[openFATE 306439] Include Eucalyptus in 11.2
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Andrew Wafaa (FunkyPenguin) Feature #306439, revision 1, last change by Title: Include Eucalyptus in 11.2 openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Andrew Wafaa (funkypenguin) Description: Please could we include Eucalyptus in the next release? For thos unaware of Eucalyptus please see their homepage (http://www.eucalyptus.com/) , and for those that are too lazy to do that - Eucalyptus is an Open Source alternative to Amazon's EC2 Cloud computing offering. This is the very product that Ubuntu are using for their " Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/cloud/UEC) ". I am not advocating a "jump on the bandwagon" or "keeping up with the jones'" attitude. I am however advocating empowering our distribution and community with the necessary tools to stay ahead of the pack. I can also see several instances where the openSUSE project could potentially benifit from implementing our own cloud - it's no secret that there are some infrastructure constraints, and going down the Utility/Grid/Cloud/$Current_Buzz_Word computing may help things. For those that question whether there is a demand for it, I will admit there may not be a huge demand at the moment. The key thing is if we can market it right (in co-operation with Eucalyptus) we can get a much bigger uptake on both products - even our darling SLE cousin can join in the fun ;-) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306439

[New: openFATE 309367] Suggest packagekit to quit when it conflicts with yast sw_single

Feature added by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #309367, revision 1 Title: Suggest packagekit to quit when it conflicts with yast sw_single openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: In response to zypper sending a quit signal to packagekit when packagekitd conflicts with its operation as outlined in Bug 580513 (bugzilla.novell.com) the same should be implemented for the software management module in YaST since it is more visible there and novice users who are most likely to be confused by the conflict in question usually use the GUI more than the command line interface of zypper. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309367

[New: openFATE 318252] 32-bit UEFI boot in 64-bit build
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: David Poole (dspoole-novell) Feature #318252, revision 1 Title: 32-bit UEFI boot in 64-bit build openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: David Poole (dspoole-novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Allow for 64-bit versions of openSUSE to boot on to 32-bit UEFI hardware and allow for installation. Thus, hardware that supports only 32-bit UEFI and not legacy boot in BIOS yet has 64-bit processors (typically Intel Atom) would let openSUSE 64-bit install. Use Case: Some Ubuntu users have created a work-around to get their 64-bit kernel version installed on Dell Venue/Toshiba Encore Mini-series tablets using a custom 32-bit UEFI boot. This is not officially supported by Ubuntu but there has been some interest in getting Linux onto the sub-$200 tablet market. However, because it is basically a hack to do so and only on specific hardware, only the bravest Ubuntu users have accomplished this task. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: There is a surge of low-end tablets starting to appear on the market. See the HP Stream 7 and 8 series, which start at $99 and $149 respectively. These tablets are equipped with quad-core Intel Atom Z3735G 1.83GHz 64-bit processors but are saddled with a 32-bit UEFI BIOS that does not support Legacy BIOS boot. As such, it is currently impossible to install openSUSE on this hardware since 32-bit legacy versions of openSUSE only support Legacy BIOS booting and 64-bit versions only support 64-bit UEFI booting. Since Linux kernel 3.14, the ability to boot from 32-bit UEFI into a 64-bit kernel has been supported. By supporting a 32-bit UEFI boot and a 64-bit kernel, openSUSE could open the door to installation on a new market of low-cost tablets and thus introduce openSUSE as an alternative to Microsoft Windows 8.1 32-bit which currently is the only option as an operating system. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318252

[openFATE 306899] Porting OSC to Symbian platform
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Andrew Wafaa (FunkyPenguin) Feature #306899, revision 1 Title: Porting OSC to Symbian platform Hackweek IV: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Andrew Wafaa (funkypenguin) Description: My intention is to try and port the great Build Service's OSC tool to the Symbian platform. This will enable users to keep on top of Build Service tasks even whilst on the move. I will use PyS60 to create the installable package and use the latest code available in SVN. The only aspect that I forsee users not being able to do is to actually do a local build, but all other functions should work without issue. Use Case: I'm sat in a cafe enjoying the scenary with a croissant and cup of coffee and I receive an e-mail from Hermes advising of a submit request on a project that I'm the maintainer of. I can then accept/decline the request there and then, rather than having to ssh into my machine at home and do it. It will also be possible to create new packages etc directly from my device. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306899

I just forgot to think about suspending the computer will need an suitable swap partition. Now it's sometimes working an sometimes not... It would be nice and helpful if YaST would warn the user about that problem during the install process. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312339
