Feature added by: Richard Bos (rbos) Feature #313272, revision 1 Title: zypper: Display vendor when newer package is offered by different vendor openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Richard Bos (rbos) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: >From the output below it is not clear which other vendor offers the newer package version: # zypper in curl Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... 'curl' is already installed. There is an update candidate for 'curl', but it is from different vendor. Use 'zypper install curl-7.23.1-72.1.x86_64' to install this candidate. Resolving package dependencies... Nothing to do. It is useful to know which other vendor(s) offers the newer package to dertermine if the package should be used. 2) Is it possible to devide the string over 2 lines, it is now 1 long line, like this: There is an update candidate for 'curl', but it is from different vendor. Use 'zypper install curl-7.23.1-72.1.x86_64' to install this candidate. With 2 lines it becomes: There is an update candidate for 'curl', but it is from different vendor. Use 'zypper install curl-7.23.1-72.1.x86_64' to install this candidate. Use Case: zypper up shows: zyp up Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... The following package updates will NOT be installed: ..extreme-tuxracer...<many other packages> Nothing to do. Select extreme-tuxracer to investigate why they are not installed: # zyp in extreme-tuxracer Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... 'extreme-tuxracer' is already installed. There is an update candidate for 'extreme-tuxracer', but it is from different vendor. Use 'zypper install extreme-tuxracer-0.4-118.1.x86_64' to install this candidate. Resolving package dependencies... Nothing to do. One details is missing the name of the vendor. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Give the user the necessary information to be able to judge if he / she wants this newer package version from the other vendor or not. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313272

[New: openFATE 308685] Gnome Slab's More Applications not open another Window

Feature added by: Drew Kwashnak (dragonbite) Feature #308685, revision 1 Title: Gnome Slab's More Applications not open another Window Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Drew Kwashnak (dragonbite) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In the Gnome Slab, if the Application has not been pinned to the Favorites you are forced to click "More Applications" and it opens up a Window. Maybe this could open a window like Windows XP does? Or can slide to the side like KDE 4 does? Something should be in place by default. Is there something called "Lancelot" which would apply here, or is just KDE? Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The opened window may get lost in Windows, can be easily pushed behind something else or a pushy application that finally loads may pop-up over it and otherwise be annoying. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308685

[openFATE 308813] Gnome slab menu bookmarks editable

Feature changed by: Karl Cheng (qantas94heavy) Feature #308813, revision 4 Title: Gnome slab menu bookmarks editable - openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed + openSUSE Distribution: Rejected by Karl Cheng (qantas94heavy) + reject reason: Slab is no longer included with openSUSE. Priority Requester: Desirable - Package Wishlist: Rejected by Vincent Untz (vuntz) - reject reason: Not a package wishlist. - Priority - Requester: Desirable Requested by: Drew Kwashnak (dragonbite) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently the Gnome slab menu applications are not editable. There is no option to add the application launcher to the desktop or the panel, nor to open the properties for adjusting how it is launched. Use Case: Cheese sometimes does not work unless the command used is env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so cheese In other situations I would make an application launcher and change the launch command from just "cheese" to shis whole line so it would work. This command was also recommended for Skype. *please note, this webcam is listed on the UVC Webcam list as supported and in Ubuntu and Fedora it has been detected and work with Cheese without any manual modifications. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To bring the flexibility Gnome is capable of, to the Slab menu. This will help others to see the benefits of it and to consider using it in their own distribution. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308813

[New: openFATE 312871] Auto-lock with password when screen saver kicks in.
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 11 Feb '17

11 Feb '17

Feature added by: Per Jessen (pjessen) Feature #312871, revision 1 Title: Auto-lock with password when screen saver kicks in. openSUSE 12.1: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Per Jessen (pjessen) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: * Enable automatic screen-lock with password required. E.g. after 5mins and 10seconds respectively. * add a default "lock" button to the GUI taskbar Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To increase security. We have many and varied security-related features and policies. Requiring a password when the screen auto-locks is just common sense. An easily accessible lock button makes it more likely that a user will use it when he leaves his desk. These both ought to be the default setup. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312871

Such as Windows XP. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312873
