Feature added by: jc sl (jcsl) Feature #317184, revision 1 Title: Update LXDE's default artwork and applications. openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: jc sl (jcsl) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: LXDE's default artwork is ugly. I've made some proposals for the next openSUSE version (13.2) in the Artwork [1] mailing list and in the openSUSE-LXDE one [2]. We may change some of the defaults applications too.

Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Because it is a light desktop that performs really well in low power machines like netbooks, but it is really neglected. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/317184

[New: openFATE 312777] Provide a working pandoc in OSS
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Nov '16

Feature added by: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Feature #312777, revision 1 Title: Provide a working pandoc in OSS Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: pandoc (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) is a Haskell (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Haskell_%28programming_langu…) implementation of Markdown (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Markdown) with numerous extensions and additional output formats. There is a package in devel:languages:haskell/openSUSE_Factory (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/haskell/openSUS…) , but that needs much more love (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=713301) pandoc seems important enough to fix it and get it out of its Haskgell ghetto into OSS. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: pandoc is probably the most advanced implementation of Markdown which makes the creation of advanced documents very easy. It would provide us with a simple way to create good documents in a multitude of formats. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312777

[New: openFATE 313224] Support for disks/raid >> 2,2TB
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Feature added by: Hans Witvliet (digi_hans) Feature #313224, revision 1 Title: Support for disks/raid >> 2,2TB openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Hans Witvliet (digi_hans) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Does SuSE support disks/raids larger than 2.2TB? From current info it is unclear if SuSE supports this. Grub legacy (out-of-the-box) does not support it, as it should use GPT with 64-bit block numbers. It seems that there is a patch for grub, but it is unclear if that is applied to current (12.1) version of OpenSuSE. If so, then docu might be enhanced, as currently disks with a capacity of 3TB are COTS, and RAIDs with such capacity are comonly found. Other option, is the use of grub2, but that's another feature -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313224

[New: openFATE 316937] VPN YAST Module
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Nov '16

Feature added by: George Avram (vaseer) Feature #316937, revision 1 Title: VPN YAST Module openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: George Avram (vaseer) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: At the moment, yast lacks the means of easily setting up a vpn connection. I have been testing this with vpnbook's free vpn service, using the pptp version of it. I was unable to get that tunnel going under yast. In order to use it I had to actually switch from ifup to knetworkmanager. While this did do the trick, I was unable to use my virtual machines like this as knetworkmanager doesn't really support bridging. Use Case: Let's say I have VM's installed that I need to bridge or NAT to connect to the internet. However I also need to setup a vpn connection as it is a job requirement. I can't setup VPN in yast with ifup so I can't use that, but I can't switch to knetworkmanager because my VM's will then be disconnected from the network. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It would be really useful to have a simple yast VPN setup module, in which to receive live status updates (connected, disconnected, error etc.) and in which to be able to select the type of protocol used( openvpn pptp) and simply hit a connect button.(a verbose output box next to it is of course nice to see status) Kind Regards, -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316937

[New: openFATE 314590] Personal repository
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Feature added by: Francesco Noacco (FireLink) Feature #314590, revision 1 Title: Personal repository openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Francesco Noacco (firelink) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Raise your hand if you burn the CD/DVD distributions: Son many years that I do not do more, it's inconvenient and annoying. And yet I look forward to many more years that some "pious soul" to finally carry out a synchronization to a central database certified with the signatures of the packages certificates to authenticate the packages downloaded from anywhere you want. In this way, it would be theoretically possible to keep track of any downgrade or even preferred embodiments of the programs used. Furthermore, it would end the ridiculous distribution of large dvd or cd that you just downloaded many are already being updated, at times, heavily! Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: - To reduce the internet traffic that would be better handled by proxy servers without wasting portions of identical data. - To promote the dissemination of the system as they are more flexible. - Why it will be much more practical circular with a hdd or a usb stick (now greatly capacious and fast) rather than a case full of cd/dvd or fanciful escamotages to overcome this. Etc.. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314590
