[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

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

[New: openFATE 314640] Add Deluge to the openSUSE software repositories
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

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
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

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)
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

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

Feature added by: ursan marius bogdan (creatura85) Feature #312946, revision 1 Title: Mate repo for openSUSE openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: ursan marius bogdan (creatura85) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Around the world users still like the Gnome 2 DE. 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. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The Mate repo can be used by users who cant run Gnome3 or for users that don`t like Gnome3 bu still like Gnome2, old school look. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312946
