[New: openFATE 310300] Create sensible start pages for browsers
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Wolfgang Rosenauer (wrosenauer) Feature #310300, revision 1 Title: Create sensible start pages for browsers openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Wolfgang Rosenauer (wrosenauer) Description: The current start page for browsers is http://www.opensuse.org/. In my opinion the current content is not useful as a startpage which is kept by people. I would find a very small page with a possibility to search the net useful like the following examples: * http://www.google.de/firefox * http://start.ubuntu.com/10.04/Google/ * http://start.fedoraproject.org/ I don't want to promote Google but it's still the most popular search engine and what people mainly use. As part of this possible change I'd like to have an offline start page which can be loaded (at least) in Firefox when the machine is offline. Can people come up with something like that? Just an index.html with some more files probably installed in a location where other browsers can pick it up as well. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310300

[New: openFATE 309002] Ship openSUSE without xine
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Axel Braun (DocB) Feature #309002, revision 1 Title: Ship openSUSE without xine openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Axel Braun (docb) Description: ...instead offer the installation from packman by default. The suse-build of xine and some other multimedia stuff is crippled due to some licensing 'restrictions'. So with the standard suse installation it is fairly impossible to watch a simple .avi, as I just learned yesterday again after upgrading to KDE 4.4 As a consequence, no multimedia shuld be shipped with openSUSE. Instead, an installation from the packman repository should be offered for this, as packman stuff is known to work. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309002

[New: openFATE 308930] Restricted Drivers Manager
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

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

Feature added by: Mindaugas Baranauskas (embar-) Feature #308388, revision 1 Title: Automatically propose to install firmware or proprietary driver openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Mindaugas Baranauskas (embar-) Description: Ubuntu system's one nice tool: always notificates and proposes to install firmware and proprietary drive. OpenSUSE should also! Now, for example, openSUSE installs b43-fwcutter, but don’t inform, that I need to run /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware. Now OpenSUSE installs nv, but It would be nice to automatically notificate about possibility to install proprietary nvidia driver -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308388

[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

19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Bruno Friedmann (bruno_friedmann) Feature #310649, revision 1 Title: Adjust kernel choice automatically for server-based-install openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Bruno Friedmann (bruno_friedmann) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: As described here https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=613216 and discussed also here https://features.opensuse.org/309257 Selecting the kernel-desktop during a minimal-server-install lead to more works for admin. Can we just adjust the pattern, to select the kernel-default if 64bits install, or the kernel-pae if 32 bits. Test Case: See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=613216 Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Providing this smart choice to our advanced and/or admin users we show them that we understand what they want. "A minimal server text based install" Otherwise, the label is just wrong, isn't it ? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310649

[New: openFATE 310885] Use flash-player square for x64 instead of 10.1
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

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

[New: openFATE 311439] have a decent linear video editor
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #311439, revision 1 Title: have a decent linear video editor openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When searching why I still switch to Windows, I have little answers but two or three. 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

There is a existing kernel module for that (atl1e for Atheros AR8151), it can be found in file: AR81Family-Linux-v1.0.1.9.tar.gz (on first page when googled). I was a little stacked when i installed OpenSuSe 11.4 without network running. I encounter AR8151 NIC already on 2 newer devices so i think it will become really common.

[New: openFATE 311353] Move libvclplug_kde4lx.so library to libreoffice-kde4 package
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

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

Feature added by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Feature #311289, revision 1 Title: Let Dolphin open PERL documents in Kwrite openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Register Kwrite as the handler for application/x-perl . Test Case: Steps to reproduce 1) { h2xs -A -n Mytest; } 2) Tell Dolphin to navigate to Mytest . 3) Tell Dolphin to open Makefile.PL . Actual results 3. Dolphin is unable to find a handler for application/x-perl . Expected results 3. Dolphin should tell Kwrite to open Makefile.PL . Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Note: this is only an annoyance, since Kwrite is eventually called when the dialogue box is dismissed. However, Kwrite is perfectly capable of handling PERL code and I can see no reason why it is not registered as a handler for it. Also, I am told that Factory eventually offers to install mousepad . -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311289

[New: openFATE 311583] Graphical integration of LibreOffice in openSuse

Besides, I don't know if it's KDE or openSUSE but with Oxygen theme enabled, we got the old OOo documents icons on LibO start screen as in LibO menus. It would be better to integrate LibO filetype & modules icons or openSUSE-stylized/KDE stylized icons.

[New: openFATE 313168] Suggestion for making KDE4 base apps portable and stand-alone.

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

Feature added by: Gavin S (gav616) Feature #313220, revision 1 Title: Pin down 'ntp' function on installation openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Gavin S (gav616) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When installing 12.1 I select to use and sync with an NTP server near me, but after finishing the install process I check the NTP options in yast and 9 times out of ten all the options are changed. 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. Thank You. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313220

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! Use Case: destroyed system - easy recovering - keeping private stuff alive Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Because itÂ´s cool and I want it :D No seriously, because it would it make easy to our users to recover a system and keeping their stuff. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312257

These errors occur mostly when using media with multiple partitions. This request is to surpress these errors and only start one filemanagerinstance for the specific medium. These errors appear to be DE-agnostic, until now they show up in GNOME, KDE and Xfce on openSUSE 11.3. Use Case: Insert an usbstick (preferably with multiple partitions) and wait for the "automatic actions". Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: These errors are very confusing, especially to new users, since the device itself seems perfectly alright and usable (not to mention being opened in multiple filemanagerinstances). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311276

Feature added by: Rafael Belmonte (EagleScreen) Feature #312993, revision 1 Title: Install kernel-desktop from Live CD (GNOME and KDE). openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Rafael Belmonte (eaglescreen) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hello, actually OpenSUSE 11.4, and 12.1 install kernel-desktop from the standard DVD installer, at least if user choose to install a graphical desktop environment such KDE or GNOME. But I have found that Live CDs (GNOME and KDE) install kernel-default, this haven't got much sense for me. I think Live GNOME and Live KDE mediums should also install kernel-desktop by default instead of kernel-default. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Most of the people who install a system from a Live GNOME or Live KDE CD do it because they are installing in a Desktop computer, therefore kernel-desktop is better optimized by this kind of computers. How many servers will use the Live GNOME or the Live KDE mediums to install? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312993

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

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

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

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

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).
