[New: openFATE 311805] Add Select All check box to Yast Package Manager
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Roman Bysh (Romanator) Feature #311805, revision 1 Title: Add Select All check box to Yast Package Manager openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Roman Bysh (romanator) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Many times a user would require all of the packages selected from a Pattern. However, the user can only select them one at a time. This is very time consuming. Adding a select all check box to the Yast Package Manager would speed up multiple package selection. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To select all packages in a Pattern and speed ip the package selection process. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311805

Feature added by: Neil Rickert (nrickert) Feature #318234, revision 1 Title: Update "gos-wallpapers" to 2014 openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Neil Rickert (nrickert) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The "gos-wallpapers" (good old suse wallpapers) seems to be stuck at 2010. There have been several good default wallpapers since then that some people might like to be able to select. How about updating the package by adding the missing default wallpapers. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318234

[New: openFATE 312258] Ubuntu style encrypted home directories
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: David Nielsen (DavidNielsen) Feature #312258, revision 1 Title: Ubuntu style encrypted home directories openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: David Nielsen (davidnielsen) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Ubuntu has a very neat and useful implementation of encryption for users. Using ecryptfs they allow for each user to have his/her data encrypted without requiring one master password being entered at boot time. It is unloed along with your regular login making it entirely seamless. It would be nice to see similar functionality easily available when creating users in openSUSE. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312258

[New: openFATE 312911] Add option of UDF format to Yast partition manager
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Ilya Chernykh (Ansus) Feature #312911, revision 1 Title: Add option of UDF format to Yast partition manager openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ilya Chernykh (ansus) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: UDF is an universal disk format file system, which can be used on optical rewritable and non-rewritable media, USB flash drives and hard drives. The file system is supported by all modern operating systems, including Windows, BSD, MacOS X, Solaris, OS/2|eComStation, BeOS|Haiku as well as Linux kernel, making it one of the best choices to use when transferring data between platforms. Despite this Yast2 partition manager does not suggest option to format a volume into UDF, thus forcing to use a makeudffs command line tool. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312911

[New: openFATE 316721] One-Click Upgrade
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Anomyous Anomyous (jcat123) Feature #316721, revision 1 Title: One-Click Upgrade openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Anomyous Anomyous (jcat123) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It would involve either pressing a button in the YaST software management or on the openSUSE web site that would initiate the upgrade process and use a clean GUI interface to gather information about the upgrade and perform it. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: In many distros, you can just hit a few buttons in a graphic UI and upgrade to the next version. In openSUSE, you either have to use the DVD or manually change the repos and use zypper. Having a one click upgrade would be simpler and easier for most people, and would be more elegant and attract more users. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316721

[New: openFATE 314544] Easier to read boot messages
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Bo Thysell (cast_iron) Feature #314544, revision 1 Title: Easier to read boot messages openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Bo Thysell (cast_iron) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hi! Currently when the computer is booting up it looks like this (if you click away the splash screen): Started LSB: Set up on-boot profile [[1;32m OK [0m] Started LSB: read [[1;32m OK [0m] Started LSB: check quotas and turn quota [[1;32m OK [0m] As you can see the information about whether the service failed or is ok is on the far right side of the screen where it is quite difficult to match to the correct line. (In reality it's even further away since I compressed the example to save some space...) My proposal is as follows: put the info on the left side, just next to the line like this: [[1;32m OK [0m] Started LSB: Set up on-boot profile [[1;32m OK [0m] Started LSB: read [[1;32m OK [0m] Started LSB: check quotas and turn quota etc... As I am using a 24" 1920x1200 resolution monitor this would make it a lot easier to read. Any thoughts on this? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314544
