[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] 13.1 Bash HISTCONTROL=erasedups -- not working? confirm?
by David C. Rankin 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

All, A value of HISTCONTROL=erasedups causes all previous lines matching the current line to be removed from the history list before that line is saved. (man bash) This isn't working on 13.1 for me. Can anyone else confirm that duplicates are NOT removed in 13.1 when this value is set? Searching, it looks like other distros have patched bash to insure this works when multiple terminals are open. (e.g.: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/189881) If this is confirmed, could something similar be done here? The reason, after moving my history file from 11.4 to 13.1 and running for close to a year, I have close to 14,000 duplicate lines -- despite having 'erasedups' set: current lines: 20000 - uniq lines: 6099 = 13901 duplicates To fix the problem temporarily, I wrote the current file out, then sorted uniquely, then deleted the current history, read the sorted unique file in as current, and wrote the current back to HISTFILE: $ history -w | sort | uniq > uniqfile $ history -c $ history -r uniqfile $ history -w $ rm uniqfile That seems to have fixed the issue in the current session, and ~/.bash_history is current correct, but when closing the remaining sessions, I suspect the duplicates will once again be written to ~/.bash_history, even though 'erasedups' is set. If someone can confirm 13.1 is ignoring 'erasedups', I'll file the bug. -- David C.

[opensuse] Full disk encryption with RAID+LVM+LUKS on openSUSE 13.2?
by Bjoern Voigt 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

I already installed laptops with openSUSE 13.2 and full-disk encryption on one hard drive. I used an UEFI boot partition (/boot/efi) and the filesystems / and /home (plus swap) on an encrypted LVM. This works. But now I have a server with three hard disks. I want to setup the same full-disk encryption with YaST like on the laptops. On the server I want to use LVM over RAID-5 (mdadm). Is this possible? (with YaST, manually nor not possible) Is there any detailed documentation for this? (Until now I am able to setup RAID-5 with YaST. But I do not find the option to encrypt the LVM volume group. Without a LVM volume group I can not use "/" as a mount point for LVM logical volumes. Encryption for the RAID 5 device /dev/md0 works. But this kind of setup may cause problems if I want to extend the LVM volume group later with additional RAID devices.) I also have a problem with unlocking the LUKS encryption. Unlocking with password works. But unlocking with USB stick does not work unfortunately. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=915849 Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] On Mulitboot with UEFI

This http://www.zdnet.com/article/hands-on-linux-uefi-multi-boot-part-2/ may be if interest to those who are just venturing into this direction for the first time. The point of my mentioning ZDnet is that its not for the ultra-geeks but neither is it for the Joe Sixpack who just wants to write to twitter and facebook. It is, however, for the 'masses' and tries to make the point that you don't have to be the pencil-neck twerp of the movies to use Linux. This series started off by making the point that it was easier to install Linux than to deal with the mess of the recent Windows updates. While I haven't done a Windows install recently and "10" may be something quite different, I've done very complex Linux installs (LVM, various FS, restores...) with less hassle than some should-be-simple operations with Windows. And yes, installing updates among them. I have up trying to move a hard disk from a dying mobo to a new one, something that you 'just do it' with Linux. I've a much more detailed posting on 'installation' coming up. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

The issue I've had with thin snapshots is related to LVM metadata getting full and then the entire VG imploding spectacularly and none of the LV's in it working. I wasn't exactly trying to blow it up, but I was testing the thin_pool_autoextend_threshold before I realized the default was 100, meaning it's disabled. So it's user error, but could also arguably be a weird default that results in a distinctly non-graceful failure with no obvious way to repair the problem. Neither pvck nor vgck did anything, and I quickly gave up. But then also, vgmetadatacopies = 0 is also a default so maybe it couldn't do anything to fix it. Btrfs correctly gets some grief with its many repair options still not consolidated, but I haven't had it implode this spectacularly. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] smartctl: is this HD really OK?
by Felix Miata 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

