[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

Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi all, Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no? end of line Tracer Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash -- ---KMail 1.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

Unlike Farrugut's order at the Battle of Mobile Bay, going full-speed ahead is not going to achieve any useful objectives, yet the dangers of systemd are still there. For one, systemd is making APPLICATIONS now dependant on the systemd API, which means when even the biggest fanboys here, at Redhat, and other distributions finally are forced to admit that systemd is a crock of shit.... we won't be able to remove it.... in other words, unlike Farragut, the probability of eventually being blown out of the water by a systemd torpedo is 100%.

[opensuse] No sound in Minecraft
by Mike 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

I've asked on the minecraft forums without a response so I'm trying here in case that it might be a SuSE configuration issue. I do not have sound in the game. This has been a problem for several versions nowCurently running 1.7.5. I've also tried the last 2 snapshots. I can play music fine and was able to play the sound files in .mineraft/assets/objects/* via Amarok. I have deleted the assets folder and had re-downloaded everything. I looked in the bug list and I found a few sound related issues, but they suggested that there was some sounds. The log only mentions minecraft:mob.witch.idle, but there are no sounds at all in game, but in options everything is set to 100%. I tried to force an older version in profile editor but still no sound going back to 1.4.2. I see a java Playback Stream in the mixer and volume is 100% there too. Any ideas?

I tried also with yast, setting up as a service (daemon) and starting it. It also stops immediately. In the denyhosts.log file there is no error info, just what it used to set it up at start.

[opensuse] 13.1 bootable USB stick
by Gustav Degreef 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Hello, I am trying to create a bootable USB thumb drive. I downloaded the liveKDE64bit iso and followed the procedure outlined in the SDB. I did: Created 2 primary partitions on the drive, sdb1 - 10 Gb and sdb2 - 4 Gb, both ext4. as root ran dd if=/mnt/iso/openSUSE-13.1-KDE-Live-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4M The drive boots into a grub prompt only, but no menu appears. I reformatted sdb1 and tried again using virtually the sme command except using bs=1M and the process was finished ran "sync". This was suggested on another web page for suse 13.1. The result is the same, just a grub boot prompt. I could, at the prompt, set the root device, the kernel and the initrd and boot, but it is cumbersome to do it every time. Any pointers on how to get the normal boot menu (that is on the dvd) would be much appreciated.

[opensuse] Why is dovecot using user home directory?
by James Knott 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

All this past week, I have been trying to get dovecot to work properly. For some reason, it now wants to use the users home directory, instead of ~/mail. Dovecot.conf has the line mail_location = mbox:/mail. I have also tried with mail_location = mbox:/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:LAYOUT=fs. Despite this, the home directory continues to be used, with all the files and directories (including hidden) appearing in the email client. Why is this happening now? I have set up dovecot several times in the past and never had this happen. Is this someone's idea of a "feature"?

It allows one or more fast storage devices such as flash-based solid-state drives (SSDs) to act as a cache for one or more slower hard disk drives, effectively creating hybrid volumes. It is designed around the performance characteristics of SSDs, minimizing write amplification by never performing random writes and by turning them into sequential writes instead – for both the cache and the primary storage. That helps in extending the lifetime of flash-based devices used as caches, and also improves performance of write-sensitive primary storages, like RAID 5. ······································++- Has some one tried it in openSUSE?

[opensuse] Why uuid its confusing
by Carl Spitzer 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

with all the talk against systemd which should be dumped or the distros forked to remove it I have another older problem uuid is a pain to use . the old way of /dev/* was easier to use and remember if you made a backup of this it would work on another drive whereas uuid ties you to one drive. cat /etc/fstab /dev/hda3 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/hda7 /boot ext2 acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/hdb1 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda8 swap swap defaults 0 0 is there a way back for 11.4 and 13.1??

[opensuse] libre office and staroffice
by jdd 04 Nov '14

Hello, I just had to recover very old course (2002) written with staroffice, just to notice libreoffice do not anymore convert these files. I'm a bit paranoid about backups, so I could find in my archives a staroffice binary :-). Linux one didn't run (lack of some library, may be solvable, but I didn't even tried), but windows versions run perfectly under wine :-). I can convert sdw files to doc and open these with libreoffice. but if I can open sda (draw) files, I don't find any way to export them to *vector* graphics and libreoffice do not open them. do you know any way to convert staroffice draw to libreoffice draw? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] oS on a tablet - has anyone tried it?

Hi all, I've been thinking for a while on buying a not too expenxsive tablet - 200-300 $ - and putting some linux on it. Android is not my friend. I have a Samsung Galay Tab 2 which works fine, but Android could not get close to my heart. I came accross this article http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/install-linux-on-y… It says that oS may be a fine distro with the tablet PC pattern. Newer distros may even be better. Did anyone of you tried oS with any kind of tablet? What are the experiences? Best regards, Albert

[opensuse] Getting ready for 13.2 - A little help?
by John Andersen 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

