[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).

Well, I did not know about it. It has a search of stations near me, but it distributes the 60 stations in 3 pages, which makes search by name impossible. And the station I want, a major national network, is not listed. And apparently, it doesn't have a button to search by text, just in case it is not considered to be near me. Clicking at random, the strange symbol at the top left is clickable and offers to do a search, and does find the network I want, but not the station in my region. I can not search inside the results, because it distributes them in 10 pages. Yes, the one I want is in the second page, I was lucky. Well, it works, once I know its quirks. I will have to try this page in the laptop, find out how much CPU it uses. [...] On my puny laptop, it uses 100% CPU on its two cores, using a new Firefox profile. I will have to kill adds and retry. [...] Add blockplus added. CPU load reduced to 50..60% on two cores. Well, that's the main reason I do not use the station own web browser site, either. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

gui program can't resolve hostname
by Istvan Gabor 07 Jan '23

07 Jan '23

Hello: I have an openSUSE Leap 15.1 system where the VoIP program IHU (I hear you) works.I also have another Leap 15.1 installation where the program doesn't work, it exits with error, it can't resolve any hostame. It can't resolve either localhost or any valid hostname in the network. It works if I use direct IP address. Command line tools ping and host can resolve hostnames. How could I trace what causes the error? It must be some difference in some configuration or the installed packages between the two 15.1 systems. The IHU program is:ihu-0.6.0-lp151.2.6.x86_64. I use networkmanager for networking.This is how the program runs:1. using IP address:> ihu --nogui --call 127.0.0.1Starting IHU without GUI...Press CTRL-C to terminateMon Dec 26 19:11:48 2022 - Contacting 127.0.0.1...Warning: Mon Dec 26 19:11:48 2022 - CALL to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)Mon Dec 26 19:11:48 2022 - Closing communication...Mon Dec 26 19:11:50 2022 - 127.0.0.1 rejected the call.Warning: Mon Dec 26 19:11:50 2022 - HANG UP with 127.0.0.1: 0 bytes received, 6 bytes sent2. using localhost> ihu --nogui --call localhostStarting IHU without GUI...Press CTRL-C to terminateError: can't resolve localhostABORTED.Error: can't resolve localhost> ping localhostPING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.042 ms64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.038 ms64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.051 ms64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.035 ms> host localhostlocalhost has address 127.0.0.1localhost has IPv6 address ::1localhost mail is handled by 1 localhost.Any suggestion would be appreciated.Thanks,Istvan

No directory ownership on CIFS mount
by gumb 02 Jan '23

02 Jan '23

I have some directories that seem to be missing ownership. The files within them are all attributed to an owner but some (not all) of the directories themselves have an 'empty' owner, at least when viewed within Dolphin file manager. I've already run this command, as root, from the top-level directory: > chown -R 4242:fbox_cifs media/ but this doesn't enforce user 4242 as the owner of all the directories, only the files within them. How can I correct this? I'll send more detail if necessary but maybe there's a simple solution without me having to post several more paragraphs. gumb

Re: PHP Fatal erro: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() RESOLVED.

Good deal, That makes sense. The old "mysql" extension was deprecated long ago moving to "mysqli" and more predominantly "pdo_mysql" now. I am not familiar with "mysqlnd". All extensions provide the same functionality as far as providing access to your databases -- they just do it differently. I've used mysqli and pdo_mysql and between the two have found mysqli closer to the old mysql, but also found I prefer the pdo_mysql interface a bit more. It's dead-bang simple after you make friends with it. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[oS-EN] Trying to listen to internet radio stations
by Carlos E. R. 29 Dec '22

29 Dec '22

Hi, I am trying "gradio", a gtk based app to listen to internet radio. But it doesn't have a list of stations! It is impossible to listen to anything. I install "girl", a gnome radio program. It has a map of the world to click on which country you want to see stations, but it doesn't react. It has a button named "internet radio stations" which pops a long list of stations, unsorted, apparently from all over the world. There is no search thing to search by a name. Then I installed "radiotray-ng". It has a list sorted by categories, none from Spain that I can see. Can you suggest some other software that actually works? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)

