[New: openFATE 314746] Add Package gptfdisk to ALL openSUSE Installlation Disks

Feature added by: James McDaniel (jdmcdaniel3) Feature #314746, revision 1 Title: Add Package gptfdisk to ALL openSUSE Installlation Disks openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: James McDaniel (jdmcdaniel3) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: GPT Partitioned disks are becoming much more common and so the ability to deal with these disks in every way must be native to ALL openSUSE installation media. The gptfdisk package seems to fill that need and should be included by default. Please consider adding in the package gptfdisk to ALL new openSUSE 12.3 installation media. Thank You, Test Case: Try to create a dual boot between Windows 8 and openSUSE 12.2 on a pre-existing GPD partitioned disk (with secure boot disabled). You need the package gptfdisk utilities to make the right partition types. Use Case: The gptfdisk package allows you to manually create the right partition types on a GPT disk when the automatic installer fails to do so. It makes it possible to deal with and create dual booting GPT disks. Using the UEFI mode of openSUSE does work, but often you can not create the right partition types manually when it is required. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: openSUSE musty be able to automatically or manually deal with all disk types such as GPT partition disks on a UEFI based PC. Add this package and we will have the right tools that we need. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314746

[New: openFATE 311353] Move libvclplug_kde4lx.so library to libreoffice-kde4 package
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (RGBsuse) Feature #311353, revision 1 Title: Move libvclplug_kde4lx.so library to libreoffice-kde4 package openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (rgbsuse) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: kde4 integration on openSUSE's LibO version is still problematic, so many kde users (including myself) prefer to not use kde integration at all instead of fighting problems generated by that integration (which as a mater of fact, it is not enabled on upstream LibO). But uninstalling libreoffice-kde4 package is not enough: the library(1) libvclplug_kde4lx.so must be deleted or renamed, something that must be done on EVERY LibO update. Moving libvclplug_kde4lx.so library from libreoffice-libs-gui to libreoffice-kde4 will easy LibO setup for kde users that do not want to use kde4 integration. (1) located at /usr/lib64/libreoffice/basis-link/program/ on 64 bits systems. Use Case: People with problems like bug 674806 (there are many others) that do not want to use kde4 integration but are afraid of using rm command on a system folder will see this as an enhancement. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Not all kde4 users are happy with the kde4 integration enabled on openSUSE's LibO version, but there is no straightforward way of disabling it. In order to not ask unhappy users to perform dangerous operations as root (after all, rm is a dangerous command), to gather every LibO's kde4 related library on the same package will give the user more options. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311353

[New: openFATE 311289] Let Dolphin open PERL documents in Kwrite
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Feature #311289, revision 1 Title: Let Dolphin open PERL documents in Kwrite openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Register Kwrite as the handler for application/x-perl . Test Case: Steps to reproduce 1) { h2xs -A -n Mytest; } 2) Tell Dolphin to navigate to Mytest . 3) Tell Dolphin to open Makefile.PL . Actual results 3. Dolphin is unable to find a handler for application/x-perl . Expected results 3. Dolphin should tell Kwrite to open Makefile.PL . Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Note: this is only an annoyance, since Kwrite is eventually called when the dialogue box is dismissed. However, Kwrite is perfectly capable of handling PERL code and I can see no reason why it is not registered as a handler for it. Also, I am told that Factory eventually offers to install mousepad . -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311289

[New: openFATE 311583] Graphical integration of LibreOffice in openSuse
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Jerome EPRINCHARD (radzaquiel) Feature #311583, revision 1 Title: Graphical integration of LibreOffice in openSuse openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jerome EPRINCHARD (radzaquiel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Despise of LibO official arrival in openSUSE 11.4, we can still see the old OOo-like icons in Kickoff. Besides, I don't know if it's KDE or openSUSE but with Oxygen theme enabled, we got the old OOo documents icons on LibO start screen as in LibO menus. It would be better to integrate LibO filetype & modules icons or openSUSE-stylized/KDE stylized icons. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: A clearer differentiation between OpenOffice.org & LibreOffice. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311583

[New: openFATE 313168] Suggestion for making KDE4 base apps portable and stand-alone.

