Feature added by: Belleux Olivier (Lord-Master) Feature #317941, revision 1 Title: Modern Pager for kde plasma openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Belleux Olivier (lord-master) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The plasmoid "pager" is not suitable for managing a variable number of workspaces under kde 4 ; I suggest, for kde 4/5 a new plasmoid that displays the number of the current desktop id/total number of desktop like gnome-shell do;for changing of desktop it will be possible to use the mouse wheel or to shown a panel on left click. Maybe a "green plus" in the plasmoÃ¯d could help adding a new destop -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/317941

Feature added by: Zajączkowski Marcin (edved) Feature #312334, revision 1 Title: Installing video card drivers from the official openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Zajączkowski Marcin (edved) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: While searching through many pages of information about Linux and OpenSUSE that I found complaining. For the installation of graphics card drivers from the manufacturer. These appear in the repository often result in errors and critical system states. I think that when you install an option I should be asking whether to install the drivers or compile a formal closed. When chosen to be the official drivers are able to download the script itself from the pack, and compile the relevant modules into the kernel. Also, the appropriate settings in the xorg configuration. This is mainly on the users complain that they used Ubuntu. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312334

Feature added by: Christian Spaan (Gyges88) Feature #313286, revision 1 Title: Include option to install Tumbleweed from the installer openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Christian Spaan (gyges88) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Including an option to install Tumbleweed from the installer would enable the user to have a rolling distribution right from the start. This would make things easier especially for unexperienced users as they wouldn't have to know how to setup Tumbleweed nor how to upgrade the distribution manually. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313286

Feature added by: Jörg Stephan (johest) Feature #312964, revision 1 Title: Netinstall from update repo openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Jörg Stephan (johest) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When installing a openSUSE system from an netinstall CD it justs takes all data just out of the OSS repo so it needs an upgrade just after installation. It would be nicer if it would take the data out of the update repo, to have an installed system which is up-to-date. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312964

Feature added by: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Feature #316666, revision 1 Title: UNetbootin support for creating live cd openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: UNetbootin is the most popular and very easy to use application for creating live USB from live CDs. There are some alternate applications for creating live USB, but I never able to create live USB successfully. The biggest plus of UNetbootin over ImageWriter is, you can still use remaining space for other purposes. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316666

[New: openFATE 314774] improve handling of efi based systems in yast installer

Feature added by: Rob Verduijn (robverduijn) Feature #314774, revision 1 Title: improve handling of efi based systems in yast installer openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Rob Verduijn (robverduijn) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Make the yast installer more efi friendly when dealing with efi based hardware. Make the yast installer detect efi based hardware. The partitioner should offer an efi partition scheme when it detects hardware that is efi based. ie mount the efi partition as vfat on /boot/efi Make grub2-efi the default when efi based hardware is detected. When selecting grub2-efi as the bootloader yast should warn when there is no vfat partition defined for the /boot/efi mountpoint. Cheers Rob -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314774

[New: openFATE 316744] Network installtion

Feature added by: Hylton Conacher (notlyh) Feature #316744, revision 1 Title: Network installtion openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Hylton Conacher (notlyh) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There is no ability to begin an installation of any openSuSe distribution without the need for external media ie CD/DVD, Flash drive, PXR server. I believe the future of new hardware will move to devices without optical drives that may or may not have USB ports. The hardware will however have a network card and either an RJ-45 or wireless connection. I have personally seen Netbooks released in 2012 that had no optical drive, 1/2 USB ports, a RJ45 port and had wireless. Giving these to people who have not experienced computing or possibly do not have the funds for a 5Gb flash-disk, one has to ask how they are going to embrace openSuSe when they get tired of Windows Starter. How can a person with such hardware install opensuse when they visit the opensuse website, WITHOUT the use of CLI or other GUI software to make a boot medium? I believe there should be a Java file, as most systems understand Java that a new user could click on. Once this had been clicked the opensuse servers would download a start install script that, when the machine was rebooted would prompt the user, before the existing OS starts, about the ability to begin installing opensuse over a network connection. The first few initial downloads need to be small in size and be used to create a 'virtual machine' of the install that despite many Internet connection disconnects, still manages to resume its download. The user must not need to install VM software first. Once the user has completed the establishment of the 'VM version' of opensuse, the user is requested to agree to add the opensuse VM machine as their new host OS. If the user agrees the machine is rebooted and the user is asked to specify the location of the new install, just in case he might want to dual boot or has just added another partition/disk. The installation goes ahead, downloading from the Internet whatever software it needs, despite possible interruptions in network connectivity. The machine powers itself off and on its next power on the user is greeted by GRUB indicating that he may either boot into opensuse, or if they elected to during the install, boot into their old OS. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316744
