Feature added by: hehe br (hehe_br) Feature #321478, revision 1 Title: Updated texlive in the main repository openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: hehe br (hehe_br) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Here are some suggestions for texlive in openSUSE: 1) Make the package manager to recognise texlive installation from texlive own installer.(Installation apart from package manager) 2) Make texlive not an obligatory installation for tex related apps. For example, if I want to install Gummy tex editor it will install the whole outdated version of texlive (2013) that is in the main repository. 3) Is there a way to keep texlive in the main repository in sync with texlive own repository? The texlive in Publishing:Texlive repository is better(2016) but does not have the latest updates. Thanks for your help and attention! Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: texlive in the main repository is outdated! (2013) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/321478

Feature added by: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Feature #317716, revision 1 Title: Make Source Sans Pro default font openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Adobe some time back release 2 new fonts as open source fonts, Source Sans Pro and Source Code Pro. Both of them are very beautiful, I use them as default font for about a year. Source code pro is the BEST for text editor, terminal and IDEs. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I believe we must make Source Sans Pro as default san sarif font, as it will make it more pleasing and easy to read. Using Source Code Pro for terminals and text editor will improve readability and reduce strain on eyes. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/317716

Feature added by: Nick Mantas (orion_0) Feature #318635, revision 1 Title: Installation-update to newer vesrions without CD/DVD openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Nick Mantas (orion_0) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: My proposal is the development of a way to install new distros or update to new ones without having to use CD/DVD. This feature can be available within YaST or as a stand-alone program ,to be available for use for other Linux Distros as well. You mount the ISO within the program and the installation starts without having to burn a disk Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We all get excited when the new version of openSUSE becomes avalable for download. We literally RUSH to the local computer store to get a CD/DVD,or beg others to lend us one, in order to test it... unless we have... Now imagine a program or a YaST extention where you mount the ISO you just downloaded without having to to burn a disk. Not only convenient but also eco-friendly as it reduces the amount of disks and unnecesary waste!! Proposed name: ISOtope (isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number. Same here:same ISO, different installation way) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318635

Feature added by: Belleux Olivier (Lord-Master) Feature #317941, revision 1 Title: Modern Pager for kde plasma openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Belleux Olivier (lord-master) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The plasmoid "pager" is not suitable for managing a variable number of workspaces under kde 4 ; I suggest, for kde 4/5 a new plasmoid that displays the number of the current desktop id/total number of desktop like gnome-shell do;for changing of desktop it will be possible to use the mouse wheel or to shown a panel on left click. Maybe a "green plus" in the plasmoÃ¯d could help adding a new destop -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/317941

Feature added by: Zajączkowski Marcin (edved) Feature #312334, revision 1 Title: Installing video card drivers from the official openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Zajączkowski Marcin (edved) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: While searching through many pages of information about Linux and OpenSUSE that I found complaining. For the installation of graphics card drivers from the manufacturer. These appear in the repository often result in errors and critical system states. I think that when you install an option I should be asking whether to install the drivers or compile a formal closed. When chosen to be the official drivers are able to download the script itself from the pack, and compile the relevant modules into the kernel. Also, the appropriate settings in the xorg configuration. This is mainly on the users complain that they used Ubuntu. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312334

Feature added by: Christian Spaan (Gyges88) Feature #313286, revision 1 Title: Include option to install Tumbleweed from the installer openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Christian Spaan (gyges88) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Including an option to install Tumbleweed from the installer would enable the user to have a rolling distribution right from the start. This would make things easier especially for unexperienced users as they wouldn't have to know how to setup Tumbleweed nor how to upgrade the distribution manually. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313286

Feature added by: Jörg Stephan (johest) Feature #312964, revision 1 Title: Netinstall from update repo openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Jörg Stephan (johest) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When installing a openSUSE system from an netinstall CD it justs takes all data just out of the OSS repo so it needs an upgrade just after installation. It would be nicer if it would take the data out of the update repo, to have an installed system which is up-to-date. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312964

Feature added by: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Feature #316666, revision 1 Title: UNetbootin support for creating live cd openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: UNetbootin is the most popular and very easy to use application for creating live USB from live CDs. There are some alternate applications for creating live USB, but I never able to create live USB successfully. The biggest plus of UNetbootin over ImageWriter is, you can still use remaining space for other purposes. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316666
