[New: openFATE 310870] Add WEEKLY_TIME for weekly crons
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

Feature added by: Richard Ems (rems0) Feature #310870, revision 1 Title: Add WEEKLY_TIME for weekly crons openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Richard Ems (rems0) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When running cron jobs some of them can increase IO heavily, slowing the system down, like suse-updatedb from findutils-locate, doing a large find on the filesystems. On production servers being used by several users, these scripts have to be started at non working hours. In /etc/sysconfig/cron we already have a variable called DAILY_TIME which controls at what time the scripts in /etc/cron.daily are being started by /usr/lib/cron/run-crons . A similar approach would be very useful for the weekly crons, allowing a better control of the day and time when weekly cron jobs are started. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310870

Feature added by: David Declerck (DarkMagus237) Feature #316547, revision 1 Title: Update elilo from 3.12 to the latest 3.16 (bugfix) openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: David Declerck (darkmagus237) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I highly suggest upgrading elilo from version 3.12 to the latest 3.16 version. This recent version has important bugfixes, without it, OpenSuSE will not boot on my laptop (cf bug 800035 on Bugzilla), and I have to use a few tricks to get it to install corretly. I'm sure this upgrade will benefit to many. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316547

[New: openFATE 316537] Drive DDF fake RAID with MD / mdadm
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

Feature added by: Martin Wilck (mwilck) Feature #316537, revision 1 Title: Drive DDF fake RAID with MD / mdadm Requested by: Martin Wilck (mwilck) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Use Linux-MD / mdadm (rather than device-mapper / dmraid) to set up RAID arrays with DDF meta data found during installation. In openSUSE <= 12.3, only IMSM fake RAID is set up with MD / mdadm, all other "fake RAID" formats are set up with dmraid. mdadm 3.3 includes a many improvements and stability fixes for DDF. This feature is easy to implement. Under https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:mwilck:mdadm-DDF:openSUSE, I am providing small modification of libstorage that makes this possible when put on a DUD. https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/DDF_Fake_RAID#OpenSUSE contains instructions. The DUD contains only updated mdadm packages (mdadm-3.3 plus a few patches that Neil Brown already ack'ed) and the modified libstorage4.so in inst-sys. Test Case: Installation of openSUSE on a RAID system with DDF RAID. This could be real HW with "DDF fake RAID", or simply a VM with preveiously configured DDF RAID. Use Case: This is useful for owners of systems with "Fake RAID" or "BIOS RAID" solutions using DDF meta data. One important vendor of these RAID solutions is LSI. LSI offers a closed-source driver (megasr) for these controllers but I think that Linux users will be better served with MD in the long run. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: MD/mdadm is the more complete and feature-rich RAID implementation than dmraid, thus meta data formats that mdadm supports should be driven by mdadm, not dmraid. With the release of 3.3, mdadm's DDF support is now at least on par with dmraid, adding mdadm's general benefits makes it the better choice for SW RAID driver for "fake RAID" systems using DDF. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316537

[New: openFATE 316534] NTP server from DHCP request should be considered at Installation
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

Feature added by: Marco Roose (mroose) Feature #316534, revision 1 Title: NTP server from DHCP request should be considered at Installation Requested by: Marco Roose (mroose) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I always get into an timeout when installing OpenSuSE before the timezone settings have to get applied. Now I'm implemented Option 42 in our DHCP server hoping the installation routine will ask there for a timeserver. But it's not the case :-( Maybe it's possible to implement this for enterprise environements where no external NTP server is allowed? Test Case: Activate Option 42 in DHCP: installation should use the DHCP timeserver Disable Option 42 in DHCP: installation should use an pool ntp server Use Case: When I install OpenSuSe and have implemented Option 42 in my DHCP server the installation routine should take the timeserver given by DHCP insteed of the "hard coded" ones. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: In environements where access to external time servers is denied the installations get's into a timeout problem before setting the timezone related things. Combining DHCP option 42 and auto reconization of the time server from that would be convinient. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316534

