[New: openFATE 313002] KDE4: widget for battery shows remaining time in popup

Feature added by: Philipp Niehues (cotrinox) Feature #313002, revision 1 Title: KDE4: widget for battery shows remaining time in popup openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Philipp Niehues (cotrinox) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Since KDE 4.3 the battery widget does neither provide the remaining time nor a GUI way to change it. openSUSE follows upstream while other distributions patch this. It is only shown in the popup, after you click on the widget. It is not shown directly and not shown mouse-over. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: There was discussion about it. I think the time is more concrete and therefore useful. There is lots of room, so I don't see the point removing it. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313002

Feature added by: Mikhail Kasimov (k_mikhail) Feature #321935, revision 1 Title: To play Rammstein's samples on installation process :) openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Mikhail Kasimov (k_mikhail) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Operation system installation process is very silent, and sometimes it becomes boring a little bit. Let openSUSE has an option (checkbox) "Sing Rammstein's songs" during the installation process. :) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Just-for-fun. :) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/321935

[New: openFATE 316439] User Management/Parental Controls
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Jun '17

Feature added by: John Moore (Johnfm3) Feature #316439, revision 1 Title: User Management/Parental Controls openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: John Moore (johnfm3) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: As technology becomes more in family lives, the ability to manage is important. As a parent, what is needed is some way to govern computer usage. Parents are not the only ones who could use this. But would be the primary ones who would appreciate it. Currently KChildLock is the only decent which is a KDE App, the newest Opensuse its written for is 12.2. It allows for one to choose between what times a user can log into KDE, an for how long that user can be logged on. KChildLock has one more really cool feature of governing how long a user uses a paticular app while logged on, but that a bit over kill for what I would like request be added to the Yast User module. It would be really convient to add this to the User yast module. With a longterm plan of administration via setting from LDAP. This way its not a 3rd party app, but part of the OpenSuse distrbution default install for those who want to use it. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: If you google/bing search for Parental Control's, you will find some purchasable pieces of software which you can install on Windows systems. What you will also notice is this is a common issue for parents an some system adadministrators of all OS types. Mac users have this built in thier OS by default. An now 1 Ubuntu version is now available. Many have had to come up with creative solutions to achieve this goal including cron jobs an scripts. This feature would make OpenSuse/Novel Suse more of a family friendly OS which would be recommended to those who want a solid OS with parental control available. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316439

Feature added by: Jean Cayron (jeancayron) Feature #307418, revision 1 Title: Parental control module openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jean Cayron (jeancayron) Description: It would be fine to have a GUI in YaST similar with Mandriva's Parental Control "Drakguard". Parental control is something more en more important for safety with computing in family and Linux can't avoid to be distributed into the families. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307418

Feature added by: Roman Bysh (Romanator) Feature #308878, revision 1 Title: Add KDE Info Center to System Settings openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Roman Bysh (romanator) Description: I propose adding the KDE Info Center to System Settings or even Sysinfo. It provides more information than sysinfo provides at this time. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308878

[New: openFATE 311661] provide a LiveCD/USB image to crowd-source a HCL
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Feature added by: Bernhard Wiedemann (bmwiedemann) Feature #311661, revision 1 Title: provide a LiveCD/USB image to crowd-source a HCL openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Bernhard Wiedemann (bmwiedemann) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: SUSE manually maintained a Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) but this has disadvantages: - it covers a limited range of hardware - parts of it can be outdated or inaccurate - it is a lot of effort to maintain On the other hand, people want an easy way to know if their hardware works with the current or next release of openSUSE. This is why a Live image is proposed that can easily be put to CD or USB-mass-storage and has an easy way (e.g. icon on desktop) to test access to different types of hardware: - graphics - sound - network - input ... This software could then upload the test results to a public online database in anonymous form. This DB could be the smolt DB or something similar in spirit. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311661

Feature added by: Vicenç Juan Tomàs Monserrat (vtomasr5) Feature #306762, revision 1 Title: Implemens tool like apt-listbugs of Debian openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Vicenç Juan Tomàs Monserrat (vtomasr5) Description: For system administrators to know the open bugs in the packages is very important to know whether to install or not. Would be a good feature! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306762

[New: openFATE 314447] Make Yakuake a part of the KDE standard desktop set
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Feature added by: Michael Skiba (Mirrakor) Feature #314447, revision 1 Title: Make Yakuake a part of the KDE standard desktop set openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Michael Skiba (mirrakor) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: For those of you who don't know Yakuake: It's a KDE Terminal Emulator (like konsole or xterm). It's normally hidden and rolls down the screen when you press a certain hotkey (usually F12) and provides a multitabbing, skinnable terminal interface. Website: http://yakuake.kde.org/ Such a built in, but easy to hide, terminal emulator is certainly handy for the power user but it might also be useful to be able to tell novices to simply press F12 to open up a console. On the con side of course is the fact that it uses resources (not much, but still) that the user might need somewhere else. I think it might be an interesting idea and would like to use this platform to discuss it and see if there's enough people that are interested as well. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314447

[New: openFATE 309389] add /usr/local to KDEDIRS
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Feature added by: Stefan Majewsky (majewsky) Feature #309389, revision 1 Title: add /usr/local to KDEDIRS openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stefan Majewsky (majewsky) Description: By default, CMake-powered KDE apps are installed to /usr/local, but KDE won't pickup data files and configs from this directory tree because the KDEDIRS environment variable does not include /usr/local. This problem can currently be circumvented by setting the installation prefix to /usr (which is asking for trouble because of possible clashes with RPM) or by adding /usr/local to KDEDIRS manually, which is error-prone (esp. for new users). Therefore, I propose that /usr/local be included in the KDEDIRS environment variable by default (with a lower precedence than /usr, of course). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309389

[New: openFATE 311029] Add Link to Documentation Site

Feature added by: Thomas Schraitle (thomas-schraitle) Feature #311029, revision 1 Title: Add Link to Documentation Site openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Thomas Schraitle (thomas-schraitle) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The official documentation seems to be not very known in the openSUSE world. To make it more visible, I would suggest the following improvements: * Add a link http://docs.opensuse.org (http://docs.opensuse.org) to the welcome screen (SUSEgreeter?) of a fresh installation * Include http://docs.opensuse.org (http://docs.opensuse.org) to the list of pre-installed bookmarks in Firefox, Konqueror, ... * Maybe add an icon on the desktop which refers to the above link. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To make the official documentation more visible and easier to find. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311029
