[New: openFATE 316533] NTP server from DHCP request should be considered at Installation

Feature added by: Marco Roose (mroose) Feature #316533, 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 43 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/316533

[New: openFATE 311244] install time enhancement for partitionner
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Nov '16

Feature added by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #311244, revision 1 Title: install time enhancement for partitionner openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: NB: too late for 11.4, to be seen for next (12?) one. when somebody have to install openSUSE, the moment he have to partition his drive is the key moment. Any error could make him lose his favorite (previous) system. The install system makes it's best to guess the better way to do this, but unless the disk is brand new, the result is random. For anybody not familiar with the partitionner, the two options (create partition/modify partitions) are unsignificant: that is they meaning have nothing obvious, the two of them keep the initial proposal. We should have a third option: guided partitionning, with something like this: * if windows install was found: ask: do you want to remove your windows install or keep it? If the answer is to remove, no problem. If the answer is to keep, an other question have to be asked: "you have to reduce the size of a windows partition". This one looks like a data partition (show some files on the partition) do you want openSUSE to use it (if yes, go to th reduce partition module). etc. we could discuss to have a fully, optional dialog -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311244

[New: openFATE 314639] Add PeaZip to the openSUSE software repositories

Feature added by: Mircea Kitsune (MirceaKitsune) Feature #314639, revision 1 Title: Add PeaZip to the openSUSE software repositories openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Mircea Kitsune (mirceakitsune) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: PeaZip is an open-source archive manager which works with various formats and has many useful options as well as a nice interface. I used to have it in Windows, but have been using Ark since I moved to openSUSE with KDE. Since Ark is very limited I tried looking PeaZip up in my repositories, but neither openSUSE's nor Packman have it. If there are no reasons why this program can't be added to openSUSE by default, could you please make this application part of the distribution? http://peazip.sourceforge.net/ Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: PeaZip is a very useful and complete archive manager, and it might help many users to have an easy way of installing it like everything else. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314639

[New: openFATE 313289] Configuration of common options during installation
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Christian Spaan (Gyges88) Feature #313289, revision 1 Title: Configuration of common options during installation openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Christian Spaan (gyges88) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When installing openSUSE there is usually little to do once you've set up basic options like time zone and keyboard layout - apart from waiting and watching the slide show. While this is nice for newbies, it might be sort of a waste of time for experienced users. So why not add the possibility to configure common options that had to be set after installation at many different places otherwise? So here is an initial list of potential things to configure during installation: 1. Wallpaper 2. KDE theme 3. KDE Menu Style 4. Additional time zone 5. Numlock activated/deactivated at startup 6. Install proprietary stuff: drivers, codecs, fonts 7. Network: ifup vs. network manager 8. NTFS rw for any user 9. Bootloader configuration (especially startup order for dual boot/multi boot setups) This feature might be useful for every user who wants to customize or configure the system according to his needs. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313289
