[opensuse] Project management software question for project managers
by Ted Byers 29 May '24

29 May '24

I am looking for project management software I can install on my Suse box. Alas, there are quite a number of prducts that claim to be suitable project management products, but I am hoping to obtain a little help separating the wheat from the chaffe. Basically, when I open the project management software, I want to be able to choose from among a number of projects that are under way, and then see the relation between a client's wish list and the functional requirements specs, and then how these specs relate to the UML diagrams that have been created, and from there, what tasks have been defined for each requirement and the identity of all persons involved, the developers and their managers, and the person who designed the code that supports the requirement. And with that, I want to be able to see the project's timeline, the related bugs, &c. I would even want to be able to open the source code files and examine the code that was actually written. Here is my wish list: 1) a web application that stores data in either PostgreSQL or MySQL. 2) easy integration with UML tool (or has it's own UML tool that supports round trip engineering) 3) resource management (e.g. computers, and development tools, that can be used, personelle assigned to each task) 4) documentation of relation between functional requirements specs to specific tasks and specific unit and integration tests. 5) time/effort tracking 6) bug tracking, including data relating the existance of the bug, and effort required to fix it, to the person who wrote the original code, the person who supervised him or her, and the person who designed the 'feature' in question, the time taken to complete the original task, and the technologies used (to imprrove accountability as well as to determine retraining and continuing education needs (people aren't disposable, so instead of taking a harsh aproach to problems identified, I prefer to use education as a corrective, but I can't design corrective instruction without knowing precisely what the need is). I also need to know if a developer has a higher than normal bug rate simply because he doesn't take enough time to ensure the job is done right, or because I haven't adequately trained him, or because of a poor choice of tools, or somethng else that may be my fault. 7) use of task effort tracking history to generate provisional effort/cost estimates from new project's functional requirements 8) easy integration with open source ERP products like OFBiz (which may make trakcing resources and manpower easier, as well as connect real production data to the enterprise's accounting systems) 9) easy integration with CMS products, like Wordpress (especally for production documentation, includng degin documentation and user guides and reference manuals) 10) easy integration with verion control systems such as subversion. If there is a decent product that supports all of this, great (and language used to implement it doesn't matter), but if I have to write code to add missing requirements, then I am limited to those implemented using Perl or Java (and running on Tomcat). I don't know PHP well enough, and I don't know Ruby at all; and I really don't want to think about implementing this sort of thing in C++ (though I could if absolutely necessary). If you have project management experience, and use tools that are available for Suse Linux, what software product(s) did you use, and with what result? While I await relies, I will continue to review web documentation for those products I have found so far, to see if any of them are a) suitable for use in production and b) to see to what extent they support the features I am after. I have seen a number of products so far in my search, that deserve to be nameless, because they provide no way to relate cost estimates to one's team's track record, or to the details of the design, and seem satisfied with production of a pretty gantt chart (which is why I have formed the view that there is a whole lots of chaffe in the set of applications that call themselves project menement software - I have yet to find anything that really has the potential of being labelled wheat).

Sorry SuSE: 9.1 is Waste of time and money!
by Terje J. Hanssen 17 May '24

17 May '24

I am sorry to conclude that my upgrade from SuSE 9.0 Pro to 9.1 Pro has been waste of time and money for me, so far. The same I have to say about the free SuSE "Installation support". The reason is that my SuSE 9.1 installation only detects 1 of my 3 SCSCI devices (as I wrote in another subject on this forum: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-May/3254.html) Yamaha 4416S CDRW recorder detected HP DVD Writer 100i NOT detected Epson 1640SU scanner NOT detected It's rather stupid. I have installed 9.1 using the DVD disk just in the HP DVD drive, but after the installation of 9.1, the KDE/Konqueror /media/recorder cannot access it and YaST2 cannot install additional software from it. Only one "Cdrecorder" is found in My computer and that is the Yamaha 4416 drive, which the KDE/Konqueror file manager assign as /media/recorder11. I am sure 9.1 is the reason, as I hadn't this problems with 9.0. I have tried both an update and two several new installation of 9.1. Neither SJDS nor Windows on the same multiboot PC have problems to detect these devices. In my opinion SuSE should therefore debug 9.1 better and longer, and not leave the problems to the customers. I see SuSE notes on their web saying that they know SCSI scanners are not detected in 9.1. But regarding my HP DVD writer problem, the SuSE support (as usual) don't take the responsibility and argue that this problem (a combination of IDE disk and SCSI devices) isn't included in their free installation support! This sounds remarkable, and I have never had a modern PC of so simple model or configuration that it has fitted the limited rules for the free installation support. Terje J. Hanssen