[oS-en] Boot failure after uupgrade of old laptop to Leap 15.4
by Carlos E. R. 23 Dec '22

23 Dec '22

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I upgraded my old laptop to Leap 15.4 from 15.3, using the offline method (boot dvd/usb, choose upgrade) and it doesn't boot. Instead of the Grub screen I get a black display with a big cursor blinking at the top left. The machine is BIOS, not UEFI, and the disk is MBR type. The MBR has syslinux that boots partition 4, the extended "container" partition, which contains Grub in its boot sector. I booted a rescue USB (Leap 15.1 rescue image), updated bootinfoscript, and obtained the report. I removed the sdb parts to reduce confussion, as sdb is the rescue USB stick.

xscreensaver and sonar

Anyone know how to get the xscreensaver app sonar to work (ping and show results) on 15.4 x64?

OT - "open source" firewalls and hardware.
by joe a 22 Dec '22

22 Dec '22

Flame retardant thermal ware in place. In the Dim Time, I used IPCop for a few years. When support for that faded, I opted for a hardware unit provided by a vendor I was a "partner" with. They discontinued that platform and will not support it in the future. I'm facing pursuing upgrading with them or returning to the open source playground on either existing hardware or an APU1 or APU2 type box. Suggestions? Pointers to current "best in class" information?

Can't install via PXE
by Daniel Spannbauer 22 Dec '22

22 Dec '22

Hello, I try to install a new machine via PXE. We did this many times before, but now we've got new hardware and it doesn't work anymore. But I don't know why.... The new hardware has a MSI MPG B550 mainboard, network chipset needs a r8169 driver. The machine boots fine (as allways) but after loading the initrd it stops with a "can't mount root fs" and a kernel panic. The config for the pxelinux looks like: label 15.4 kernel 15.4/boot/x86_64/loader/linux append initrd=15.4/boot/x86_64/loader/initrd ramdisk_size=65536 splash=silent showopts BrokenModules=+gma500_gfx install=nfs://10.3.1.2/tftpboot/15.4 Also tried it with "insmod=r8169", but it doesn't help. Any Idea what's going on here? How can I get more infos? When the kernel panics, I can't go backwards to inspect the log...

openSUSE OBS mystery.

If one goes to this place: https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/devel:tools/ElectricFence/openS… and selects to download, say, the x64 src RPM: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools/openSUSE_Tumbleweed… firefox says this: ftp.gwdg.de has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site. Why is that site even involved? Is it a mirror for OBS? And if so, shouldn't it have the same access setup for this access? -- Roger Oberholtzer

Re: Leap 15.4 hangs on Terminate Plymouth boot screen

Nothing happens. > Changing the kernel parameters as suggested does not change the end result. No kernel messages constituting clues appeared during boot? Did you wait a short while before trying ENTER? Like David, I don't have Plymouth installed. I've heard that there are configurations that require it, but never experienced same. During installation, I taboo it. Its primary function seems to be to emulate Windows boot, which is to say, hide boot messages with a graphic screen until login becomes possible. Have you tried waiting a few minutes before giving up? Certain types of hangs will clear of their own accord if you wait long enough, often 90 seconds, but I've run across problems what will take more than 13 minutes before a dracut or emergency shell appears to report trouble. Can you do journalctl -b -1 after runlevel 1 boot to find persistent journal reporting errors? If not, you may need to enable persistence in /etc/systemd/journald.conf, and create directory /var/log/journal, then attempt reboot at least once before finding a prior boot journal to examine. Booted to runlevel 1, is there ample freespace on /? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

15.4 - How to make Mic work with Discord -- fine with Audacity and arecord??
by David C. Rankin 14 Dec '22

14 Dec '22

All, Here is a strange issue. Never use discord, but needed to tonight. I can't get it to use my microphone. Audacity and arecord have no issue at all using the mic. The details are: $ arecord -L null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) speexrate Rate Converter Plugin Using Speex Resampler upmix Plugin for channel upmix (4,6,8) default:CARD=PCH HDA Intel PCH, 92HD81B1X5 Analog Default Audio Device sysdefault:CARD=PCH HDA Intel PCH, 92HD81B1X5 Analog Default Audio Device front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, 92HD81B1X5 Analog Front output / input Audacity sees the mic without problems. For arecord, I specify -D front to tell it to use CARD=PCH,DEV=0. Discord on the other hand lists no audio devices in "Voice & Video" settings. The "INPUT DEVICE" and "OUTPUT DEVICE" are non-selectable -- but it thinks the mic is working (I can mute/unmute it) and I hear the other party on discord just fine. Anybody run into this? Any fix? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

