[opensuse] Project management software question for project managers
by Ted Byers 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '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).

I have received a number of messages from various sources with a video attached, but across the face of what must be the first screen, is the message, "This video cannot be played." I'm curious--what kind of video is being sent that cannot be player, and why? --doug

In openSUSE 15.1, memtest, as installed, would not work with UEFI. Has this been fixed in 15.2? There is a version on the memtest website that will work with it. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

OS install on USB-C disk on a laptop
by Cyrus 18 Mar '22

18 Mar '22

Hello!, I have a work machine I cannot reinstall (comes with Windows), Latitude 5420. Given it has only one M2 slot, I'm exploring using a Sabrent nano USB-C external disk to run opensuse from it, but I'm wondering if it will work properly in a laptop scenario (suspend/resume). Can anybody share their experience with similar setups?. Regards, Cyrus.-

[opensuse] Bug in usb drivers? "Not enough bandwidth for new device state"
by Markus Egg 28 Feb '22

28 Feb '22

SuSE Tumbleweed with newest updates and upgrades. 5.7.1-1-default #1 SMP Wed Jun 10 11:53:46 UTC 2020 (6a549f6) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Just recently started to give error messages when plugging in e.g. USB Headsets, Arduino Uno into some Exsys USB 3.0 hub. This was working fine in Tumbleweed before and in e.g. SuSE 13.1. The error message is e.g.: [...]usb 2-1.4.3: new full-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd [...]usb 2-1.4.3: New USB device found, idVendor=2341, idProduct=0043, bcdDevice= 0.01 [...]usb 2-1.4.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=220 [...]usb 2-1.4.3: Manufacturer: Arduino (www.arduino.cc) ...serialnumber... [...]kernel: usb 2-1.4.3: Not enough bandwidth for new device state. [...]kernel: usb 2-1.4.3: can't set config #1, error -28 This error message started on Jun 04, after making an update (zypper up) on June 3rd. A USB3.0 stick is working on the Exsys Hub. The Arduino is working on some other USB 3.0 Port of another hub. Regression? Any hints how to get this away? Found only another occurrence of this bug: http://opensuse92.rssing.com/chan-20813128/all_p1407.html Best regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[oS-en] Reiserfs ongoing problem
by Carlos E. R. 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a problem with my one remaining reiserfs partition on rotating rust. The problem I initially detected was that telling the machine to hibernate sometimes appeared to stall, and I had to force a power off (via physical power switch) to recover. In fact, I found out later, the kernel was simply syncing one partition, and this operation would take half an hour, which it is absurd. Later I found out that it was only one partition affected, and this partition was (is) reiserfs. Then I guessed that the slow operation was syncing the metadata (the time stamps) of the news (nntp) spool. Traditionally a news server touches (and use) the access timestamp each time a post is read, affecting one file per read. With the default mount options used nowdays this modification stays in RAM for long, many hours. So, the cronjob that scans the news spool now also calls sync on that filesystem, and when hibernating I call sync in advance. This improved things, but not completely. Thus I finally resorted to moving the news spool only to another reiserfs partition created on an SSD disk, which usually syncs in seconds, instead of half an hour. So I thought, problem solved. But later on I noticed that the sync operation prior to hibernating on the old reiserfs partition still takes long, but only on some days - even if nothing writes there now. This is astonishing. Look, last Monday: Telcontar:~ # hibernate 2021-12-13 04:26:18+01:00 Checking news to send 2021-12-13 04:26:22+01:00 Syncing rm: cannot remove '/var/lib/news/bin/cronscriptparafetchnews.enabled': No such file or directory 2021-12-13 06:06:09+01:00 synced.