[opensuse] IPv6 Rogue Router Security Issue
by Lew Wolfgang 30 Dec '17

30 Dec '17

Hi Folks, There seems to be a flurry of IPv6 talk going on, maybe this is time for me to bring up the rogue router problem again? I asked about this a couple of times over the years but could never find anyone to comment on it. First, here's the RFC that describes the problem: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6104 Rogue routers have affected me personally at a customer's site. This is a large, professionally managed, dual-stacked network with a number of v4 class B addresses and thousands of hosts. Subnets seem to be /20 CIDR in size, so there are plenty of "neighbors" on any given subnet. I've encountered the situation where misconfigured Windows systems will advertise themselves as an IPv6 router. They then happily accept traffic and drop it all silently on the floor. This problem doesn't seem to bother other Windows boxes too much, but it absolutely kills SSH connections. SSH preferentially tries IPv6 port 22, which when sent to a dumb Windows box results in very long hangups and connection failures. My workaround for my cohort of Linux desktops and servers was to disable IPv6 for both ssh and sshd. This will work for as long as the host network supports dual stacks, but eventually? Then there's the issue of intentional MITM attacks using this vector. If a bad actor has physical access to a subnet, or has compromised a host on that subnet, your goose is cooked. This link mentions some mitigations, but they're quite technical and may require hardware support. https://community.infoblox.com/t5/IPv6-Center-of-Excellence/Holding-IPv6-Ne… So, what is the threat to a home IPv6 user who has WiFi and an Internet of Things with minimal/non-existent security? I personally feel safer behind a nice natted IPv4 firewall with ACL rules between my copper and WiFi subnets. I just feel that I have more control of the situation with a simpler network. Has SUSE addressed this issue? Tell me I don't have to worry about it!

[opensuse] Again, trying to find a suitable video editor.
by Carlos E. R. 02 Dec '17

02 Dec '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I simply can't find a suitable video editor that works. My goal is to extract the interesting parts of a TV recording. Ie, mark the start of the movie, the end, the commercials inside, and dump all that into a single file, perhaps recoding. One limitation is that movies here have two sound tracks, one in Spanish, and the other one in the original language, typically English. I want to keep both, obviously. I don't need any transition or effect, just a simple editor that allows me to remove unwanted sections. I have tried: pitivi - crashes on start LiVES - works for an hour at 100% CPU and can't load the file. dvbcut - says my mpeg file is not a video (and it certainly is!) tragtor - can convert, but not edit. openshot - almost. My video has two sound tracks, and this tool ignores the second track. cinelerra-cv - I can't make head or tails of it. I tell it to load a video file, it does, but then I don't see how to do anything. It doesn't even display the video. I may have to read the manual, but I dislike having to read a manual for a GUI. Still... kdenlive - Well... crashes too often. I can mark the cuts, but it does not display what I'm cutting. And only one sound track. HandBrake - no edit. Avidemux - one sound track only. Kino - abandonware. Lightworks ?? Shotcut - Segmentation fault on start. cer@Telcontar:~/Videos/Fusion/trabajo> shotcut QSqlDatabase: QSQLITE driver not loaded QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QSqlQuery::exec: database not open QSqlQuery::exec: database not open Database::Database(QObject*) Failed to get version. QSqlQuery::exec: database not open bool Database::upgradeVersion1() Failed to create thumbnails table. Database version is 0 Segmentation fault cer@Telcontar:~/Videos/Fusion/trabajo> Flowblade ?? I don't understand the tool. May need some reading. At least it runs. I would like something that would produce a command line to ffmpeg in a GUI. Then I could modify further the options. This would be ideal. tragtor works this way, but has no editor. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Digikam, etc. cannot upload from iPhone 6S
by Dennis Gallien 21 May '17

