[New: openFATE 309237] Bigger default panel
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 Jun '17

Feature added by: Mircea Kitsune (MirceaKitsune) Feature #309237, revision 1 Title: Bigger default panel openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Mircea Kitsune (mirceakitsune) Description: This is a minor change introduced in 11.2 which I believe Opensuse might have been better without. I find the default panel in 11.2 / 11.3 milestone 3 (KDE 4) a bit too small. It's closer to the Windows Taskbar's size, but for Linux I think the previous size was better (I like the default one in 11.1 personally). In my opinion, the current size is not only a bit uglier (the panel's too small compared to everything else) but also makes it harder to click on some buttons, like desktops which are vertically half the size of the pointer. Here are a few screenshots showing the default panel I'm addressing: http://www.linuxforu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/04-KDE4-Desktop.png -- http://jjtcomputing.co.uk/images/opensuse11.2-desktop.png I believe 35-40 would be a nice default size, the current default apparently being 30 (measured in units shown when clicking Panel Options and dragging the Height slider in 11.2). Of course everyone resizes it to their own like after installing Opensuse, so this hardly has any importance. Just a suggestion for what I believe would be a better default if anyone else agrees. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309237

[New: openFATE 314624] Re-implement the Section Management tab in YAST - Boot Loader for grub2
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 Jun '17

Feature added by: Mircea Kitsune (MirceaKitsune) Feature #314624, revision 1 Title: Re-implement the Section Management tab in YAST - Boot Loader for grub2 openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Mircea Kitsune (mirceakitsune) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Since grub2 became default for openSUSE, I upgraded to it from grub. Everything works well, but there's one inconvenience: The fields to modify and sort entries are gone from Yast -> System -> Boot Loader. It would be nice if this section could implement the same menu for grub2, so users with less experience don't need to hack configuration files to modify entries. For grub, there was a "Section Management" tab and a "Boot Loader Installation" tab in the Boot Loader window. When grub2 is installed, the first tab is gone, and only the second one exists. Here is a screenshot (not mine) showing the tab that existed for grub and is gone in grub2: http://i45.tinypic.com/lfpyq.png Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It would be nice if this section could implement the same menu for grub2, so users with less experience don't need to hack configuration files to modify entries. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314624

[New: openFATE 313119] provide a BD/ Blue Ray download image for openSUSE
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 Jun '17

23 Jun '17

Feature added by: Elmar Stellnberger (estellnb) Feature #313119, revision 1 Title: provide a BD/ Blue Ray download image for openSUSE openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Elmar Stellnberger (estellnb) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: A ready-to-download blue ray image of openSUSE would be a pleasure for anyone who has to work offline from time to time since it will allow you to do and install everything without an internet conncetion. Currently we only have a netinstall CD for backbone internet and a DVD as install medium for average internet connections. However a blue ray image to install and work completely offline - as this was initially possible just within the size of a DVD in the early days of linux (openSUSE 9.3) - would be of much greater value than a DVD providing not much more than a package cache for a minimized first-place install system. Such a blue ray could not only contain the full rpm-set of the core distribution but also important 2nd party repos like those provided by ATI, Nvidia and Packman as well as the most important repos from the BuildService like the SELinux repo for instance. Debian does already provide a fully-downloadable distribution image; however in the form of 8 DVDs + Update DVDs which may for sure be less practical than a single BD. However this seems to be considered much more a security feature in Debian. Mandatory for the Requester as certain working scenarios require a full system image for external or optical media. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313119

[New: openFATE 310964] Add YAST module to set up an OpenVPN server
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Jan Krings (liquidsky89) Feature #310964, revision 1 Title: Add YAST module to set up an OpenVPN server openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Jan Krings (liquidsky89) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Many people today use an OpenVPN server to access their personal networks or networks at work. The set up of an OpenVPN server is complex also, as several adjustments must be made at various points in the system. e.g. OpenVPN Configfile, SUSEFirewall, /etc/sysconfig Files. A module would make it easier to set up a OpenVPNserver. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310964

[New: openFATE 313030] AppSet instead of Apper
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Simone Dedo (Templare) Feature #313030, revision 1 Title: AppSet instead of Apper openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Simone Dedo (templare) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: AppSet http://appset.altervista.org/joomla/en can be the default package manager on openSUSE cause, is written in QT and other distribution such Archlinux and Chakra Linux (know for his addiction with KDE desktop). 1)Automatical generation of applications sections (games, office, multimedia, internet etc.) 2)An embedded web browser that shows selected applications homepages 3)An embedded feed reader that shows news from configured distribution 4)A Tray Icon that periodically shows available upgrades 5)The possibility to choose a touchscreen suitable and animated view 6)Administrator packages management (Upgrades, installs, removes applications) 7)Periodical packages database update 8)Checks dependencies contraints 9)Authentication structure that uses what is already installed to get administrative privileges (only when needed), searching from {kdesu, gksu, beesu, xdg-su or at least an xterm where it executes a sudo command} 10)Cache cleaner tool (to free disk space) 11)Can use ad-hoc libraries for a specific distribution or, like in default, it uses an already existing package manager CLI frontend 11)Requires only Qt libs as installation dependency What about? Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I believe AppSet can be a better package manager instead of KpackageKit or Apper (a new on openSUSE 12.1). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313030

[New: openFATE 314661] tcptunnel

Feature added by: Harri T. (haba713) Feature #314661, revision 1 Title: tcptunnel openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Harri T. (haba713) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hi! I suggest adding tcptunnel package to openSUSE distribution. As stated on a page http://www.vakuumverpackt.de/tcptunnel/ "Tcptunnel is a simple TCP port forwarder. This tool listens to a local TCP port and all the received data is sent to a remote host. It can be used to redirect TCP based protocols like HTTP, IRC, NNTP, SSH or SMTP." The source code is here: https://github.com/vakuum/tcptunnel It's a great piece of code! I've used it now for a couple of months in SLES 11 SP2 for SSH and MS Remote Desktop tunnels with no anomalities. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314661