[New: openFATE 314991] system ca certificates based on p11-kit

29 Nov '16

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #314991, revision 1 Title: system ca certificates based on p11-kit openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: openSUSE should use p11-kit as primary tool for ca-certificate management. 1. define directory where to store ca certificates. Currently we use subdirs of /usr/share/ca-certificates. p11-kit likes to have all in one directory called 'ancors'. Fedora chose /usr/share/pki/ca-trust-source. 2. make update-ca-certificates call p11-kit to generate the compat bundles. 3. patch openssl, nss, gnutls to directly use p11-kit via library instead of relying on generated directories. More info about the implementation in Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SharedSystemCertificates https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SharedSystemCertificates:SubTasks -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314991

Feature added by: Donald Tosaw (dontosaw) Feature #310643, revision 1 Title: Easier System Configuration with KDE openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Donald Tosaw (dontosaw) Description: I'm not sure if this needs to be brought up on this forum, on a KDE project forum, or both. I find display monitor configuration navigation to be confusing and difficult in openSUSE 11.3 with KDE. I also find the inability to configure my Logitech mouse behavior (double-click speed etc.) to be a significant problem for some users. I have found openSUSE with Gnome to be much better in the area of mouse configuration. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310643

[New: openFATE 310199] Repository Announcements

Feature added by: Robin Knapp (rknapp) Feature #310199, revision 1 Title: Repository Announcements openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Robin Knapp (rknapp) Description: I often read announcements in Mailing Lists that repositories are renamed, deleted or whatever. Especially in the KDE repos there is currently much restructuration ongoing. I propose to implement a feature in libzypp and its GUIs to be able to show important announcements for each repository. Ideally, multiple repositories can issue one common announcement which will be displayed only once. Examples: - This repository will swich from KDE 4.5 to KDE4.6. To keep KDE 4.5, _switch_to_repository_xyz_. - The repositories x, y and z will be moved on $date. Click _here_ to change it now - This repository is obsolete. _remove_. (Maybe repository switching, removing, adding etc. can be done by clicking on a link in that text) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310199

[New: openFATE 310507] Repo-Changing Notifications in Updater Applet

Feature added by: 6tr6tr 6tr6tr (6tr6tr) Feature #310507, revision 1 Title: Repo-Changing Notifications in Updater Applet openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: 6tr6tr 6tr6tr (6tr6tr) Description: Recently, the repository KDE:Community was taken offline and the packages in there were apparently distributed into other repos. As a user of openSUSE, the onyl way I discovered this was via a constant error in my updater applet that told me it was unavailable. Then I went to the forums with the error and was informed why. I was also told that there had been advance notice on some mailing list (a list that people who download and install openSUSE will nto be a member of automatically). This is a very poor way of handling this for users of openSUSE! What should have happened was this: * Update Applet checks for updates and sees there's a "Repository Change Notification." * It pops up this notification which reads something like: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Repository: KDE Community URL: http://...elided.../Community This repository is being removed on August 24, 2010. The packages maintained in here will be switched to numerous other repositories, some of which are new. To make sure you can update any packages/applications you have provided by this repository, you have two options: 1. Click here to have YAST handle the switch automatically. It will do the following: a. Add the New Repositories b. Check for any packages you have in this repository c. Switch the packages over to the new repositories 2. Do this manually. See instructions at: http://someurl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This popup then gives users of openSUSE advance notice and an easy way to handle switching the packages over and changing repositories. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310507

Feature added by: Denny Beyer (lumnis) Feature #306848, revision 1 Title: Provide firmware package ( non-oss ) openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Denny Beyer (lumnis) Description: We should provide a firmware package for all drivers requiring one, eg. many tv cards or scanners etc. Even better would be if this package would be automatically installed (or the user will be prompted to install) if a device has been plugged in for the first time. Firmware files are relatively small compared to harddisk size, so one package for all tv cards, one for scanners etc. should do. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306848

