[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.

No Login, no Graphics after update to Tumbleweed 20230211-0
by Peter Maffter 30 Mar '24

30 Mar '24

Hello, after the update the screen only shows a '-'. All the usual other tty screens that you get with e.g. STRG-ALT-F1 are also gone. I can connect to the PC via ssh from my Ubuntu Laptop and check what is going on. I am using an old GTX 570 on that PC. Previously when the G06 stuff was installed instead of updating the needed G04 stuff, I was able to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.157.run manually and the login and XFCE worked. But now even that fails. :-( Any pointers? Is that the beginning of the things that are named in Subject "Nvidia 390x driver users - glibc 2.37 will bring bad news" ? I do have strange output about signature and verification: 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628957+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.411047][ T527] nvidia: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel. 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628957+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.411690][ T527] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628958+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.412304][ T527] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628958+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.418769][ T527] nvidia: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628963+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.426827][ T538] tg3 0000:0d:00.0 eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM57781) rev 57785100] (PCI Express) MAC address 00:25:22:e6:5d:d3 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628964+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.427483][ T538] tg3 0000:0d:00.0 eth0: attached PHY is 57765 (10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet) (WireSpeed[1], EEE[1]) 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628964+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.428122][ T538] tg3 0000:0d:00.0 eth0: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] TSOcap[1] 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628965+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.428740][ T538] tg3 0000:0d:00.0 eth0: dma_rwctrl[00000001] dma_mask[64-bit] 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628965+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.482616][ T527] nvidia-nvlink: Nvlink Core is being initialized, major device number 241 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628966+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.488784][ T527] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: vgaarb: changed VGA decodes: olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=none:owns=io+mem 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628971+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.489637][ T527] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 390.157 Wed Oct 12 09:19:07 UTC 2022 (using threaded interrupts) 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628972+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.499362][ T527] nvidia-modeset: Loading NVIDIA Kernel Mode Setting Driver for UNIX platforms 390.157 Wed Oct 12 09:15:25 UTC 2022 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628972+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.505733][ T527] [drm] [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Loading driver 2023-02-13T00:08:13.628973+01:00 machine4 kernel: [ 3.506428][ T527] [drm] Initialized nvidia-drm 0.0.0 20160202 for 0000:01:00.0 on minor 1 Update openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230211-0 -> 20230212-0 did not help either.

[oS-EN] Question on full disk encription
by Carlos E. R. 02 Sep '23

02 Sep '23

Hi, new laptop here, and I decided to install Leap 15.4 with full disk encryption, no LVM (a feature I wanted to have for years, so I'm happy). It asks for the password twice (contrary to my customs, I'm using plymouth). It asks once before grub loads. Well, ok, there is no separate /boot, so it has to read "/" which is encrypted. Nice. But after selecting the boot entry in grub, it asks again. Once, despite being 3 partitions ("/", "/boot" and swap). Ok. Is there some way to make it ask only once? I guess not, but perhaps I'm wrong. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)

KDE keyboard layout not starting on login
by Stratos Zolotas 15 May '23

15 May '23

Hello, I have a strange issue that appears in two systems. One Tumbleweed and one 15.4. I use en and gr keyboard layouts configured from the KDE settings. Although the setting is valid and as soon as I apply it the keyboard layout indicator appears in the system tray, after reboot it disappears and I have to go and re-apply the settings (it is not deleted just not "executed") to make it visible and working again. I usually use keep last session on KDE but I also tried to start with a clean session or with a manual saved session. Nothing seems to affect the keyboard layout indicator, it is always disappearing after reboot. Both systems were working as expected before. The only difference is that the issue on 15.4 appeared just after dist-upgrading from 15.3. Any ideas on how to debug it? Regards Stratos

I have been in most of them. No, I have totally missed that. I thought you were talking about having to create initrds manually.

leap 15.5 install - keyboard question
by Per Jessen 31 Mar '23

31 Mar '23

I'm just starting a test installation, and I used X mode by mistake - the machine had a former life and X was enabled by default (.ssh/config). In the YaST GUI (which looks really good, btw), I change locale to UK English, then keyboard to US English. It's just our normal setting, muscle memory. While YaST was doing whatever, I switched to a libreoffice document and realised the keyboard had changed. Presumably to US English. I'll wait and see if it switches back, but is this change to be expected? When we do a "normal" install without X, changing the keyboard layout only takes effect for the system being installed. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.9°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

[oS-EN] Machine for disk encryption password happens too fast.
by Carlos E. R. 31 Mar '23

31 Mar '23

Hi, New machine (Lenovo L14 Gen3). Full disk encryption using discrete partitions with the same password ("/", "/home", swap). On boot, the Lenovo logo flashes instantly and the prompt for the disk encryption key pops fast. At this point, ctr-alt-del is ignored. There is no time nor message to press F1 for bios config or F12 for boot menu. I have to press and hold the power button for 4 seconds to power off, then power up again, and start pressing F1 or F12 fast, so that it is read. Slow pressing doesn't work. Press F1 and hold doesn't work. Question: Is it possible to insert a delay? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Telcontar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)

Some of them will, no doubt. Others might just say "rebuild your initrd".

[oS-EN] Questions on Gnome classic
by Carlos E. R. 30 Mar '23

30 Mar '23

Hi, I'm trying gnome classic - what I use normally is XFCE, so the normal gnome is way too different for my taste. The classic seems more comfortable to me. I expected after a reboot to get the same desktop, but no. I had to restart the terminal and gkrellm. When closing, I did not see a tick or something to save the session. Is it somewhere else? When I press [Alt][F2] to type a command, it doesn't autocomplete (XFCE does). Is it a setting somewhere? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)

The Register, Has done a test-drive of the 15.5 Beta and provided good ink regarding the experience. Though it hasn't fully kicked the tires, the install was "impeccable". Also noteworthy is the increasing traffic seen by SUSE/openSUSE as user apparently shy away from Ubuntu's "containerized" snappy offering (are you listening SUSE?)

System rollback
by Roger Oberholtzer 29 Mar '23

29 Mar '23

A colleague did a zypper dup of his Tumbleweed system a bit ago. Seems it borked his system. So he is using a read-only snapshot. I want to help him revert to the state before the backup. He has a standard Tumbleweed layout (initially installed in November, so surely using the current preferred layout). He has made no changes to the system since then. I have read the information related to this here: https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book-reference/c… Which is pretty good. Before I follow the advice contained there, I am just asking if this is what one should do: 1. Boot with a recent read-only snapshot. We are using the one just before the current non-functioning one. 2. Run: snapper rollback 3. Reboot into the default image That's it? If so, seems too easy. Which makes me suspicious... -- Roger Oberholtzer
