Feature added by: Carl Fletcher (caf4926) Feature #311267, revision 1 Title: Two tier option to Community repository list openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Carl Fletcher (caf4926) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In brief: Working in Yast > Software Repositories Add > Community Repositories Make a default community repo list Eg: OSS, NON-OSS, UPDATES, PACKMAN, NVIDIA, ATI, LIBDVDCSS And offer an advanced option available with a toggle (That should include a warning that it is for advanced users) Like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/SUSE%20Misc/community_list_edit.png Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Reason: Typically many users who are installing openSUSE, perhaps for the first time are visiting the community repo list and just switching them all on. The result is not good and is giving users a bad experience. We obviously don't want to remove the option for using the complete list, but it would be better giving at least some indication that a degree of knowledge is required for their use. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311267

[New: openFATE 310563] Dashboard Install GUI
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

Feature added by: Jeremy Thornton (leebrad) Feature #310563, revision 1 Title: Dashboard Install GUI openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jeremy Thornton (leebrad) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Create a dashboard install on the DVD at the installation screen to help new users better understand the install options available to them. By this I mean where the selections come up to install Gnome, KDE, etc. that a dashboard listing replace it showing the Gnome, KDE, LXDE, XCFE, JeOS, Server, and Server/Server GUI as separate icons rather than a drop down list to select. Additionally, as the user scrolls across the icon it would give them a a summary description of the type of system it will install and possibly a screenshot or two to see if they will like it visually. Then as the install proceeds the user can customize the package selection later as is currently part of the system. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Users for the most part naturally take the path of least resistance so dashboard will provide both choice and GUI ease of use for the user while offering something innovative to the installer that to date Ubuntu has not implement but is possibly on the verge especially with the intro of Meerkat. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310563

[New: openFATE 308892] Replace scim with IBUS
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Mingxi Wu (Mingxi_Wu) Feature #308892, revision 1 Title: Replace scim with IBUS openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Mingxi Wu (mingxi_wu) Description: SCIM upstream is almost dead. We should not keep an unmaintained software in openSUSE. IBUS (http://code.google.com/p/ibus/) a new developed input method is very active and full functionality, and other distributions like Ubuntu (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/desktop-karmic-input-methods) and Fedora already had done this. We have some contributors done the IBUS packaging at OBS https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home:swyear:ibus . Everything is OK on my openSUSE 11.2 box except fail to enable it in a gnomesu window, but this is not a problem as other distributions don't have this bug. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308892

[New: openFATE 310837] Enhance grub configuration for multiboot systems
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

Feature added by: Martin Pröfrock (MartinProefrock) Feature #310837, revision 1 Title: Enhance grub configuration for multiboot systems openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Martin Pröfrock (martinproefrock) Description: When installing Windows (version 7 with me), then openSUSE 11.3, and no partition is marked "active", then hibernating (suspend to disk) in Windows 7 does not work anymore after installing linux. When activating the "activate" checkbox in the Windows section of the grub configuration, it works. Could you change the intial(?) grub configuration or display a hint (flashing, big, ...)? I could imagine quite some people spending a lot of time with their favorite search engine to find out that solution. I did... As usual, Windows does not give any error messages besides a meaningless "file not found (2)" when starting the action from a cmd line. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310837

[New: openFATE 309221] Simplify adding OBS repos
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Stefan Majewsky (majewsky) Feature #309221, revision 1 Title: Simplify adding OBS repos openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stefan Majewsky (majewsky) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When I want to add a build service repository, I have to find a quite cryptic URL, such as http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openS…. Much of the information in this URL is redundant and error-prone, such as the domain and the distribution version. It would be much nicer if Zypper and YaST knew about the repo structure of the OBS, so I could type something like obs://KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop, and have Zypper/YaST figure out the rest. Extra points if browsers could figure out that "obs://" URLs should be handled by YaST. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This reduces error sources. For example, if I provided some repository that provides some closed-source drivers, I would currently have to provide a gigantic list of repository URLs for all supported openSUSE versions. With the proposed change, the description for how to use such a repository would boil down to: 1. Add the repository "obs://home:foobar:importantdrivers". 2. Do a system upgrade. With the browser integration, we could even have something like a one-click installation for repositories. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309221

[New: openFATE 308424] Please port Light style revision 2 theme to KDE4

Feature added by: Ilya Chernykh (Ansus) Feature #308424, revision 1 Title: Please port Light style revision 2 theme to KDE4 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ilya Chernykh (ansus) Description: Please port Light style revision 2 theme from KDE3 to KDE4. This is the best-looking widget theme ever in my opinion. This makes transition to KDE4 much easier and allows for better coexistence of KDE3 and KDE4 applications. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308424

[New: openFATE 310987] Add Intel Atom as a specific architecture
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Jiri Dluhos (jdluhos) Feature #310987, revision 1 Title: Add Intel Atom as a specific architecture openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jiri Dluhos (jdluhos) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Atom processors, currently very popular in lightweight devices, behave very differently from common Intel/AMD processors; although they can execute code optimized for common x86 or x86-64, they don't run it much efficiently. Because they are not that fast, every cycle counts. I believe it would be useful to consider them a separate sub-architecture that deserves its own set of compilation options. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310987

[New: openFATE 311322] Add button to change color depth on Display Monitor
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Roman Bysh (Romanator) Feature #311322, revision 1 Title: Add button to change color depth on Display Monitor openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Roman Bysh (romanator) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I'm proposing that we add an extra button to the Display and Monitor settings to change the color depth. Since sax2 was deprecated. We have been missing a way to dynamically change the color depth. Sax2 used to have a button to allow users to change the color depth. For example: * 8-bit * 15-bit * 16-bit * 24-bit * 32-bit Let's vote to add this feature to the Display and Monitor in KDE. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311322