Feature added by: phil osophe (posophe) Feature #314454, revision 1 Title: A more powerfull, intuitive and complete installation process openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: phil osophe (posophe) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Actually, install opensuse is fast and usefull and system is quickly accessible. But some functions should be implement for a logical and complete installation process like include a first fingerprints analysis for being accessible on first boot or a login picture select. A simple question with multiple answers like "What usage of this pc do you think to make ?" for determine if a closed-source driver is needed. At last, a clean-up of none used drivers could be a plus like mandriva. Use Case: I launch yast2 for install opensuse. When it start, I select type of usage of pc: - gaming : closed-source - multimedia : open-source ( In my mind the radeonhd driver is powerfull ) - professional : same as multimedia In a few screens, i create user account and next I scan my fingerprints for don't searching how to do later. And in the next screen I select a picture or take a picture with a webcam ( like ubiquity ) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: More simple for newbies users : Finding how to add fingerprints is not easy for new users and personnaly I like this function ; For closed-source drivers, it's difficult again to know how install a closed source driver because it's needed, ... ; And to conclude, a post-install removal process permit a more clean system -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314454

Feature added by: Carl Fletcher (caf4926) Feature #311047, revision 1 Title: Remove Windows Local Installer openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Carl Fletcher (caf4926) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The local installer which starts up when a windows user loads the openSUSE DVD, allowing installation to be started from a running windows OS, IS an absolute disaster. Did I say it was an absolute disaster? Oh yes, I did say that. Either remove it or include a unmistakable warning, that using it is likely to lead to disaster and that installation is best done by booting from the DVD. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Users that run this installer are messing up their system and the overall result is that it gives them a very bad impression of openSUSE. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311047

[New: openFATE 314931] Access to Public WiFi Landing Page During Installation
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 Nov '16

25 Nov '16

Feature added by: Dave Johnson (PauseBazinga) Feature #314931, revision 1 Title: Access to Public WiFi Landing Page During Installation openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dave Johnson (pausebazinga) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There is currently no way to configure internet access during installation if installer is using a public wifi hotspot or hotel internet access, as most of them require the user to navigate to a landing page with their browser and accept a set of "Terms and Agreements" prior to being granted access to the network. The current work-around is to simply not configure internet access during installation and perform a software update after installation when the user can perform the steps above. One method for implementation is to open a basic web-browser during network configuration, or an option to do so, that points to opensuse.org so that the user can be diverted to the hotel/hotspot landing page if it exists. Considerations: Many networks simply look for a cookie on the client's machine indicating that they have accepted the "terms and agreements", so this feature will require cookies to be temporarily stored (think Firefox "secure browsing" or Chromium "incognito" where cookies are stored during the session and then auto-removed at the end of the session). Many networks require a guest password to be entered, hotels especially (they're handed out at check-in), so there would need to be mouse/keyboard support in the dialog/browser window. Test Case: I travel a lot and recently ran into this during the openSUSE 12.3 release. This was the second time that I've had this problem and I can recreate the scenario for testing any time we need to, as I'm frequently traveling. Use Case: A user is traveling during a release of the operating system and wants to install the new release in the hotel that the user is staying in. Currently, this person will be forced to install offline and then update after installation because of the way most hotel and public internet access sites manage users with a landing page upon first access. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We want this because no one else has it yet and it's great to be first to implement useful functionality. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314931

[New: openFATE 313344] Move from by-id device naming to by-uuid

Feature added by: Mike Sterling (mikesterling) Feature #313344, revision 1 Title: Move from by-id device naming to by-uuid openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Mike Sterling (mikesterling) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Both SLES 11 SP2 and OpenSUSE 12.1 use /dev/disk/by-id. The problem with the by-id naming scheme is that the underlying deviceâs ID can change across reboots. This is an issue with the Hyper-V device platform, and is resolved by using either by-uuid or /dev/sdX naming conventions. Windows Server 2008 SP2: Intermittent failures observed. Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1: Intermittent failures observed. Windows Server â8â Beta: Intermittent failures observed. Failures in the above generally refer to an inability to mount the root filesystem after a reboot, rendering the VM useless. The ask to switch from /dev/disk/by-id to /dev/disk/by-uuid for device naming should resolve these issues. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Users of OpenSUSE on Hyper-V will not need to modify /etc/fstab to change the device names. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313344