15.4 - Why can't I lsattr on /run/netconfig/resolv.conf?
by David C. Rankin 11 Dec '22

11 Dec '22

All, This is strange, I can't list extended attributes on the real resolv.conf, e.g. # lsattr /run/netconfig/resolv.conf lsattr: Operation not supported While reading flags on /run/netconfig/resolv.conf or the same thing with realpath, e.g. # lsattr "$(realpath /etc/resolv.conf)" lsattr: Operation not supported While reading flags on /run/netconfig/resolv.conf I don't do a lot with extended attributes, but there are times I want to check or set them. Does the file have to previously have had the 'e' option set? If so, the man page for chattr say 'e' cannot be removed by chattr, so how would one set and remove the 'e' attribute if you no longer wanted extended attributes on the file? -- David C.

Trouble with Logitech Z906 Sound
by Robin Klitscher 06 Dec '22

06 Dec '22

System: openSUSE Leap 15.4; KDE Plasma 5.26.4; KDE Frameworks 5.100.0; Qt 5.15.7; Kernel 5.14.21-150400.24.33-default (64-bit); Graphics X11 Motherboard Gigabyte Z490 VISION G with sound card inbuilt. Problem: Recently purchased a Logitech Z906 5.1 sound system, but I'm having various problems in connecting it properly to the inbuilt sound card which is identified in Yast as Comet Lake PCH cAVS. Some things work; some don't. The principal difficulty is that it won't connect using the Logitech-recommended three TRS "six-channel direct" connectors. When I try to use them as the source for input to the Z906, the System Settings audio module identifies the connection as digital SPDIF, which it isn't, and all I get is silence. I can't check the alternative digital optical or digital coaxial connectors because the motherboard inbuilt device doesn't have them. The only way I can connect successfully is by using a single stereo TRS plug from the motherboard unit's Line Out socket with a conversion cable to two RCA stereo plugs at the Z906 end. That produces 5.1 sound on the face of it, but won't be taking full advantage of the capabilities of the Z906. I say it works, but it does so only in that it produces sound from each of the 5.1 speakers, even though the Audio module in System Settings shows only the Front Left and Front Right units. So, obviously, something's not right. Is there a sound system guru somewhere who can help me establish a working connection in this system between the motherboard sound unit and the Z906 using Logitech's supplied six-channel direct connectors? -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand

remote desktop between machines with private IP addresses
by Roger Oberholtzer 05 Dec '22

05 Dec '22

I have a situation where a user has a computer that they only have a private IP address for (ISP assigned). My computer is at work and also has a private IP address. Using TeamViewer, I can access the remote computer's desktop. My question is: is there an open source program that can accomplish the same thing? I suspect that TeamViewer works because it has a server that can be contacted and, I assume, set up a tunnel or whatever it does. I don't have such a server with a public IP address. This is something that I only do occasionally. So I don't want to buy a bunch of TeamViewer licenses if I do not need to. Any ideas? -- Roger Oberholtzer

Suse Tumbleweed: VirtualBox 7.0.4-2.1: none of the virtual machines starts up
by Peter Maffter 05 Dec '22

