[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).

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.

DDNS providers
by Roger Oberholtzer 13 Oct '22

13 Oct '22

I am looking at setting up a system that will need a domain name and DDNS. I'm curious what the current state of these things are in openSUSE. I guess the main thing is support for an application that informs the DDNS service of the current IP address for the machine. Any preferences? Providers to avoid? -- Roger Oberholtzer

FF 102 - Font Rendering Improved
by David C. Rankin 02 Oct '22

02 Oct '22

All, With FF 102, aside from Carlos's ulimit issue, font rendering seems much improved. However, the bookmark and menu entry height is still 2X too tall due to GTK bunglekit. Similar with TB 102, all seems good -- but I would still like to have a permanent Cc: in the new message window instead of the ellipsized list top-right. I guess they had to do that due to the 2X edit box height for To: and Subject: due to bunglekit+3 to save window real estate. Progress ? :( ? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[oS-en] printing from Mozilla apps
by Carlos E. R. 29 Sep '22

29 Sep '22

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, since a few months back, when printing from Thunderbird or Firefox, I get an internal printing dialog of Thunderbird or Firefox. But some setting is wrong that makes the printer pop its yellow light with a prompt for feeding A4 or press OK for use what is available (and the printer is loaded with A4). And the Mozilla dialog says the size is A4. This means that for every print I have to get up from my chair and go to the printer to press that key. An option at the end of the dialog says "print using the system dialog". If I use this, there is no error and the printer fires immediately. Possibly what is missing is the tray selector in the mozilla dialog. Ideas? I'm using Leap 15.3, XFCE, and the stock Thunderbird / Firefox. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

Your HVAC system is made up of various components that work together to make it function. One defective part can cause your entire system to fail, from the air handler to the evaporator coil. A part of your HVAC system responsible for regulating the temperature of your air is the evaporator coil. https://ductscleaning.com.au/service/evaporator-coil-cleaning-service/
