[New: openFATE 314868] Add Smart GUI Monitor Application
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 May '15

Feature added by: Stanley Miller (stan_qaz) Feature #314868, revision 1 Title: Add Smart GUI Monitor Application Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stanley Miller (stan_qaz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: This GUI version has been around for a long time but only exists as an unstable version: gsmartcontrol - Hard disk drive health inspection tool GSmartControl is a graphical user interface for smartctl (from smartmontools pac kage), which is a tool for querying and controlling SMART (Self-Monitoring, Anal ysis, and Reporting Technology) data on modern hard disk drives. It allows you t o inspect the drive's SMART data to determine its health, as well as run various tests on it. http://software.opensuse.org/package/gsmartcontrol ------ It would be nice if this could be reviewed and possibly promoted to a stable status and included in the stable repository and possibly even installed by default and an entry added to the System - Monitor menu. Use Case: SMART is very useful in checking your disk health and current status but openSUSE only offers a command line version that isn't simple to use. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The GUI version is much easier for a novice to find and use. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314868

[New: openFATE 314893] Support size check for product builds

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #314893, revision 1 Title: Support size check for product builds Buildservice: New Milestone: 2.5 Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stephan Kulow (coolo) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: OBS/kiwi shall offer a configuration to fail builds when they become large than X. The check makes sense in kiwi itself, OBS needs to extend the product converter. We should offer to specify either size in numbers or by defining the media type (CD, DVD, DVD+R, DVD-R, bluray). Marcus, can you define how this should look alike in kiwi xml? Or shall we use the product specific extenstions for this only? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314893

[New: openFATE 309503] Beautiful one-click-install
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 01 May '15

Feature added by: Cornelius Schumacher (cschum) Feature #309503, revision 1 Title: Beautiful one-click-install Requested by: Cornelius Schumacher (cschum) Description: Garrett made a great <a href="http://ux.suse.de/~garrett/public/hackweek/oneclick/mockups/oneclick-mockup…">mockup</a> for a much more beautiful one click installer some time ago. It would be great to get this implemented. I think it could be done with a small Qt application which uses libzyppe or PackageKit or something like that as the backend to do the actual installation. I won't be able to spend much time on it, but Will said he might be interested. Maybe also one of the YaST guys could join, e.g. Michael Andres. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309503

[openFate 305356] 802.1x authentication on wired network using YaST via wpa_supplicant
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Apr '15

22 Apr '15

Feature added by: Marius Tomaschewski <mt(a)novell.com> Feature #305356, revision 1, last change by Title: 802.1x authentication on wired network using YaST via wpa_supplicant openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Marius Tomaschewski <mt(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Some networks using 802.1x authentication on metallic Ethernet and I think it would be cool have a possibility, handle this connection type using YaST. 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

[New: openFATE 314850] Ability to create encrypted partitions without using LVM
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Feature added by: Maciej Pilichowski (truemacias) Feature #314850, revision 1 Title: Ability to create encrypted partitions without using LVM openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Maciej Pilichowski (truemacias) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: With no LVM OS installer is too strict when it comes to choose what partitions can be encrypted. From technical POV only /boot partition really has to be left not encrypted but for the rest -- as root, /var, /usr it can be done. So please provide this option in installer. Current lack of support is strange and limits power of the Linux capabilities. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314850

[New: openFATE 313171] enable full heap randomisation
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 27 Feb '15

27 Feb '15

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #313171, revision 1 Title: enable full heap randomisation openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: set kernel.randomize_va_space=2 to enable full heap randomisation. 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
