Yesterday I blogged about how to fix JIRA Permission Schemes of a corrupted JIRA database. The observation was from atlassian-jira.log, but in my case I soon found out the problem was much greater in my case. All projects lost their workflow scheme, issue type screen scheme, and field configuration scheme, and project category associations. This led me to peek into ...
I came across a corrupted JIRA database with all projects lost their permission schemes. From the database, I believe this happens when corresponding records were deleted from the NODEASSOCIATION table. Whatever the cause is, you’ll notice the following log entry in atlassian-jira.log when this happens: 2017-05-23 02:57:18,363 WARN [permission.DefaultPermissionSchemeManager]: No permission scheme is associated with project '' The problem is, ...
I am a motorcycle rider who encountered with a number motorcycle accidents and still in one piece. Being a high speed fanatic, I read more and more about motorcycle safety following each accident. I explored ways to avoid trouble without losing the thrill of speed. As motorcycle training in Sri Lanka doesn’t commence in a professional way, most of the ...
Once installed their app, Facebook thinks they own our mobile devices. At first, there was the peaceful all-purpose Facebook app. And some time later they separated messaging into another app, creating the Messenger. Initially it was at user’s discretion to use Messenger or Facebook app for messaging. Initially it looked polite but lately everyone was gradually forced to install Messenger. Another ...
Recently I encountered a little accident and thought I should keep this little note written somewhere. We, Sri Lankan are usually reluctant to go for medical advice when damage appears to be small. “Ah.. it’s nothing. It’ll heal.”, is it? We get most of our medical expenses covered by the government, and for these little things we are less likely ...
Recently I wrote about Mobitel LiveScreen because I was unhappy about the experience. As soon I published that on my Facebook page (850+ likes), it instantly took vast public attention. So far it reached 13,000+ people without targeted advertising. Given my page’s member base is small, the post made a significant reach. Unless advertised none of my other blog posts ...
Wunderlist again. Currently this is the only Microsoft thing that I use – apart of Windows servers involved in my DevOps job. Wunderlist hasn’t been treating nice for Ubuntu recently. So I thought about working on something that works for Ubuntu. Then here I got an idea of a very small app that will embed your day action items into ...
I have reasons to believe that it rather steals contacts from your phone rather than politely synchronizing them. Once you install Facebook, it forces you to install Messenger aside. If you don’t it will keep sending you new message notifications but not letting you read them. So you install Messenger. Next, when you set up Messenger, they show you some ...
[Experimental] If you are a JIRA system administrator, have you ever come across the requirement of partially exporting JIRA into XML – probably for importing individual projects into another JIRA instance? If yes, this might work for you. However, my work is incomplete and experimental. This worked with a small JIRA instance (100 issues), and failed with a huge JIRA ...
Wunderlist killed its app for Ubuntu long time back. And then it was bought by Microsoft, so I hardly think there will be a Linux app ever again. For a long time I didn’t use Wunderlist, but I thought of giving it a try once again. I figured out that pinning Wunderlist tab on Firefox works to some extent. Today ...
Post-upgrade first World problems are here. A friend who recently upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus LTS told me that Cisco AnyConnect VPN doesn’t work anymore. So I wanted to give it a try. In Ubuntu 14.04 what you’d normally do is installing the three packages network-manager-openconnect, network-manager-openconnect-gnome and openconnect (or may be two of them – can’t recall). However, ...
Truecrypt died two years back. Despite their warning I continued to use it for encrypting some of my data, because I believe Truecrypt was rather killed by a hidden hand – not actually because of any unfixable vulnerabilities. So, straight to the topic; a new Ubuntu LTS is here and everyone is upgrading. I wanted to install it from the ...
A new LTS is here and it’s the season for upgrades. I downloaded Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop 64-bit and wanted to give it a try. First thing I would normally do is installing it on a virtual machine. So I could install software, customize, shake it, break it and feel how it works. Next thing is preparing a startup USB stick ...
So, that happened and I had to spend a considerable amount of time choosing new passwords. I really didn’t write about how I manage my passwords. I thought about writing this tip because it’s a game of battle between convenience and confidentiality. People choose weak passwords because they are easy to remember. But easy to guess at the same time. ...
I screwed it up again. I logged into one of my e-mail accounts from a shared computer owned by someone else. This is something I never do (unless there’s a top urgency) because I fear keyloggers. So now, time has come to change the passwords. Next factor of two factor authentication will keep me protected, but still need to fix ...
Here’s a little post for JIRA Administrators. One of the major culprits, if JIRA runs slow, is the number of custom fields. What makes your JIRA to have so many custom fields? Because JIRA is customizable and so easy doing that, whenever a colleague of yours calls and say we want a new custom field, you go ahead and you ...
These days I’m working on a JIRA project which may require working with XML backups and project import tool. The JIRA instance I’m currently working on has over one million issues in thousands of projects (including defunct) – that collectively make the XML backup gigantic. Have you ever come across the situation where you want to delete some of the ...
One of the coolest JIRA add-ons you could find in the market is LucidChart. LucidChart is an easy-to-use diagramming software. However, once you start using it in your JIRA, it stores diagrams in it’s own way. Have you ever come across a requirement to find all issues in your JIRA instance that contains LucidChart diagrams? Well, I’m on JIRA 6.x ...
