[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).

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

[opensuse] I can not filter out some systemd messages in syslog

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?

[opensuse] DenyHosts daemon mode on openSUSE 11.3
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Hi, I am trying to run DenyHosts on OS 11.3. I can get it to sync and update the hosts.deny file, but with "rcdenyhosts status" it reports as being "unused" just after I started it with "rcdenyhosts start". 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. I've gone through the configs several times, no joy. Anyone got DenyHosts running properly? :-/ Dreiel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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"? How many more hours must I waste trying to get this to work properly??? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] running a program before shutdown
by Benjamin 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

Hi everyone! I do have a small problem: I want to run unison before i log out of kde, so that my files are synchronized automatically. I created a .desktop file and placed it in /.kde4/shutdown/. The .desktop file is specified by the command: unison myprofile -batch I tried it, but it seems, that this doesn´t work, because nothing was synchronized after login in again. Although in the systemsettings in the category autostart, my .desktop is listed and set to logout. Any suggestions. Best Benjamin! ps.: I already tried it with a shell-scrpit, which i also placed in the shutdown folder, but this also didn´t work…

[opensuse] XFS filesystem total failure on return from hibernation.
by Carlos E. R. 05 Oct '14

05 Oct '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, Since yesterday (after an update), I have experimented twice the same problem, on return from hibernation. XFS fails completely, lots of kernel messages. System has to be restarted, recovery is impossible otherwise. It seems to affect one partition only (?), the one that has my home, on xfs. I booted the 13.1 XFCE rescue image, tried to xfs-repair that one. It complained that there was a log, that I should attempt to mount it first. Mount hung. It is unkillable. Reboot of system hung. smartctl -a gives no hint of problem. The hard disk is new (190 hours). I run "xfs_repair -L" on that disk, which succeeds with no error report. I'm at the moment running the long SMART test on that disk. It will take 226 minutes. This is the first report of error in the log: I will put a more complete version of the log in another post. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Hi Does anyone know why i always get "curl" errors using "zypper" or Yast to refresh/ update the repos? Its random as to which repos fails. see example below I don't ever recall this happening prior to opensuse 12. I expect this email might get dumped by the checking system because i did a copy and paste from a CLI session regards Ian sudo zypper ref root's password: Download (curl) error for 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Current/openSUSE_13.1/repoda…': Error code: Connection failed Error message: Could not resolve host: download.opensuse.org Abort, retry, ignore?

[opensuse] SuSE 13.1: Evince: Top menus broken
by MarkusGMX 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

I have an obvious error in the menu of Evince: http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/evincebugqx3fjckpil.jpg Any pointers what that could be? Any changed icon directories in OpenSuSE 13.1 ? Mouse over of course works. On SuSE 12.1 evince was working without problems.

[opensuse] Firefox memory leak
by Jim Sabatke 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

For quite some time, and across a couple versions of OpenSuse (13.1 currently) I've had terrible problems with Firefox. It displays the usual memory leak problems that programs often show, getting slower and slower until it becomes unresponsive until I kill it and restart. Sometimes it happens within minutes of restarting, so I think it's related to whatever technology the web pages are using. I just did one of those FaceBook polls where you select radio buttons, and that one stopped Firefox dead in it's tracks. Over the past year, I've upgraded Firefox through official channels. Is there any recommendation for a version that works? Thanks, Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] When connecting to my own dovecot server, Alpine complains that it is using self-signed certificates.
by Carlos E. R. 02 Sep '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, When connecting to my own dovecot server, Alpine complains that it is using self-signed certificates. Yes, I know about the /novalidate-cert/ option in Alpine, but I have to type it on every single folder used anywhere: config, rules, etc. And I forget some. I wonder if I could configure somewhere that my self-signed certificate is correct, signed by me, that I'm a valid authority to sign certificates inside my network. My certificate is here: Telcontar:~ # mc /etc/ssl/certs/ Telcontar:/etc/ssl/certs # l | grep dove lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jun 17 00:37 895d2550.0 -> dovecot.pem lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jun 17 00:37 906230b5.0 -> dovecot.pem - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1058 Jun 15 2013 dovecot.pem and here: Telcontar:/etc/ssl/private # l total 12 drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Aug 13 19:33 ./ drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Aug 13 19:33 ../ - -rw------- 1 root root 916 Jun 15 2013 dovecot.pem Telcontar:/etc/ssl/private # Do I need something else? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse] Bashism - Seeking input on filenames that contain non-printing control characters (examples)
by David C. Rankin 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

All, An issue recently came up on StackOverflow.com regarding shell scripts related to the use of 'ls -opts' to populate a loop structure in a shell script. Suffice it to say *in sum*, it is good practice to avoid this use of ls and to search for an alternative solution to fit your needs. That being so, there are some cases where the loop needs data in a sort order fashion, easily provided by ls, but requiring tortured, piped multiple external calls otherwise. The tweenies (those that 'know not' and 'know not' that they 'know not') took the position that simply mentioning ls as a method to feed a loop automatically condemned you to roast in hell for eternity. (despite TLDP BASH HowTo being riddled with examples) Those that 'know', said wait a minute, it is a portability issue, and the problems protected against are just those instances where non-printing control characters are embedded in the filename, such as a newline, carriage-return or null-terminating character inside the filename itself. Taking the position that if you know the set of filenames at issue does not contain any embedded nonsense (like daily server logs, etc.), then there are no other hidden adverse effects from using ls in this capacity. Certainly you would not be condemned to hell or have your eyes plucked out by dragons if you did. So that brings up the question: "Just which files do have embedded control characters (intentionally, and not as the result of some horrible mistake)?" The only example I have uncovered thus far is the OSX 'icon' file that has a 'carriage-return' intentionally embedded as part of the filename. What others have you run across or can think of? I could think of no better or more experienced group to consult that the good old "brain-trust". So just how prevalent are these filenames with embedded control characters? -- David C.
