[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

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

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

Feature added by: Denny Beyer (lumnis) Feature #310981, revision 1 Title: openSUSE Software Portal openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Denny Beyer (lumnis) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Have you every heard or seen the openSUSE software portal? Why is it so well hidden on the website? This should be well visible and accessible through a much more prominent location, e.g. the iso software download page. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Users, especially new linux/oss software users need a good starting point to search for software that might help them. The software portal does that, it's a shame it's not more accessible. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310981

[openFATE 308151] https://features.opensuse.org/ needs user friendly CSS
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 May '15

17 May '15

Feature added by: Felix Miata (mrmazda) Feature #308151, revision 1 Title: https://features.opensuse.org/ needs user friendly CSS openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Felix Miata (mrmazda) Description: Details: 1-inadequate contrast many places. #000 on #FFF is only too contrasty for people with improperly adjusted displays. For those with correctly adjusted displays, and old displays with brightness and contrast already set to maximum anything less is easily too little. #363636 is marginal, #666666 much too light, for reading comfort with properly adjusted displays. 2-textarea and input fields reject keyboard cut & paste, and mouse operated cut & paste leaves unwanted extra newlines and unexpected focus location 3-fonts most places are too small. example: #main_content_wrapper and .medium-font should result in medium font, which is 1em, not 64% of medium, which is the usual physical result of font-size: .8em. 10pt, the size set on div.feature, is usually about 69% of the physical size of the most common browser default, not very friendly. Most knowlegeable web stylists know that sizing text in pt is a bad idea, as it and px totally disregard users' font size preferences.

Besides improving the feed functionality (see related request) it would also help a lot if Connect allowed for email notifications. Test Case: Comment in a discussion. If you, after that, receive mail about new comments, all is well. Use Case: Person X is engaged in a discussion in Connect. Thanks to the email notification she knows that there have been responses!

The functionality could be called 'Recieve email notifications' to enable it. A possibility to send an email to the group, as group owner, would be appreciated. The functionality could be called 'Send email to group'. Add above the different options in the menu on left side of group landing page would be nice, to be better differentiate the tasks.

17 May '15

Feature added by: Viraj Sinha (virajs07) Feature #313385, revision 1 Title: ownCloud Dolphin integration openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Viraj Sinha (virajs07) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: This plugin will enable kde users to sync their folders with owncloud with just a click in their file manager. The user will just right click on the folder he/she wants to share and a proper sync - desync option will come up in the menu which will enable the user to link/delink his folder with owncloud. Test Case: The user clicks on the folder to sync/desync it with owncloud but the folder doesn't get sync. This might be because there is no owncloud instance on the machine of the user. The user will be prompted to take the necessary actions then and will also have an option to report his error if it is an internal working error. Otherwise if everything is working then the user won't face much of a problem and successfully the option clicked by the user will be performed on the folder Use Case: 1) Achieve Goal The user right clicks on the folder or the file that he wants to share and gets the option of syncing/ desyncing the folder/file with owncloud alongwith the regular right-click options 2) Abandon Goal he user right clicks on the folder or the file that he wants to share and somehow doesn't get the option of syncing/ desyncing the folder/file with owncloud then the appropriate message showing error and cause of error is shown to the user with the option of reporting the error Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The present scenario in owncloud is if there is an instance of owncloud running on the machine then the user will need to login there . After logging in user will have to choose the files/folders he wants to share. If the user is browsing through his files he doesn't have the option of choosing it there only . He will have to come to his browser window and go to owncloud tab to share. This once implemented will make life easier for people using dolphin as a file manager -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313385

Specially we should be able to follow there all (or part) of the openfate activity.

Besides supporting pretty much every image, video and audio format, it would be handy if this application can also be a vidoe recorder, recoding directly to hard disk.

SUSE uses a wonderfully polished installer, however, the following features are either missing or I am not informed on how to use the following, which I think would be a great addition to SUSE distro and suse studio for the average or even small business user. 1. Install option as a Windows Application like Ubuntu; and, 2. Install easily onto a USB drive using utilities like Ubuntu and Fedora provide; 3. Create the SUSE Studio to look like the installer so that it easier to choose packages as if you were actually installing SUSE and then add the additional customizations needed. 4. Provide a backup utility like remastersys that works on SUSE providing a rebuild of a live cd for backup or distribution to friends, family, or colleagues.

