Kernel updates 6.8.5 and 6.8.6 fail to decrypt root with systemd-boot
by Daniel Mader 21 Apr '24

21 Apr '24

Hi everyone, I'm using Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma 6 and full disk encryption with systemd-boot instead of Grub. This worked nicely until the last two kernel updates. Now, there is no password prompt during prompt for disk decryption with 6.8.5-1-default and 6.8.6-1-default. It still works with the older 6.8.4-rc1-default and previous, which are still available in the boot menu along with the btrfs snapshots (but it is not necessary to boot from am older snapshot). In general, I much like the systemd-boot approach for the single password prompt. With Grub, I need to enter the password twice. The boot messages are cluttered and messy, though, but I think this will improve over time. Any help or hint is appreciated. Thanks Daniel

Tumbleweed : Cannot find ksysguard anymore - is it gone? Libraries are all available and installed though.
by Stakanov 19 Apr '24

19 Apr '24

I have to setup a bug report and have to list multiple instances of kontakt opening for a specific user. Normally this was done comfortably with kysguard. But the fact is, although the libraries are installed, the program itself seems gone from the repos (or(!) the program is not functional, which then would grant a bug report). Is anybody able to start it in Tumbleweed?

dolphin and dicom files on nfs mounts
by mh＠mike.franken.de 16 Apr '24

16 Apr '24

Hi *, using dolphin I'd like to open dicom files from a locally mounted nfs share, but instead of opening the appropriate app (i.e. xmedcon), dolphin presents the "Choose Application" dialog. When opening the properties dialog of such a dicom file, it shows an unknown type, but dicom image as "content". Trying the same on a local filesystem, xmedcon is started directly, and the properties dialog shows DICOM image as "type" and "open with" xmedcon. With thunar for example the behaviour is the same for local or nfs filesystems. In both cases xmedcon is started on double clicking such a file. Any idea, what configuration for dolphin/plasma I am missing here? System is Tumbleweed with the latest snapshot. TIA. Bye. Michael.

[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).

SOT: Thunderbird and AOL
by Jeffrey Taylor 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

My wife uses Thunderbird on Windows 11 for her e-mail. She uses the free AOL mail. For decades. Today, it stopped allowing outgoing mail. She called AOL help line. Some one using a script who didn't really understand whats going on. After she exhausted her script she started a hard sell for a paid plan. It appears to be only $4.99 a month. I'm unclear if subscribing, 3rd party e-mail clients are supported. The $4.99 paid plan, 2-step verification with a 6 digit code in a text message, or an app password. Does anyone have experience with any of these? TIA, Jeffrey
