Feature added by: Simone Dedo (Templare) Feature #313030, revision 1 Title: AppSet instead of Apper openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Simone Dedo (templare) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: AppSet http://appset.altervista.org/joomla/en can be the default package manager on openSUSE cause, is written in QT and other distribution such Archlinux and Chakra Linux (know for his addiction with KDE desktop). 1)Automatical generation of applications sections (games, office, multimedia, internet etc.) 2)An embedded web browser that shows selected applications homepages 3)An embedded feed reader that shows news from configured distribution 4)A Tray Icon that periodically shows available upgrades 5)The possibility to choose a touchscreen suitable and animated view 6)Administrator packages management (Upgrades, installs, removes applications) 7)Periodical packages database update 8)Checks dependencies contraints 9)Authentication structure that uses what is already installed to get administrative privileges (only when needed), searching from {kdesu, gksu, beesu, xdg-su or at least an xterm where it executes a sudo command} 10)Cache cleaner tool (to free disk space) 11)Can use ad-hoc libraries for a specific distribution or, like in default, it uses an already existing package manager CLI frontend 11)Requires only Qt libs as installation dependency What about? Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I believe AppSet can be a better package manager instead of KpackageKit or Apper (a new on openSUSE 12.1). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313030

Feature added by: Harri T. (haba713) Feature #314661, revision 1 Title: tcptunnel openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Harri T. (haba713) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hi! I suggest adding tcptunnel package to openSUSE distribution. As stated on a page http://www.vakuumverpackt.de/tcptunnel/ "Tcptunnel is a simple TCP port forwarder. This tool listens to a local TCP port and all the received data is sent to a remote host. It can be used to redirect TCP based protocols like HTTP, IRC, NNTP, SSH or SMTP." The source code is here: https://github.com/vakuum/tcptunnel It's a great piece of code! I've used it now for a couple of months in SLES 11 SP2 for SSH and MS Remote Desktop tunnels with no anomalities. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314661

[New: openFATE 322401] revert GTK3 upstream's HiDPI usability regression (undersized Firefox UI fonts)
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Felix Miata (mrmazda) Feature #322401, revision 1 Title: revert GTK3 upstream's HiDPI usability regression (undersized Firefox UI fonts) openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Felix Miata (mrmazda) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Short story: post-GTK3 version 3.16, GTK3 builds of various applications, such as Firefox and SeaMonkey (both built with default build settings from ~rv46 and up), when used on Plasma 5, KDE3, TDE, and possibly other DEs, using displays for which >96 DPI is appropriate, do not utilize the font sizes specified by the DE settings unless Xft.dpi, otherwise unnecessary, is explicitly set in the environment. An upstream patch has been submitted that would revert this unnecessary usability regression. Upstream reports that provide more information: UI text sizes no longer inherited from Linux system status: wontfix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269274 bad UI fonts in apps built with GTK3 toolkit used with GTK3 libs >3.16 status: official bug report not yet filed http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::15168 usability regression: GTK+>3.16.x results in too small GTK3 app UI fonts when logical DPI>96 status: open https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367499 Generate Xft.dpi from server dimensions at startup if not specified via configfile status: open https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98909 [REGRESSION][BISECTED] Recent change breaks HiDPI setup based on calculated or forced DPI status: wontfix https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757142 757142 contains a patch that could revert the regression. As of now, the regression does not affect 42.1, but does affect all newer versions of openSUSE. In 42.2 at least, the GTK3 3.16 packages from 42.1 can be used as a workaround. I've not tried to install them in Tumbleweed. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Fonts smaller in Firefox UI than in other apps' UIs are simply not acceptable both for usability and aesthetic reasons. Finding and setting an appropriate Xft.dpi to conform Firefox UI fonts is an onerous complication that shouldn't be necessary, especially for users with multiple displays or who routinely switch among displays of diverse densities. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/322401

Feature added by: pier andre (pier_andreit) Feature #313000, revision 1 Title: select the graphic driver at boot openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: pier andre (pier_andreit) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: To have the possibility to select the graphic driver at boot in my opinion is a good idea, if you have nvidia or ati graphic cards, and you want to try the new propietary driver and it doesn't satisfy you, or if you want to try the new nouveau driver, if you have the possibility to select the driver (for example nouveau, nvidia, ati or whatever), you can have easyly a working graphic desktop. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313000

[New: openFATE 308467] Proprietary install driver HELP guide

22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Feature #308467, revision 1 Title: Proprietary install driver HELP guide openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Description: A constant criticism of openSUSE is the lack of an easy continuous installation of proprietary graphic drivers. Is it not possible to post specific (and very obvious) help links to community wiki that provides guidance as to how the proprietary graphic drivers can be installed (as opposed to just a general statement) ? i.e. a link for community help page for ATI proprietary graphic drivers and a similar one for nVidia proprietary graphic drivers. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308467

Feature added by: Marcelo Junior (marceloatie) Feature #320916, revision 1 Title: Include Cinnamon as option during installation. openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Marcelo Junior (marceloatie) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Cinnamon seems to be stable enough to be included as option during installation. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I'm a member of a Linux user group in Brazil, and I've seen a lot of people enjoin this desktop environment. Will be very helpful to new users to install openSUSE Cinnamon during default system installation. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/320916

[New: openFATE 314592] Include Razor-qt Desktop to the Install options

Feature added by: Carl Fletcher (caf4926) Feature #314592, revision 1 Title: Include Razor-qt Desktop to the Install options openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Carl Fletcher (caf4926) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: razor-qt provides a kde3 like experience. It is low on resources, has a familiar and friendly feel in use. It would be nice to see this along side the 'other' desktop options. Or at the very least, as a Pattern with a Meta package in Software Manager. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It is low on resources, has a familiar and friendly feel in use. It will fill a large kde3 hungry user base -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314592

[New: openFATE 316842] grub2 configuration in Yast2
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Jun '17

Feature added by: Ulf Michel (ulfmichel) Feature #316842, revision 1 Title: grub2 configuration in Yast2 openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ulf Michel (ulfmichel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: grub2 can in principle be configured to remember the last selected operating system, but this is no option in Yast2. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I am convinced that this is the configuration most users would prefer. After every new installation I have to do this by hand editing /etc/default/grub with changing GRUB_DEFAULT=saved and adding GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true and then updating grub by grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316842