Feature added by: Greg Freemyer (gregfreemyer) Feature #311442, revision 1 Title: A OneNote compatible tool is needed Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Greg Freemyer (gregfreemyer) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: One of tools I still need almost daily from a Windows perspective is OneNote. My company has adopted it as a note taking standard for internal projects. It is part of the Microsoft Office suite. Until a linux/opensuse/libreoffice/kde solution is provided, I have to rdesktop into a Windows machine to work with OneNote files. Note that I need a tool that allows collaboration with MS OneNote users, not a new tool that offers OneNote like functionality, but not OneNote on disk compatibility. That is OneNote is in part a collaboration tool that allows multiple simultaneous users to open a notebook. (Assuming the notebook is on a fileserver / share.) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311442

Feature added by: Sławomir Lach (Lachu) Feature #312475, revision 1 Title: Linux administrative toolkit Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Sławomir Lach (lachu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Create Linux administrative toolkit to provide multiple distribution administrative tool. This set should contains cli, cui and gui tools. Also prepare documentation of usability to help creating similar tools. Also add metapackage to install each tool from this set. Use Case: Alex is a student. On school he learn Common Linux administrative tool. He will install it on future work and won't teach a new administrative tools when changing work, etc. Peter works as repairer of computers. He will use the same administrative tools on each computer, so he offer to work only if user allow to install it. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Actually Fedora with other teams creating tools like PackageKit, PolicyKit, etc. That's great idea but some distribution have own administrative tools, so don't ships fedora's tool. Linux have some problems on accessing to school markets and allow to accessing some services, because no one set of administrative tools are existing. We have many tools, like smart, Yast, PackageKit, etc. but no promotional action, no set of this tool and no way to install it by few clicks. To make Linux market bigger we need push Linux into schools, but we need one popular set of tools to manage Linux desktop/server. Teachers can't believe students will use the same distribution on work or home, so Linux isn't popular in schools. I also in school teach Ubuntu and Fedora. On high-school i works on Debian. In home in only uses OpenSUSE. When administrator, student or teacher would install one common for many distributions administrative set of tools via one click employers would have less trouble with finding Linux administrators. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312475

[New: openFATE 312901] Add bumblebee for NVidia Optimus graphics support
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 May '15

