[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).

[opensuse] Bug in usb drivers? "Not enough bandwidth for new device state"
by Markus Egg 28 Feb '22

28 Feb '22

SuSE Tumbleweed with newest updates and upgrades. 5.7.1-1-default #1 SMP Wed Jun 10 11:53:46 UTC 2020 (6a549f6) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Just recently started to give error messages when plugging in e.g. USB Headsets, Arduino Uno into some Exsys USB 3.0 hub. This was working fine in Tumbleweed before and in e.g. SuSE 13.1. The error message is e.g.: [...]usb 2-1.4.3: new full-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd [...]usb 2-1.4.3: New USB device found, idVendor=2341, idProduct=0043, bcdDevice= 0.01 [...]usb 2-1.4.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=220 [...]usb 2-1.4.3: Manufacturer: Arduino (www.arduino.cc) ...serialnumber... [...]kernel: usb 2-1.4.3: Not enough bandwidth for new device state. [...]kernel: usb 2-1.4.3: can't set config #1, error -28 This error message started on Jun 04, after making an update (zypper up) on June 3rd. A USB3.0 stick is working on the Exsys Hub. The Arduino is working on some other USB 3.0 Port of another hub. Regression? Any hints how to get this away?

[opensuse] Kernel compilation the openSUSE way?
by Bjoern Voigt 28 Nov '21

28 Nov '21

I usually take the newest openSUSE kernel (from repository Kernel_stable). But since some month I have a DVB T2 HD card, which requires a patch (see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194171). So I need to compile kernels myself. I have a working compilation path. But the current path has 12 steps! It takes some time. I wonder, why it is so complicated to configure, compile and install a Kernel under openSUSE. Is there a better/easier/automated way to configure, compile and install a Kernel under openSUSE? I know this blog article. But the article uses Vanilla kernels and also needs 6 steps. With additional patches (4 steps), third-party modules (2 steps) and cleanup (1 step) the article would also need 13 steps: Compiling the Linux Kernel, the SUSE way https://www.suse.com/communities/blog/compiling-de-linux-kernel-suse-way/ This is my Kernel configuration, compilation and installation path: 1. Update kernel-source and kernel-default from Kernel_stable repository 2. Save kernel-source: cp -a /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-... /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my 3. Apply my patches cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my patch -b -p1 < ~myuser/.../my-kernel-patch.patch 4. Copy standard configuration: cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my cp -v /boot/config-4.11.4-1.gcba98ee-default .config 5. Edit .config: remove CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, CONFIG_EXPERT remove some hardware-dependent settings 6. edit configuration interactively: Disable CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, because otherwise "make binrpm-pkg" creates huge kernel binaries. make oldconfig [...] Local version - append to kernel release (LOCALVERSION) [] (NEW) -my1 * * Configure standard kernel features (expert users) * Configure standard kernel features (expert users) (EXPERT) [N/y/?] (NEW) Kernel debugging (DEBUG_KERNEL) [N/y/?] (NEW) make menuconfig Do some additional configuration. 7. Compile kernel (-j4 for four processor cores, ionice and nice to reduce the load, binrpm-pkg for RPM without source-RPM) make clean nice ionice -c idle make -j4 binrpm-pkg 8. Install the kernel RPM package rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/kernel-4.x.y_my1-....x86_64.rpm 9. Install necessary symbolic links for "dkms" cd /lib/modules/4.x.y-my1 ln -sv /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my source ln -sv /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my build 10. Update third-party modules (e.g. Nvidia driver): dkms install -m nvidia -v 375.66 -k 4.x.y-my1 11. Cleanup cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my make clean 12. Select Grub configuration and reboot grub2-once --list | less grub2-once 2 reboot Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Raid, Raid6, what file system for good fault tolerance?
by cagsm 21 Dec '20

