Feature added by: Mircea Kitsune (MirceaKitsune) Feature #314640, revision 1 Title: Add Deluge to the openSUSE software repositories openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Mircea Kitsune (mirceakitsune) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Although Ktorrent is a good torrent client, my favorite is Deluge for its simple yet complete interface and options. Although I can install it via the Packman repositories, I would suggest making it part of openSUSE as well. I use it for some time and haven't noticed any issues or bugs that should make it impossible to add it. http://deluge-torrent.org/ Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It's a good torrent client that many people might prefer. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314640

[New: openFATE 310149] Optimize power consumption while running on battery

Feature added by: Andreas Demmer (ademmer) Feature #310149, revision 1 Title: Optimize power consumption while running on battery openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Andreas Demmer (ademmer) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently, openSUSE 11.3 does not much to preserve my battery while being unplugged. Intel's powertop came up with many good suggestions that cut the power consumption on my laptop in half! It would be quite a good idea to make the powersave profile do a little bit more than just dim the screen and throttle the CPU. Other suggestions: * turn bluetooth off, radio is always a battery eater * reduce USB polling * enlarge write cache * ...do other things that reduce wakeups to a minimum Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Mobile usage is more and more a key scenario. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310149

[New: openFATE 311014] Create a wow effect for the openSUSE 12 (2012)

Feature added by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #311014, revision 1 Title: Create a wow effect for the openSUSE 12 (2012) openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Next openSUSE will be 11.4. How can we have a really good reason to go to *12* and not 11.5 there after. We have to create something specially related to openSUSE (not GNOME, not Kde...). One thing or several, something that makes people say "wow!!" this could be, for example, among other things: * give the boxed version on a blu-ray disk * offer a blu-ray (24Gb) image as download * give the boxed version on a 24Gb USB flash drive * give the choice at boot (of the install support) to ** install on the hard drive ** install on a flash USB drive ** launch live from install support ** launch live from ram (and remove install support) ** install to a remote server, for example a cloud * drop the lizar and take a red dragon :-) ... Please add yours ideas :-) thanks jdd -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311014

Gnome2 has forked now in to Mate DE https://github.com/Perberos/Mate-Desktop-Environment , so i think that beside a kde3 repo, a Mate repo for Gnome2 users of openSUSE is needed.

That code should be only run as a part ofthe post-install of the package. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313541

[New: openFATE 310963] Make openSUSE releases with more life time than 18 months.

Feature added by: Rafael Belmonte (EagleScreen) Feature #310963, revision 1 Title: Make openSUSE releases with more life time than 18 months. openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rafael Belmonte (eaglescreen) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It would be nice if OpenSUSE would make special releases which have much life time than 18 months, as like as Ubuntu does with its LTS releases. Ubuntu release a LTS version each two years, and they have five years of support, updates, and repository life. OpenSUSE could adopt a similar policy about this. Believe me, many people love to can install an OS and not have to touch it in years, and this is a main reason about why I deploy Ubuntu LTS releases in some systems instead of OpenSUSE. Use Case: Robert call to his nephew, Richard, and request him to install Linux in his computer. Richard thinks in OpenSUSE as first choice, but when Richard tells Robert that OpenSUSE will expire in 18 months, Roberts ask Richard to install another distribution with more Life-time, because Robert is scared about facing an OS upgrade or installation, and Richard won't be in the country at that date. Mary wants to install a GNU/Linux distribution for the computer she uses in her business, she dudes about to install OpenSUSE or Ubuntu, and after thinking a few time about it, she decides to install Ubuntu LTS because she won't need to upgrade or reinstall the OS until four years, which is much comfortable for her situation. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: 18 months of support is not always enough for many users. Many people hates having to upgrade or install a new OS each 18 months. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310963

Feature added by: Frank Helbo (fhc) Feature #306752, revision 1 Title: Login by fingerprint openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Frank Helbo (fhc) Description: Many laptops today comes with fingerprint readers. I even got it working in openSuSE 11.0, but it was a bit complicated. Why not enable this feature by default and have et integrated in the About me dialog, soo you can scan you finger just like changing password? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306752

Feature added by: Agustin Chavarria (dj_ubun_1) Feature #312551, revision 1 Title: opensuse CENTER openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Agustin Chavarria (dj_ubun_1) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We have a big competidor, that's ubuntu, they have the ubuntu center to install all the software in their OS, and this center is easy to use, more easy than yast or zypper. An option like this would be amazing in opensuse, if we want more users. =) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312551

[New: openFATE 312468] Project Bretzn app-store to be integrated into opensuse 12.1
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 03 Feb '15

Feature added by: Jedi Beeftrix (Jedibeeftrix) Feature #312468, revision 1 Title: Project Bretzn app-store to be integrated into opensuse 12.1 openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jedi Beeftrix (jedibeeftrix) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: http://news.opensuse.org/2010/10/26/from-the-developer-to-the-user-and-back… Purpose: 1. Make it easy for developers to release an application 2. Make it easy for developers to market and for users to learn about that application 3. Make it easy for users to install the application Project Bretzn consists of three parts: the building of the package, the publishing of the application, the marketing to the users and the feedback cycle back to the developer. The building part consists of plugins for IDEâs and integration with Build Services and using Lubos Lunakâs OBS Generator (yes, still looking for a new name ) to automatically generate cross-platform build files. Publishing sends the app to a variety of App Stores and then markets it through announcing it on Facebook, Twitter, via a RSS feed and the Social Desktop . Finally, users can provide feedback by rating the application and commenting on it, by writing bug reports and send messages to mailing lists or forums. And all of that with one click (well, maybe a few more). Status (as of Linuxtag 2011): http://www.slideshare.net/karlitschek/project-betzn-linuxtag-2011 This sounds like the kind of thing we want! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312468
