[opensuse] SUSE SWAMP
by Ciro Iriarte 06 Apr '09

Anybody tried it?, is it actually being used on the Opensuse project?. Looks interesting.... Maybe it can replace workflow apps on Domino/Notes... Webpage: http://swamp.sourceforge.net/ SWAMP - The Workflow Platform SWAMP is a workflow processing platform. Workflows are processes with many people involved in many working steps. In a real world scenario these workflows are highly dynamic, but still many systems try to hardcode the business logic. That leads to raising efforts to adapt the system. Here is where SWAMP steps in: The workflow is designed in a XML based meta language in one file which is read by SWAMP. Workflows can be built from different workflow 'patterns' like simple actions, decisions, selections, loops, but also custom code and external events if required. SWAMP builds a HTML GUI from the workflow definition file that guides different users through the whole process, sends notifications if required, assembles overview pages over all running processes and much more. A SOAP interface can be used to integrate external systems into the workflow. These are SWAMPs main Features: * Support of many different workflow patterns * Flexibility in workflow design: A workflow can be specified in a single XML file * Workflow evolution: Workflows can be developed while in operation (versioning) * Ease of use: clear and straightforward XML based workflow definition language, no coding skills needed * Workflows can attach data and files * Automatic web-GUI generation for handling individual tasks and administrating workflows * Running on Linux + Windows with OS-independant tools: Java, Tomcat, MySQL * MySQL + LDAP authentication possible * User and Role management, workflows/tasks can be restricted * Mail notification system included * Unlimited amount of different workflow-types on one server * Scheduler to control time-critical workflow paths * SOAP interface allows interaction with external systems * Openness: Custom code allows unlimited functionality, event- and data gateways * Customizeable overview lists with filters -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] set time and date in 9.3
by Doug McGarrett 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

It's been several years since I saw this problem and I forget how to fix it. The --help command is confusing to me. The problem: the computer is approximately 8 months slow--it thinks it's last March. Interestingly, the time is correct. If I need to be in SU mode, please advise. TIA-- doug Blessed are the peacemakers ... for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.

[opensuse] Hopefully simple printing question
by Greg Freemyer 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

All, OS 10.3 / KDE / Network Printer (HP 4500 Color Laser) My printer has somehow stalled. Everything I print goes to a queue and never pops out of the printer. I know the printer is not the problem because I have a XP VM on the same machine and I can print from there fine. How do I tell OS to start printing again.

[opensuse] Speech-to-Text
by Donald D Henson 23 May '08

23 May '08

Does anyone know of an Open Source application to accept continuous speech and convert it to text? I've found a couple of proprietary apps but you have to use Voice mail as an input. Any suggestions appreciated. Don Henson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] frequent hard locks on a hp laptop.
by Sampsa Riikonen 19 May '08

19 May '08

Hello, I am experiencing frequent and very annoying hard locks on my hp tx1000 series laptop.. few (~ 4) times a week. I have disabled all power management (when using it, the hard locks were even more frequent). And no, I have not blocked the ventilation. .. and the processor ventilation fan is not running at maximum speed when the hard locks occur. Is there any way to debug a problem like this? I suppose it will leave no trace into the log files..? Is there any other operating system that would be more stable on my laptop.. like vis..? no!, just kidding. ;) I am running 32-bit version of suse 10.3 and update it quite frequently.

That's running mprime while running XP with it downloading and installing updates as well. The combination of removing the nvidia driver and passing "acpi_use_timer_override" seems to have taken care of 99% of the problem. However the mce errors are hardware errors, so it looks like the nvidia 8600GT card causes real problems when the full proprietary nvidia kernel module is loaded. Hmm, no more compiz until this is resolved. Thanks for your response -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