05 May '15

Feature added by: Staffan Tjernstrom (staffantj) Feature #312901, revision 1 Title: Add bumblebee for NVidia Optimus graphics support Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Staffan Tjernstrom (staffantj) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee ------------------- ## About Bumblebee ------------------- Bumblebee aims to provide support for nVidia Optimus laptops for GNU/Linux distributions. Using Bumblebee, you can use your nVidia card for rendering graphics which will be displayed using the Intel card. Note that you cannot disable the Intel GPU even with Bumblebee installed. Support for enabling and disabling the the nVidia card is in development. Please refer to section 'Power Management' below. Currently, Bumblebee has only been tested on Ubuntu and Arch Linux. Please join #bumblebee channel on Freenode if you wish to help testing and creating the installer. ---------------- ## Installation ---------------- There are several ways to get Bumblebee: ### Using your package manager (recommended if available): If you were using an old version of Bumblebee (<2.3 non-Arch distribution), please run this the first time before switching to a newer version: 1. wget https://raw.github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/master/cleanup 2. chmod +x cleanup 2. sudo ./cleanup Ubuntu: 1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable 1bis. If you are on Ubuntu prior to 11.10 and want newer drivers (recommended) than the ones available in the official repos, run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates 2. sudo apt-get update 3. sudo apt-get install bumblebee Arch Linux: AUR package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49469 Instructions in the ArchWiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee ### Using the installation script: If you were using an old version of Bumblebee (<2.3), please run this the first time before switching to a newer version: 1. wget https://raw.github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/master/cleanup 2. chmod +x cleanup 2. sudo ./cleanup Then, you need to install VirtualGL > 2.2.1 (2.2.90 is advised) and nvidia driver. Tarballs can be found at https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/downloads Download the tarball named like bumblebee-VERSION.tar.gz, extract and install it: 1. Download 2. Extract: $ tar xf bumbleee-VERSION.tar.gz 3. Change your directory to the extracted folder: $ cd bumblebee-VERSION 4. (if you've previously installed Bumblebee < 2.3:) $ sudo ./cleanup 5. Run the installer: $ sudo ./install Installation instructions for getting the code from git: $ git clone git://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee.git Users who want to test the development code should run: $ git clone git://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee.git -b develop --depth 1 Then in order to install: $ cd Bumblebee $ sudo ./install --------- ## Usage --------- After the initial bumblebee installation, you need to add yourself to the 'bumblebee' group: $ sudo usermod -a -G bumblebee YOURUSERNAME Replace YOURUSERNAME accordingly and please double check the command, if you forget the '-a' option, you remove yourself from other groups. After adding yourself to the group, you need to re-login for the changes to apply. Applications can be started using bumblebee by prefixing it with optirun. For example, starting Firefox can be done with: optirun firefox -------------------- ## Power Management -------------------- Since 2.4, we added backend support for enabling/disabling the card. You should first read the following page: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/ACPI-Removed It will help you understand the current situation about Power Management. If you understand what that does mean, then, here is how to enable it. You need to install acpi_call module for your system. Ubuntu: available on the PPA. To install it, run: sudo apt-get install acpi-call-tools Arch Linux: AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39470 First, edit the 'bumblebee.conf' file and set power management to Y. You should also set STOP_SERVICE_ON_EXIT to Y: ENABLE_POWER_MANAGEMENT=Y STOP_SERVICE_ON_EXIT=Y Then, in the bumblebee conf dir, create the textfiles 'cardon' and 'cardoff' which should just contain the calls to respectively enable and disable the card. Each line should contain a call, comments are not allowed. Check 'bumblebee.conf' file comments on Power Management for more informations. After that, reboot (or restart daemon) to apply changes. ------------- ## Uninstall ------------- If you're unsatisfied with Bumblebee, you can remove it by running: $ sudo bumblebee-uninstall If you used a package version of Bumblebee, then use your package manager to uninstall. --------------------------- ## Reporting bugs/problems --------------------------- First of all: If you have any problem, please read this article: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/Reporting-Issues Then create a bug report package with the bumblebee-bugreport tool and open an issue on GitHub at https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues -------------- ## Developers -------------- The current developers for Bumblebee are: - ArchangeGabriel - Lekensteyn - Samsagax - paulvriens - Ximi1970 Check the https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/Developers page for developer information. ---------------- ## Useful Links ---------------- Status updates can be found here on twitter: https://twitter.com/Team_Bumblebee Commits are flooded here: https://twitter.com/Bumblebee_Git You may also join the facebook group: http://tinyurl.com/bumblebeefacebook Launchpad Team page: https://launchpad.net/~bumblebee Use Case: Lenovo Thinkpad W520 with NVidia 2000GT discrete graphics hidng behind Intel Optimus. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Currently there is no Optimus support in the distro (that I can see), and with more and more high-end laptops shipping with i2xxx Intel CPUs with NVidia / Optimus graphics cards, restricting those laptops to the drm'd Intel driver is quite a hindrance. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312901

Most go in to some space in the /usr/share. Require all books and manuals that do not have their own interface (such as KDE help or man pages) to install to one common e-book directory (/usr/share/ebooks?) and to create a symlink in users home directories (under Documents probably, or a new Books directory). Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: New users will see books or manuals and add the package, but not know where the files are.

The major problem to support this is that the wpa_supplicant is in /usr/sbin; it seems also to be difficult to move it to /sbin because of all the libs the wpa_supplicant is using. What would be required, is to extent the "supported_on_localfs" function to check this and start the interface in remotefs flow when 802.1x is enabled. That is, using remotefs on 802.1x authenticated interfaces would be not possible -- same as with NetworkManager. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305356

Citing sysctl/kernel.txt: 2 - Additionally enable heap randomization. This is the default if CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK is disabled. There are a few legacy applications out there (such as some ancient versions of libc.so.5 from 1996) that assume that brk area starts just after the end of the code+bss. These applications break when start of the brk area is randomized. There are however no known non-legacy applications that would be broken this way, so for most systems it is safe to choose full randomization. Systems with ancient and/or broken binaries should be configured with CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK enabled, which excludes the heap from process address space randomization. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313171
