[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 315011] Native Android Application for openSUSE News and Planet

Feature added by: Rajul Bhatnagar (rajulbhatnagar) Feature #315011, revision 1 Title: Native Android Application for openSUSE News and Planet openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rajul Bhatnagar (rajulbhatnagar) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: openSUSE News and Planet are a great way to keep tabs on whatâs going on in the openSUSE world and Mobile, with Android leading the way becoming is becoming an important form factor to consume media. This makes it essential to provide a Native experience to consume this media. My vision of a Native openSUSE News/Planet app. Itâs said that a picture speaks more than a thousand words so I would like to use mockups to explain the direction I would like to take with the app. * Landing Page :- <div> <img style="width: 20%;float: left;" src="http://utopiadevelopers.com/gsoc/images/homepage.jpg" /> <div style="width: 80%;float: left;"> The user is greated with cards giving a preview of the news article like on the actual pages. These cards will be aggregates from both openSUSE News and Planet and would be based on filtering options selected by user like filtering posts from particular authors or posts matching certain tags because on Mobile you do not have time to sift through all the information so filtering options are very important to provide the most relevant information. If the user is not signed in the service will remember user preference based on Device Id. If the user wants his preferences across devices he will have to sign in using his openSUSE News or Planet Ids. He will also need to be signed in for sharing and commenting. The handle at the top right of every card is to provide per card options of sharing and for quick commenting on posts. The handle in the Actionbar is for changing between predefined filtering options and built-in filtering options like By Date, No. of comments etc and user defined filters. </div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> * Sliding Menu: - <div> <div> In App Navigation would be facilitated with the help of a Sliding Menu, the implementation of which will be based on this (http://simonvt.github.io/android-menudrawer/) library by Simon VT. I prefer the edge swipe implementation like the Google+ App. This will provide navigation to o Login: - To login using openSUSE News or planet Ids. o News :- Will change filtering to only show articles from openSUSE News o Planet :- Will change filtering to only show articles from openSUSE Planet o Filter: - To create user defined filters based on existing Tags and Categories. o Settings: - For user preferences like enabling Notifications, Restrict syncing to WiFi only etc. o About Page o Logout: - If signed in to logout. </div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> * Â· News/Planet Article Page :- <div> <img style="width: 20%;float: left;" src="http://utopiadevelopers.com/gsoc/images/article.jpg" /> <div style="width: 80%;float: left;"> An Article can be opened by clicking on the Card or Clicking on Read More. The user can navigate the article by scrolling down. I am avoiding horizontal scrolling because it could hinder the sidebar Navigation. </div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> * Notifications :- <div> <img style="width: 20%;float: left;" src="http://utopiadevelopers.com/gsoc/images/notifications.jpg" /> <div style="width: 80%;float: left;"> I think itâs very important for a News App to inform the user when relevant information is posted. These rich Notifications are only possible on Jellybean but we can fall back to normal notifications on older android versions. The user can use the Quick actions to share this article or quickly post a comment if he is signed in. Tapping the notification will take him to the article Page. </div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/315011

[New: openFATE 310661] better facility to search for bugs
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 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

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.
