[New: openFATE 310831] Bépo keyboard layout - «first class citizen»

Feature added by: Pierre Ducroquet (Pinaraf) Feature #310831, revision 1 Title: Bépo keyboard layout - «first class citizen» openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pierre Ducroquet (pinaraf) Description: Hi The usual qwerty keyboard layout (and similar layouts like qwertz, azerty...) are known for being suboptimal. Better layouts are available, like dvorak. These layouts are often tied to a language : dvorak is better for english, while french users will prefer bépo. On my system, I only use a bépo keyboard, that is not supported at all in the OpenSUSE installer, making it really painful to use. It would be a simple but nice addition to have bépo support in Yast. OpenSUSE would then be probably the only distribution providing that feature, and I don't think it costs much to include a new keyboard layout on the CD/DVD. Thanks -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310831

Feature added by: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) Feature #308320, revision 1 Title: YMP YaST Workflow openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) Description: If you click on a YMP link firefox opens a window[1] asking you what you want to do with that link, suggesting to let the meta package handler handle it. You click okay from which another window[2] opens, the download manager of firefox. After it is finished an new window[3] pops up asking you the initial questions about the YMP handling. Which repos to subscribe to and which package to install. If you okay twice yet another window[4] opens asking me for the root password to start the package manager. Which is another window[5]. If there is a new repo in the YMP that you did not have before it will open a window[6] asking you to import the signing key. Somehow i doubt that this many windows are neccessarry. For a workflow that is desinged for the stupid user this should be improved imho. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308320

[New: openFATE 314461] gnu parallel
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 08 May '13

Feature added by: Guenter Grau (ggrau) Feature #314461, revision 1 Title: gnu parallel Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Guenter Grau (ggrau) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When I discovered GNU parallel it quickly became an indispensable tool for all my scripting. Beside fixing issues with "argument list too long" (which could be solved with xargs) it is very useful to utilize multiple cores or even machines on the script level (I use it to form a simple compute cluster). Since it is universal and simple to use, I wonder why it didn't become part of openSUSE long before. http://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/ -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314461

Feature added by: Narayansamy S (vazhavandan) Feature #314612, revision 1 Title: Implement GNOME SUSE Greeter openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Narayansamy S (vazhavandan) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Provide a GNOME greeter for GNOME desktop similar to KDE greeter Ref:-http://paste.opensuse.org/42507599 The GNOME greeter should provide information similar to KDE greeter like explanation about:- ==>openSUSE Project ==>Community Support ==>Build Service etc: The new GNOME greeter if implemented should also be easy to turn off through gnome-session-properties.

[New: openFATE 310041] HP 3D GuardDrive

Feature added by: Dimitar Popov (dimitar_popov) Feature #310041, revision 1 Title: HP 3D GuardDrive openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Dimitar Popov (dimitar_popov) Description: I wish openSUSE to supply a daemon, which uses the /dev/freefall to provide hard disk head crash protection. There is an example application in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/hwmon/hpfall.c which might be used as a base for such a daemon and the needed modules (hp_accel and lis3lv02d) are present in kernel 2.6.31. I think this is an important feature for HP laptop users. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310041

Feature added by: belal mandurah (belal_mandurah) Feature #308557, revision 1 Title: Easier Network configration openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: belal mandurah (belal_mandurah) Description: There are lots of confusing settings when setting up a network and they are in diffrent location to edit (smb.conf, netbios name, host name, domain name, workgroup name, ports, allowed services ... etc) It is really frustrating when you cant access shared files, especially for home users. I suggest that there should be an easier way to configure a network , perhaps a wizard. something that maybe look like M$ wizard when setting up a network. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308557

Releasing a new openSUSE version on a previous kernel version can really limit it's use/life and adoption. Please consider switching openSUSE 12.3 to release with the newest kernel 3.8. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314856
