[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).

02 Jun '22

Hi list, is anyone else having issues with the latest zoom (5.10.0-2450) on Tumbleweed? It keeps crashing on me, directly at start, even the crash report form doesn't stay on screen, but vanishes before I can type in anything.

"This video cannot be played"

27 May '22

I have received a number of messages from various sources with a video attached, but across the face of what must be the first screen, is the message, "This video cannot be played." I'm curious--what kind of video is being sent that cannot be player, and why? --doug

[opensuse] Memtest & UEFI
by James Knott 26 May '22

In openSUSE 15.1, memtest, as installed, would not work with UEFI. Has this been fixed in 15.2? There is a version on the memtest website that will work with it. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Upgrade of 15.3 to 15.4 (beta? rc?) went fine
by cagsm 21 May '22

21 May '22

Users, upgrading online some 15.3 to 15.4 just today (beta? rc?) via zypper and golbal parameter --releasever=15.4 went fine over here with a rather simple test system. Too bad 15.4 is very conservative and old in various software versions and so on. Is a tumbleweed more suited when not wanting to risk stability and not opting in for data loss? ty

by Ariez Vachha - openSUSE 17 May '22

17 May '22

TW fish filesystem bug in dolphin. Dolphin tries to open directories such as conf.d as a regular file when clicked on. Navigating via the address bar works fine. The underlying sshfs fused filesystem is working fine i.e. F4 open terminal in Dolphin and changing directory works fine. How to reproduce: 1. Open fish://server.com/some-dir/ 2. Open directory with .d extension by clicking Expected result; directory opens in dolphin Observed result; dolphin tries to open the directory as a regular file. Regards, Ariez ajv(a)opensuse.org

Perl modules install with RPM versus CPAN
by Bill Merriam 12 May '22

12 May '22

When something I am installing requires a list of perl modules I have to figure out how to install them. I first have to search the rpm repositories for the module. If the module is available in rpm repositories I can use zypper to install it. Other times I have to use CPAN to install it. Does anyone know of a script that will install a list of modules by searching for it and installing from the necessary location? Bill

External USB disks not recognized - Leap 15.3
by Per Inge Oestmoen 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Hello. I use openSUSE Leap 15.3. Trouble is, when I attach USB sticks from 16-128 GB there are no problems. They are mounted and read immediately upon being attached. When I attach large external USB disks, there is a different story. The disks most often do not show up. Sometimes they do, but most times I must read the disks (formatted with EXT4, FAT32 and EXFAT) on a Mac laptop in order to access them. Which, admittedly, makes me ashamed. The question is why this happens. To elucidate the problem, I have typed fdisk -l and dmesg, and the results are in the links below. I shall be extremely thankful if you can have a look at these outputs and see if you can spot the source of my problem. If these files do not provide a clue, please tell me what commands I should try next. In both cases, an external disk was attached. However, the system failed to see it. The fdisk -l output: http://www.coldsiberia.net/technics/fdisk_l_21042022.txt The dmesg output: http://www.coldsiberia.net/technics/dmesg_21042022.txt Sincerely, Per Inge Oestmoen, Norway
