[New: openFATE 308445] Tor is not working out of box

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.

[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

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

[New: openFATE 310652] Have an Etherpad install on openSUSE infrastructure
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Feature added by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Feature #310652, revision 1 Title: Have an Etherpad install on openSUSE infrastructure openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently the marketing team in particular makes use of lots of piratepad's to work collaboratively on articles, announcements, plans and other things. Wiki's don't offer the ease and real-time collaboration features needed so piratepad is perfect. Except that it isn't. Piratepad has some serious issues (see "Why do we want this?"). So we would like to have an Etherpad install on openSUSE infrastructure. Having our 'own' Etherpad instance on an openSUSE server would solve these issues. Even just having it as a SUSE Studio virtual image so it can be run somewhere would be good enough. In general, the openSUSE servers are pretty dependable and even when not, we know who to ping to solve problems. Use Case: Usecase would be pretty much half the work the marketing team does - writing announcements, articles, planning... Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The current 'solution' to use Piratepad has a bunch of issues: Stability is a big one - Piratepad is down quite frequently, sometimes for a whole day, making our work difficult. Another serious issue is oversight. We can't see what pads we have, resulting in lost pads (and the work we put into them) and duplication of efforts. Then there is the lack of control. All piratepads are fully public - but we have sometimes things we'd like to keep under the lid like announcements we are working on, articles, board things etcetera. Etherpad provides access control which would help us immensely. Part of that control issue is the ability (or lack there off) of deleting pads - we can't do that on Piratepad. Finally, we don't OWN Piratepad. If it went away RIGHT NOW, we would loose MANY important articles, announcements and other good work. It would be a small disaster for the marketing team and it's getting potentially worse as we do more and more work on Etherpad. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310652

[New: openFATE 308899] allow repository specification in project meta xml

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #308899, revision 1 Title: allow repository specification in project meta xml Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Description: We have currently to set Type, Repotype and Patterntype in project conf data. That makes it hard to add an images repo easily with a gui that works.

[New: openFATE 310922] central system user registry
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Feb '18

12 Feb '18

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #310922, revision 1 Title: central system user registry openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Once upon a time all systems users were defined in aaa_base via the default /etc/passwd file. When the uid space below uid 100 got too small a new dynamic range between 100 and 499 was introduced. So nowadays packages dynamically create a user in %pre which gets a random uid in this range. Disadvantage: uids are different on every system. Usually this is not a problem but for programs that export files over the network it is. TV recordings made by VDR for example. useradd has a --preferred-uid option for such cases. It's possible to specify a uid and useradd tries to use it. If it's already taken another one is chosen. Thefore I'd propose to leverage that feature: - introduce a central uid registry for system users, e.g a file in aaa_base - lower SYSTEM_UID_MAX (/etc/login.defs) to e.g. 349 and assign "preferred uids" in the rage 350-499. - change useradd calls in packages to a macro that transparently decides whether a preferred uid needs to be used. Use Case: - two systems running vdr, one for recording, the other one for playback on a TV want to share recordings via nfs. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310922

It turns out, that's because it only installs .tar.gz files and a number of the themes listed are in other formats. So the "Get New Themes..." popup should only show files it can actually install. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310680

This would allow the user to conveniently remove unwanted packages automatically chosen for installation, add another package, etc. This is especially needed if it is difficult to work one's way to the solution (in case of many dependency problems, e.g. during an upgrade). Removing, adding, and keeping an installed version of a package could be implemented as part of this feature request first. Further enhancements can be done later. Use Case: During a dist-upgrade, user goes through a lot of solver problems. Then sees something unwanted in the summary. Currently the only solution is to quit, lock a package or change some command line options, restart the dist-upgrade and go through all the painfull solving again. With this feature the user would have a good chance of changing the summary in a convenient way. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310706

[New: openFATE 310787] Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT) Support
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 10 Sep '17

10 Sep '17

Feature added by: Joseph Cihula (jcihula) Feature #310787, revision 1 Title: Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT) Support openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Joseph Cihula (jcihula) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT) provides a hardware dynamic root of trust for measurement (D-RTM). Intel TXT can be used to reduce the trusted computing base (TCB) of system SW such as an OS kernel or hypervisor/VMM. TXT provides platform configuration protection such as memory aliasing checks, register locking, etc. It also provides reset protection via a hardware memory lock and memory scrubbing. In multi-processor systems, Intel TXT strengthens the RAS capability through CPU-rooted measurement of the BIOS and hardware-enforced protections of RAS events. Finally, TXT provides for a platform owner -controlled launch control policy. Intel TXT support consistes of two parts: kernel/VMM enabling and the tboot package. Kernel support involves building the Linux kernel (>= 2.6.35) with the CONFIG_INTEL_TXT flag set. This will also enable it for KVM. The default Xen build already supports TXT. Linux/Xen support actually assumes that TXT is "managed" through the Trusted Boot (tboot) module and thus, the tboot package is also needed for complete support. Tboot is an open source, pre-kernel/VMM module that uses Intel TXT to perform a measured and verified launch of an OS kernel/VMM. Use Case: 1) Disk encryption 2) Hardened local key storage/operations 3) Remote attestation Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Enabling Intel TXT in the kernel/VMM will increase the trust and value of the above usage models. And the same value proposition that TXT has for Fedora also applies to openSuSE: http://lwn.net/Articles/382363/ TXT also compliments the OpenTC work being done by/with SuSE. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310787

