Feature added by: Harri T. (haba713) Feature #314661, revision 1 Title: tcptunnel openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Harri T. (haba713) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hi! I suggest adding tcptunnel package to openSUSE distribution. As stated on a page http://www.vakuumverpackt.de/tcptunnel/ "Tcptunnel is a simple TCP port forwarder. This tool listens to a local TCP port and all the received data is sent to a remote host. It can be used to redirect TCP based protocols like HTTP, IRC, NNTP, SSH or SMTP." The source code is here: https://github.com/vakuum/tcptunnel It's a great piece of code! I've used it now for a couple of months in SLES 11 SP2 for SSH and MS Remote Desktop tunnels with no anomalities. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314661

Feature added by: pier andre (pier_andreit) Feature #313000, revision 1 Title: select the graphic driver at boot openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: pier andre (pier_andreit) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: To have the possibility to select the graphic driver at boot in my opinion is a good idea, if you have nvidia or ati graphic cards, and you want to try the new propietary driver and it doesn't satisfy you, or if you want to try the new nouveau driver, if you have the possibility to select the driver (for example nouveau, nvidia, ati or whatever), you can have easyly a working graphic desktop. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313000

[New: openFATE 308467] Proprietary install driver HELP guide

Feature added by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Feature #308467, revision 1 Title: Proprietary install driver HELP guide openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Description: A constant criticism of openSUSE is the lack of an easy continuous installation of proprietary graphic drivers. Is it not possible to post specific (and very obvious) help links to community wiki that provides guidance as to how the proprietary graphic drivers can be installed (as opposed to just a general statement) ? i.e. a link for community help page for ATI proprietary graphic drivers and a similar one for nVidia proprietary graphic drivers. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308467

[New: openFATE 314592] Include Razor-qt Desktop to the Install options

Feature added by: Carl Fletcher (caf4926) Feature #314592, revision 1 Title: Include Razor-qt Desktop to the Install options openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Carl Fletcher (caf4926) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: razor-qt provides a kde3 like experience. It is low on resources, has a familiar and friendly feel in use. It would be nice to see this along side the 'other' desktop options. Or at the very least, as a Pattern with a Meta package in Software Manager. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It is low on resources, has a familiar and friendly feel in use. It will fill a large kde3 hungry user base -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314592

[New: openFATE 316842] grub2 configuration in Yast2
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Ulf Michel (ulfmichel) Feature #316842, revision 1 Title: grub2 configuration in Yast2 openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ulf Michel (ulfmichel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: grub2 can in principle be configured to remember the last selected operating system, but this is no option in Yast2. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I am convinced that this is the configuration most users would prefer. After every new installation I have to do this by hand editing /etc/default/grub with changing GRUB_DEFAULT=saved and adding GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true and then updating grub by grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316842

[New: openFATE 316767] gfxboot-branding-openSUSE - Bring the penguins back
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Alan Bortu (alanbortu) Feature #316767, revision 1 Title: gfxboot-branding-openSUSE - Bring the penguins back openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Alan Bortu (alanbortu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: After reading the thread on the opensuse help forums, I thought it would be a nice idea to propose bringing the penguins. What I mean by this is that sometimes, in grub on special dates the boot loader graphics will change at a random boot to one that features a bunch of penguins in wearing some Christmas hats and doing general penguin things. I know it might seem silly and worthless but I just thought it would be a nice thing to propose just for the sake of fun. If you still dont know what I am talking about please see the picture here: http://oi40.tinypic.com/2w1y23c.jpg Test Case: 1. Power on system 2. Wait for grub to display its boot options 3. Display the penuin graphic instead of the default graphic Use Case: When the user boots up their system the boot loader, on a random boot interval will display the graphic linked in the description instead of the default one that comes with openSUSE. It should be random during the month of December and after the 25th it should stop showing. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I think its just a nice easter egg for the distro to have, I know that it serves no practical purpose but I do think it is important for distros to have fun little things like this that (hopefully) don't take too much work to maintain. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316767

[openFATE 308202] Speech recognition
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Daniel FAIVRE (geomaticien) Feature #308202, revision 1 Title: Speech recognition openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Daniel FAIVRE (geomaticien) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Linux and therefore OpenSuSE desktops still lacks speech recognition. Despite nearly everything else is better than under the dark side of Operating Systems ... Some progress were made in open source recognition engines and therefore progress in their desktop integration become a desired feature for a growing number of users. Such a feature requires a full desktop integration and the ability to recognize the dictation of a text in any text editor. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Speech recognition is integrated to windoz desktop since windoz fista, and that is a very cool feature and an accessibility important asset. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308202

[New: openFATE 311011] Boot option "toram"
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Matti Vahalinna (Waxborg) Feature #311011, revision 1 Title: Boot option "toram" openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Matti Vahalinna (waxborg) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I've long been amazed about the speed of DamnSmallLinux on a low spec machine when run completely in RAM. I've also seen that this is possible with Gentoo and Ubuntu nowadays. I would love to see this feature in openSUSE Live. This would greatly also improve the impression that new users get when they try out the Live system. So you boot from the Live media and give it an option 'toram' after which a RAM disk is created, the system is copied there and then it is run completely from there. -- Vahis -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311011