I have a multiboot system that has long delays at selecting Grub menu items. The Linux-bzImage messages appear, and should be shortly followed by the initrd message, but that's where the delay occurs. It can be as long as 3 minutes. It only happens with some installations and not others, all of which are normally being started from the same Grub on sda3, but can be chainloaded to, which doesn't eliminate the delays. Even after redoing Grub setup for 13.2, chainloading to its Grub triggers a reboot. This HD spent a bit over 3 years in a STB, after which I replaced it, which I did because the STB was stalling inexplicably. After the replacement, I used the WD utility to evaluate the device. It found bad sectors, and claimed it corrected them, that the device passed. I umounted all partitions except / while booted to TW, and ran e2fsck -f on each installations /. All passed, except the last tried (Kubuntu), which resulted in "error reading block 34307 (attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while reading indirect blocks of inode 10863. Ignore error<y>?" This repeated for blocks 34308, 34309, 590029, 590030, 688204 and several more, followed by directory corruption for inodes 68166, 98879 & yada. Most of these partitions are ext4. 11.4, 12.1 & 12.2 are ext3. Since it "passed" it has spent at least 20 hours in a PC, after I cloned from its original HD to the "passed" HD and switched them. NAICT, smartctl thinks this HD is OK, but is it really? I can't think of any other explanation for boot delays like this except for trouble reading sectors containing kernels or initrds - installing a new kernel/initrd can switch an installation from suffering the delays to one not, and vice versa. I asked about this on the linux-ide mailing list 2 weeks ago, but got no feedback there: http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=142517892627960&w=2 The problem has me frustrated in that I cannot remember whether it started before or after the HD switch. If it started before, obviously trouble is not with the "passed" HD. This is a test system, so it doesn't really have anything "important" on it, other than the time invested to reconfigure on account of device IDs being different (e.g. /boot/grub/device.map). # smartctl -t long /dev/sda (more than 2 hours later) # smartctl -H /dev/sda smartctl 6.3 2015-02-08 r4039 [x86_64-linux-3.19.1-1-desktop] (SUSE RPM) Copyright (C) 2002-14, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED # smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda smartctl 6.3 2015-02-08 r4039 [x86_64-linux-3.19.1-1-desktop] (SUSE RPM) Copyright (C) 2002-14, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1 Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Extended offline Completed: read failure 90% 27071 252915937 # 2 Extended offline Completed: read failure 90% 27070 252915955 # 3 Conveyance offline Completed without error 00% 27051 - # 4 Extended offline Completed: read failure 90% 27046 460886821 # 5 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3 - # smartctl -A /dev/sda smartctl 6.3 2015-02-08 r4039 [x86_64-linux-3.19.1-1-desktop] (SUSE RPM) Copyright (C) 2002-14, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Attributes Data Structure revision number: 16 Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds: ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x002f 200 200 051 Pre-fail Always - 3210 3 Spin_Up_Time 0x0027 156 153 021 Pre-fail Always - 3191 4 Start_Stop_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 869 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 200 200 140 Pre-fail Always - 0 7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x002e 100 253 000 Old_age Always - 0 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 063 063 000 Old_age Always - 27074 10 Spin_Retry_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 11 Calibration_Retry_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 12 Power_Cycle_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 862 192 Power-Off_Retract_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 29 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 869 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 112 073 000 Old_age Always - 31 196 Reallocated_Event_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0032 195 173 000 Old_age Always - 306 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0030 100 253 000 Old_age Offline - 0 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 2 200 Multi_Zone_Error_Rate 0x0008 100 253 000 Old_age Offline - 0 smartctl -x data: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Hardware/Disk/smart-wdAVGP3200AVVS.txt -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse] tightvnc sluggish when typing
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

When I connect with TightVNC (tightvnc-1.3.10-10.8.1.i586 on openSUSE 12.3) to a Linux client, keyboard activity is sluggish. There can be delays of seconds when typing. And the Enter key sometimes needs to be pressed more than once. The remote systems are various openSUSE releases. The display is otherwise rather quick. It is only typing that seems to be effected. It seems that apps like konsole and xterm are most effected. LibreOffice seems to get the key presses as I type. The font size (and thus the amount of screen changed) is the same for all apps. I even made the konsole font bigger to see if that helped. Nope. So I am guessing it is more a keyboard forwarding issue than a screen update issue. A search revealed that this has been seen on the Windows client in the past. But I did not see a resolution or mention of this on Linux. Maybe I should use a better client? Local command: vncviewer -passwd /home/roger/.vncpasswd rst28:0 Remote command (via xinetd): /usr/bin/x11vnc -inetd -rfbauth /etc/vncpasswd -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -find -env FD_XDM=1 -shared -forever -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Grr - Need Help - Unstick FF36 New Bookmark Entry Dialog
by David C. Rankin 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

All, Just seeing if anyone has a solution. In FF36, when you go to bookmark a page (ctrl+d), the bookmark entry dialog is now STUCK over the page you are bookmarking and cannot be moved (no longer modeless). How in the heck do you move it so you can read/copy/paste from the page into the dialog so you can have sane bookmark names instead of whatever 256+ char default page title is? This is frustrating as heck. I try and keep my bookmarks logically named. I just tried to create a new bookmark to the UEFI link Anton posted, and I couldn't move the damn dialog so I could see the page to create a custom title for the bookmark. Has anyone found a way to get rid of this behavior and restore the previous dialog? I never had this problem in the past... -- David C.

[opensuse] What happened to openSUSE-SU-2014:1254-1
by Lew Wolfgang 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

Hi Folks, I'm having to maintain a 13.2 box with a requirement to run Nessus scans on it. Nessus is complaining about bash related CVE-2014-6271 and related issues. The fix is mentioned here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2014-09/msg00044.html but "zypper in -t patch openSUSE-2014-567" says "patch non-existent or not needed". Nessus identifies the installed bash as bash-4.2-75.3.1, but says it should be bash-4.2-75.4.1. This doesn't work either: zypper patch --cve=CVE-2014-6217 Is there something wrong with the repositories, or is Nessus barking up the wrong tree? This is on a fresh 13.2 x86-64 system.
