[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).

Yesterday, I finally got sound going on my Linux setup. I downloaded RealPlayer G2 and it worked beautifully. Today, RealPlayer run but no sound coming out. All other sound functions still work. I can still play my CD, have system sound BUT no sound when I run RealPlayer. /var/log/message said kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? but KDE sound still work. I have re-installed RealPlayer 3 times now, still no sound when I run the RealPlayer. Any help is appreciated.

Well, I did not know about it. It has a search of stations near me, but it distributes the 60 stations in 3 pages, which makes search by name impossible. And the station I want, a major national network, is not listed. And apparently, it doesn't have a button to search by text, just in case it is not considered to be near me. Clicking at random, the strange symbol at the top left is clickable and offers to do a search, and does find the network I want, but not the station in my region. I can not search inside the results, because it distributes them in 10 pages. Yes, the one I want is in the second page, I was lucky. Well, it works, once I know its quirks. I will have to try this page in the laptop, find out how much CPU it uses. [...] On my puny laptop, it uses 100% CPU on its two cores, using a new Firefox profile. I will have to kill adds and retry. [...] Add blockplus added. CPU load reduced to 50..60% on two cores. Well, that's the main reason I do not use the station own web browser site, either. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Now, all of a sudden and for no reason I can account for, VBox flatly refuses to run. I can't even start it to re-install guest(s).

gui program can't resolve hostname
by Istvan Gabor 07 Jan '23

07 Jan '23

Hello: I have an openSUSE Leap 15.1 system where the VoIP program IHU (I hear you) works.I also have another Leap 15.1 installation where the program doesn't work, it exits with error, it can't resolve any hostame. It can't resolve either localhost or any valid hostname in the network. It works if I use direct IP address. Command line tools ping and host can resolve hostnames. How could I trace what causes the error? It must be some difference in some configuration or the installed packages between the two 15.1 systems. The IHU program is:ihu-0.6.0-lp151.2.6.x86_64. I use networkmanager for networking.This is how the program runs:1. using IP address:> ihu --nogui --call 127.0.0.1Starting IHU without GUI...Press CTRL-C to terminateMon Dec 26 19:11:48 2022 - Contacting 127.0.0.1...Warning: Mon Dec 26 19:11:48 2022 - CALL to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)Mon Dec 26 19:11:48 2022 - Closing communication...Mon Dec 26 19:11:50 2022 - 127.0.0.1 rejected the call.Warning: Mon Dec 26 19:11:50 2022 - HANG UP with 127.0.0.1: 0 bytes received, 6 bytes sent2. using localhost> ihu --nogui --call localhostStarting IHU without GUI...Press CTRL-C to terminateError: can't resolve localhostABORTED.Error: can't resolve localhost> ping localhostPING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.042 ms64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.038 ms64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.051 ms64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.035 ms> host localhostlocalhost has address 127.0.0.1localhost has IPv6 address ::1localhost mail is handled by 1 localhost.Any suggestion would be appreciated.Thanks,Istvan

No directory ownership on CIFS mount
by gumb 02 Jan '23

02 Jan '23

I have some directories that seem to be missing ownership. The files within them are all attributed to an owner but some (not all) of the directories themselves have an 'empty' owner, at least when viewed within Dolphin file manager. I've already run this command, as root, from the top-level directory: > chown -R 4242:fbox_cifs media/ but this doesn't enforce user 4242 as the owner of all the directories, only the files within them. How can I correct this? I'll send more detail if necessary but maybe there's a simple solution without me having to post several more paragraphs. gumb

Good deal, That makes sense. The old "mysql" extension was deprecated long ago moving to "mysqli" and more predominantly "pdo_mysql" now. I am not familiar with "mysqlnd". All extensions provide the same functionality as far as providing access to your databases -- they just do it differently. I've used mysqli and pdo_mysql and between the two have found mysqli closer to the old mysql, but also found I prefer the pdo_mysql interface a bit more. It's dead-bang simple after you make friends with it. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
