Feature added by: Adam Mizerski (etamPL) Feature #309345, revision 1 Title: View lisf of files in not installed package openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Adam Mizerski (etampl) Description: In YaST package manager it's possible to view list of files of package that is installed. But it's not possible for not installed ones. This should be possible to do without downloading all packages, because lists of files are written in ARCHIVES.gz in YaST repos and repodata/filelists.xml.gz in YUM repos. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309345

Feature added by: 嘉樺張 (iamchiahua) Feature #308434, revision 1 Title: Add Ubuntu-like software center to support 1-click install/uninstall openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: 嘉樺張 (iamchiahua) Description: A software manager support 1-click install/uninstall is more suitable for novice. They just need to know the software, rather than the package. The original package management is reserved for advanced users. Ubuntu software center is a good idea to support the following two features. #305582: Off-Line one click install (MSI for Linux) #305305: 1-click uninstall(MS Uninstaller for Linux) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308434

Feature added by: andrea florio (anubisg1) Feature #307942, revision 1 Title: change YaST PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT beavier from EXIT to RESTART openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: andrea florio (anubisg1) Description: YaST actually looks to crasch after an installation is end. according to /etc/sysconfig/yast2 # The summary dialog is always displayed when an installation error has occured. so set that value to summary is un-useful, since the only time i need to read a summary is when something fail. i think the best way is just to do as any other package manager i used on debian/ubuntu, mandriva, fedora. just go back to "package search/selection" screen. that means set the value PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT="restart" -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307942

[New: openFATE 309504] Update dhcpcd to 5.2.2

Feature added by: ron neilly (rjneilly) Feature #309504, revision 1 Title: Update dhcpcd to 5.2.2 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: ron neilly (rjneilly) Description: Upgrade from dhcpcd v3.2.3.x, which is in openSUSE 11.2 and 11.3-Factory, to v5.2.2. It seems that we are using a very old dhcpcd that has many issues, some that won't be fixed because they are addressed in more recent releases. So why not upgrade to a current version? v5.2.2 was released on March 31, 2010. v3.2.3 was released over two years ago on Feb 25, 2008 If this can't make it into 11.3 then put on the list for 11.4 Cheers, Ron -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309504

[openFATE 306917] Improvements to restricted-multimedia codecs installer
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Nov '16

20 Nov '16

Feature added by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #306917, revision 1 Title: Improvements to restricted-multimedia codecs installer openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: At the moment the execution of opensuse-codecs-installer leads to a rather unnerving chain of events for beginners starting with the webpage. http://software.opensuse.org/codecs?client_version=10.3.1&lang=en_GB.UTF-8&… 11.1 (x86_64)&kernel=2.6.27.23-0.1-default&gstreamer=gstreamer-utils-0.10.21-3.13& The request is to either have a different implementation of codec-installer itself (for example, clicking the search for codecs button on the codec installer automatically starts a one-click-installer for installing required multimedia packages), or improve the codec-installer website to make things easy (reduce number of clicks required to just 1 or 2) and trivial (ie. no decision-making about fluendo/community, etc). Use Case: New user (openSUSE virgin ;) , i.e., any MAN or WOMAN who hasn't used openSUSE yet, possibly only has used windows till now) tries to play an mp3 file. Then the following sequence starts: 1) Codecs-installer pops up. 2) User clicks on install codecs (preferably call it restricted-multimedia support). 3) Browser opens, shows up website with version of opensuse and desktop environment detected. 4) User clicks to start one-click installer. 5) Installatin completes, user retries playing mp3 file, it works, user happy. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306917

[New: openFATE 316533] NTP server from DHCP request should be considered at Installation
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Nov '16

20 Nov '16

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

Feature added by: Hanka Bielicka (paul424) Feature #316858, revision 1 Title: Add Package for RapidXml !!!! openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Hanka Bielicka (paul424) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: As in title , spend several minutes searching for RapidXml package. I know now that it is the header only library. We want the zypper/rpm to be the solely install/unisntall tool for OS , right ? So when I miss lib I start to look for it in your repos .

Feature added by: Piotrek Juzwiak (BenderBendingRodriguez) Feature #308043, revision 1 Title: Use Open Video drivers openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) Description: It would be very desirable if the open video drivers (nouveau, ati and intel) were used by default BUT in the presence of the closed drivers (as we know they still have a better quality and allow 3d operations) switch to them. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308043