Feature added by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #311440, revision 1 Title: tracking pps/ppt powerpoint slideshow with openoffice openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hello, tracking why I have to switch to windows I found very little reasons, here is one of them. Old people uses Internet mostly for e-mail, photo sharing and slideshow viewing. Firerfox, Thunderbird and Digikam take this into account. But it's still impossible to listen to any of the innumerable slideshow that fill internet with openoffice. They not even work well in wine+microsoft reader. I'm nearly sure that Microsoft insert in powerpoint (like in most of it's software) tricks to make the life hard to the competitors (us). Thats why we should have some sort of tracking to the power point versions and have a way to make these slides run smoothly under openSUSE. I know at least three old people wanting this, including my mother (91' years old) that have winbdows vista for this only reason and not at all satisfied (she used to have openSUSE), but she need to see the photos, going automatically with the transitions, and listening to ther fair music. Right now, under openSUSE, I'm not even able to identify what is the music codec! Test Case: these files are extremely hudge (and makes more traffic than spam!!). I can share many of them if necessary. Some a read, but most are not completely Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: we want this feature to keep a great number of older people that could be very fine with the openSUSE security and no virus system, but wants to listen and enjoy hundred of slideshow (at least three different each day :-)) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311440

Feature added by: Vadims Korsaks (truckk) Feature #310942, revision 1 Title: include BCache (cache on SSD) in kernel openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Vadims Korsaks (truckk) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Bcache is a patch to use SSDs to transparently cache arbitrary block devices. Its main claim to fame is that it's designed for the performance characteristics of SSDs - it avoids random writes and extraneous IO at all costs, instead allocating buckets sized to your erase blocks and filling them up seqentially. It uses a hybrid btree/log, instead of a hash table as some other caches. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: SSD devices can help improve rotation disks performance, this will give better overal performance and allow to use big rotation disks capacity. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310942

[New: openFATE 310975] Video Driver Pre-Install Script for ATI Installation

Feature added by: Helen South (helen-au) Feature #310975, revision 1 Title: Video Driver Pre-Install Script for ATI Installation openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Helen South (helen-au) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Installing ATI Catalyst is problematic, possibly due to pre-existing FGLRX drivers which need to be removed before installation of the ATI drivers. It's remarkably easy for a non technical user to come up with a botched installation. Doubly so for the 64 bit version which has 32 bit dependencies. openSUSE needs some sort of easy-install process, which will find and remove any conflicting FGLRX drivers, and if possible download and install the right ATI driver for the current kernel.

[New: openFATE 311446] Split Kernel rpms from Tumbleweed repo

Feature added by: Bill P (google01103) Feature #311446, revision 1 Title: Split Kernel rpms from Tumbleweed repo openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Bill P (google01103) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently the Tumbleweed repo contains both app and kernel rpms, I propose that the Tumbleweed project be split into 2 repos - kernel and apps. The reason for this being that updating a kernel can be much more problematic/disruptive to an existing install compared to just updating apps. I admit this might be an unwarranted personal concern but it gives me pause when considering using the Tumbleweed repo. Locking the kernel rpms would also lock the oss repo's kernel updates which would not be a wise move as oss kernel updates have defined pupose (stability, security). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311446

[New: openFATE 312151] make KDE's "kickoff" launcher menu recognizable in "Add widgets"

Feature added by: NCE_DDI BCI Da (bci) Feature #312151, revision 1 Title: make KDE's "kickoff" launcher menu recognizable in "Add widgets" openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: NCE_DDI BCI Da (bci) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Nearly once a month, one of our users somehow manages to vanish his application launcher menu (aka kickoff), angry asking "Where's my green start button gone?!". Even if he then manages to get to his panel options and find the "Add widgets" function, he'll never discover "my greenish chameleon symbol" there. He's usually completely lost at identifying the entry "Application Launcher Menu" as his missing widget, because that only bears that standard, feebly blue/white "K gear" symbol. Even if he then manages to remember his missing bit was named like "kick" and types "kick" or "kickoff" in the search field of the "Add widgets" window - he'll find nothing... Why is that? So I'd like to suggest: - change the symbol of "Application Launcher Menu" in the "Add widgets" list to the green "SUSEgreeter" symbol everybody recognizes at once - give this entry the keyword "kickoff" so that searching for "kick*" would reveal exactly this entry Since I'm a systems administrator and not a developer, PLEASE upstream this to KDE4 if it'd be rather their responsibility. Many thanks and keep up the good work!! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312151

