[Health] Gnuhealth on Opensuse 42.3

[Thilo Gesche]

Hello,

 

I am trying to install gnuhealth on Opensuse 42.3 (multilingual environement) so far without luck. Axel gave me some indications (thanks Axel for the quick reply) but since I mixed up the instructions I must have got lost somewhere on the way and don't know where to look at now. I am stuck at the point where the tryton client is running (with Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale.) but appearantly fails to fetch the database. Below you find some thoughts and suggestions I made during the install, hoping they may be helpful for other users. Any help for making the installation run would be highly appreciated.

 

Best regards

Thoughts and suggestions from an unexperienced user

 

I think it would be helpful to have a "... for dummies" approach in the "how to get it running" instructions. It's already kept simple and straightforward which is great but becomes quickly confusing as soon as things go wrong. Maybe a "what if things go wrong" section might be helpful? Otherwise maybe it should say it is only for qualified system administrators? 

 

The headline is ambigous

How to get it running (Without reading the instructions)

What it probably means:

Please read the whole document prior to installation. By following this walk through the gnuhealth instructions must not be read in order to avoid installation conflicts

 

What I and probably other inexperienced users thought it meant:

Don't bother reading through all the instructions (yeah), just go through the installation as descibed below until you get stuck and tell yourself you better start reading over all instructions and man pages (bummer). :-)

 

I think it would be better to use signs $ or > for local user and # for root user (because that is what the user sees on the screen in the opensuse command prompt terminal)

e.g.

address@hidden:/home> su

Password:

linux-ku22:/home # systemctl restart postgresql

 

Unless indicated otherwise the use of sudo should be preferred.

 

I suppose I ran into the authorisation issues mentions in: "2)

You need to log in as user postgres, in order to avoid authorisation issues." I think it would be helpful to name permissions and ownership of the changed files so the user may sort out the issues manually.

 

Here is part of my log output (for some reason the time stamp does not match the system clock)

Spelling mistakes and others:

 

Fron -> From

Note: Fron Tryton Release 4.2 ...

 

sill -> still

3) Create a role for 'tryton' in the database (sill as user postgres)

 

md5 -> peer

change the line

local all all md5
