Feature added by: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Feature #312777, revision 1 Title: Provide a working pandoc in OSS Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: pandoc (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) is a Haskell (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Haskell_%28programming_langu…) implementation of Markdown (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Markdown) with numerous extensions and additional output formats. There is a package in devel:languages:haskell/openSUSE_Factory (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/haskell/openSUS…) , but that needs much more love (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=713301) pandoc seems important enough to fix it and get it out of its Haskgell ghetto into OSS. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: pandoc is probably the most advanced implementation of Markdown which makes the creation of advanced documents very easy. It would provide us with a simple way to create good documents in a multitude of formats. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312777

[New: openFATE 313224] Support for disks/raid >> 2,2TB

Feature added by: Hans Witvliet (digi_hans) Feature #313224, revision 1 Title: Support for disks/raid >> 2,2TB openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Hans Witvliet (digi_hans) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Does SuSE support disks/raids larger than 2.2TB? From current info it is unclear if SuSE supports this. Grub legacy (out-of-the-box) does not support it, as it should use GPT with 64-bit block numbers. It seems that there is a patch for grub, but it is unclear if that is applied to current (12.1) version of OpenSuSE. If so, then docu might be enhanced, as currently disks with a capacity of 3TB are COTS, and RAIDs with such capacity are comonly found. Other option, is the use of grub2, but that's another feature -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313224

Feature added by: Drew Adams (Druonysus) Feature #313317, revision 1 Title: Change the name "one-click install" to something more accurate openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Drew Adams (druonysus) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The name "One-Click Install" I s very missleading. Anyone who uses it *knows* what I mean here... there is far more than one click to install something with a "One-Click Install". So, I think we should recognize this and rename it something sane if we don not plan to fix it technically. A few names I have thought of are: Kick-Off Install Start Install Easy Install I am sure, given more time I can come up with others but I lean most toward Kick-Off Install. I think it is the most accurate. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313317

For the installation of graphics card drivers from the manufacturer. These appear in the repository often result in errors and critical system states. I think that when you install an option I should be asking whether to install the drivers or compile a formal closed. When chosen to be the official drivers are able to download the script itself from the pack, and compile the relevant modules into the kernel. Also, the appropriate settings in the xorg configuration. This is mainly on the users complain that they used Ubuntu. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312334

It would be nicer if it would take the data out of the update repo, to have an installed system which is up-to-date. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312964

[New: openFATE 312476] automatic daily fstrim for SSD

Feature added by: vincent lejeune (vlj) Feature #312476, revision 1 Title: automatic daily fstrim for SSD openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: vincent lejeune (vlj) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: As SSD are becoming more affordable they are also becoming more widespread on laptop and desktop computer. Modern SSD supports the TRIM functionality. This functionality delays costly erase operation to speed up performance ; these erase operations are then executed by batch (this is SSD equivalent to defragmentation). SSD can only run at their full potential if this functionality is also supported by kernel and/or userland on the OS. Sadly TRIM support by kernel is not optimal yet. Erase operation are not launched automaticaly and this impacts overall SSD performance. A cron script written at setup phase could launch fstrim program each night; this program performs the erase operation needed not to struggle the SSD. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312476

Right now, KDE is default even though it is obviously broken. Let's decide for each release, which desktop is the best working and give that one the honor of being the default. Which metrics to apply to decide which desktop is good working and which one is not is open to debate, we could go for things like "open bug count" for example. Maybe we should limit the selection to "general purpose desktops" and leave out the more esoteric ones like awesome, larswm and such, but decide at least among * KDE * GNOME * LXDE * XFCE Which are all full featured desktops ready for end users. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312959

For 12.2, the pretty green dones and the red faileds should be brought back to the boot process and the geeko logo should do more than roll it s eye a little.

Use Case: Especially challenging if you are in the middle of zypper updates and unsure how far along you need to do something else (even possibly come back to the machine. Knowing what percentage of the progress is completed would be useful. I don't think we want some other type of indicator (e.g. how much time left) because there's too many variables. But a percentage should be fairly straightforward. We know how many packages are to be downloaded/installed and how many are completed so far. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Makes use of zypper less intimidating to some users who feel they are at the mercy of a command that doesn't tell them how they are doing. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311697

[New: openFATE 311696] Auto-disable trackpad when external mouse detected

Feature added by: Bryen Yunashko (byunashko) Feature #311696, revision 1 Title: Auto-disable trackpad when external mouse detected openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Bryen Yunashko (byunashko) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Give the user the option to request the system automatically disable the trackpad on laptops when an external mouse (USB, Wireless, etc.) is detected. Use Case: In many cases, having the trackpad (which is usually ill-placed where your hands are supposed to rest) causes the typist to accidentally brush against it and cause typing errors. This is also a problem for some people with accessibility needs who require a different mouse and the trackpad can cause problems. Control Center offers an option to disable the trackpad in GNOME. (Not sure about KDE) but this is a problem if you do not always attach your mouse to your laptop. Then you have a disabled trackpad the next time you boot up. So it's not a very good workaround to this problem. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It would enhance the user experience. I'm told that Windows has this option (though I haven't used Windows in ages.) and I'm also told that other Linux distributions don't seem to have this feature yet either. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311696

Feature added by: Johannes Obermayr (jobermayr) Feature #310980, revision 1 Title: Monthly Qt updates openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Johannes Obermayr (jobermayr) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: KDE has monthly updates and mainly depends on Qt. Qt only has updates from time to time. If you have crashes with KDE apps which are caused by (resolved) Qt bugs (e.g. Â¹Â²) we push them (days/weeks/months/years/decades?) in front of us until a new Qt release. Since a roadmap and/or monthly releases are not relevant for Qt/NokiaÂ³ we should provide own monthly releases of specific current stable branch in KDE:Qt together with KDE in KDE:Distro:Factory (it _link/_aggregate KDE:Qt). May creating additional repositories in KDE:Distro:Factory and KDE:Unstable:SC building against a KDE:QtFactory repository which includes mentioned above "releases" could also do the job ...
