Feature added by: Roman Bysh (Romanator) Feature #314709, revision 1 Title: Remove cylinder measurement in Yast Partitioner openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Roman Bysh (romanator) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I propose that openSUSE remove the use of "cylinder measurement" during the partitioning phase of installation. This is due to the fact that the newer drives use " LBA " and no longer require the outdated cylinder line up. This should be replaced with a slider that measures partitions in megabytes, gigabytes and in the near future terabytes. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314709

[New: openFATE 310100] YaST Software Manager - Installation after download

Feature added by: Muhammad Javaid (BrownieCat) Feature #310100, revision 1 Title: YaST Software Manager - Installation after download openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Muhammad Javaid (browniecat) Description: Once a package install/system update has begun in Software Manager it's not very easy to stop it. The 'Abort' button doesn't really seem to work and if you force kill the process, you likely end up with broken packages. It would be nice if first all the packages were downloaded, and then installed (like it is in Ubuntu), rather than the sequence of: Download Package 1, install package 1, download package 2, install package 2 and so on. That way the installation could be aborted safely during the downloading part with no fear of broken packages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310100

[New: openFATE 310658] bypass "partitioning" option for pre-partitioned installation targets
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 09 Dec '16

Feature added by: Felix Miata (mrmazda) Feature #310658, revision 1 Title: bypass "partitioning" option for pre-partitioned installation targets openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Felix Miata (mrmazda) Description: Mandriva provides installation cmdline option that I always use: readonly=1 This causes normal partitioning steps to be bypassed. No creatiion, deletion, or modification of existing partitions is possible. Instead is presented a list of Linux native partitions for mountpoint selection, mount options selection, whether to format, and format to use. This is handy for both advanced users like myself, and for frequently repeated installs, such as development milestones. It can save significant time initializing an installation, and it can avoid some opportunities for mistakes in one of the more dangerous and difficult installation phases. It would be excellent for openSUSE to have a similar installation option. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310658

[New: openFATE 308343] external screen detection

Feature added by: marco mendoza (marcomendoza) Feature #308343, revision 1 Title: external screen detection Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: marco mendoza (marcomendoza) Description: Dear Suse comunity, Im proud to say Im getting involved into the Suse world, and even though Im a simple user of the OS systems, I found essential to have a performing OS in order to perform my current work. Whereas I got in love to Opensuse (I did start with it wo knowing anything...ubuntu or Suse...I have taken Suse and Im loving it), there is a couple of current options from comercial OS systems that I feel it is missing even in the last version of Opensuse. Particulary I would like to suggest the necessity of having an external screen detection system, I heart that some people manages to do it manually, but I think that such functionality should be part of an OS at the level of Opensuse. I have in in mind other couple of whishes, I will come with them in a following post in case my suggestions are taken in consideration. Thanks for commenting on this idea and the feasibility of it. greetings Marco A. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308343

[openFATE 308138] Easy way to install corresponding debuginfo RPM for all existing packages
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 09 Dec '16

09 Dec '16

Feature added by: Silviu Marin-Caea (silviumc) Feature #308138, revision 1 Title: Easy way to install corresponding debuginfo RPM for all existing packages openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Silviu Marin-Caea (silviumc) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: KDE4 applications crash more often than they should. The bugreporting helper that pops up is not user friendly. It expects the user to know what particular debuginfo RPMs to install in order to get a useful bug report. It also expects the user to toil through a long "wizard" that asks a lot of questions. It's not cool to punish the user on top of an application crash. Does KDE hate us or what? The user shouldn't have to do anything more than giving the accept to send the crash information or not. Examples: Firefox, Windows. If KDE couldn't come up with something easier than this, at least SUSE should do something to work around it. My suggestion would be a way to install all debuginfo RPMs for every package that's already installed. This way, all bugreports will be useful. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We want to get statistic data so we can focus on bugs that crash KDE applications -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308138