Feature added by: Erik Luijten (luijten) Feature #307747, revision 1 Title: autokey Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Erik Luijten (luijten) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I very much would like the autokey package (currently only on Ubuntu) to be included in openSuSE.

Feature added by: Tristan Miller (psych0naut) Feature #308428, revision 1 Title: kuickshow for KDE 4 Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Tristan Miller (psych0naut) Description: Kuickshow is a popular image viewer for KDE.

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #313088, revision 1 Title: allow patches that uninstall packages openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: suppose security flaws are discovered in some leaf package that we cannot fix for some reason. We need a way to tell users of that package that they better uninstall the affected package. Previously we would have "solved" this by releasing a new version of the package without files. This is a rather ugly hack though. What we need is a special patch that when selected uninstalls the listed packages without causing e.g. packagekit to choke. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313088

[New: openFATE 313047] Show screenshots to help user choose which desktop to install

Feature added by: Richard Brown (RBrownCCB) Feature #313047, revision 1 Title: Show screenshots to help user choose which desktop to install openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Richard Brown (rbrownccb) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently, when the user chooses the type of Desktop they want to install they are presented with a rather 'boring' menu with lots of text, describing a little about GNOME, KDE, and how they get to choose I would like to see screenshots, possibly even a slideshow, of at least GNOME and KDE if not XFCE & LXDE for users to see and help them make their choice about which desktop environment they wish to install. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We have KDE selected by default, covering the 'I don't care/know just let me install this thing' userbase More advanced users probably have enough knowledge that they never read the text and already have their decision made and go straight to their DE of choice But I think we currently do a disservice to an important demographic of inquisitive users who want to choose but might not have the information yet to make one Right now, a user who doesn't know what GNOME or KDE looks like get nothing from our installer, they have to install it, try it, and if they dont like it, install the other one.. I'd argue this inquisitive demographic of users is one openSUSE is brilliantly placed to serve, as we offer so many options, so let's make it a little easier for them to make an initial choice they will be more likely to like from day 1 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313047

Nowadays more and more people use it and we'd like to extend it with more features. Unfortunately, this getting harder because all spec-cleaner does is some clever text replacement. We'd need a parser to do some advanced magic so I decided to give it a try and rewrite it in Ruby (which has support for regexeps directly in its syntax and neither me nor Vincent would like to use Perl :-)). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312823

CDs are out, I think ;-) So you would get more feedback for packages, which are not tested by standard gnome- or kde-only live cd testers - and may be, computer magazines are interested too. It`s not so simple to build and solve all dependencies via kiwi for people, not bound in suse or novell, because anything was changed every week ;-) If not possible because of storage size, so may be you can provide periodically a big kiwi konfiguration file(or only for a released openSUSE) with solved dependencies. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306757

[New: openFATE 311117] Team activity vote.
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Aug '17

Feature added by: yfjiang Jiang (yfjiang) Feature #311117, revision 1 Title: Team activity vote. Hackweek VI: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: yfjiang Jiang (yfjiang) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We intend to implement a web-based application to allow people managing a customizable polling system, as well as showing convenient statistics of the voting results in both web page and download-able odf format. We call the tool 'Snoek'. Use Case: Shuang wants to organize a team building and bring people for dinner after that. She logs into Snoek and create a new team building activity with proper summary like 'Team building in August 2011'. Except for the basic description of the activity, in the activity creation page, she also needs to create a deadline for the activity. After that, polls needed to be defined for the activity: Pool 1 - Which game do you want to play in team building? option 1. option 2. option 3. Poll 2 - Where do you want to go have dinner after team building? option 1. option 2. option 3. Poll 3 - Which food do you prefer to have in the dinner? option 1. option 2. option 3. Then Shuang submit the activity and send mail to related people to ask them vote before deadline. After deadline Shuang revisited the activity page she created, and the tool will show her the number of people voting stats, which could be the basis of choice for team building and dinner. She can finally export the data into odf format. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Some times, we need statistics of internal preference of choice to, for example, where do we want to go team building? what size of t-shirt do people want in hackweek? which restaurant do we want to go dinner? These kind of stats can be only done manually at the moment, which could be painful and the questionnaires are usually not re-usable. We target to bring convenience typically described in the user case description section. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311117
