[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).

No Login, no Graphics after update to Tumbleweed 20230211-0
by Peter Maffter 30 Mar '24

30 Mar '24

Hello, after the update the screen only shows a '-'. All the usual other tty screens that you get with e.g. STRG-ALT-F1 are also gone. I can connect to the PC via ssh from my Ubuntu Laptop and check what is going on. I am using an old GTX 570 on that PC. Previously when the G06 stuff was installed instead of updating the needed G04 stuff, I was able to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.157.run manually and the login and XFCE worked. But now even that fails. :-( Any pointers? Is that the beginning of the things that are named in Subject "Nvidia 390x driver users - glibc 2.37 will bring bad news" ? I do have strange output about signature and verification: 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628957+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.411047][ T527] nvidia: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel. 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628957+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.411690][ T527] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628958+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.412304][ T527] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628958+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.418769][ T527] nvidia: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628963+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.426827][ T538] tg3 0000:0d:00.0 eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM57781) rev 57785100] (PCI Express) MAC address 00:25:22:e6:5d:d3 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628964+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.427483][ T538] tg3 0000:0d:00.0 eth0: attached PHY is 57765 (10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet) (WireSpeed[1], EEE[1]) 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628964+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.428122][ T538] tg3 0000:0d:00.0 eth0: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] TSOcap[1] 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628965+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.428740][ T538] tg3 0000:0d:00.0 eth0: dma_rwctrl[00000001] dma_mask[64-bit] 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628965+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.482616][ T527] nvidia-nvlink: Nvlink Core is being initialized, major device number 241 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628966+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.488784][ T527] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: vgaarb: changed VGA decodes: olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=none:owns=io+mem 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628971+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.489637][ T527] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 390.157 Wed Oct 12 09:19:07 UTC 2022 (using threaded interrupts) 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628972+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.499362][ T527] nvidia-modeset: Loading NVIDIA Kernel Mode Setting Driver for UNIX platforms 390.157 Wed Oct 12 09:15:25 UTC 2022 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628972+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.505733][ T527] [drm] [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Loading driver 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628973+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.506428][ T527] [drm] Initialized nvidia-drm 0.0.0 20160202 for 0000:01:00.0 on minor 1 Update openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230211-0 -> 20230212-0 did not help either.

Copy and Paste does not work while installing programs
by Per Inge Oestmoen 11 Dec '23

11 Dec '23

Hello all! I have four machines here, all with openSUSE Leap 15.4. With three of them there are no particular problems, but with the one I am using now there is a consistent, reproducible error: When I am installing a number of programs, I normally copy my password when installing the first in the row. Then, it is easy to paste in the same password for each successive installation. However, with this machine that is impossible. I copy the password, but after I have exited the dialog box the copied password is erased from memory and I have to type the password each time when doing the subsequent installations. Further; as long as I have the dialog box open the password copied is kept in memory and can be pasted into a document I made to test this, but when I close the dialog box in order to go to Yast2 the password is evidently erased since it then cannot be pasted into the document. It is gone, but on my other machines it is kept in memory and can be pasted into the dialog box. See the attached screen shot; that is where it happens. What configuration error have I inadvertently made, since the password is not kept in memory on this one machine? Sincerely, Per Inge Oestmoen, Norway

keyboard becomes extremely slow
by mh＠mike.franken.de 26 Nov '23

26 Nov '23

Hi *, for some time now I have a problem with the keyboard on my notebook. It becomes extremely slow, i.e. only one or two keypresses are shown every 10 seconds. Special keyboard shortcuts like Alt-F4 or Ctrl-F5 are working as expected. Switching to a Linux console with Ctrl-Alt-[0-9] is still working, too. In the Linux console typing works without any problems then. Switching back to KDE again/still shows the problem. The only "solution" I found is to logout and login. For a while the keyboard then works as expected, until the same problem reoccurs. The intervals the problem shows up vary between once an evening to every 10 minutes. It happens in all programs one can type anything, i.e. OO Writer, graphical terminals or even dialog boxes of any kind. It happens with the internal notebook keyboard and also with an external USB keyboard. Machine: Type: Convertible System: Dell product: XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 v: N/A ´ openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230509 Any idea, what the reason might be and what to do against it? TIA. Bye. Michael.