21 May '17

Not sure if this is a KDE or Solid (or other) issue . . . sorry for message length but trying to include all relevant data I know of . . . Digikam has worked great importing/deleting photos from iPhone 6S for a year, working on 13.2. I recently upgraded 13.2 => 42.1 => 42.2 about a month ago. I can't honestly say whether this problem arose with the Leap upgrade, or with an update since. When Digikam opens it displays the following error message: The specified camera ("/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/ pci0000:00/0000:00:12.2/usb1/1-1/1-1:4.2/net/eth2") is not supported. ~>lsusb shows the camera as: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05ac:12a8 Apple, Inc. Switching to a different port , , , ~>lsusb Bus 004 Device 003: ID 05ac:12a8 Apple, Inc. Digikam then throws this error when started: The specified camera ("/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/ pci0000:00/0000:00:13.2/usb4/4-2/4-2:4.2/net/eth1") is not supported. Yet still Digikam (and other photo apps) autodetects the phone. It is shown under the Import menu, and when Import for the phone is selected the second Digikam windows opens. At bottom it shows the correct camera media capacity and amount used, while under the Device menu it shows the phone is recognized on the correct usb port. It shows that upload and delete are supported functions. But it cannot see the photo files. (It is seen as an "iPhone5 (PTP mode)"; gphoto2 --list-cameras does not show iPhone6 but that was not a problem before; the udev hwdb shows the same phone ID for both iPhone5 and iPhone6. Tested this with my wife's iPhone 5 and the errors were the same.) gphoto2: --list-ports sees the correct port --list-folders sees the "store_feedface" folder but no files. --abilities shows iPhone 5 with USB support, file preview and upload = yes When I try kio camera:/ in Dolphin I get: camera:/Apple%2520iPhone%25205%2520(PTP%2520mode)@usb:001,002/ An "Apple iPhone 5 (PTP Model)" folder appears with the sub-folder "store_feedface" but no DCIM folder nor any photos. When I try gtkam it can see the iPhone "store-feedface" but not DCIM, no files. Experimenting with this app I once got this error, too: An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not claim the USB device'): Could not claim interface 0 (Device or resource busy). Make sure no other program (gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor) or kernel module (such as sdc2xx, stv680, spca50x) is using the device and you have read/write access to the device. Similarly, when I tried Shotwell it threw: Unable to fetch previews from the camera: Could not claim the USB device (-53) But strangely, darktable uploads (and deletes) the iPhone files even though it uses libgphoto2.so.6 just as all the other apps do. Still works fine with my Canon A570. Digikam Version 5.4.0 Using: KDE Frameworks 5.26.0 Qt 5.6.1 (built against 5.6.1) My suspicion is that the problem is connect to the error "could not claim USB device", as I've seen that several times. Just a wild-ass guess. I checked Bugzilla KDE and Solid, found multiple instances of PTP cameras being recognized but files not retrievable over the last ~5 years. But nothing recent. I did find a 2011 bug report on Ubuntu Launchpad which was reported again in Dec claiming a regression in Digikam, but it wasn't verified. (And that was Digikam4, not 5). Any suggestions where to look further? Again, apologies for length. TIA, Dennis P.S. KDE folks might want to note that the Device Notifier entry always displays the camera twice rather than just once when it's attached, and when the "Open with File Manager" option is chosen, the app errors on not finding the KDE4 version of Dolphin: KDEInit could not launch 'dolphin4': Could not open library 'libkdeinit5_dolphin4'.