Feature added by: hal dawn (finders) Feature #313168, revision 1 Title: Suggestion for making KDE4 base apps portable and stand-alone. openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: hal dawn (finders) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Suggestion for making KDE4 base apps portable and stand-alone. KDE4 requires me to install apple device compatibility libraries and desktop search if I dare to install any KDE4 application on top of minimal X setup. (I'm not talking about patterns) I don't have any apple devices to use with my KDE4 desktop and I'm not interested in desktop search features, even less interested in social network integration. If I choose to install plasma desktop, kde session, dolphin, kmix, kwrite, ksnapshot and konsole... I'd expect it to install just these things that I asked for, not PIM, sql servers, zeitgeist, strigi and nepomuk. Certainly not libs for my non-existant iphone and my non-existant QR code reader. If I dare to remove any of these dependencies, I end up with broken KDE which should not be the case, I'm aware KDE4 can be built without them. Mandatory libs required for basic functionality should be merged into kdelibs4 package, the rest should be optional. (My opinion anyway) Bonus RPG quote : The Builder places thy challenges before thee as a stairway of hewn stone up the tower of thine life. When thou seekest to add to those challenges, to compass thine pride, thou dost clutter the design of the stairway, and introduce cracks and weaknesses, through which The Trickster mayest enter and bring thy ruin! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313168

[New: openFATE 313049] Include openSUSE manuals in default install

Either add them into each user directory, or symlink from /usr/share. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313049

[New: openFATE 315042] Linked Konsole and KDE file manager
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Petre Agenbag (Piie) Feature #315042, revision 1 Title: Linked Konsole and KDE file manager openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Petre Agenbag (piie) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Add a "linked" konsole window option to a file browse window in the GUI. The PATH for both windows must be "linked" - ie, if you change the directory in the graphical file browse window, the path in the linked konsole must also change, and vice-versa. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I believe this will make it easier to navigate to a folder where one may need to run some command line commands as well. One can do all the directory navigation with the mouse, and then immediately issue command line commands in the window below. The konsole thus "follows" your graphical browsing around automatically (and vice-versa). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/315042

[New: openFATE 313220] Pin down 'ntp' function on installation
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Gavin S (gav616) Feature #313220, revision 1 Title: Pin down 'ntp' function on installation openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Gavin S (gav616) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When installing 12.1 I select to use and sync with an NTP server near me, but after finishing the install process I check the NTP options in yast and 9 times out of ten all the options are changed. Sometimes disciplined clock is there and the single ntp server I selected in the install process has gone, also the chroot option is checked or not. I propose that in the install process the simple tick box for 'use NTP daemon to sync you clock' This tick box would just add three ntp servers from the users location previous noted from the map above. Also maybe a check-box asking the user if they connect through a unreliable connection such as a WiFi which could enable/disable the 'disciplined clock' option. Thank You. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313220

[New: openFATE 314492] MySQL Workbench update to 5.2.38
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Kjetil Kilhavn (kjetil_kilhavn) Feature #314492, revision 1 Title: MySQL Workbench update to 5.2.38 openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Kjetil Kilhavn (kjetil_kilhavn) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There is a bug in the current version of mysql-workbench, http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=63857, which prevents use of the workbench for administration of databases. Commit comment for the bug fix: Opening a "Server Administration" tab for a server instance that has remote management via SSH enabled would result in an error, and fail to load. An alternative to updating to version 5.2.38 is of course to implement the patch and release version 5.2.37-4.1.3 Test Case: I am not sure if a clean install will give you the test case easily, but it's worth a try. Start MySQL Workbench Choose âNew Server Instanceâ in the lower right corner. Complete the wizard and try to open the instance. Use Case: A local MySQL database is used for Amarok and Digikam. I am not able to administer the database and add specific (non-root) users for the applications and restrict their accesses to the correct databases. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I would prefer not storing my root password in Digikamâs and Amarokâs configurations. I would also prefer to limit access only to relevant databases in case of a fatal error in any of the programs. This was quite easy to do in MySQL Workbench (although an error in Digikam preventet me from restricting that userâs accesses). However, after reinstalling openSUSE the mentioned bug causes an error message and I am not able to perform any administrative tasks (using the GUI tools). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314492
