[New: openFATE 314492] MySQL Workbench update to 5.2.38
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Nov '16

Feature added by: Kjetil Kilhavn (kjetil_kilhavn) Feature #314492, revision 1 Title: MySQL Workbench update to 5.2.38 openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Kjetil Kilhavn (kjetil_kilhavn) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There is a bug in the current version of mysql-workbench, http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=63857, which prevents use of the workbench for administration of databases. Commit comment for the bug fix: Opening a "Server Administration" tab for a server instance that has remote management via SSH enabled would result in an error, and fail to load. An alternative to updating to version 5.2.38 is of course to implement the patch and release version 5.2.37-4.1.3 Test Case: I am not sure if a clean install will give you the test case easily, but it's worth a try. Start MySQL Workbench Choose âNew Server Instanceâ in the lower right corner. Complete the wizard and try to open the instance. Use Case: A local MySQL database is used for Amarok and Digikam. I am not able to administer the database and add specific (non-root) users for the applications and restrict their accesses to the correct databases. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I would prefer not storing my root password in Digikamâs and Amarokâs configurations. I would also prefer to limit access only to relevant databases in case of a fatal error in any of the programs. This was quite easy to do in MySQL Workbench (although an error in Digikam preventet me from restricting that userâs accesses). However, after reinstalling openSUSE the mentioned bug causes an error message and I am not able to perform any administrative tasks (using the GUI tools). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314492

[New: openFATE 312257] Snapshot/recovery feature with keeping apps
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Nov '16

Feature added by: Kim Leyendecker (openLHAG) Feature #312257, revision 1 Title: Snapshot/recovery feature with keeping apps openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Kim Leyendecker (openlhag) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Dear developers! Dear users! Have a look at this picture: http://i.computer-bild.de/imgs/3/3/2/3/4/4/3/Windows-8-Das-sind-die-geheime… Such a recovery function would be nice for openSUSE 12.1/12.2 and would give openSUSE an advantage against the whole linux-distros and even Mac OS X (Windows will implementate it soon...) But it also will benefit for the users. If you delete some config-files and clear my trash-folder, I can easy reset my system to the early post-installation time BUT, at the same time, keep all my private stuff like photos, music, mails, documents and even code files. WouldnÂ´t be cool to have such a feature? The only thing which prevent this coding-work by myself is the fact, that my knowledge in C and C++ is very limited and canÂ´t solve such a big project. But we get excellent programmers @Novell/SUSE and our community, so I think it would be a nice feature for the next openSUSE release! Use Case: destroyed system - easy recovering - keeping private stuff alive Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Because itÂ´s cool and I want it :D No seriously, because it would it make easy to our users to recover a system and keeping their stuff. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312257

[New: openFATE 311276] Remove or prevent error messages when mounting a removable
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Feature added by: Hans de Raad (hcderaad) Feature #311276, revision 1 Title: Remove or prevent error messages when mounting a removable openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Hans de Raad (hcderaad) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently when mounting a removable (usbstick, dvd, etc) often an error from "org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable" or a "DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending" occurs. These errors occur mostly when using media with multiple partitions. This request is to surpress these errors and only start one filemanagerinstance for the specific medium. These errors appear to be DE-agnostic, until now they show up in GNOME, KDE and Xfce on openSUSE 11.3. Use Case: Insert an usbstick (preferably with multiple partitions) and wait for the "automatic actions". Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: These errors are very confusing, especially to new users, since the device itself seems perfectly alright and usable (not to mention being opened in multiple filemanagerinstances). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311276

[New: openFATE 318422] Visibility of increase of swap partition size for hibernation during install
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Feature added by: Enno Nagel (Konfekt) Feature #318422, revision 1 Title: Visibility of increase of swap partition size for hibernation during install openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Enno Nagel (konfekt) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When partitioning the harddrive where openSUSE 13.2 will install, the option to increase the swap drive to allow for hibernation is hidden in a subdialogue. Because this is a popular feature on desktop installations, and people are reluctant (and the installer discourages) to change the suggested partitioning, the option should be not in a subdialogue but directly visible. Another good reason for a larger default size of the swap partition on an SSD is that overprovisioning (that is, the intentional allocation of unused space, see anandtech.com for studies on this) is still recommended for most models. The swap disk suggests itself for the allocation of that unused space (as it will mostly be unused, but when RAM is short [or its image incompressable if hibernation is used] of good use). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318422

[New: openFATE 320348] improve reporting of package dependency problems in online update
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Feature added by: Joachim Wagner (jowagner) Feature #320348, revision 1 Title: improve reporting of package dependency problems in online update openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Joachim Wagner (jowagner) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently, the problem and solution dialogue for package dependency seems to be the same for software management and online updates. However, to the user, it is confusing to read about that a package cannot be installed because of a missing dependency during an online update and the offered solutions are not useful: clearly, the user doesn't want to uninstall packages or break dependencies at this stage and the solution "do not install patch:openSUSE-[<some number>]" is not conclusive whether this is only about a single package or all updates in this run. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/320348

Feature added by: Oleg Kleschev (Kles4) Feature #311350, revision 1 Title: Provide easy way to mount disk images openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Oleg Kleschev (kles4) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There is no easy way to mount different disk images like iso, nrg,e.t.c. mount -t iso9660... is not really convinient. It's annoying. I've tried to find some scripts for dolphin's "Actios" but haven't find any working solutions. Use Case: Everytime you want to mount an image you right-clicking on image and choosing "Mount" or something like this. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Because mounting via console is annoying. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311350

[New: openFATE 311031] Support of Mp3-konvert in KDE / Dolphin

Feature added by: Stefan Frank (stefanf74) Feature #311031, revision 1 Title: Support of Mp3-konvert in KDE / Dolphin openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stefan Frank (stefanf74) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Its a longt time ago, you can convert an Audio CD very easy into mp3 Files. You just type audiocd:/ in dolphin or konqueror and copy the mp3 Files to your Hard disk. Its much more easy than in Windows. But you always get that errormessage: --------------------- WARNING: libsndfile may ignore -r and perform fseek's on the input. Compile without libsndfile if this is a problem. LAME 3.99 (alpha 1, Jan 5 2010 00:54:43) 32 bits... --------------------- Its worked on Suse 9.3, Kubuntu 10.4, but not in openSuse 11.0, 11.2, 11.3. There are bugreports in KDE bugzilla (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230026), but I think the problem is in the distribution. Please fix that problem, that feature is so smart! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311031
