Feature added by: hem doshi (hemdoshi) Feature #316591, revision 1 Title: Enable spin-down of an externally powered USB HDDs when system powers down openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: hem doshi (hemdoshi) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I have a following hard drive. Seagate Backup Plus 4 TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive STCA4000100 It is hooked with my home media server running opensuse 12.3. I would like this hard drive to spin down automatically when I shut down my server. That way I can safely unplug the hard drive once the system is off. Right now, since opensuse 12.3 doesn't "park" an externally powered drive in a proper state while shutting itself down, the drive keeps on spinning forever. It is undesirable to put the mechanical system of the drive through unnecessary wear. Unplugging it is probably even more undesirable as it might damage the drive altogether. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316591

[New: openFATE 318102] Facilitate the removal of Flash Player

Feature added by: armando bustamante elu (aldobelus) Feature #318102, revision 1 Title: Facilitate the removal of Flash Player Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: armando bustamante elu (aldobelus) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Best regards. I'd like to propose a very simple change in the policy of OpenSUSE. Currently there are easy ways of replacing proprietary Flash Player software by other options. At the same time, I believe that we are many more users that currently know how to make this change, that want to do it and that is not for us a nuisance but a pleasure to perform it, thus giving a step towards the use of more free software in our computers. I know and use various GNU/Linux and I note that OpenSUSE is one of the distributions more difficult to configure to get this software change, not to mention the strange message I have found in this new version, the 13.2, which threatens to eliminate codecs and language of K3b package, although it has seemed to me that, finally, it does not. Thank you for your attention and congratulations for this beautiful new version. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318102

Feature added by: Mindaugas Baranauskas (embar-) Feature #312489, revision 1 Title: Search for GUI applications in YaST openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Mindaugas Baranauskas (embar-) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Now YaST allow to see mixed packages: applications, libraries, extentions for programs... For new users it would be very friedly interface, wich has feature to filter only Applications (programs with GUI). Process of filtering could be based on searching for /usr/share/applications/*.desktop in RPM. (Maybe additionally: extract icons, related to *.desktop files) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312489

[New: openFATE 310379] SUSE Application Center
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 Dec '16

Feature added by: Otso Rajala (daedaluz) Feature #310379, revision 1 Title: SUSE Application Center openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Otso Rajala (daedaluz) Description: Ubuntu 9.10 had one great new feature in it: the Ubuntu Software Center. It's radically dumped down, clean and uncluttered version of Synaptic. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter) for throughout description. It is not intended to replace Synaptic, but to make installing softare more accessible. This is definitely something openSUSE needs. YaST is even more powerful than Synaptic, but it's also more cluttered (at least in KDE). Thus, the demand for clearly presented centralized software installation and removal is also larger. I'm proposing, that we bluntly copy Ubuntu Software Center principles and create a native Qt interface for KDE. We might even go further, and give it even sharper "app store" look & feel by making it to present graphical applications only. More advanced users could use YaST or zypp like nothing happened. Use Case: Case 1: New user wants to install Kdenlive. Search in YaST provides plethora of packages, including libraries & debug items. Confusing. Search in Application Center produces only one result. Case 2: advanced user wants to take a glimpse what's available for his new desktop after installation. Application Center presents only graphical applications, offering quick method to do that. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310379

Hackweek V: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: jpxviii jpxviii (jpxviii) Description: Using as reference the options of the control center and security Mandriva Linux Bastille might be useful to integrate them into Yast and enable end-users productive, non-technical users and program management to better configure more options OpenSuse single or a test response questions as if you use p2p sharing applications like ktorrent and amule (which may also cause the system to check the configuration of ktorrent and amule, as the firewall ports to open suse firewall automatically with no configuration by the user ) Few end users productive and Bastille Linux know-how and know how to use. And in the Mandriva security check I've seen some options that are not in Yast, local security firewall and perhaps there is something useful -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310321

[New: openFATE 311441] Buil a lobby to make hardware vendors more Linux friendly (open build service)

Feature added by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #311441, revision 1 Title: Buil a lobby to make hardware vendors more Linux friendly (open build service) openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We all have some gadget with USB cable not seen by openSUSE (for example GPS). * Could we offer to the hardware makers some room on the build service (yes, including for proprietary software). * could we track the Microsoft work. I'm nearly sure that Microsoft push hard to forgive hardware vendors from releasing Linux drivers. Could we make any survey to make this better known? This is exactly where a cross distribution could be good: we all have the same problem. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We want to be equal on the hardware race -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311441

[openFATE 307512] Improve Qt package manager searching
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 Dec '16

04 Dec '16

Feature added by: Rastislav Krupansky (ra100) Feature #307512, revision 1 Title: Improve Qt package manager searching openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rastislav Krupansky (ra100) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Qt software manager might use functionality "search as you type". I mean, searching would give me a relevant result already during writing of the name package. This feature is already available in GTk software management (Synaptic also), but for QT isn´t. That means no more writting package name and hitting enter, or clicking on the "Search" button is needed, searching would done over the names ;-) See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=482578 Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Faster, more comfortable and simplified searching. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307512
