[New: openFATE 308497] Update to GRUB v2
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 08 Dec '12

Feature added by: Jeff Mahoney (jeff_mahoney) Feature #308497, revision 1 Title: Update to GRUB v2 openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jeff Mahoney (jeff_mahoney) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Every single bug or feature that anyone has developed for GRUB 0.97 has been rejected by the upstream project in favor of using GRUB 2. There has been resisitence in the distribution community to switching boot loaders, but this stalemate isn't going to go away. The code itself isn't well written or well maintained. Adding a new feature involves jumping through a lot of hoops that may or may not work even if you manage to work around all the runtime limitations. For example, a fs implementation has a static buffer it can use for memory management. It's only 32k. For complex file systems, or even a simple journaled file system, we run into problems (like the reiserfs taking forever to load bug) because we don't have enough memory to do block mapping for the journal so it needs to scan it for every metadata read. (Yeah, really.) GRUB v2 has a cleaner design, is modular, and it has support for multiple architectures including i386, x86-64, and powerpc. Support for ia64 is said to be forthcoming. EFI support is already there. More importantly, it supports far more file systems and has native MD RAID and LVM support. Adding support for a new file system is much easier, cleaner, and has fewer limitations than with GRUB 0.97. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: * Supportability - upstream bug fixes and development community * Features - better fs support, native RAID and LVM support -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308497

[New: openFATE 312584] Connect calendar on news.o.o to connect upcoming events
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Nov '12

22 Nov '12

Feature added by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Feature #312584, revision 1 Title: Connect calendar on news.o.o to connect upcoming events openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently the news team manages upcoming events. Not everyone sends in new events - team meetings are usually there but openSUSE @ a conference almost never makes it. Connect however has a nice, easy to use 'event' system which IS used by the ambassadors already. Having these show up in the calendar on news.o.o would be awesome! It would also be useful for team meetings, of course, as well as all other openSUSE related events. Use Case: On Augst 6-12 in Berlin the Desktop Summit takes place and a lot of openSUSE people will be there. Create a event on connect and let everyone click "I will attend". Now on news.o.o this event shows up in the calendar and anyone can see who will be there from the openSUSE team! Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It lowers the efforts required to manage events by the news team. It also lowers the barrier for people to add events and makes sure more events show up. The calendar could also have a nice(r) view somewhere and attendance can show up on attendees' webpages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312584

[New: openFATE 311077] Themeing (SuSE-Elegant?)
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 08 Nov '12

Feature added by: Steffen Klein (sklein7) Feature #311077, revision 1 Title: Themeing (SuSE-Elegant?) openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Steffen Klein (sklein7) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hi What about changing the Default-Theme to SuSE-Elegant from Cristian Rodriguez? See http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/SuSE+Elegant?content=117251 + the there mentioned links for the look. At least providing a package for simple change of the various grub/boot/kdm/kde-screens would be neat. Regards, Steffen Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It might be a matter of taste, but I think it looks way cooler and more modern than the default greenish look while still providing a SuSE-specific style. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311077

[New: openFATE 308955] Thunderbird KDE integration
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

Feature added by: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) Feature #308955, revision 1 Title: Thunderbird KDE integration openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Would be great if the same sort of KDE integration could be applied to Thunderbird as with Firefox and OpenOffice. The interface in general with TB3 on openSUSE 11.2 actually looks fine using the default theme, but KDE file and helper application dialogs would be a big improvement. Even better if this could be included with the 4.3.5 online update or the possible openSUSE 11.2 KDE4.4 respin that I've heard rumours of. Use Case: Take my parents, using a KDE setup but with Firefox and Thunderbird as the two main non-KDE apps installed, for whom the existing GTK file dialogs completely throw them every time they need to pick a file attachment, or to open/save attachments sent to them. It is the only place on their system where they encounter non-KDE dialogs and they are confused. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I see Thunderbird and GIMP as the two other popular, key apps having a large cross-desktop userbase that could do with better KDE integration. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308955
