[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).

[oS-en] I'm finally getting things done with LibreOffice Base
by Carlos E. R. 04 Nov '22

04 Nov '22

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 After several years, I'm finally progressing with LibreOffice Base. I have a catalogue of my books in MySQL, done with the application Rekall (KDE3). The app is not maintained, so I have been trying for years to migrate to something else, the obvious one LibreOffice Base. It is more difficult that Microsoft Base, which I learned to use without documentation in a month back in 1998. It appears that the trick is that to write to my table I have to use a form, not a table. See what I have (created by the wizard, then modified): <https://susepaste.org/56891822> Top is the table as is, and in the subform below are the controls. See the first row, with a "0_test" book selected. The same book is displayed below. The data Autor, SegundoAutor and TercerAutor display the numbers 1, 2, 3, corresponding to an auxiliary table of authors. The entries below in white background show the text, the names of the first author, second and third, selectable from the list. This has been the hurdle for years (true, I have not dedicated intense study to it). (In Rekall, or in Office, I get the name of the authors directly in the main table. It knows how to handle the relationship automatically, r/w. It was trivial). The simple detail that remains now is to join the label "Autor 1" to the control below, so that when I click there in design view both move as a single object. I have not seen this in the tutorial: Getting Started Guide 7.3 Chapter 8, Getting Started with Base Relational databases in LibreOffice <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/9/99/GS7308-GettingStartedWithBa…> This has been done automatically somehow by the wizard in all the controls it has created. But I do not know how to replicate, and it should be trivial. Somebody knows? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

01 Nov '22

I'm traveling to Vietnam next month and I'm looking for a Vietnamese virtual keyboard for my laptop. I can only find it online, I want a local VK. I don't want to configure the physical keyboard. I just want something for passwords and URLs. Anybody have a suggestion? I have Leap 15.4 and GNOME 41.2. Jon Cosby

xrdb and display:0
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Nov '22

01 Nov '22

I use x11vnc and a vnc client to connect to remote Linux desktops from other Linux computers. I have no problem connecting to display :0. As such, I can remotely access that desktop and help users with support and such. I would like Windows clients to be able to do the same. So I have installed Xrdp. And I can get a desktop from the Linux computer (Leap 15.3). There are two problems I do not seem to be able to solve: 1. I can only get icewm. I want KDE. I have tried editing /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh so that it should start plasma. But it does not work. 2. I cannot get it to share display:0. In fact, that's what I really want. It is running the desktop I am really after. I have tried things like making my own definition in Xrdp that should access display:0, based on various suggestions. No go. My question is: has anyone gotten either of these things to work? Or, should I install a Windows client and access x11vnc? I have been trying not to need to install software on the Windows clients if at all possible. But I can if Xrdp won't do as I would like. -- Roger Oberholtzer

You can either choose a direct mirror or given it a while and see if the issue is resolved. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
