Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #312412, revision 1 Title: get rid of $HWCLOCK setting openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The $HWCLOCK variable in /etc/sysconfig/clock stores information that is redundant with /etc/adjtime's third line. There should be only one place to store that information. Programs reading /etc/sysconfig/clock: * warpclock from mkinitrd * /etc/init.d/boot.clock from aaa_base * yast2-country Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: consistency -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312412

[New: openFATE 313363] Mad Wifi repositories requested to be included with DVD install

Feature added by: Amy Swanson (freespiritamy) Feature #313363, revision 1 Title: Mad Wifi repositories requested to be included with DVD install Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Amy Swanson (freespiritamy) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I think it would be good to include the mad wifi repositories as part of the yast system on the DVD install that you download from the site. In addition to the repository already being included.. have the mad wifi drivers be present as part of the start up install program so that in the event of an atheros card, or other card that uses the madwifi, being detected, these drivers are automatically installed upon detection... then no ethernet cable would even be needed. Use Case: I have had a couple crashes and every time I have to find an ethernet cable (something I don't normally use AT ALL) for my laptop, google and look for the wiki page that talks about the mad wifi repositories (so glad they have one) copy the URL and paste into my repositories, then look for everything related to my atheros card (mad wifi is the only think that will make it work). This process would be so much simpler if it would just be included from the start.. I'm sure that if I have this problem there are others that do also. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Would be much more efficient especially in this day when so many of us use laptops and only laptops. Ethernet cables are very inconvenient to have to use and look for just so you can get your wifi working... if the drivers are already there then this need is eliminated and the whole process is much more streamlined and trouble free, even enjoyable... then it should work out of the box for most folks. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313363

[New: openFATE 312364] Qualcomm Gobi Wizard, making mobile broadband simple.

Feature added by: Roger Luedecke (Shadowolf7) Feature #312364, revision 1 Title: Qualcomm Gobi Wizard, making mobile broadband simple. openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Roger Luedecke (shadowolf7) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: My HP un2400 Gobi device is supported and should work. Whether it is due to USB mode switching or that the gobi_loader does not work correctly I do not know. There should be a simple wizard like that which ships under Windows (VZW connection manager) to allow me and other users in the same situation to easily make us of the Mobile Broadband we pay for. This is the final thing keeping me from wiping Windows off my netbook entirely. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Use of Mobile Broadband is not likely to decline, but rather increase with the proliferation of affordable increasingly powerful Netbooks. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312364

See freedv.org for details and the link to svn. Thank you. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Let us keep linux 'on the cutting edge' of new ham radio technology and openSUSE there too. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314944

[New: openFATE 313851] Add NetworkManager to laptop pattern
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Nov '16

Feature added by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Feature #313851, revision 1 Title: Add NetworkManager to laptop pattern openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: During an installation NetworkManager should be preferred instead of traditional /etc/init.d/network at least for laptops. It seems that NM runs faster than traditional ifup things and in overall it fits the standard laptop usage more, than static network configuration. Optimizing a boot time, aka 2 second boot (http://lizards.opensuse.org/2012/07/26/optimizing-a-boot-time-aka-2-second-…) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313851

Feature added by: Nelson Marques (ketheriel) Feature #313510, revision 1 Title: Wipe all vt's leaving just graphical one... openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Nelson Marques (ketheriel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Free your mind from your own personal usage and think on the vast majority of Desktop users with openSUSE; Do we need so many tty's? Honestly, many people don't use, so lets just ditch them and leave the system only using 1 single graphical vt. One step closer to a real desktop... and yeah, everyone does it for years... So YOU might actually bring innovation amongst linux vendors... -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313510

[New: openFATE 312972] zypper update license handling
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Nov '16

22 Nov '16

Feature added by: Eduard Avetisyan (dich) Feature #312972, revision 1 Title: zypper update license handling openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Eduard Avetisyan (dich) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: With every flashplayer or java update "zypper up" asks to confirm the license agreement over and over again. It would be nice if the license needs confirmation ONLY if it has changed since the last "Agreed" action. Making the "-l" option default is not a very good idea since sometimes the license may change in an unpredictable way, but if it's unchanged it gets really annoying. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312972

[New: openFATE 312690] YaST Software Management -- Install from cache

Feature added by: Brian Sherson (shersonb) Feature #312690, revision 1 Title: YaST Software Management -- Install from cache openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Brian Sherson (shersonb) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Since Software Management allows users the option to save downloaded packages, it would be nice to also give the option of installing a saved RPM. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Suppose a user, by intent or otherwise, installs a new version of a particular package that has become available in one of the repositories. If the user decides revert to the previous version that was saved from before, it may be convenient to select the old version from Software Management, provided the package exists in the cache. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312690
