Feature added by: Jean Cayron (jeancayron) Feature #307418, revision 1 Title: Parental control module openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jean Cayron (jeancayron) Description: It would be fine to have a GUI in YaST similar with Mandriva's Parental Control "Drakguard". Parental control is something more en more important for safety with computing in family and Linux can't avoid to be distributed into the families. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307418

Feature added by: Roman Bysh (Romanator) Feature #308878, revision 1 Title: Add KDE Info Center to System Settings openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Roman Bysh (romanator) Description: I propose adding the KDE Info Center to System Settings or even Sysinfo. It provides more information than sysinfo provides at this time. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308878

[New: openFATE 311661] provide a LiveCD/USB image to crowd-source a HCL
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Feature added by: Bernhard Wiedemann (bmwiedemann) Feature #311661, revision 1 Title: provide a LiveCD/USB image to crowd-source a HCL openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Bernhard Wiedemann (bmwiedemann) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: SUSE manually maintained a Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) but this has disadvantages: - it covers a limited range of hardware - parts of it can be outdated or inaccurate - it is a lot of effort to maintain On the other hand, people want an easy way to know if their hardware works with the current or next release of openSUSE. This is why a Live image is proposed that can easily be put to CD or USB-mass-storage and has an easy way (e.g. icon on desktop) to test access to different types of hardware: - graphics - sound - network - input ... This software could then upload the test results to a public online database in anonymous form. This DB could be the smolt DB or something similar in spirit. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311661

[New: openFATE 314447] Make Yakuake a part of the KDE standard desktop set
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Feature added by: Michael Skiba (Mirrakor) Feature #314447, revision 1 Title: Make Yakuake a part of the KDE standard desktop set openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Michael Skiba (mirrakor) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: For those of you who don't know Yakuake: It's a KDE Terminal Emulator (like konsole or xterm). It's normally hidden and rolls down the screen when you press a certain hotkey (usually F12) and provides a multitabbing, skinnable terminal interface. Website: http://yakuake.kde.org/ Such a built in, but easy to hide, terminal emulator is certainly handy for the power user but it might also be useful to be able to tell novices to simply press F12 to open up a console. On the con side of course is the fact that it uses resources (not much, but still) that the user might need somewhere else. I think it might be an interesting idea and would like to use this platform to discuss it and see if there's enough people that are interested as well. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314447

[New: openFATE 309389] add /usr/local to KDEDIRS
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Feature added by: Stefan Majewsky (majewsky) Feature #309389, revision 1 Title: add /usr/local to KDEDIRS openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stefan Majewsky (majewsky) Description: By default, CMake-powered KDE apps are installed to /usr/local, but KDE won't pickup data files and configs from this directory tree because the KDEDIRS environment variable does not include /usr/local. This problem can currently be circumvented by setting the installation prefix to /usr (which is asking for trouble because of possible clashes with RPM) or by adding /usr/local to KDEDIRS manually, which is error-prone (esp. for new users). Therefore, I propose that /usr/local be included in the KDEDIRS environment variable by default (with a lower precedence than /usr, of course). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309389

Feature added by: Thomas Schraitle (thomas-schraitle) Feature #311029, revision 1 Title: Add Link to Documentation Site openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Thomas Schraitle (thomas-schraitle) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The official documentation seems to be not very known in the openSUSE world. To make it more visible, I would suggest the following improvements: * Add a link http://docs.opensuse.org (http://docs.opensuse.org) to the welcome screen (SUSEgreeter?) of a fresh installation * Include http://docs.opensuse.org (http://docs.opensuse.org) to the list of pre-installed bookmarks in Firefox, Konqueror, ... * Maybe add an icon on the desktop which refers to the above link. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To make the official documentation more visible and easier to find. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311029

[New: openFATE 310449] A simple way to turn off nouveau
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 09 Jun '17

09 Jun '17

Feature added by: nick skeen (ns89) Feature #310449, revision 1 Title: A simple way to turn off nouveau openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: nick skeen (ns89) Description: With OpenSUSE11.3 nouveau is used be default. In order to turn it off you must add nomodeset to the kernel parameters in /boot/grub/menu.lst and turn on no_kms_in_intrid in the sysconfig editor. So add a simple option on the sysconfig editor to do both? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310449

[New: openFATE 313086] Graphics Repository
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 09 Jun '17

09 Jun '17

Feature added by: Svetoslav Ganchev (sv_g) Feature #313086, revision 1 Title: Graphics Repository openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Svetoslav Ganchev (sv_g) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hi! I enjoy using openSUSE to work on both 2D and 3D graphics. However sometimes it's hard to keep up with the current versions of the popular applications. For example the latest versions of Blender, Inkscape or MyPaint is usually worth upgrading. So I thought it'd be very cool for graphic enthusiasts to have a single official repository with the latest versions of the most popular graphic applications for the current versions of openSUSE so that it's easy to install them. Thanks for reading! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313086
