Feature added by: jpxviii jpxviii (jpxviii) Feature #310321, revision 1 Title: Integrate Bastille Linux, and options for mandriva control center in the YaST. Hackweek V: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: jpxviii jpxviii (jpxviii) Description: Using as reference the options of the control center and security Mandriva Linux Bastille might be useful to integrate them into Yast and enable end-users productive, non-technical users and program management to better configure more options OpenSuse single or a test response questions as if you use p2p sharing applications like ktorrent and amule (which may also cause the system to check the configuration of ktorrent and amule, as the firewall ports to open suse firewall automatically with no configuration by the user ) Few end users productive and Bastille Linux know-how and know how to use. And in the Mandriva security check I've seen some options that are not in Yast, local security firewall and perhaps there is something useful -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310321

[New: openFATE 311441] Buil a lobby to make hardware vendors more Linux friendly (open build service)

Feature added by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #311441, revision 1 Title: Buil a lobby to make hardware vendors more Linux friendly (open build service) openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We all have some gadget with USB cable not seen by openSUSE (for example GPS). * Could we offer to the hardware makers some room on the build service (yes, including for proprietary software). * could we track the Microsoft work. I'm nearly sure that Microsoft push hard to forgive hardware vendors from releasing Linux drivers. Could we make any survey to make this better known? This is exactly where a cross distribution could be good: we all have the same problem. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We want to be equal on the hardware race -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311441

[openFATE 307512] Improve Qt package manager searching
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 Dec '16

04 Dec '16

Feature added by: Rastislav Krupansky (ra100) Feature #307512, revision 1 Title: Improve Qt package manager searching openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rastislav Krupansky (ra100) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Qt software manager might use functionality "search as you type". I mean, searching would give me a relevant result already during writing of the name package. This feature is already available in GTk software management (Synaptic also), but for QT isn´t. That means no more writting package name and hitting enter, or clicking on the "Search" button is needed, searching would done over the names ;-) See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=482578 Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Faster, more comfortable and simplified searching. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307512

[New: openFATE 310508] Tech-Support Desktop Widget
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 Dec '16

04 Dec '16

Feature added by: 6tr6tr 6tr6tr (6tr6tr) Feature #310508, revision 1 Title: Tech-Support Desktop Widget openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: 6tr6tr 6tr6tr (6tr6tr) Description: It's not usually included in reviews of OS's but the community behind an OS is actually pretty important. Especially since most people needing help on linux will not be able to just call a "geek squad" to fix things. openSUSE has a strong community but most people might not know to go to the web forums, so I think it would be VERY powerful to build it in to the OS. It would be a built-in widget that sits on your desktop, called openSUSE Free Tech-Support (it's mostly a client to the web forums). Any questions you have, you could ask right there on your desktop, similar to a Twitter widget. Also, it would popup un-obtrusive alerts in the lower right of your screen when you get replies (similar to firefox's "file download complete"). As well, it would be integrated into the built-in OS apps something like this: * If an OS-level error or openSUSE built-in app error occurs, the error box has a link "Get help with this error from openSUSE Tech Support" which goes to the widget on the desktop and starts the post/question with the error message in code tags and any other important info needed. (The user could then give it a subject, change the category or add any text before submitting it) * Built-in apps (like Dolphin, or anything from the openSUSE repos) have a link/icon for asking for help in doing something (e.g. in YAST) that opens the desktop widget - the widget then periodically checks for responses and alerts you when you have one (similar to a twitter widget) and shows the response. And what a huge selling point this would be for openSUSE! It'd be like your own built-in tech support! No other OS has that! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310508

[New: openFATE 310089] Remove not needed Repositroies after oneklick was successfull

Feature added by: matthias propst (l1zard) Feature #310089, revision 1 Title: Remove not needed Repositroies after oneklick was successfull openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: matthias propst (l1zard) Description: When using Oneklick install, usaly the needed repositories are added to the repository list, even if you just need only one package from that repository. if you are using One Klick Install multiple times the user probertly would end up with an unnecessary long list of ununsed repositories. how about removing them shortly after One Klick Install has finished or at least ask the User for removing or keep the useed repository. Its enoying to delete them manualy everytime you do an OneklickInstall. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310089

[openFATE 306412] Easy and unified way to enable/disable optional/experimental features
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 03 Dec '16

03 Dec '16

Feature added by: Tejun Heo (teheo) Feature #306412, revision 1, last change by Title: Easy and unified way to enable/disable optional/experimental features openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Tejun Heo (teheo) Description: When new things are introduced, it always generates certain amount of controversy. It's sometimes due to the quality of the initial implementation; other times, the feature itself isn't appealing to large subset of the userbase. Examples of this type of features include compiz, beagle and pulseaudio. Given that features which generate a lot of controversies are desktop related as they are the most visible and that as a distro openSUSE wants to ship and experiment with new features, having an easy and unified way to opt in and out of controversial features would resolve a lot of griefs without harming test coverage too much. I suggest installing new features by default and ask whether the user wants to opt in and out of those features from ggreeter. It wouldn't add another step while still providing choices upfront. Also, the same selection should be available through control pannel. This feature would be superset of fate#305296. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306412

Feature added by: Pavan kumar.L (trans123) Feature #310569, revision 1 Title: moblin like interface openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pavan kumar.L (trans123) Description: Moblin interface is in the right direction of user-friendliness. So why not implement in upcoming version. Gnome 3 gonna have a similar look. But if the uses have given an option get interface like moblin by installing some packages over existing gnome packages It would be nice and would be a great help for NOTEBOOK users Thnaking you Use Case: For Notebook users as moblin is only for netbooks -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310569