21 Dec '20

Hi list, speaking about software raid, not hardware controller based. I am trying to go for some local OpenSuse machine and adding some storage to it. Was considering Raid6, and now reading about a bit and people left and right scaremongering about the larger the disks these days in the double digit terabyte capacities even, the more likely it is that during a reconstruction of a raid subsequent errors would occur. I would absolutely like to keep my data consistent, and I am not thinking about double digit terabytes either, would stick to 2TB or 4TB disks, with Raid6 thats at least 4 physical drives. Now I am wondering if it possible to use a good robust file system that can add some more parity or check blocks or redundancy on top of the hardware disks, to absolutely be able to always read my data. I can't add multiple machines or like those high availability stuff like clusters and what not I read about DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device), or maybe I am just too scared by those technical terms or consider myself to be just a simpleton and wanting to keep it rather simple. My use case here is also not constant availablity, when a disk needs to be replaced, so be it, but I don't want to lose my data that I can not ever read certain parts of it again or such stuff. The thing that came to my mind was, if there is some file systems that would add redundancy and robustness onto the mdraid system of the linux kernel? Anyone with some useful insights? Roughly speaking, I was considering some simple pcie esata interfaced controller card and an external case enclosure with esata port and portmulitplier stuff inside, that can present at least 4 physical disks as JBOD, just a bunch of disks, so that the Linux can seem them all separately. Speed and rebuild times are not my concern, but data persistence and data integrity. Not even number of physical disks, I could live with even one of those 8 bay device enclosures and cases that are out there on the market. Thanks for any help and hints. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to turn OFF new html-ized directory listings at http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/leap/
by David C. Rankin 08 Aug '20

All, Just going through source listings at http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/leap/ there is some kind of new "Pretty Print" html-ized format being used that underlines the entire row containing the srpm instead of the normal raw directory listing that only underlines the package. This (1) doubles the height of the listing you have to scroll and (2) makes scanning the listing awkward. Is there some way, or switch, that will revert to the simple listing? -- David C.

[opensuse] gcc 8 on Tumbleweed
by Roger Oberholtzer 06 Aug '20

06 Aug '20

I am using the NVIDIA NVCC GPU /CUDA compiler on Tumbleweed. The package I am building (darknet) seems to work best with NVCC 10.2. So I have been using that on Tumbleweed. I am setting up a new Tumbleweed system, and I see that gcc-8 (64-bit) is no longer available. I see gcc-7 and gcc-9. But no gcc-8. If it has been removed, is it perhaps still possible to find it for Tumbleweed? I did a search on openSUSE downloads, and it only had some Debian release. Nothing for openSUSE. I tried other GCC releases witn NVCC, but it complains that they are unsupported versions. It wants gcc-8. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Portkocking problem
by Marc Chamberlin 06 Aug '20

06 Aug '20

Hello - I am experiencing a problem with port knocking and am in need of some guidance from someone with a deeper understanding of the Linux/OpenSuSE architecture than I have. I have a computer with 2 NIC cards defined as eth0 and eth1. I am running 2 knockd daemons using nearly identical configuration files that define the knock sequences needed to open a port. The IP addresses for each card are on the same internal private subnet and assigned by a DHCPD server. When I send a knock sequence from my laptop to this system on it's eth0 interface all works fine. But when I send the same knock sequence to the eth1 interface it generally fails, although every once in awhile, as I am trying to figure out what is going on, it will work one time and then again fails on subsequent tests. I don't know what I am doing that causes these occasional successes. I have tried bringing down and back up the eth1 interface with ifup and ifdown, and tried restarting the firewalld, network, and knockd services. I have also tried putting both interfaces on the same (INTERNAL) zone (not what I really want to do, but this eliminates the possibility that placing each interface in separate zones could be causing problems.) I fired up wireshark on my target computer to monitor the eth1 interface (and the eth0 interface to see if there were any differences that might give me a clue) and wireshark does indeed show the arrival of the knock packets coming from my laptop, on both interfaces. So I know that I am sending the knocks OK and that they are indeed arriving on the appropriate interfaces. So I next inserted the following rule into the head of the INPUT chain of the iptables to monitor what it is seeing - *iptables -w -I INPUT 1 -s 192.168.10.10 -j LOG; tail -n-0 -f /var/log/messages|stdbuf -o0 grep 192.168.10.10* (192.168.10.10 is the IP address of my laptop) and while this does show the knocks coming in on eth0, it fails to show any knocks coming in on eth1 (except occasionally as I mentioned above). Does this command look correct? In particular I am not really sure where the LOG chain will send its output, I am guessing it is to the messages log file. (I have turned back on logging to the messages log file since I prefer using text files rather than the journal log which I find is too difficult to work with) I imagine that wireshark is directly monitoring eth1 by making low level calls to the eth1 driver and I would have expected iptables to be doing the same, but apparently not. So what lies between the low level driver for eth1 that wireshark is apparently using, and the beginning of the iptables chain that is blocking these port knock packets from reaching the iptables chains? Anyone with ideas? As always much appreciated and thanks in advance for taking the time to help me out!

