GNUmed server packages available

en_US
Yesterday I had a nice surprise in my email inbox. Paul Grinberg from PCLinuxOS contacted us with a the announcement that he had built a server rpm which provides a painless setup of the GNUmed server backend. Imagine my surprise when a few tweaks to the spec file were enough to make this work on openSUSE.

Wow. We now have the full end to end solution available for users. All it takes is:

'zypper install gnumed-client gnumed-server'

Gestern erreichte mich eine E-Mail von Paul Grinberg von PCLinuxOS. Er hat für GNUmed ein RPM-Paket gebaut. Das Paket installiert Abhängikeiten wie PostgreSQL und erstellt dann eine aktuelle Datenbank auf dem eigenen PC. Zu meiner großen Überaschung bedurft es nur einer kleinen Änderung damit das Paket für openSUSE eingesetzt werden kann.

Wow. Jetzt haben wir eine Komplettlösung und es ist so einfach wie:

'zypper install gnumed-client gnumed-server'

GNUmed 0.2.8.2

en_US
GNUmed 0.2.8.2 has been released. This is mostly a bugfixing release. Quite a bit of testing on MS Windows and MacOSX has been going on. All fixes went into the future 0.2.9 branch as well.

N810 is finally here

The Nokia N810 has finally arrived and I am looking into ways to get GNUmed running on it. GNUmed fails to compile for ARM because of python-uno but everything else works. The browser is great and it has GPS. Looks like a tool for house calls.

GNUmed on Ubuntu (1)

en_US
Ubuntu Gutsy carries GNUmed client 0.2.6.3 and it is incompatible with its psycopg2. There is a fix for that.
Add the following line to your sources.lst :

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates universe

This will add another archive which contains a fixed (but outdated) version. The new version Hardy ships 0.2.8.2

de_DE
Ubuntu bringt die GNUmed-Version 0.2.6.3 mit. Die ist alledings inkompatibel mit psycopg2. Um an eine reparierte (aber veraltete) Version zu kommen muss folgendes zur sources.lst Datei hinzugefügt werden:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates universe

Die neue Ubuntuversion (Hardy) bringt GNUmed 0.2.8.2 mit.

GNUmed - non German MS Windows

Looks like non German versions of MS Windows install GNUmed into the folder C:\Program Files\GNUmed-client. The start menu entry then fails to start GNUmed because of a whitespace in the application path.

This can easily be fixed by quoting the path. Navigate to the start menu entry for GNUmed as you would left-click it to start it. Now right-click on it and choose 'Properties'. Insert two pairs of double quotation marks like in this example.

"C:\Program Files\GNUmed-client\bin\gnumed.pyw" --conf-file="C:\Program Files\GNUmed-client\gnumed.conf"

This will be fixed in the installer for the next bugfix release.

GNUmed - bug reports

It is nice to see that since the inception of GNUmed semi-automatic bug reporting tool we get quite some feedback. Having the option to send the report via email including the logfile (very important) has generated just do much more helpful information. We have received bug reports for MacOSX and MS Windows but not so many for GNU/Linux. I assume this is due to Linux being the primary development platform.

I wish there was a way to relay the bugs to the bugtracker so they get stored there for reference.

GNUmed - FOSS EHR Comparision and Unification

Fred Trotter and I had a short communication on what is involved to bundle resources among FOSS EMR projects. Well he came up with the plan to take a look at the feature sets of a few FOSS EMR applications. The goal could be to identify missing features and either unify applications or at least share some data.

A Google Spreadsheet has been created for that purpose.