Hunting for bits
by Roger Oberholtzer 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

I am making an OEM installable image of Leap 15.5. One part is where you tell it what packages/patterns to install. Generally, this works fine. But I seem always to be missing a few things. One that drives me crazy is: Who defines the alias 'll' (ls -L) for bash? I see this for zfs (/etc/zshrc). But I do not see this for bash. At least it seems not to be defined anywhere in /etc. Anyone know which package contains this? -- Roger Oberholtzer

[oS-EN] How do I log out from Plasma? [solved]
by Carlos E. R. 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

It is ridiculous, but I don't see how to log out. In the application launcher, click at bottom left of the desktop, it says: Sleep, Hibernate, Restart, Shut down, Applications and Places. Ah, found it. There is a tiny arrow "<" at the right of the list, that I thought would hide the list, but pops up a tiny menu: "log out, lock, switch user". How come that "log out" is hidden that much, while power down is prominent? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

[oS-EN] Virtual desktops in Plasma
by Carlos E. R. 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

Hi, Trying KDE after at least a decade with XFCE. I use many virtual workspaces, or virtual desktops in KDE parlance. I have 6 in this laptop. In XFCE, you can move around using [Ctrl][Alt][Cursor-Key]. In KDE that doesn't work. There is [Ctrl][F1], [Ctrl][F2], etc. It works up to F4, but F5 and F6 don't work. Why, is this a bug? Something else? There is another method, which is moving the mouse to the edge and insisting, in my case 250mS (setup in "Screen Edges"). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Hi, I'm trying out Plasma. I'm used to XFCE. There I have defined the compose key to be the left-win key. Press left-win, then 'oo' and I get the degree character. And many more combinations. In KDE, left win produces the global menu. I have gone to Settings, Keyboard, Advanced, [X] configure keyboard options. I go to "position of Compose key". Tick "Left Win", apply... and it still activates the global menu. Is this a bug? Something else? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

Can network manager change MTU?
by James Knott 28 Oct '23

28 Oct '23

I've been trying to experiment with jumbo frames. On my ThinkPad, with MTU set to Automatic, the MTU does not follow what the DHCP server provides. I have even tried manually setting the value, but that doesn't work either, even when set to something smaller, such as 1492. Is this an issue with the Network Manager? Or perhaps a hardware limitation? I can change MTU in Yast Network Setting on my desktop system. I'm running openSUSE 15.4 & KDE. tnx jk

PC hard crash regularly: need some help to pinpoint the problem
by Martin /Nightowl/ Byttebier 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

Hello, Since a week ot two I've severe problems with the stability of my desktop pc (Dell XPS 8940). For some reason the pc hard crash several times a day. Sometimes it take 4 hours before the system crashes but there are times (like today) the pc crashes 3 times within 2 hours. One crash occured when I wakened up he pc, the other two crashes happened when I opened a programm (Zotero, Firefox) Most of the time I had only Amarok,Libreoffice, Firefoxa and Zotero running. With hard crash I mean that the system completley stops. No keyboard action, I can't remotely access the pc. If at the time of the crash music was playing I hear an endeless loop of the last second or so. I need to press the powerbuttom to stop the pc. The logfiles doesn't say much. Now and them I see something about the GPU is fallen of the socket. NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:02:00): 79, pid='<unknown>', name=<unknown>, GPU has fallen off the bus. The error code Xid 79 indicates that it can be a hardware problem but also a driver problem. It's a dual boot system windows 10 and Tumbleweed. Strange enough so far I haven't encounter the crash problem under W10. I suppose if it's a hardware problem I should happens under W10 too, isn't it? Any thought about this?

Hi Would there be a program that seeks anywhere inside a partition, trying to find a file that is identical to a given one (or a list or a pattern), and hard link them?

Hello, Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20231022 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 Kernel Version: 6.5.8-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-11700 @ 2.50GHz Memory: 15.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NV174 Problem: I still using an old Atari dtp-program called Calamus for a montly magazine. It runs just fine under wine. I'm not quite sure but I believe when I save my work the program renames a previous version of the doc as whatever.bak and then save the current work under whatever.cdk Until recently dolphin displayed both whatever.cdk and whatever.bak. But now I noticed whatever.bak became invisible. It's marked as backup file. I wonder if this is a normal behaviour? Under Leap 15.4 and 15.5 this doesn't happen. Both files remains visible. Thanks, Martin -- Atari FTP-site: ftp://kurobox.serveftp.net:3021 Running openSUSE Tumbleweed / KDE 5.27.8

23 Oct '23

Hi, I have tried to mail to the list owner, but it seems that is not read by anyone in a timely manner. Currently the mailing list mailserver has a misconfiguration with the dns settings and as a result my mailserver is rejecting the mails from the list The issue is there is no host mx1.infra.opensuse.org 2023-10-23T15:03:10.411301+02:00 forest postfix/smtpd[29482]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mx1.opensuse.org[195.135.221.175]: 450 4.7.1 <mx1.infra.opensuse.org>: Helo command rejected: Host not found; from=<SRS0=HSS3=GD=lists.opensuse.org=users-bounces(a)opensuse.org> to=<toganm(a)dinamizm.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<mx1.infra.opensuse.org> So someone with admin capabilities on the opensuse.org should better fix this Thanks Togan