[opensuse] Hot-swapable SCSI disks
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Aug '20

01 Aug '20

We are using a SuperMicro computer that has 24 removable hot-swappable disks. During use, disks will independently be swapped in and out. For this to work, we need to know which physical slot a disk gets inserted into. There are many many disks, so tracking a disk id of the disk itself is not really feasible. And the disks are a mix of ext4 and ntfs. We have done this before with SuperMicro computers that had, say, 4 such drive bays. We have udev rules that track activity on adds to the block subsystem The detection and all works fine. The problem we have is that detecting which physical slot the disk has been inserted into is not consistent. We use the /dev/disk/by-path entries for this. As we have done in the past. This hardware information must, I guess, be assigned by the SuperMicro BIOS (or the modern equivalent) each time a disk is inserted. It really looks like the hardware info changes. There are 24 hardware values that seem to be used (this is consistent), but the physical slot to which they refer seems somewhat random. Does it make sense to expect the hardware information in /dev/disk/by-path to consistently refer to the same physical SCSI interface? I know that at the end of the day it all comes down to what the BIOS tells when a disk is added. But I want to make sure that I am not doing something silly in the Linux part of this. Like I should be looking elsewhere, or running some obscure command to get this consistent hardware address. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kernel-default-5.3.18-lp152.33.1.x86_64 crashes
by Markus Kolb 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

Hi, the July patches in kernel-default-5.3.18-lp152.33.1.x86_64 has here introduced a problem with hard lockups. No logging about the problem. Does anyone see the same crashing with the new kernel package? kernel-default-5.3.18-lp152.26.2.x86_64 works. Thanks Markus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Boot problems after Leap 15.2 upgrade on libvirt host
by Radosław Wyrzykowski 29 Jul '20

29 Jul '20

Hello, Yesterday, having successfully updated two VMs I run services on to Leap 15.2 in the weeks before, I figured upgrading the host they run on shouldn't be a problem. So, I replaced 15.1 with releasever in my repo addresses, ran zypper --releasever=15.2 ref and then zypper --releasever=15.2 dup and kexec'ed as usual... And the server didn't come up. And when I plugged a monitor in, I was greeted with a GRUB rescue prompt. It said it can't load normal.mod from / @/.snapshots/{default subvolume snapshot number}/snapshot/boot/grub2/i386-pc. Well, we know that grub resides on a separate subvolume in OpenSUSE's default btrfs layout, and lo and behold, it was there and pointing GRUB to the proper place was enough to get a normal shell. From there tried sourcing the config file which failed because it couldn't find the font, apparently. So I booted from a pendrive, checked everything looks alright, looked up the correct commandline and manually pointed it to the kernel and initrd. I thought: okay, that can be figured out soon enough, I'll ask about it later. Everything seemed fine, neither the RAID controller (some LSI MegaRAID that doesn't even support JBOD) nor btrfs reported any errors. But then, docker in both VMs failed to start, throwing up errors that, after some internet searching, were attributed to heavy IO loads (something about failed atomic operations). And when I manually stopped and started docker, it turned out docker.sock had magically spawned as a folder and I had to delete it before it could start, too. I tried rebooting everything (guests are shut down and started up again by libvirt-guests) to no avail. Everything went down identically. I tried force reinstalling grub2-i386-pc and grub2-branding-openSUSE. I've looked all over the journal in search of anything that would point me to some indication of where the problem is and found nothing. Potentially important info: - Both the host and VMs use btrfs on GPT on BIOS (no EFI in the picture) - Each of them has several GBs of unallocated space - The storage is a MegaRAID RAID 10 array - I've been using the hardware without any problems with 15.0 and 15.1 - The VMs are configured with qcow2 images via VirtIO SCSI with discard configured (otherwise the host file system gets clogged up with unused allocations - not too much disk space here) - I haven't had any problems prior to upgrading the host to 15.2 - the VMs have been running 15.2 without any difficulty for the last week or two. I've even installed some updates since upgrading them (I know, I know, not the most efficient way of doing things. It's served me reasonably well for the last 1,5 years) What more can I do to diagnose the problems? What could be the reasons? AFAIK, all the hardware is still going strong and, once all the dancing around with grub, rmdir and systemctl is done with, everything runs as it should. (Maybe a little slower? I might be imagining it or it could be unprimed disk caches) I think that later today, I'll revert to the snapshot from before the upgrade and see if that helps for the time being.