[opensuse] HP printer Leap 42.2

01 Mar '17

My HP D2300 usb printer has worked for many years. It is attached to one of my two pcs and shared between the two. This worked fine up to 13.2 but I cannot get 42.2 to share the printer. Sharing fails in Yast whereas it worked up to 13.2, when I try to sahre it using the CUPS interface I am not offered adminstrator settings (I always used my root password for this hitherto) so cannot change the settings to share the printer. All of this works on Linux Mint 18.1 fwiw. Is there a known fix for this ?

[opensuse] setting up mysql error
by george from the tribe 02 Feb '17

02 Feb '17

Ok, so I used the following procedure https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:LAMP_setup to set up an apache2 web server, then php7, and then the mysql server with mariadb. Following that procedure in the SDB, it ran great, I was able to set up a small database, connect to it and edit it with phpmyadmin, and was pretty happy with it. Of course, there is one problem with that setup, and that is that it installs all the database files in the root partition. The SDB doesn't give any guidelines for how to move the database to my home partition, which is where I want it to be. So, I tried to move things on my own, and I am sure I messed something up. The directory where the database was installed at first was here: /var/lib/mysql And the directory that had the apache2 web server and phpmyadmin was here: /srv/www/htdocs Also, there was a file, /etc/my.cnf, in which you could change the location of the database. So here is what I did - I shutdown thy mysql service with systemctl stop mysql Then I went into /etc/my.cnf and put in this line where it says to in the file: # Remove leading # if you want to store your database elsewhere datadir = /home/george/FaithWiringDB/dbproj/mysql Then I copied the mysql files from /var/lib/mysql over to /home/george/FaithWiringDB/dbproj/mysql at first I changed the permissions to george:users, but that didn't work so I changed them back to root:root Now, when I tried to do systemctl start mysql.service, it won't start. # systemctl start mysql.service Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mysql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. And here is the error I get: # systemctl status -l mysql ● mysql.service - MySQL server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mysql.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: activating (start-post) (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2017-01-31 15:45:43 PHT; 26s ago Process: 15402 ExecStart=/usr/lib/mysql/mysql-systemd-helper start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Process: 15388 ExecStartPre=/usr/lib/mysql/mysql-systemd-helper upgrade (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 15375 ExecStartPre=/usr/lib/mysql/mysql-systemd-helper install (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 15402 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE); : 15403 (mysql-systemd-h) Tasks: 2 (limit: 512) CGroup: /system.slice/mysql.service └─control ├─15403 /bin/bash /usr/lib/mysql/mysql-systemd-helper wait └─15488 sleep 1 Jan 31 15:45:43 facofficeeng02 systemd[1]: Starting MySQL server...

[opensuse] Settings to have wifi up and running after boot
by Albert, Oszkó 01 Feb '17

01 Feb '17

Hi all, This is a long standing problem for me. Now I have an ASUS K501 UX laptop with Leap 42.2 and KDE. Tha laptop possibly does not matter, since this was the situation with 42.1 on this laptop and 42.1 on a Lenovo and on another kind of ASUS with 42.2. The symptoms: When I boot, wired connection gets initialized, and usable when I plug in the cord. I would expect that if and when the network cable is not plugged, the wifi starts working automatically. This is not the case and rfkill says wireless is hard blocked. I can only get wifi running if I put the system to sleep (with fn+Zz or mains switch), and then wake it up (with Esc or mains switch). Sometimes this should be done twice. There is another twist: boot+put to sleep + waking always works on one condition: the mains (or battery charger) is plugged. In this case closing the lid suspends the system and opening the lid wakes it up. When the charger is not plugged the above sequence sometimes works and sometimes (mostly) not. Closing the lid suspends the laptop, opening the lid either wakes it up or causes reboot. I do not know and understand how and why these phenomena are connected. What the charger plugged in state has to do with wifi start or reboot. It is mysterious why the things sometimes at least partly work and sometimes why not. And the basic question is: why the configured wifi does not start after or during bootup. Any kind of hints or tips are welcome. Regards, Albert