OS disk cloning
by Roger Oberholtzer 23 Oct '23

23 Oct '23

If, as part of a disaster recovery system, you wanted to make a copy of your openSUSE OS disk, what are the best programs to use? I guess as part of this there is the discussion of what might need to be changed if the image is on another disk (/etc/fstab) for example). How about rescuezilla? -- Roger Oberholtzer

Backup files deleted by: "Repository 'repo-oss (15.5)' is managed by service"
by Per Inge Oestmoen 22 Oct '23

22 Oct '23

Hello! Yesterday I installed and configured a new machine. This time I chose openSUSE 15.5, which may have been a not so wise choice. - Let us see. - Normally, the first thing I do before applying any update from the repositories is to configure the system so that the downloaded packages are kept, in /var/cache/zypp/packages. From there, I can copy and download them for future installations with no need for a connectivity. This is my normal procedure. However, after having configured the repositories the way I have always done, I got the message for each and everyone of them: "Repository X is managed by service 'Y' Your manual changes might be reset by the next service refresh!" Upon looking into /var/cache/zypp/packages it turned out that there was nothing there - the system had not kept my downloads. I have never asked a "service" to manage the repositories and reset my chosen changes! Why does this suddenly happen? What do I have to do in order to delete these infamous "services" once and for all so that they do not reset my changes - something I absolutely do not want. See the messages below. Thank you for your help! ---- Repository 'repo-oss (15.5)' is managed by service 'openSUSE'. Your manual changes might be reset by the next service refresh! Repository 'repo-non-free (15.5)' is managed by service 'NVIDIA'. Your manual changes might be reset by the next service refresh! Repository 'update-non-oss (15.5)' is managed by service 'openSUSE'.

Sound under Tumbletweed
by Wolfgang Mueller 21 Oct '23

21 Oct '23

On Monday last week, I have installed Tumbletweed with KDE Plasma. In the first two days, the sound worked fine, but then it stopped working and a red diagonal stroke appeared across the speaker icon on the panel. When I click on it, a window pops up, entitled "Audio volume" and saying: "No output or input devices found", but not giving me any chance of specifying such a device. Since under Tumbletweed, Yast does not contain any possibility of sound configuration, I don't know what to do for making the two sound cards, or at least one of them, work. Any help is welcome. Thank you in advance and best regards, Wolfgang.

Xorg failure, I need help

Hi, this is a little above my pay grade to try and solve, so need a kind guru!

glibc version in Leap 15.1
by Roger Oberholtzer 15 Oct '23

15 Oct '23

Leap 15.5 uses glibc 2.31. I have a binary SDK from a LiDAR sensor supplier that seems to have been linked with glibc 2.34. So when I try to link with it on a Leap 15.5 system, I get: ./libscanifc-mt.so: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./libscanifc-mt.so) ./libscanifc-mt.so: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by ./libscanifc-mt.so) I am trying to see if the supplier has a version of their SDK linked with an older glibc. I hope one that is not older (in their SDK versions) than the one I have for 2.34 (which they claim is built with gcc 11). That one works fine on Tumbleweed. So I caught this when trying to do a build of our software for a different target platform (Leap 15.5). While I wait for that info, I am exploring my options. I know that glibc is a fragile and key component, so mucking about with it is generally to be avoided. Having said that, is it possible to update glibc on Leap 15.5? If so, how obtrusive is that update? As it should provide the earlier glibc interfaces as well, maybe it is rather self-contained? Just the glibc needs to be updated? These glibc things are installed in the Leap 15.5 system: glibc-locale-base-2.31-150300.58.1.x86_64 glibc-locale-2.31-150300.58.1.x86_64 linux-glibc-devel-5.14-150500.12.3.2.x86_64 glibc-2.31-150300.58.1.x86_64 glibc-devel-2.31-150300.58.1.x86_64 -- Roger Oberholtzer

Leap 15.5 network not fully functional
by Damon Register 14 Oct '23

14 Oct '23

I just installed Leap 15.5 on my home server computer. The install seemed to go ok and the system is up and running, sort of. online updates hang and then finally timeout. Yast package manager won't load. Firefox cannot navigate to opensuse.org but I am able to surf elsewhere and even play a Youtube video. On my Windows PC I am able to navigate to opensuse.org which is how I downloaded the installation media but for reason I don't understand the Leap 15.5 PC just doesn't like opensuse. Any idea why only opensuse is a problem with this PC? I have a bad feeling like that guy from from the movie "Airplane" that my timing is bad. I remember talk about possible demise of Leap but I don't know if that has anything to do with my problem. Damon Register

