Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important openSUSE-11.0: Rejected by Dirk Mueller reject date: 2008-04-11 16:44:11 reject reason: out of time due to KDE4 switch Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important openSUSE-11.1: Rejected by JP Rosevear reject date: 2008-07-16 15:48:12 reject reason: The common encrypted partition cases are handled already and there is a lack of time before feature freeze. Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stephan Kulow (coolo) Interested: JP Rosevear (jproseve) + Interested: Maxi Schimmel (maxxs) Interested: Stefan Behlert (sbehlert) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: KDE's mediamanager currently only supports volumes from HAL, which excludes encrypted partitions only listed in fstab. This needs integrated support including new strings to indicate it's encrypted. Discussion: #1: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2007-11-16 11:40:04) encrypted partitions become more and more popular, so we should get forward here. We support encryption for removable media now thanks to Daniel's work, but partitions are still out from media:/ #2: Dirk Mueller (dirkmueller) (2008-03-25 11:28:48) there is a improved solution for KDE3 thanks to Tom Patzig. This needs forward port to KDE4 however for 11.0, which will be a non-trivial amount of work. I would say it is 2-3 weeks to get it done properly, including learning solid. #3: Dirk Mueller (dirkmueller) (2008-04-11 16:43:37) the time is not available, beta1 is imminent and there are too many other things to fix. #4: Guy Lunardi (glunardi) (2008-06-03 22:34:50) (reply to #3) Should this be re-prioritize for openSUSE 11.1? Sounds like an important feature. #7: Dirk Mueller (dirkmueller) (2008-06-13 15:06:01) (reply to #4) I'm not sure.. the typical use case of encrypted non-hotpluggable media is to have an encrypted home partition, and you have to mount that on boot, otherwise you can't login. I don't know what the use case or the customer value for this feature is. #9: Daniel Gollub (dgollub) (2008-06-13 15:42:54) (reply to #7) This is already implemented: # cryptconfig make-ehd luks image per user in /home/ + pam_mount #10: Dirk Mueller (dirkmueller) (2008-06-13 15:58:52) (reply to #9) yep, I guess this feature is however about other custom mounts, that shouldn't be mounted via pam_mount (??) #5: JP Rosevear (jproseve) (2008-06-13 08:18:02) Dirk, whats the upstream status of this now? #6: Dirk Mueller (dirkmueller) (2008-06-13 15:01:56) KDE4 (upstream and openSUSE) supports encryted hotpluggable media (usb sticks etc) just fine, but this particular feature, the manually to /etc/fstab added feature is not there afaik. #8: Dirk Mueller (dirkmueller) (2008-06-13 15:09:54) (reply to #6) I'll have to check if my understanding is correct, hence still needinfo #11: Dirk Mueller (dirkmueller) (2008-06-23 10:44:56) (reply to #8) support for fstab-only is not upstream #12: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2008-07-07 13:03:21) (reply to #11) OK, so let's evaluate what needs to be done for this - and whether we should move it to 11.2. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=301207