[opensuse] cannot delete a RAID drive
by george from the tribe 01 Feb '17

01 Feb '17

I am trying to free up a partition on my work desktop. One of the partitions on the extra disk is part of an old RAID-1 configuration, and I am trying to delete the raid drive from the system and re-format that partition. However, whenever I try to use fdisk, it re-activates the RAID even though I have already removed it. Here is my partition table: # fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x12c2c333 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sdb1 2048 206847 204800 100M 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sdb2 206848 324458495 324251648 154.6G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sdb3 324458496 358275071 33816576 16.1G 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sdb4 * 358275072 1953523711 1595248640 760.7G 5 Extended /dev/sdb5 358277120 419717119 61440000 29.3G 83 Linux /dev/sdb6 419719168 481159167 61440000 29.3G 83 Linux /dev/sdb7 481161216 1953523711 1472362496 702.1G 83 Linux The device in question is /dev/sdb5. Note how if I look at the mdstat file, it shows it is active. So I try to fail the drive, but it won't let me. Then I stop the raid drive and remove it, and it shows it is no longer there. Seems like it should work. facofficeeng02:/home/george # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sdb5[0] 30703616 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_] md1 : active raid1 sdb7[0] 736050176 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_] bitmap: 6/6 pages [24KB], 65536KB chunk unused devices: <none> facofficeeng02:/home/george # cat /etc/mdadm.conf ARRAY /dev/md/facofficeeng02:1 UUID=a8872a97:eecd6828:f759773c:cb18678e facofficeeng02:/home/george # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sdb5[0] 30703616 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_] md1 : active raid1 sdb7[0] 736050176 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_] bitmap: 6/6 pages [24KB], 65536KB chunk unused devices: <none> facofficeeng02:/home/george # mdadm --fail /dev/md0 /dev/sdb5 mdadm: set device faulty failed for /dev/sdb5: Device or resource busy facofficeeng02:/home/george # mdadm --stop /dev/md0 mdadm: stopped /dev/md0 facofficeeng02:/home/george # mdadm --remove /dev/md0 facofficeeng02:/home/george # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md1 : active raid1 sdb7[0] 736050176 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_] bitmap: 6/6 pages [24KB], 65536KB chunk unused devices: <none> However, then when I run fdisk again, just to try and mess with it, the array re-activates itself: acofficeeng02:/home/george # fdisk /dev/sdb Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.28). Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. Be careful before using the write command. Command (m for help): q facofficeeng02:/home/george # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sdb5[0] 30703616 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_] md1 : active raid1 sdb7[0] 736050176 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_] bitmap: 6/6 pages [24KB], 65536KB chunk unused devices: <none> I wanted to use fdisk to try and do something to that partition, but the array is reactivated as soon as I run fdisk. I tried gdisk for experiment (I can't use gdisk because the drive is mbr, not gpt), and it does the same thing. The drive re-activates itself. How do I completely get rid of my system seeing the raid in this partition and reactivating itself? I removed all the information from the /etc/mdadm.conf file for that drive, so it is not getting information from there. I am on a 42.2 system. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] cfdisk - strange bad behavior in openSUSE 13.2
by Istvan Gabor 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Hello: This occurs in openSUSE 13.2. Whenever I run cfdisk (version: cfdisk from util-linux 2.25.1) after exiting the program the given device is "rescanned" and my desktop is populated with "A new medium has been detected" windows (Trinity desktop), as many as the partition numbers on the disk. dmesg also indicates that the device was "rescanned". For example: # cfdisk /dev/sdd I exit cfdisk without modifying anything 11 "new devices window appears on the desktop dmesg shows: [ 940.463099] sdd: sdd1 sdd2 sdd3 sdd4 < sdd5 sdd6 sdd7 sdd8 sdd9 sdd10 sdd11 sdd12 > If I login from a remote computer through ssh and run and exit cfdisk, the windows appear on the current user's desktop. This is an unwanted behavior. I've been using cfdisk for several years but never seen something similar. How can I stop this?
