Feature added by: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) Feature #314614, revision 1 Title: Default 64-bit version of ISO on openSUSE.ORG openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It seems to me that we should be encouraging the use of the 64-bit version of openSUSE. Right now the default selection on the download page defaults to 32-bit. With virtually every desktop/laptop x86 processor having 64-bit extensions within the last years we should be encouraging people to try it out. The long time issues of flash/java not having 64-bit support are gone to the point of not even defaulting 32-bit compatibility libs any more on the default install. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To encourage people trying the 64-bit version who may think there are still old issues about it that have long been resolved. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314614

Feature added by: Thorsten Behrens (netsroth) Feature #314584, revision 1 Title: [libreoffice] Copy graphic styles in Impress openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Thorsten Behrens (netsroth) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When copying one object into another presentation, LibreOffice Impress currently only converts over presentation styles, leaving graphic styles to default values. This request is to (optionally) provide this missing functionality. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314584

[New: openFATE 313436] Bring the old Package Finder on opensuse.org

Feature added by: gabriel byrne (assas1n) Feature #313436, revision 1 Title: Bring the old Package Finder on opensuse.org openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: gabriel byrne (assas1n) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Some time ago, the library or package finder on opensuse.org was changed. The new version is too confusing to use, needing several unncesary clicks here and there. Plus, its a pain trying to find libraries or packages made by common users. Also, the link pointing to those users repositories is gone, making the task of installing user made packages a hasle. In my opinion, bringing the classic finder back would be great. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313436

[New: openFATE 313416] Provide alternate printjob username
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 May '15

Feature added by: John Harmon (joharmon) Feature #313416, revision 1 Title: Provide alternate printjob username openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: John Harmon (joharmon) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Would like to see a way in Samba to provide an alternate printjob username when guest printing. Don't know if I selected the right "product" for this request Test Case: I believe if you were to join a SLES box to an AD domain, then add the user for the server, as described above, the issue could be easily duplicated. I am working on that now. Use Case: In this particular instance the customer was authenticating to the server, or appeared to be, as a particular user. Whenever he printed, however, the banner page would come out as being printed by guest. Development found that the windows workstation had a user configured for this server (SERVERNAME/guest). net use commands didn't override this user (windows bug). In this case the "use default domain = yes" setting was being used, so the user's servername (SERVERNAME) would be stripped off, leaving us a username of guest--which would then login. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313416

[New: openFATE 313311] Update Documentation
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 May '15

18 May '15

Feature added by: Peter Tselios (tpe) Feature #313311, revision 1 Title: Update Documentation openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Peter Tselios (tpe) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Update the opensuse documentation (doc.opensuse.org) and especialy the NFS4 server section. Current section is not very helpful. A great example of relevant documentation can be found at the ArchLinux Wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NFSv4) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The documentation is not helpful at all. The NFS4 changed the way directories are exported in more than one way. From the documentation is implied that most of the work is performed from the Yast, which -at least up to 11.4- is not full (for example, directories outside the exported "root" directory are not automatically mounted with --bind option. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313311

Feature added by: Vishal Gupta (vishal07g) Feature #315031, revision 1 Title: openSUSE: News & Planet openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vishal Gupta (vishal07g) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: This application will help user to stay more in touch with whatever is going to the openSUSE community. *The start will begin with a simple sign in(which will be a one time step) where we will have two options either sign in with respective openSUSE account and option of signing using the latest sign in with Google+(to keep it social too) *The app will have two basic sections: News, Planet & Connect. The News section will have the news from the openSUSE news and feature updates from the open FATE network, whereas the Planet section will have the news from the openSUSE planet. The connect section will allow them to make their posts or feature requests directly from their phones, this will also help them to get support from the openSUSE community and will bring together a lot of people resulting in a good collaboration amongst all. *All the items throughout the app will have a preview image if any image is associated with that article and the headline of the article. *Using the translator apis, we will have multi language support, where user can change and view the content in their own language. *There is going to be a manual refresh button and a option for auto refresh(in settings) of all the content of the app to get the latest updates. *Users will also have a option of bookmarking the items they are interested in and they will also have comments block down below in each item page. where they can have a discussion too. The user will also get a option in their settings of running the app in offline mode (where all the content is downloaded at certain points of time and user can access the content without any internet usage) and the other option would be to run the app in online mode (where no content is downloaded on their phones, and everytime they try to access any item, they will be required to use their internet). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/315031

[New: openFATE 315011] Native Android Application for openSUSE News and Planet
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 May '15

