Feature added by: Carlo Strata (carlo_strata) Feature #310982, revision 1 Title: Please add Lightspark as a standard avant-garde/forefront browser flash player Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Carlo Strata (carlo_strata) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I think Lightspark https://launchpad.net/lightspark is an avant-garde/forefront browser flash player with modern hardware support design and written from scratch. We could find it only on Packman repository, but both gnash and swfdec are in standard OpenSuSE repository (swfdec in Packman one too and in a more recent version). Are there too some language (flash, swf files) legal troubles? Carlo Use Case: Browser safer and efficiently with this plugin. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: If we could live free, but with a modern design plugin it's better. I'm tired to live with my CPU at least at 45% load with 64 bit flash player "Square" p3: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310982

[New: openFATE 314730] useradd -s should accept shell basename
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

Feature added by: Ned Ulbricht (ned_ulbricht) Feature #314730, revision 1 Title: useradd -s should accept shell basename openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ned Ulbricht (ned_ulbricht) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: This proposed feature is one possible way to deal with Bug 796242 - "pcsc-lite: preinstall scriptlet adds user scard with bad path for nologin shell". Currently, the absolute location of the executable for system users' shells is coded into rpm preinstall scriptlets scattered across packages throughout the distro. I propose centralizing that knowledge into useradd. Thus, for instance * useradd -s nologin newaccount * useradd -s dash newaccount would both be acceptable and would result in a lookup of the correct executable path before user account creation. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314730

[New: openFATE 314844] New Package group and focus on applications for public and private Libraries
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

Feature added by: Timothy Butterworth (timothy_m_butterworth) Feature #314844, revision 1 Title: New Package group and focus on applications for public and private Libraries openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Timothy Butterworth (timothy_m_butterworth) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: All, Please consider looking into a new user area in library management and automation software. As public libraries have existed for many years with the goal of bringing knowledge freely to the masses they also need to be up to date with technology as well. FOSS is a perfect fit as many active FOSS applications exist and many are being worked on by libraries. This could later become a new dedicated buisness unit. Here are some links regarding information on FOSS use in Libraries. http://foss4lib.org/decision-support http://foss4lib.org/packages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_free_and_open-source_software_packages… http://www.washoecounty.us/library/open_source.html http://www.libsuccess.org/Open_Source_Software http://evergreen-ils.org/about.php I am sure there are many more use cases than these as I compiled the list above quickly. Here is a good oportunity to expand the user community, developers and buisness as well. Libraries need a complex set of applications. It would be a great idea to create a survey to assist in locating popular software already being used that is spicific to library use for the new emphasis. Offering value added bundled applications for Integrated Library Management ILS, as well as other Library Management and Automation such as more advanced and easy to implement pay for printing services would be a great way to enter into this world wide market. Also almost all libraries now offer some degree of KIOSK service. Improving KIOSK management for example overwriting the home directory from a secure snapshot after use to remove any previous user data. Of course a good starting point is making the current FOSS Library specific applications available with a special emphasis by having its own package group and advertising there availability. I personally think this should not just be simply merged into the education spin but it could be added for school library management. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To expand FLOSS adoption into available markets that already have similiar goals. To share knowledge with those who may otherwise may not have the opportunity to enjoy the privledge of knowledge. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314844

[New: openFATE 312784] Replace Amarok with Clementine
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

Feature added by: Roger Luedecke (Shadowolf7) Feature #312784, revision 1 Title: Replace Amarok with Clementine openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Roger Luedecke (shadowolf7) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Clementine is a KDE music player based of the old 3.x Amarok. Clementine boasts a more intuitive interface, that is easier to use on small displays. It also includes a robust visualizer implementation for those of us who enjoy them. The ease of use, superior performance and stability, and the stronger feature set make Clementine a clear choice to replace the buggy and unstable Amarok. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Amarok is difficult for new users coming from Windows of Gnome. Also, no other player has robust visualization like Clementine. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312784

Feature added by: Thiago Sayao (sayao) Feature #309697, revision 1 Title: drop radeonhd in favor of radeon driver openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Thiago Sayao (sayao) Description: I appreciate the work done with the radeonhd driver, but currently the radeon driver works better for me (radeon HD2600 PRO cad). Benefits of the radeon driver (for my card, don't know about others): - KMS (would look nicer if opensuse uses plymouth); - Better 3D support; - Faster video; - HDTV support with sound (has a bug that sound only outputs on one connector, but works) Compiz works nicely :) With the radeonhd driver, video is very slow, no KMS, no 3D, Compiz does not work, wrong resolution is detected. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309697