I think that they won't be main "work force" in the field but it is really great to have OpenSuse tablet with you wherever you go. It is just convenient for a lot of tasks. Please, read the topic of forum. I will update it with all necessary information to help community to make such capacitive screens work correctly. Test Case: I have bought a device with 10.1" capacitive touch screen. I have tried OpenSuse Milestone 5 (future release). It works great, but... My capacitive touch screen positioning cursor correctly but when I touch screen, it is like I clicking mouse for 9 times. One touch of icon of a program... and it opens it 9 times. I looked in hardware information in yast and the name of my touch panel in the following: UNITEC Touch Panel (Win7) Vendor number: 205437 It works good, but not useful, because I cannot really touch any icon with my finger, it will open it 9 times...

Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Having just upgraded my openSUSE-11.3 to 1.4 on my Compaq Presario V2000, and performed a test installation of 12.1 on another Compaq laptop of the same model, I would like to suggest that both versions, 2.x and 3x, of the Gnome desktop be made available and maintained. I can see how someone who is not real techie or geekie might appreciate how Gnome 3.x, by default, hides the system from them. There are no doubt a lot of people who really like that feature. For me, that "feature" is one of the reasons I dumped KDE4. I liked KDE3 because it didn't hide the system from me and, at that time, Gnome 2 did. Then, the situation changed. Gnome came out and KDE hid. Now, both KDE and Gnome are hiding with KDE4 and Gnome 3. I like Gnome 2.x with Compiz, Cairo Dock, and Screenlets. That's my interface and distributions that implement desktops which it impossible to use those three items (such as Gnome 3 does) end up losing me as a user. I'm sure that I'm not alone in this. Everything else about openSUSE, (I don't know about dual-head - I couldn't get it to work with Nvidia cards, but Mandrivia's 2010.2 did), is wonderful. It installs easily and the defaults work well with most hardware (Except Nvidia, where that idiotic Nouveau driver is used), including WiFi. Anyhow, this is about the desktop application. If you have no intention of making Gnome 2.x available to openSUSE 12.x, maybe you could maintain and support the 11.x along parallel lines so those of us who like Gnome 2.x could stick with openSUSE instead of having to change our lives (yet again) because our distro has tossed us under the proverbial bus. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313180

These are installing NVIDIA proprietary drivers and multimedia codecs. I have even written it in C++ and libyui. This is my first serious C++ app, so don't blame me if it's crap ;) . My version of SUSEgreeter detects if nouveau drivers are in use and then proposes to install NVIDIA drivers (it downloads & runs http://opensuse-community.org/nvidia.ymp) The same with multimedia-it searches with zypper if any package with "codec" in name is installed, and if not it downloads one-click multimedia installer (it detects whether you are using KDE or not). Comments are really appreciated. We don't need to use my app, somebody can add it to original SUSEgreeter. You can download source here (http://www.mediafire.com/?d5fmf6w6bbrmmfm) and here (http://www.mediafire.com/?h6aonpva1bi6b28) is the compiled i586 rpm.

Feature added by: Narayansamy S (vazhavandan) Feature #314660, revision 1 Title: YaST To Suggest Language Change when changing time openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Narayansamy S (vazhavandan) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When one changes Date and Time through YaST, YaST can suggest changing Language settings according to the timezone and country selected. We should avoid tight coupling of these functionality as it will prevent me from using Eng as language if set Saigon as as my location.At the same time YaST should suggest that it will try and change the language settings. Use Case: If i choose Region:Asia and Time Zone : Saigon in "Date and Time" YaST can suggest that it will change Language to Vietnamese. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314660

Feature added by: Stefan Frank (stefanf74) Feature #311035, revision 1 Title: Support different linux installations in grub openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stefan Frank (stefanf74) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When you update your kernel via Suse updater, the entries for different linux installations in grub disappear. Just the Suse and the Windows (!) entries are preserved. I have following entries in grub: Suse 11.3 Ubuntu 10.4 Floppy Windows After update the kernel you have to register the Ubuntu entry manually. Why dose openSuse support Windows entries and no other linux entries! Please support different installations in openSuse 11.4 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311035