18 May '15

Feature added by: Rajul Bhatnagar (rajulbhatnagar) Feature #315011, revision 1 Title: Native Android Application for openSUSE News and Planet openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rajul Bhatnagar (rajulbhatnagar) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: openSUSE News and Planet are a great way to keep tabs on whatâs going on in the openSUSE world and Mobile, with Android leading the way becoming is becoming an important form factor to consume media. This makes it essential to provide a Native experience to consume this media. My vision of a Native openSUSE News/Planet app. Itâs said that a picture speaks more than a thousand words so I would like to use mockups to explain the direction I would like to take with the app. * Landing Page :- <div> <img style="width: 20%;float: left;" src="http://utopiadevelopers.com/gsoc/images/homepage.jpg" /> <div style="width: 80%;float: left;"> The user is greated with cards giving a preview of the news article like on the actual pages. These cards will be aggregates from both openSUSE News and Planet and would be based on filtering options selected by user like filtering posts from particular authors or posts matching certain tags because on Mobile you do not have time to sift through all the information so filtering options are very important to provide the most relevant information. If the user is not signed in the service will remember user preference based on Device Id. If the user wants his preferences across devices he will have to sign in using his openSUSE News or Planet Ids. He will also need to be signed in for sharing and commenting. The handle at the top right of every card is to provide per card options of sharing and for quick commenting on posts. The handle in the Actionbar is for changing between predefined filtering options and built-in filtering options like By Date, No. of comments etc and user defined filters. </div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> * Sliding Menu: - <div> <div> In App Navigation would be facilitated with the help of a Sliding Menu, the implementation of which will be based on this (http://simonvt.github.io/android-menudrawer/) library by Simon VT. I prefer the edge swipe implementation like the Google+ App. This will provide navigation to o Login: - To login using openSUSE News or planet Ids. o News :- Will change filtering to only show articles from openSUSE News o Planet :- Will change filtering to only show articles from openSUSE Planet o Filter: - To create user defined filters based on existing Tags and Categories. o Settings: - For user preferences like enabling Notifications, Restrict syncing to WiFi only etc. o About Page o Logout: - If signed in to logout. </div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> * Â· News/Planet Article Page :- <div> <img style="width: 20%;float: left;" src="http://utopiadevelopers.com/gsoc/images/article.jpg" /> <div style="width: 80%;float: left;"> An Article can be opened by clicking on the Card or Clicking on Read More. The user can navigate the article by scrolling down. I am avoiding horizontal scrolling because it could hinder the sidebar Navigation. </div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> * Notifications :- <div> <img style="width: 20%;float: left;" src="http://utopiadevelopers.com/gsoc/images/notifications.jpg" /> <div style="width: 80%;float: left;"> I think itâs very important for a News App to inform the user when relevant information is posted. These rich Notifications are only possible on Jellybean but we can fall back to normal notifications on older android versions. The user can use the Quick actions to share this article or quickly post a comment if he is signed in. Tapping the notification will take him to the article Page. </div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/315011

Feature added by: Prathamesh Karve (PrathamR) Feature #315040, revision 1 Title: openSUSE Android app openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Prathamesh Karve (prathamr) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: A utility app for the openSUSE community to remain constantly updated about everything from projects to events to new releases. The app would keep you updated about the following: 1. News (http://news.opensuse.org/) 2. Planets (http://planet.opensuse.org/global/) 3. Lizards (http://lizards.opensuse.org/) 4. Forums (http://forums.opensuse.org/forum.php) 5. Events (openSUSE Calendar) 6. Wiki (http://en.opensuse.org/Main_Page) 7. Forums (http://forums.opensuse.org/forum.php) 8. Mailing list archives (http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_lists) 9. IRC channels list (http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:IRC_list) 10. openFATE (https://features.opensuse.org/) 11. Build Service (https://build.opensuse.org/) 12. Bugs (http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports) 13. Facebook, Twitter and Google+ updates for openSUSE App features: 1. Detailed view of articles within app itself 2. Notifications for new posts 3. Save articles for offline reading 4. Search articles using keywords 4. Mark sections as favourites for quick access 5. Multiple language support 6. Sync phone calendar with openSUSE calendar 7. Optimum use of Android actionbar 8. Specially designed tablet interface Test Case: A demo version giving an idea of the working of the app: https://www.dropbox.com/s/31yvyqb17vrxmtl/openSUSE.apk Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: openSUSE is a large community of active developers, with a multitude of projects and developments happening all the time. To keep track of the news and events related to the community, users only have option of using the website which can be tedious on-the-go, especially on a mobile device. The openSUSE app would thus be crucial in keeping the user constantly in sync with the community's varied endeavours. This could lead more developers to share their work and reach out to a vast user base. In short, I wish to bring the entire functionality of the website to the Android app. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/315040

Then in the list there will be: -The news section will have the news from the openSUSE news. -The Plane section will have the news form the openSUSE planet. -The Social will have the latest updates from twitter / facebook /google+ etc.. the Settings section will contain all the settings for downloading and displaying the news and all about the notifications, intervals, sounds , logging in with facebook , log in with the openSUSE api etc. The news and the planet will have the same layout, every post would be an item in a list with an icon and the preview from the text, when you click it you can see the whole article and have buttons like âfacebook likeâ, âshareâ , âcommentâ , âgoogle +1â, âemail to a friendâ etc... Also we can add a special button to bookmark the favorite articles and a button âread later offlineâ which will download the article and give the ability to read it offline when you don't have access to the internet. Also there can be a reply button where it can leave a comment below the article just as the news website. There would be a refresh button on every section which would download the latest news manually and maybe later we can eliminate the button and implement a way of refreshing like facebook when you can drag the list down and if you are on the top it will update. In the info section you can find out more about the app and the openSUSE community , communicate, support, local community etc.. Also there can be locale translation for each button / text in the app which will be shown to the users depending from where they are. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/315014
