Feature added by: Flavio Castelli (flavio_castelli) Feature #316872, revision 1 Title: Support exfat out of the box openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Flavio Castelli (flavio_castelli) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Latest version of openSUSE (13.1) cannot mount disks formatted using exFAT file system. There's a GPL kernel driver provided by Samsung which seems to be working fine: * https://github.com/dorimanx/exfat-nofuse * http://sfconservancy.org/news/2013/aug/16/exfat-samsung/ There are already packages for that inside of OBS: * http://software.opensuse.org/package/exfat-nofuse It would be nice (and really user friendly) to have these packages shipped with the default kernel *or* to have them within the official openSUSE repositories. Use Case: A friend of mine gives me a usb key with some documents I need to copy. The usb key is formatted using exFAT, because that's what Windows proposed to my friend. I plug the usb key into my openSUSE computer and I'm immediately able to view its contents. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Because latest windows version are pushing usage of this file systems. openSUSE users must be able to access usb disks/drives without having to mess around with the kernel/zypper. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316872

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

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
