Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #326741, revision 1 Title: zypper: use dialog to display license Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: >From user feedback I got at Akademy. By default zypper displays licenses to confirm in "less". That requires pressing 'q' to exit the pager. That is not intuitive for not so Linux experienced users. So to make this more user friendly, zypper could use "dialog" instead of less if available. An example call could be for example: # dialog --textbox /etc/YaST2/licenses/base/license.txt $((LINES-5)) 85 --and-widget --yesno $"Do you agree with the terms of the license?" 0 0 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/326741

Feature added by: Algimantas B (algyzas) Feature #308445, revision 1 Title: Tor is not working out of box Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Algimantas B (algyzas) Description: Let's say I installed tor, it is came alone, without privoxy. One should download it manually. And then if I try :~> screen torify konqueror hich: no tsocks in (/home/senis/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:.) /usr/bin/torify: Can't find tsocks in PATH. Perhaps you haven't installed it? [screen is terminating] There is a guide http://en.opensuse.org/Privoxy_tor_squid how to setup it, I'll try it, but in some other distributions it works out of box like this. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308445

[New: openFATE 309627] Enhance 'Safely Remove' to spin-down and power-off usb HDDs

Feature added by: Pete Clayson (Olmy) Feature #309627, revision 1 Title: Enhance 'Safely Remove' to spin-down and power-off usb HDDs openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pete Clayson (olmy) Description: 'Safely remove' should (as far as possible) allow for genuine safe removal of all media. Under certain other OSs, the 'safely remove' option on usb devices will... 1/ On usb pen drive with a power/activity led, switch it off (trivial nicety, but reassuring). 2/ On usb HDDs, spin down the disk and power off. This seems more important. There is some discussion about this, for example, http://elliotli.blogspot.com/2009/01/safely-remove-usb-hard-drive-in-linux.… (http://elliotli.blogspot.com/2009/01/safely-remove-usb-hard-drive-in-linux.…) I know that the latest version of Ubuntu does this and there is a script offered in the above link. However, the script, as it stands and run on my installation of OpenSUSE, does not seem to work (in the same way as WinXP or Ubuntu, anyway - my WD600D036 disk does not power off) despite the positive messages in verbose mode. Perhaps this is the CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND option mentioned? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309627

[New: openFATE 323785] generic translation of pattern-category
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #323785, revision 1 Title: generic translation of pattern-category Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: pattern packages have special tags for the category, e.g. pattern-category() = Base%20Technologies Also, translations are contained directly in the package, ie pattern-category(de) = Basistechnologien pattern-category(zh_CN) = %E5%9F%BA%E7%A1%80%E6%8A%80%E6%9C%AF The translations come from a perl script in patterns-rpm-macros: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/patterns-rpm-… Ie not via weblate. Also putting localized strings in package metadata is uncommon on (open)SUSE. So instead of using a custom special method we should use the regular package metadata translation mechanism we also use for summary and description: https://l10n.opensuse.org/projects/packages-i18n/patterns-master/ Furthermore, how about instead of using this extra provides tag, use the rpm group tag, like e.g. Group: patterns/Base Technologies -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/323785
