Feature added by: Joachim Werner (joachimwerner) Feature #318951, revision 1 Title: YaST should log time like dmesg and journalctl Requested by: Arvin Schnell (aschnell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: YaST should log the time in its log-file like 'dmesg' and 'journalctl --output short-monotonic' so that times in the various logs can be compared and events can be synchronized. Relations: - YaST should log time like dmesg and journalctl (feature/copiedfrom: 318921) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Easier to analyse logs in bug reports. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318951

[New: openFATE 320386] YaST2 modules for ifcfg-tunnel and ifcfg-bonding as part
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 05 Feb '16

Feature added by: Mikhail Kasimov (k_mikhail) Feature #320386, revision 1 Title: YaST2 modules for ifcfg-tunnel and ifcfg-bonding as part Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Mikhail Kasimov (k_mikhail) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: man ifcfg-tunnel | grep YaST : "Since there is no YaST2 support for creating tunnels one must appropriate config files by hand for now". So, the idea is to plan developing of 'yast2-network-tunnels' and 'yast2-network-bonding' modules and add them as sub-modules to main 'yast2-network' module. Then have possibility to its parameters from main 'yast2-network'. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: User|admin will have possibility to set network-tunnel and|or network-bonding parameters from main 'yast2-network' window on 'Tunnels' and 'Bonding' tabs respectively. If 'yast2-network-tunnels' and|or 'yast2-network-bonding' modules are not installed, 'Tunnels' and 'Bonding' tabs on main 'yast2-network' window will be disabled. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/320386

[New: openFATE 319895] Add btrfs subvolume options to autoyast

Feature added by: Robert Klein (kleinrob) Feature #319895, revision 1 Title: Add btrfs subvolume options to autoyast openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Robert Klein (kleinrob) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently you can't specify btrfs subvolume options is a autoYaST control file. E.g. the standard install of Leap 42.1 creates four subvolumes with option "no copy on write": - @/var/lib/libvirt/images - @/var/lib/mariadb - @/var/lib/mysql - @/var/lib/pgsql There ought to be a way to achieve this with autoYaST. Currently subvolumes are specified as: <subvolumes config:type="list"> <listentry>boot/grub2/i386-pc</listentry> <listentry>boot/grub2/x86_64-efi</listentry> <listentry>home</listentry> </subvolumes> a possibly syntax could be e.g.: <subvolumes config:type="list"> <subvolume> <subvolume-path>var/lib/pgsql</subvolume-path> <subvolume-options>nodatacow,noacl</subvolume-options> </subvolume> </subvolumes> or make the subvolume-options a list.. Also the installer should respect these options and autoyast should use them when creating a reference profile. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/319895

Feature added by: Christian Weist (Chris53ws) Feature #320340, revision 1 Title: AutoKey Package - upgrade to AutoKey-py3 Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Christian Weist (chris53ws) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I suggest to replace the actual Autokey Package by a new one with the current autokey-py3. actual version is 0.93.2 https://github.com/guoci/autokey-py3 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/autokey-py3/0.93.4 It would help users with a non English keyboard a lot. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/320340

[New: openFATE 313233] Get Zypper to remove installed patterns
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 15 Jan '16

Feature added by: Drew Adams (Druonysus) Feature #313233, revision 1 Title: Get Zypper to remove installed patterns openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Drew Adams (druonysus) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Get Zypper to remove a pattern. Zypper can install a pattern nut when going to remove that same pattern, Zypper does not remove that pattern... When do a: "zypper rm -t pattern <pattern name>" Zypper, just tells you: "Uninstallation of a pattern is currently not defined and implemented." You CAN remove a pattern in YaST so I would think that there should be a way to remove the pattern with Zypper. "yum groupremove <group name>" works on Fedora/CentOS/RHEL... we should really have this working to keep up with them. Use Case: If I build a bare openSUSE image on SUSE Studio, and I decide not to install yast and only Zypper... I will only be able to install patterns but NO way to remove it. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313233

[New: openFATE 320279] Install the TOX.im plugin in the Instant Messaging programms
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 09 Jan '16

Feature added by: Philipp Bielefeldt (pbiel) Feature #320279, revision 1 Title: Install the TOX.im plugin in the Instant Messaging programms Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Philipp Bielefeldt (pbiel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: TOX is a relatively young, security-focussed instant messenger [see https://tox.chat/] Although they offer a nice standalone-app, including it into the default chat programms (i.e. Empathy on Gnome DE) would help increase the user base and would also offer openSUSE users an easy way to use (or at least try out) TOX. There is a libpurple plugin [http://tox.dhs.org/] that waorks at least with Pidgin (my short gambling around with it on Empathy was not successful, though). I think it might be a small step for openSUSE to get it waork and ship it by default (we even offer GaduGadu & Myspace!), but a huge Leap (pun intended) for its users! Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Installing Skype works fine, but a lot of people are unhappy with (a) it being a spoofing, data-hungry industry giant and (b) being completely closed-source, Microsoft-dominated and increasingly Linux-unfriendly. TOX solves all these problems. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/320279

[New: openFATE 320260] YaST service manager doesn't handle Instantiated Services ("foo@.service")
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 Jan '16

04 Jan '16

Feature added by: Christian Boltz (cboltz) Feature #320260, revision 1 Title: YaST service manager doesn't handle Instantiated Services ("foo@.service") openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Christian Boltz (cboltz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: YaST2 service manager can't handle "Instantiated Services", for example "openvpn@.service". Expected behaviour: If a user tries to enable or start such a service, - display an input box to get the parameter name - enable/start "openvpn(a)$userinput.service" See https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=960298 (https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=960298) for technical details. Arvin called this a "non-trivial feature request" in the bugreport, but I slightly doubt. In python-like pseudocode, it's something like def handle_enable_button(): servicename = servicelist.selected_service.name # assuming this does not include the ".service" suffix ### begin added code if servicename.endswith('@') param = get_user_input("Please enter the parameter to use") servicename = servicename + 'param' ### end added code shell_exec("systemctl enable " + servicename) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/320260

[New: openFATE 312293] Option to disable disk check on certian volumes in YaST
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 Jan '16

04 Jan '16

Feature added by: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) Feature #312293, revision 1 Title: Option to disable disk check on certian volumes in YaST openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: This is one really really really annoying feature in yast. Here is the scenario, you have a machine with a bunch of storage drives, drives that are normally kept full. Everytime you enter something like package management in YaST it pops up a low disk space warning. This warning should only apply for volumes where YaST utilizes for it's files (such as download cache, home, etc). A HTPC for example often has volumes full to the max. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312293