I've been holding back with 12.3 (and quite happy with it), but don't want to fall too far behind, and am planning to once again disrupt life I know it with 13.2 on my principal workstation. (all properly backed up and stuff). If 12.3 wasn't going to fall off support, I wouldn't be doing this at all. 12.3 was THAT good! So now the big question: When it all goes live next month..... Regular 13.2 -or- Tumbleweed(new)? Which gives me the best chance of not fighting broken stuff and being reasonably current for the longest time? I tend to keep up with updates, running apper and at least once a week checking yast mostly for the KDE and Xorg updates. (I generally know how to stay out of trouble in this area and avoid breaking my system). What would you guys recommend? Also If you have an opinion: Why would anyone install 13.2 and face an upgrade every X months, when they could just as well run the new Tumbleweed? With a an officially supported rolling release (finally) what is the point of the numbered releases going forward? -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] extraneous apostrophe in grub config?
by Peter 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

I know we're apparently being naughty if we mention 13.2RC1 in here, but I have a question that would apply equally to 13.1 anyway. What is wrong in the following grub.cfg line? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" resume=/dev/sda6 splash=silent quiet elevator='missing showopts" I removed the apostrophe after the elevator= part, and got the system to boot, although it threw some error message about missing showopts which I overrided by pressing a key. I don't know if there should be a closing apostrophe before the quote mark or some other fix. This was a result of me just doing an install of 13.2RC1 on an old laptop, but it was horked when configuring grub2 with some error message 'opensuse grub unexpected eof while looking for matching...' - I didn't note down the rest. So the above was the default line placed in the grub config, which doesn't seem correct, and the machine wouldn't boot at all without going through the rescue system and fixing it. I've not found anything specifically relating to this when Googling, but from bits and pieces of vaguely related errors and bugs in previous and other distros, I tracked it down to that file. So I could file a bug report, but I wonder how the grub line actually should read?

[opensuse] file browsing (dolphin and konqueror) hangs for 2 min periodically
by Carlos F. Lange 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

I have a 13.1 installation with KDE that is showing some annoying behaviour. Every 10 minutes or so dolphin just hangs for approx. 2 minutes and does not do anything. The entire window freezes and jsut buffers every click I do. There is no process keeping it busy and no indication what it is waiting for. When the freeze happens, all instances of dolphin and of konqueror (as file browser) also freeze. When the freeze passes, everything works fine and fast. I have no clue what to look for.

[opensuse] On resizeable file systems (was ... How to stop ....

On 10/27/2014 02:36 PM, Central Scrutinizer wrote: >> > > So now we're suposed to choose our filesystems on the basis of the init > system? You are not. I was proposing that if you wanted to dynamically resize a file system while the system is live and the file system in use then use one that had been designed for that. It has nothing to do with sysvinit or systemd. I was using ReiserFS and resizing the live file systems long before systemd was available. Ditto LVM. People here have been using other live resizeable file systems with sysvinit, some of those people have expressed a discontent with systemd, but that hasn't affected their choice of file system. The resizing of a live file system has nothing to do with the choice of init. Like ReiserFS, BtrrFs is a b-tree journalled file system and can manage online live resizing. You might also look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS#Online_resizing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NILFS#Supported_Features Live resizing of file systems existed and was practised long before the advent of Linux :-) If you take a look at the last column at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems#Features you'll see that with some qualification, even the extX file systems are live resizeable. RTFM RESIZE2FS(8) The qualification being <quote> If the filesystem is mounted, it can be used to expand the size of the mounted filesystem, assuming the kernel and the file system supports on-line resizing. </quote> YMMV. That's one reason I use ReiserFS. The other is never having to worry about the inode to data ratios. All these file systems existed before systemd. The ability to expand one of them has nothing to do with systemd. Having an system that automatically mounts according to a state definition table has nothing to do with systemd. If there is a 'bug" it is that people could arbitrarily alter the system configuration so that it was not in accord with what the system definition tables said it was. If, though human oversight (which is all to common and why we automate so much) they forgot to put it back, then things are screwed and there's no trail since they didn't update the configuration definition (or if you wish, description) tables.

Midnight commander also has problems: alt-enter to copy a file name to the command line, functions like F6 to rename a file... I also can not start a graphical app, like for instance, gkrellm, which I use in order to see on the client to check its current load status as I do things. Also the mouse does not work, like in the parent xterm with 'mc'. Are there workarounds? Other tools? My needs is simply to start a terminal session and do things that run in the server, watch them in the client, and that the session doesn't die when the client goes off.

[opensuse] System D: Debian Fork
by Sam M. 26 Oct '14

26 Oct '14

I came across this article below, and it looks like the System D implementation on Debian has caused a great deal of havoc and alienation amongst devs and admins, so a fork is potentially in the works. I was wondering if a similar interest is also present in the openSUSE community? Is openSUSE going to become one huge monolith where practically every package is dependent on each other, and, the user is forced into a corner? For instance, that atrocious Baloo virus that runs by default on a new KDE install will start indexing before you allowed it to, and can't be removed because it's dependent on so many things. Part of it can be removed (last I checked), but not the entire thing. If things are going to become one big monolith, which obviously is contrary to the Unix philosophy, why not just run Windows? It seems like more people than not don't like System D, and Lennart Poettering's attitude has been described as rude, egocentric and childish which doesn't help the case. PulseAudio was also developed by Pottering, and I don't like it at all as it's just one more broken piece of software on top of the already overly complex Linux sound stack. I've had problems with it, and it has provided me zero benefit. Anyway, I think the System D debate here should continue as not everybody here is swallowing the System D Kool-Aide. http://debianfork.org/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/10/21/unix_greybeards_threaten_debian_for… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
