[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.

Unable to change e-mail on buildservice - had to use portal?
by David C. Rankin 03 Apr '24

03 Apr '24

Per, all, Is there are reason we cannot update e-mail on buildservice? I tried, but ended up having to use the portal that had a very odd interface: https://idp-portal.suse.com/univention/self-service/#page=profiledata I recall that info being modifiable in buildservice before (or am I just senile?) It would have been set back in July 2008 according to keepassxc? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[oS-EN] AppStream
by Carlos E. R. 01 Apr '24

01 Apr '24

Hi, On the openSUSE package search page, https://search.opensuse.org/packages/ (which has no entry for Leap 15.5 yet) I get a button named [AppStream Install]. Clicking there nothing happens. The URL is: appstream://com.github.louis77.tuner Obviously, FF doesn't know what to do with that, and doesn't even say I don't know what this is. The wiki page on it: https://en.opensuse.org/AppStream Doesn't provide useful information, like how to install such a package on Leap or what to do with FF. I have done this on another computer, but I'm not on that location and don't have my notes on it. Google wants to teach me on how to create them, which is not what I want. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.5)

available micro packages list?
by bent fender 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

I want to try Leap or Tumbleweed MICRO but without every one of these packages it would not be timely yet. Is there a list of already available flatpacks? qjckctl qsynth rosegarden audacity kdenlive simplescreenrecorder vlc sonic-visualiser hydrogen ZAFS-dssi yoshimi Another question, since TW is NOT a stable system but MICRO is advertised as an extremenly stable one, how are we to think of TW-Micro?

Hi, I have an HP-Mini-311 32 bit laptop with openSUSE Tumbleweed installed. The machine has not been started for over a year. Today I started the machine. zypper --download-only Results in many many problems. hostnamectl The snapshot is :> 20220612 Can I get your insight on what you recommend in doing? The goal for me is to get the machine back up to date if possible. -Thanks

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" ?
