[New: openFATE 312959] Make the best working desktop default
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

Feature added by: Stefan Seyfried (seife) Feature #312959, revision 1 Title: Make the best working desktop default openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stefan Seyfried (seife) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: For every distribution, make the best working desktop default. Right now, KDE is default even though it is obviously broken. Let's decide for each release, which desktop is the best working and give that one the honor of being the default. Which metrics to apply to decide which desktop is good working and which one is not is open to debate, we could go for things like "open bug count" for example. Maybe we should limit the selection to "general purpose desktops" and leave out the more esoteric ones like awesome, larswm and such, but decide at least among * KDE * GNOME * LXDE * XFCE Which are all full featured desktops ready for end users. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312959

[New: openFATE 313040] Prettier boot process
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 16 Nov '16

Feature added by: Anomyous Anomyous (jcat123) Feature #313040, revision 1 Title: Prettier boot process openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Anomyous Anomyous (jcat123) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Right now, the boot process looks kinda ugly. systemd makes a jumble of codes and the splash screen is boring. For 12.2, the pretty green dones and the red faileds should be brought back to the boot process and the geeko logo should do more than roll it s eye a little. Have it do something, like shift color sort of like a progress bar or walk around as the machine boots up. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313040

Feature added by: Stefan Frank (stefanf74) Feature #312673, revision 1 Title: Enable Sub-Pixel-Hinting openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stefan Frank (stefanf74) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: To improve the look of fonts, enable the Sub-Pixel-Hinting. The patents that lead to subpixel font hinting being turned of by default in the freetype2 library have now expired! So please enable this feature in version 12.1. Ubuntu (since 10.4?) has already enabled it. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312673

Feature added by: Lutz Thuns (lOtz1009) Feature #310939, revision 1 Title: [zypper] add package counter openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Lutz Thuns (lotz1009) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When installing/updating with zypper and "--download in-advance" zypper shows a counter of how many packages are to be downloaded and at which position we currently are: Paket kscd-4.5.4-2.5.x86_64 wird abgerufen (145/177) , 130,0 KiB (1,3 MiB entpackt) When it comes to installing the downloaded packages, this counter is currently not showing: Installation von: kscd-4.5.4-2.5 [fertig] I'd like to have this counter there too. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310939

[New: openFATE 311697] zypper progress indicator
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 16 Nov '16

Feature added by: Bryen Yunashko (byunashko) Feature #311697, revision 1 Title: zypper progress indicator openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Bryen Yunashko (byunashko) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Provide an indicator using zypper up or zypper dup to let the user know how far along the process is (preferably by percentage.) Use Case: Especially challenging if you are in the middle of zypper updates and unsure how far along you need to do something else (even possibly come back to the machine. Knowing what percentage of the progress is completed would be useful. I don't think we want some other type of indicator (e.g. how much time left) because there's too many variables. But a percentage should be fairly straightforward. We know how many packages are to be downloaded/installed and how many are completed so far. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Makes use of zypper less intimidating to some users who feel they are at the mercy of a command that doesn't tell them how they are doing. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311697

[New: openFATE 311696] Auto-disable trackpad when external mouse detected
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

Feature added by: Bryen Yunashko (byunashko) Feature #311696, revision 1 Title: Auto-disable trackpad when external mouse detected openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Bryen Yunashko (byunashko) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Give the user the option to request the system automatically disable the trackpad on laptops when an external mouse (USB, Wireless, etc.) is detected. Use Case: In many cases, having the trackpad (which is usually ill-placed where your hands are supposed to rest) causes the typist to accidentally brush against it and cause typing errors. This is also a problem for some people with accessibility needs who require a different mouse and the trackpad can cause problems. Control Center offers an option to disable the trackpad in GNOME. (Not sure about KDE) but this is a problem if you do not always attach your mouse to your laptop. Then you have a disabled trackpad the next time you boot up. So it's not a very good workaround to this problem. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It would enhance the user experience. I'm told that Windows has this option (though I haven't used Windows in ages.) and I'm also told that other Linux distributions don't seem to have this feature yet either. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311696
