[opensuse-gnome] LiveCD enhancements
Hello followers :-) I apparently had a bug report[1] assigned to me which talks about enhancements for our LiveCD. Now, this will be to late for 11.1, but lets discuss it for 11.2. This is what's been suggested (my comments after each point); 1.- Remove Cheese and Add Xsane is more necessary the software to use the scanner it is indispensable for all office or home people want to use the scan immediately captain_magnus> I honestly think more people wants to have some fun with their web cameras than scanning documents, so I think we should keep Cheese 2.-Include tsclient or gnome-rdp this is very important for make a remote from other machine with VNC or RDP very very important have this software captain_magnus> This is possible already on the LiveCD thanks to NOMAD? 3.-Gimp This software is indispensable have this in the live cd and the installation for the users plz add this one to live cd captain_magnus> Personally, I can't even create a filled rectangle in GIMP and so, I'd suggest to see if we can fit sk1 on the LiveCD instead. 4.-Yast2 Add one function for save all files RPM are download from the repositories to make a cd with all updates and other software are installed to get all RPM and install then in other computers don't have internet or don't have a good connection this is very very very very important captain_magnus> This is (sort of) already on the LiveCD for 11.1, thanks to the new "service pack" creator. 5.-More performance for can run in computer with low procesor and low memory captain_magnus> Would be nice :-) Cheers, Magnus [1]: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=406603 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

1.- Remove Cheese and Add Xsane is more necessary the software to use the scanner it is indispensable for all office or home people want to use the scan immediately
captain_magnus> I honestly think more people wants to have some fun with their web cameras than scanning documents, so I think we should keep Cheese
+1. More people are looking to use webcams than scanners. There's fewer uses of scanners than in the past. Although this isn't to say it's obsolete, but its becoming a specific need. I've gotten rid of most of my scanners (and I used to buy a new one every few months!) There's also an a11y angle to using Cheese. Deaf users are heavily dependent on the use of webcams in various forms and are serious vloggers. Cheese makes openSUSE appealing in that way.
2.-Include tsclient or gnome-rdp this is very important for make a remote from other machine with VNC or RDP very very important have this software
captain_magnus> This is possible already on the LiveCD thanks to NOMAD?
3.-Gimp This software is indispensable have this in the live cd and the installation for the users plz add this one to live cd
captain_magnus> Personally, I can't even create a filled rectangle in GIMP and so, I'd suggest to see if we can fit sk1 on the LiveCD instead.
Go to a training class. :-)
4.-Yast2 Add one function for save all files RPM are download from the repositories to make a cd with all updates and other software are installed to get all RPM and install then in other computers don't have internet or don't have a good connection this is very very very very important
captain_magnus> This is (sort of) already on the LiveCD for 11.1, thanks to the new "service pack" creator.
5.-More performance for can run in computer with low procesor and low memory captain_magnus> Would be nice :-)
Cheers, Magnus

Not sure, but adding tsclient might be nice.
3.-Gimp This software is indispensable have this in the live cd and the installation for the users plz add this one to live cd
captain_magnus> Personally, I can't even create a filled rectangle in GIMP and so, I'd suggest to see if we can fit sk1 on the LiveCD instead.
We removed it to save space, if we have the space I'm ok for adding it back as long as we look at other possibilities like beagle-index as well.
4.-Yast2 Add one function for save all files RPM are download from the repositories to make a cd with all updates and other software are installed to get all RPM and install then in other computers don't have internet or don't have a good connection this is very very very very important

This should be handled by SuSE Studio going forward I think.
5.-More performance for can run in computer with low procesor and low memory captain_magnus> Would be nice :-)
Yes, we need to cut memory usage in this CD. -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr@novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

Can we have a 'public' vote about inclusion/exclusion when it comes to beagle? In my opinion, it's still hogging the CPU to the effect that I always uninstall it.

Fair enough, but I still maintain that the SP utility that comes with PK can handle it :-)
5.-More performance for can run in computer with low procesor and low memory captain_magnus> Would be nice :-)
Yes, we need to cut memory usage in this CD.
Again, +1... Perhaps we can organize some sort of a "hack day" thing to see what ideas people have? Cheers, Magnus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

First thing to do, even before a hack day, is to look at how the memory is used, even if it's some rough measurements with top that we know is wrong. Look at the number of processes. Are they all useful? etc. So yeah, some basic documentation about what's going on. And then we'll be able to start thinking about solutions.
