Feature added by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #311439, revision 1 Title: have a decent linear video editor openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When searching why I still switch to Windows, I have little answers but two or three. One of them is having a decent video editor, like this proprietary one: http://www.magix.com/us/ (cost only approx $100), extrremely powerfull. We already have some editors (Kdenlive, kino, openshot, openmovie, blender) Use Case: To edit the 11.4 tutorials I had to use Magix. No Linux editor could do the same without crashing every 10 minutes... and I really dislike making openSUSE tutorials with a proprietary software Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: On my opinion, we are not that far of the result, but may be we would have to give 2/3 more developpers to the right project. for now I see three capable projects: * kdenlive, the kde editor. It's the most promising, but for some years now it's still excessively buggy. Not even able to save and load correctly a project! * blender. Blender have a very special interface, so I couldn't really test it, but the Blender developpers use to be extremely fine, so I trust them. I will try it more, but may be need to buils a doc in the mean time * cinelerra. let alone because it may be the older project, and said to be very fine for it's goal. Used to ask for enormous amount of power (cluster of 100 machines) and specially fitted to jpeg movy editor, very professional, may be too much for the average :-( So we need one and we can have one if we devote some manpower to it -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311439

[New: openFATE 312775] Add support of Atheros AR81Family NIC

Feature added by: Martin Hunek (Hunator) Feature #312775, revision 1 Title: Add support of Atheros AR81Family NIC openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Martin Hunek (hunator) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Please add support of Atheros AR81Family network cards into DVD. There is a existing kernel module for that (atl1e for Atheros AR8151), it can be found in file: AR81Family-Linux-v1.0.1.9.tar.gz (on first page when googled). I was a little stacked when i installed OpenSuSe 11.4 without network running. I encounter AR8151 NIC already on 2 newer devices so i think it will become really common. Please excuse my english and also if i wrote somewhere i should not, I am newbie here. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312775

[New: openFATE 314746] Add Package gptfdisk to ALL openSUSE Installlation Disks
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

Feature added by: James McDaniel (jdmcdaniel3) Feature #314746, revision 1 Title: Add Package gptfdisk to ALL openSUSE Installlation Disks openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: James McDaniel (jdmcdaniel3) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: GPT Partitioned disks are becoming much more common and so the ability to deal with these disks in every way must be native to ALL openSUSE installation media. The gptfdisk package seems to fill that need and should be included by default. Please consider adding in the package gptfdisk to ALL new openSUSE 12.3 installation media. Thank You, Test Case: Try to create a dual boot between Windows 8 and openSUSE 12.2 on a pre-existing GPD partitioned disk (with secure boot disabled). You need the package gptfdisk utilities to make the right partition types. Use Case: The gptfdisk package allows you to manually create the right partition types on a GPT disk when the automatic installer fails to do so. It makes it possible to deal with and create dual booting GPT disks. Using the UEFI mode of openSUSE does work, but often you can not create the right partition types manually when it is required. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: openSUSE musty be able to automatically or manually deal with all disk types such as GPT partition disks on a UEFI based PC. Add this package and we will have the right tools that we need. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314746

[New: openFATE 311353] Move libvclplug_kde4lx.so library to libreoffice-kde4 package
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (RGBsuse) Feature #311353, revision 1 Title: Move libvclplug_kde4lx.so library to libreoffice-kde4 package openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (rgbsuse) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: kde4 integration on openSUSE's LibO version is still problematic, so many kde users (including myself) prefer to not use kde integration at all instead of fighting problems generated by that integration (which as a mater of fact, it is not enabled on upstream LibO). But uninstalling libreoffice-kde4 package is not enough: the library(1) libvclplug_kde4lx.so must be deleted or renamed, something that must be done on EVERY LibO update. Moving libvclplug_kde4lx.so library from libreoffice-libs-gui to libreoffice-kde4 will easy LibO setup for kde users that do not want to use kde4 integration. (1) located at /usr/lib64/libreoffice/basis-link/program/ on 64 bits systems. Use Case: People with problems like bug 674806 (there are many others) that do not want to use kde4 integration but are afraid of using rm command on a system folder will see this as an enhancement. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Not all kde4 users are happy with the kde4 integration enabled on openSUSE's LibO version, but there is no straightforward way of disabling it. In order to not ask unhappy users to perform dangerous operations as root (after all, rm is a dangerous command), to gather every LibO's kde4 related library on the same package will give the user more options. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311353

[New: openFATE 311289] Let Dolphin open PERL documents in Kwrite
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Feature #311289, revision 1 Title: Let Dolphin open PERL documents in Kwrite openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Register Kwrite as the handler for application/x-perl . Test Case: Steps to reproduce 1) { h2xs -A -n Mytest; } 2) Tell Dolphin to navigate to Mytest . 3) Tell Dolphin to open Makefile.PL . Actual results 3. Dolphin is unable to find a handler for application/x-perl . Expected results 3. Dolphin should tell Kwrite to open Makefile.PL . Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Note: this is only an annoyance, since Kwrite is eventually called when the dialogue box is dismissed. However, Kwrite is perfectly capable of handling PERL code and I can see no reason why it is not registered as a handler for it. Also, I am told that Factory eventually offers to install mousepad . -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311289

[New: openFATE 311583] Graphical integration of LibreOffice in openSuse

Feature added by: Jerome EPRINCHARD (radzaquiel) Feature #311583, revision 1 Title: Graphical integration of LibreOffice in openSuse openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jerome EPRINCHARD (radzaquiel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Despise of LibO official arrival in openSUSE 11.4, we can still see the old OOo-like icons in Kickoff. Besides, I don't know if it's KDE or openSUSE but with Oxygen theme enabled, we got the old OOo documents icons on LibO start screen as in LibO menus. It would be better to integrate LibO filetype & modules icons or openSUSE-stylized/KDE stylized icons. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: A clearer differentiation between OpenOffice.org & LibreOffice. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311583

[New: openFATE 313168] Suggestion for making KDE4 base apps portable and stand-alone.
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

Feature added by: hal dawn (finders) Feature #313168, revision 1 Title: Suggestion for making KDE4 base apps portable and stand-alone. openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: hal dawn (finders) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Suggestion for making KDE4 base apps portable and stand-alone. KDE4 requires me to install apple device compatibility libraries and desktop search if I dare to install any KDE4 application on top of minimal X setup. (I'm not talking about patterns) I don't have any apple devices to use with my KDE4 desktop and I'm not interested in desktop search features, even less interested in social network integration. If I choose to install plasma desktop, kde session, dolphin, kmix, kwrite, ksnapshot and konsole... I'd expect it to install just these things that I asked for, not PIM, sql servers, zeitgeist, strigi and nepomuk. Certainly not libs for my non-existant iphone and my non-existant QR code reader. If I dare to remove any of these dependencies, I end up with broken KDE which should not be the case, I'm aware KDE4 can be built without them. Mandatory libs required for basic functionality should be merged into kdelibs4 package, the rest should be optional. (My opinion anyway) Bonus RPG quote : The Builder places thy challenges before thee as a stairway of hewn stone up the tower of thine life. When thou seekest to add to those challenges, to compass thine pride, thou dost clutter the design of the stairway, and introduce cracks and weaknesses, through which The Trickster mayest enter and bring thy ruin! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313168