[opensuse] Discord on Linux?? (not the nicest player from a privacy standpoint)
by David C. Rankin 29 Jul '20

29 Jul '20

On factory, I read the message about onboard tutorials being given via Discord on Linux. [opensuse-factory] next openQA tutorial/onboarding livestream on Wednesday July 29th 11 AM UTC I've heard my kids talk about it, but never tried it myself. I guess it is just a glorified IRC type chat app. I was even more surprised to find it is the main/update repos?? Okay. Well, I installed it, updated it, and it looks pretty much like it does on windows, and with any net "aware" app, I then set about picking through the settings to determine what avenues it provides for data to be lifted from my computer without my consent -- and shocked I was. Anyone installing will need to take a detailed walk through the Privacy settings and I would avoid testing the webcam. There are numerous setting your a opted-in to by default where you will be sending all kinds of data back to discord to "help make it better..." It also decides by default it will start every time you start your computer and will minimize to the system tray instead of exiting when you use the close-window control. (you may want to change both) All and all -- it looks like the same thing I've seen on the kids machine, and one of these days I'll figure out what it does. I was happy to learn how to use 'alien -r -c yourfile.deb' to turn a .deb file into an .rpm that can be installed to update it... So it was a worthwhile foray :) -- David C.

[opensuse] resolv.conf and VPNs
by Michael Fischer 29 Jul '20

29 Jul '20

For $WORK, I have to use a vpn which writes its own version of /etc/resolv.conf, but as of 2 days ago, I'm on 15.2, which has the whole /var/run/netconfig/resolv.conf thing going on. I'm noticing VERY frequent DNS failures in web browser contexts. I wonder if the browsers are flapping back and forth between what the vpn put in /etc/resolv.conf and what is in /var/run/netconfig/resolv.conf. dig(1) seems to consistently use what is in /etc/resolv.conf, so that isn't helping me debug... Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks.

Element is the only client mentioned at the official opensuse link, and when I opened the page at another computer it said the only system supported was IOS. "IOS & ". Ie, nothing after the "&". Now I see Android after the "&", on the line beneath it. Not very clear to read. No Linux client supported (nor Windows). Very strange. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] What are we doing for Tbird 78 - No Enigmail support?
by David C. Rankin 28 Jul '20

28 Jul '20

All, There was a warning that appeared in Thunderbird 68 explaining that Enigmail will not work in Thunderbird 78, but that gpg would take its place. However, there seem to be issues with the gpg implementation. I rely on enigmail religiously -- what are we doing to address this? a. stick with 68 as long as possible? b. patch/fix enigmail or gqg so one or the other works as enigmail does now? -- David C.

[opensuse] Lost disk space and strange dir ownership
by Michael Fischer 28 Jul '20

28 Jul '20

On a laptop with Leap 15.0, # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 3.9G 18M 3.9G 1% /run tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sda6 40G 37G 361M 100% / /dev/sda2 296M 46M 251M 16% /boot/efi /dev/sda7 449G 95G 332G 23% /home tmpfs 786M 4.0K 786M 1% /run/user/464 tmpfs 786M 0 786M 0% /run/user/0 tmpfs 786M 0 786M 0% /run/user/1000 Note particularly the /dev/sda6 40G 37G 361M 100% / Walking through everything in / with `du -sh` shows FAR less than 37G. (like, about 5G at most) `lsof | grep deleted` showed a handful of files owned by nscd. Stopping nscd.service showed those files gone from the `lsof` output, but no improvement in the usage reported by `df -h`. While google was busy telling me not much more useful that the above, I spotted the tmpfs 786M 4.0K 786M 1% /run/user/464 Which does not show up on the Desktop+Leap15.2 I'm currently writing this on. (and into which I logged on by going through lightdm; lightdm is def. running) Further, # ls -al /run/user/464/ ls: cannot access '/run/user/464/gvfs': Permission denied total 0 drwx------ 3 lightdm lightdm 60 Jul 27 13:29 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 100 Jul 27 13:21 .. d????????? ? ? ? ? ? gvfs What is up with that gfvs dir? (yes, there was other stuff in there before, I tried deleting it all but that thing just won't move). chmod(1), chown(1) just get 'permission denied' on that thing. Suggestions on any of the above puzzles? Thank you.
