[New: openFATE 308467] Proprietary install driver HELP guide
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Feature #308467, revision 1 Title: Proprietary install driver HELP guide openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Description: A constant criticism of openSUSE is the lack of an easy continuous installation of proprietary graphic drivers. Is it not possible to post specific (and very obvious) help links to community wiki that provides guidance as to how the proprietary graphic drivers can be installed (as opposed to just a general statement) ? i.e. a link for community help page for ATI proprietary graphic drivers and a similar one for nVidia proprietary graphic drivers. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308467

Feature added by: Carl Fletcher (caf4926) Feature #314592, revision 1 Title: Include Razor-qt Desktop to the Install options openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Carl Fletcher (caf4926) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: razor-qt provides a kde3 like experience. It is low on resources, has a familiar and friendly feel in use. It would be nice to see this along side the 'other' desktop options. Or at the very least, as a Pattern with a Meta package in Software Manager. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It is low on resources, has a familiar and friendly feel in use. It will fill a large kde3 hungry user base -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314592

[New: openFATE 316842] grub2 configuration in Yast2

Feature added by: Ulf Michel (ulfmichel) Feature #316842, revision 1 Title: grub2 configuration in Yast2 openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ulf Michel (ulfmichel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: grub2 can in principle be configured to remember the last selected operating system, but this is no option in Yast2. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I am convinced that this is the configuration most users would prefer. After every new installation I have to do this by hand editing /etc/default/grub with changing GRUB_DEFAULT=saved and adding GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true and then updating grub by grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316842

[New: openFATE 316767] gfxboot-branding-openSUSE - Bring the penguins back
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Alan Bortu (alanbortu) Feature #316767, revision 1 Title: gfxboot-branding-openSUSE - Bring the penguins back openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Alan Bortu (alanbortu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: After reading the thread on the opensuse help forums, I thought it would be a nice idea to propose bringing the penguins. What I mean by this is that sometimes, in grub on special dates the boot loader graphics will change at a random boot to one that features a bunch of penguins in wearing some Christmas hats and doing general penguin things. I know it might seem silly and worthless but I just thought it would be a nice thing to propose just for the sake of fun. If you still dont know what I am talking about please see the picture here: http://oi40.tinypic.com/2w1y23c.jpg Test Case: 1. Power on system 2. Wait for grub to display its boot options 3. Display the penuin graphic instead of the default graphic Use Case: When the user boots up their system the boot loader, on a random boot interval will display the graphic linked in the description instead of the default one that comes with openSUSE. It should be random during the month of December and after the 25th it should stop showing. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I think its just a nice easter egg for the distro to have, I know that it serves no practical purpose but I do think it is important for distros to have fun little things like this that (hopefully) don't take too much work to maintain. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316767

[openFATE 308202] Speech recognition
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Daniel FAIVRE (geomaticien) Feature #308202, revision 1 Title: Speech recognition openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Daniel FAIVRE (geomaticien) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Linux and therefore OpenSuSE desktops still lacks speech recognition. Despite nearly everything else is better than under the dark side of Operating Systems ... Some progress were made in open source recognition engines and therefore progress in their desktop integration become a desired feature for a growing number of users. Such a feature requires a full desktop integration and the ability to recognize the dictation of a text in any text editor. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Speech recognition is integrated to windoz desktop since windoz fista, and that is a very cool feature and an accessibility important asset. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308202

[New: openFATE 311011] Boot option "toram"
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Matti Vahalinna (Waxborg) Feature #311011, revision 1 Title: Boot option "toram" openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Matti Vahalinna (waxborg) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I've long been amazed about the speed of DamnSmallLinux on a low spec machine when run completely in RAM. I've also seen that this is possible with Gentoo and Ubuntu nowadays. I would love to see this feature in openSUSE Live. This would greatly also improve the impression that new users get when they try out the Live system. So you boot from the Live media and give it an option 'toram' after which a RAM disk is created, the system is copied there and then it is run completely from there. -- Vahis -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311011

[New: openFATE 310005] ask for root password once per-session
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Thiago Sayao (sayao) Feature #310005, revision 1 Title: ask for root password once per-session openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Thiago Sayao (sayao) Description: It would be nice to just ask for the root password once per-session. For security it would be valid only for the session for X minutes. When into the X minutes after the password is entered the request for authentication would just have the "Cancel" and "Continue" buttons, the password field would be hidden because the password would be still valid. When the X minutes expires, the system would as for the password again. Variations of this method are accepted, but it is annoying to have to enter the password a lot of times when configuring things or installing packages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310005

[New: openFATE 310945] extend chkconfig to dbus services
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #310945, revision 1 Title: extend chkconfig to dbus services openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: chkconfig can be used to enable/disable init scripts and [x]inetd services. e.g. chkconfig vsftpd on -> disable xinetd config and turns on vsftpd init script chkconfig vsftpd xinetd -> turns off init script and enable xinetd config chkconfig vsftpd off -> turns off init script and/or xinetd config A similar mechanis could be used to manage dbus system services. Currently there is no way to turn off dbus system services. As soon a package drops a file in /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/ the service activates on demand. Also, some can be started either via init script or via system bus activation. Examples are avahi or hal. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310945