Re: LibreOffice
by Chuck Davis 14 Oct '23

14 Oct '23

I know Suse is a big supporter of LibreOffice. As soon as I switched to Wayland LibreOffice menu item for "window" quit working properly. For several months now I have been struggling to use it with more than one document/spreadsheet open but it's quite annoying. Having separate windows that can be placed on different virtual desktops is nice but it would be nicer if the windowing menu worked. Does anyone from Suse on this list know if there is a plan to make windowing work properly on Wayland in the near future?? Thanks for any info.

curl / libcurl updates?
by David C. Rankin 13 Oct '23

13 Oct '23

Devs, all, With the CVE reports on fire about curl / libcurl, when should we be looking for updates? Even the maintainer is mum about the exact versions subject to the exploit for fear of identifying the broken component, so it must be pretty bad... Just checking. And for those not aware, if you have applications using curl / libcurl, (just about all net connected apps do), update quickly when available. Upstream fix available now. -- David C.

Dual boot TW/Win11
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 13 Oct '23

13 Oct '23

Hi, every once in a while I have boot issues with my dual boot laptop where Windows 11 and Tumbleweed are installed. Just today I booted Windows (which does not happen very often but sometimes I need to) and had to install a bunch of updates. Now I cannot boot to TW anymore. So something must have destroyed the boot. When I open the BIOS during boot I still have the entry opensuse-secureboot available but selecting it just brings me back to the same selection so apparently something is broken there. What is the correct way to recover that and can I avoid this somehow? Thanks, Wolfgang

In the article https://news.opensuse.org/2023/06/06/leap-modern-python-stack/ support for Python 3.11 is announced for Leap 15.5. However I can't find how to enable this support. Where is the repository with the packages for this version? The current python3.11 packages in the standard repository are not sufficient for my use case. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf

No sound output through HDMI
by Bob Williams 11 Oct '23

11 Oct '23

I have laptop running Leap 15.5, which I occasionally connect to my Samsung smart TV and Samsung Soundbar. The video works fine, with the desktop being mirrored on the TV screen. But sound only comes out of the laptop speakers. The TV has its own speakers, or it can use the Soundbar. Likewise, the laptop can link directly to the soundbar via bluetooth. But whichever combination I try, I cannot get sound out of either the TV speakers or the Soundbar. It has worked OK in the past, so I know it is possible. My impression is that the problem is in some configuration within the laptop which should redirect sound from the internal speakers to the HDMI output. Any suggestions, please?

switch to plocate

Hi List, I just DUPed my Tumbleweed to 20231001, which obvioiusly force-switched me from mlocate to plocate.

Just in case anybody wants to know. The problem (that pulse-audio equalizer does not work on OS 15.5) can be solved, adding the line export LADSPA_PATH=/usr/lib64/ladspa to /etc/profile.d/pulseaudio.sh I wanted to file a bug, but found that there was already one for leap from September 2021: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1190074 and tried the solution presented there.

Recommended docker tutorial for working with large web packages?
by David C. Rankin 03 Oct '23

03 Oct '23

All, Does anyone have a favorite link that explains the "midlevel" management of large web projects with docker. I have searched and read, but I seem to be just getting disjointed bits of basic how to or being stuck in the full docker.com reference. I have the basics, I can pull, attach, detach, exec, restart, manage IDs, for normal single apps, etc..., but I'm flummoxed trying to sort out and get eGroupware configured and running in docker with docker-compose and the 10 other apps it pulls in, collabra, rocketchat, swoolepush, etc... docker compose pulls everything and sets it up and running, but all I can get back from nginx over :8080 is "I'm working, but the page has permanently moved..." Nothing on the other exported port of :4443. So far I've ended up with 5 source trees of eGroupware in /var/lib/docker/... in 4 volumes and 1 overlay for the various configs I've tried with intervening 'docker compose up' and 'docker compose down'. Worth a chance to ask if someone has a favorite link or howto that discusses docker at that level that not on page 227 of the full manual. (yes, I would use the opensuse package, but the server I'm working with is running Arch, and all the egroupware folks cater to in their howto's is Ubuntu -- though why it matters for a container is odd, but it does, and unfortunately the traditional egroupware web-install is no longer actively supported - while it still works it quite flaky due to push-notifications replacing normal Ajax or js page update and the push implemented only works within the container.) Any suggestions welcomed, in the meantime I'll keep plowing through the docker.com reference material... Oh joy... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
