Feature added by: Ilya Chernykh (Ansus) Feature #308424, revision 1 Title: Please port Light style revision 2 theme to KDE4 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ilya Chernykh (ansus) Description: Please port Light style revision 2 theme from KDE3 to KDE4. This is the best-looking widget theme ever in my opinion. This makes transition to KDE4 much easier and allows for better coexistence of KDE3 and KDE4 applications. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308424

[New: openFATE 310987] Add Intel Atom as a specific architecture
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

Feature added by: Jiri Dluhos (jdluhos) Feature #310987, revision 1 Title: Add Intel Atom as a specific architecture openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jiri Dluhos (jdluhos) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Atom processors, currently very popular in lightweight devices, behave very differently from common Intel/AMD processors; although they can execute code optimized for common x86 or x86-64, they don't run it much efficiently. Because they are not that fast, every cycle counts. I believe it would be useful to consider them a separate sub-architecture that deserves its own set of compilation options. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310987

[New: openFATE 311322] Add button to change color depth on Display Monitor
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Roman Bysh (Romanator) Feature #311322, revision 1 Title: Add button to change color depth on Display Monitor openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Roman Bysh (romanator) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I'm proposing that we add an extra button to the Display and Monitor settings to change the color depth. Since sax2 was deprecated. We have been missing a way to dynamically change the color depth. Sax2 used to have a button to allow users to change the color depth. For example: * 8-bit * 15-bit * 16-bit * 24-bit * 32-bit Let's vote to add this feature to the Display and Monitor in KDE. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311322

[New: openFATE 311365] Include biosdevname to rename network interfaces based on chassis labels
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Narendra K - (narendra_k) Feature #311365, revision 1 Title: Include biosdevname to rename network interfaces based on chassis labels openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Narendra K - (narendra_k) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: On a Dell PowerEdge server with multiple add-in cards, the naming of the network interfaces is non-deterministic. This results in 'eth0' not mapping to "Embedded NIC 1" as labeled on the server chassis. This issue is seen on Dell PowerEdge 10G above. This feature addresses this issue by renaming network interfaces based on their location on the system motherboard. The naming policy it suggests are as follows: Embedded devices: em<port> Add-in PCI cards: pci<slot>p<port>_<virtual function instance> Please refer to "Consistent Network device naming-Name network interfaces to match chassis labels" (https://features.opensuse.org/310896). Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This allows system administrators to refer to the network interfaces by names based on their location on the motherboard. The naming becomes deterministic and there is no state such as HWADDR embedded into the configuration files. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311365

[New: openFATE 310560] Future Download Options for 11.4<
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Jeremy Thornton (leebrad) Feature #310560, revision 1 Title: Future Download Options for 11.4< Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jeremy Thornton (leebrad) Description: I am sure this may have been proposed before, but just in case I think it is a good move if the SUSE project would consider the following... #Proposal Break 11.4+ distributions into the following downloadable images from the opensuse.org site... I know 1,2,5 are already options, but the others should also be considered. 1. Gnome Desktop Live CD (<700mb) 2. KDE Desktop Live CD (<700mb) 3. LXDE Desktop Live CD (<700mb) 4. Server and Virtualization CD (<700mb) 5. Complete DVD (4gb) 6. Meego/Netbook Live Image (for future netbook installs) Important:Options to install inside as Windows applications (like Ubuntu) Important:Options to install onto USB drive (with GUI application like Ubuntu/Fedora) #Benefits 1.More accessible download options 2.Less frustrating if download fails 3.Less bandwidth requirements to support the project 4.More flexibile installation capabilities 5.These can be built easier and maintained with the project since the intro of SUSE Studio. #Additional Considerations 1.Besides possible acquisition of the SUSE project by some company the community must remain innovative and competitive against Fedora and Ubuntu. 2.Ubuntu and Fedora already offer these download and convenience options. 3.I have read comments from users who either don't realize a server option is built in or hate the idea of download the DVD just for a light server install. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310560

[openFate 305664] Server CD
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Martin Schlander (cb400f) Feature #305664, revision 1, last change by Title: Server CD openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Martin Schlander (cb400f) Description: Providing an official openSUSE server cd - with some often used server software - and perhaps a lightweight window manager like icewm or similar - would be a great thing for a number of reasons. - openSUSE is generally considered a desktop centric distribution, providing a server cd would do a heck of a lot to highligt the excellent (home-)server qualities of openSUSE. - The few people that realize that the openSUSE DVD/netinstall actually offers text mode/server installation, are often discouraged by needing to download a full DVD, or do troublesome and slow http/ftp installation. - Server users are generally more technical people, it would be beneficial to attract more of these to the openSUSE project. - More people using openSUSE on home servers would likely have spill-over effects on SLES sales. - An openSUSE server cd, would be an excellent response to Ubuntu server edition and Microsoft Home Server. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305664

[New: openFATE 314589] Bandwidth limiter for updates
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

25 May '17

Feature added by: Francesco Noacco (FireLink) Feature #314589, revision 1 Title: Bandwidth limiter for updates openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Francesco Noacco (firelink) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Settings similar to a download manager with max number of simultaneous files, bandwidth etc. (for example type DownThemAll). Use Case: If there is low bandwidth and / or to share with other people. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Is a good idea to make the system more "educated" than a bully use of the full bandwidth connection (especially if limited or poor). - Much more useful would be a program that saves the packages separately in an orderly way and divided into categories (similar to apup for win). This is perhaps best if I insert it in another form? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314589

[New: openFATE 312120] Make default KDE theme greenish, to match whole system
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 25 May '17

Feature added by: Dino E (D_E) Feature #312120, revision 1 Title: Make default KDE theme greenish, to match whole system openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Dino E (d_e) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We really need to make default KDE theme green, to match whole system greenish appearance. It's involves just to steps: make default green icon set (like http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Oxygen-Refit+2+-+Green+Version?conte…) and make default green colours (like http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Ordinary+Green?content=107944) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It's kinda ugly when you have blue icons and colours in otherwise green system. Also blue is highly overused nowadays - remember default themes in windows xp-7, mac os x, and kde itself. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312120