05 Dec '22

Tried to start one of my virtual machines, that were all working with Virtualbox 6.1.X, but it got stuck in the black boot screen. Same for all other virtual machines, that were working on the previous 6.1.X versions. Does anybody have a solution for this on Suse Tumbleweed? Is there a way to install the old 6.X-rpm? Is there some build instruction for building older versions from source? I was looking on the Oracle page and they seem to be Suse 15.3/15.4 oriented. BR

rtmp for Leap 15.4
by Damon Register 03 Dec '22

03 Dec '22

I am trying to get librtmp installed on my Leap 15.4 system. It is not available in Yast with the default repositories. With a little help from Google I found here https://software.opensuse.org/package/librtmp1 which says there is no official package but lists 3 community packages. I tried the first one (plex) but it failed to find most of the repositories that the installation was wanting. Do any of you have experience in getting rtmp on Leap? If so, did you use any of the three community packages mentioned above or some other method? Damon Register

whom to vote for? make opensuse great and modern again

List, seriously, whom to vote for when I am not happy with current opensuse proceedings. Whole -v1 -v2 and more deal is pretty frustrating. Also ancient versioned packages being shipped in current 'flagship' release. please do tell me why the ddclient on maintenance hangs for like 5months and not being released: <https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Maintenance:17573> why? when? this still makes the currently available ddclient package on the normal repos: Information for package ddclient: --------------------------------- Repository : Networking services and related tools (15.4) Name : ddclient Version : 3.9.1-lp154.84.1 like almost three years old: > <https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient/releases/tag/v3.9.1> I have not found yet? overlooked? the real technical reason for this whole -v1 abandonment discussion. was it because opensuse is trying to modernize and virtualize more of its core components or its whole os architecture on the inside or what is it *exactly* what the opensuse builders need from higher (more) cpu instruction sets beyond the first generation of when amd introduced its x86-64 (stop calling it intel). also nobody, *noone* produced a reliable and immediately usable package for current leap users to exactly check their cpu architecture for ABI level eligbility. that inxi stuff is bugged and all those other scripts apparently as well (awk on cpuinfo etc as far as I have read). i have plenty of AMD systems, not even only the first generation when amd started the x64 world, but even phenom II x6 1090T and such stuff. why would anyone want to ditch that kind of cpu? apparently all not eligible for -v2 readyness. or is it? please provide a sane and safe and valid and proven way to sort our cpu and platforms into the actual proper bins and baskets of these major abi levels. thanks. speaking of modern stuff, opensuse refuses to go down the software patents trap and ships like barely any codecs etc at all, so i wonder how any of you guys browses twitter on opensuse. opensuse and corporate folks speaking about how they can not break the law, and then pointing to freelance people at packman, let them break the law or fuss with the government and prosecution. cool way to get rid of trouble. thats at least how i see this in the public and this is the message that arrives on my premises. the only place i can use for videos is youtube for example as they offer streams in non nightmared codecs and encodings. plays nicely. thanks google. wonder when the rest of the industry, twitter was just a small (large encumbent) example as about how pretty much everybody else seems to just not care. or the internet is a corporates world more and more by every day. so speaking about needing modern cpu and instructions set, how about bringing the opensuse distribution up to par or modernize it on every other aspect, not starting with abandoning for no reason various cpu that re-started and advanced a whole era (x64) on the pc world. isnt opensuse just still a generic distribution to be meant for desktop and average users? so why not allowing people to use it on the very platform that expanded into a great new future with the extend 64bit instructionset introduced back then by amd in the first place. some other package that keeps me worrying strongly, is openssh. the guys also back longer time ago, introduced some key exchange (no techie here) or means to hinder quantum crypto attacks by adversaries collecting all your even encrypted streams of data they can get hold of. but I see no urgency or need at opensuse that leap would ship a decently recent openssh layer. am I misunderstanding this situation with the possibility and probability of attacking ssh or is opensuse just way too reluctant to ship like current software. not even cutting edge. but not like year old dated stuff? > <https://www.openssh.com/releasenotes.html>, check for: NTRU, post quantum i just read that leap 15.5 code deadline is like only a few weeks around the corner, january 2023. i do wonder what openssh we will get there and what and if ddclient manages to become shipped in a not-three-year-old version? what the heck :/ I remember, i used to buy and pay for suse distribution in the old days, not enterprise or such stuff, but back when you would get a shirnk wrapped package and printed manual, some CDs and DVD or so later on. book retailer and sofware shop. that kind of days. i seemed to be quite attached or admiring and excited about (open)suse and linux back in the days. I am kind of having lost that momentum...? returning to the question: who is able to lead and keep opensuse (leap) relevant for normal desktop and home users, i need to know whom to vote for. make opensuse great again. so what now? who wants my vote? ty
