GNUmed Live CD howto

Trying the Live CD and experiecing GNUmed should be hassle free. Fortunately it is. Independent of what you run on your PC you can run the Live CD without leaving your working environment. Be it any Linux variant, MS Windows or Mac OS X.

I ... [More] have had success with the free (GPLed) virtualization package by Sun called VirtualBox.

1.) Install Virtualbox on your PC
2.) Create a new guest e.g. Linux/Debian
3.) Connect the Live-CD download (binary.iso) file as a CD-ROM drive for that guest.

4.) Run it and experience GNUmed. [Less]

Wiki updated to TWiki 4.2.4

For security reasons I have update our Wiki to the latest release.

To the user this should pose no problems. As a plus a new WYSIWYG editor is
now installed to make contributions even easier.

Please take a look at wiki.gnumed.de

GNUmed Live CD updated

A new GNUmed live CD is out. With the help of this CD one can testdrive GNUmed without altering the currently running environment such as operating system. No installation neccessary.

Just download the CD image and either burn it to a CD or ... [More] set up VirtualBox, Vmware/Vmplayer, QEmu or the likes to accept the CD image as a virtual CD drive.

Just boot the CD in your physical or virtual PC/Mac and testdrive GNUmed.

GNUmed client 0.3.8 is included and configured to connect to either the public GNUmed server via the internet or connect to a GNUmed server included with the CD. No setup needed.

Have fun and please let us know how it works for you. [Less]

GNUmed 0.3.5

Hello all,

this release again fixes a small bug just found:

0.3.4 -> 0.3.5

FIX: reversed logic when detecting new versions
FIX: further SQL improvements to language setting issue

The first item fixes detection ... [More] of new versions over the web.
The second item further improves the SQL function which is
used to detect the database language setting to make it more
proof against future changes.

Again, the SQL fix should be applied manually to existing
databases:

- go to server/sql/v8-v9/fixups/
- remove "--" in front of "set default_transaction_read_only ..." in v9-i18n-dynamic.sql
- run psql -d gnumed_v9 -U gm-dbo -f v9-i18n-dynamic.sql

Newly bootstrapped databases will have it right away.

GNUmed on the go (beta) - Introducing portable PostgreSQL

Hi all,

To follow up on my announcement there is now USBPg v9 available. What is USBPg ?

USBPg v9 is a relocatable PostgreSQL installation for MS Windows with the v9 GNUmed database included. This effectively means that you can now ... [More] run GNUmed without any installation whatsoever from whatever directory you want. To go even further it now possible (TM) to run GNUmed client (0.3.2) and server (v9) from a USB drive.

1.) Download USBPG_v9.zip.
2.) Extract it to any directory on your USB drive e.g. F:\USBPG_v9
3.) Run PortableGISMenu.exe

A small taskbar icon will appear and give you a menu.

4.) Select 'Start Postgresql', 'Stop Postgresql' or 'PgAdmin3'

You can now run GNUmed portable client or the locally installed client.

HINT1: The postgresql database server is configured to accept connections on localhost only but anyone on localhost - change accordingly in the postgresl configurations files if you dislike that.

HINT2: the portable Postgresql starts on port 5432 just as a locally installed client would - either change the port in the postgresql configuration file (but remember to change the port for the gnumed client as well) or simply
stop the locally installed postgresql so the portable server can start on port 5432

Have fun with GNUmed on the go (TM)

The download (47MB) is available at http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/server/v9

Credits go to the fine folks of the FOSS community and Jo Cook for USBGIS (www.archaeogeek.com) [Less]

GNUmed on the go (beta) - take the EMR with you

I am proud to announce that based on work I completed a year ago we can now have frequently updated version of GNUmed on the go (TM).

What is GNUmed on the go ?
GNUmed on the go is GNUmed for Windows packages to be run from a portable ... [More] device such as USB drive without any installlation. No more dependencies. Run anywhere, anytime. Just doubleclick and connect to the server of your choice.

On top of that GNUmed portable has been packaged to fit right into the PortableApps USB drive solution (www.portableapps.org)

This will cater for two groups of doctors. One group is forced to use MS Windows PCs and prefers to have gnumed run off any portable device such as USB drive, ipod or mp3player. The other group just wants to check out GNUmed on a local PC without taking care of any dependencies.

GNUmed_Portable_0.3.2.paf.exe installs right onto your USB drive which has portable app installed or in a directory of your choice on your PC.

Disclaimer: Do not use it for anything else but testing when installing on your local PC. Once you decide to use GNUmed on your PC we recommend a full installation as described over at wiki.gnumed.de

Planned: integrate with the portable OpenOffice.org
Planned: adapt the splash screen (now shows Abiword :-)
Planned: adapt the documentation [Less]

Bootstrapping for client 0.3.2 (version 9 db) on MS WIndows flying again

It has been some time since I last looked at the bootstrap process on MS Windows. After almost a day of work
I am happy to report that the recent bootstrap scripts have been ported from GNU/Linux to MS Windows.

The Wiki has been updated ... [More] to reflect recent changes like the recommendation to use PostgreSQL 8.3. Info has
been added on the exact installation options for PostgreSQL on MS Windows.

Complete GNUmed setups (client and server) are now possible again. An installer package for MS Windows
'gnumed-server-v9.exe' will be available shortly on 'http://www.gnumed.de/downloads' [Less]

GNUmed now speaks portuguese

Rogerio Luz has contributed a translation file so GNUmed will appear with portuguese language.

A second bugfix release for GNUmed 0.3 series has been released.

FIX: exception on not finding any "previously used accounts" in config files
FIX: exception on accessing review status in document
FIX: exception when phrasewheel *thinks* there is a dropdown and receives <enter>

NEW: do not at all handle DEL/BS in ResizingSTC to avoid weird cursor behaviour reported by user
NEW: annotate emailed bug reports to somewhat help Launchpad
NEW: add gnumed-bugs@gnu.org to bug report target if not configured [Less]

GNumed 0.2 --> 0.3 migration

Hi all,

Getting the latest GNUmed ist easy but here are a few issues to consider.

1.) GNUmed 0.3.0 needs a newer GNUmed database version then the 0.2 line (up to 0.2.8.10)
GNUmed v8 is needed for the client 0.2.8.10 and higher ... [More] but version v9 database is needed for
GNUmed 0.3.0 and higher

If you have a stable and running client 0.2.8.10 connection to version 8 of the database then you need to
update your database with the scripts called upgrade_db.sh and call it like this:

"upgrade_db.sh 8 9"

to go from an existing v8 to v9. This will *not* destroy your old database. You can still connect to v8 with
client 0.2.8.10 but you can connect to v9 with client 0.3.0 and higher.

2.) If you are starting fresh you can simply use

"bootstrap-latest.sh" [Less]

GNUmed 0.3.0 for your Linux

Hi all,

GNUmed 0.3.0 packages for some rpm-based Linux flavors such as openSUSE , Fedora and Mandriva are now available

GNUmed Release 0.3.0

Hi all,

I am happy to announce that GNUmed version 0.3.0 has just
been released.

Tarballs are here:

http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/

This time we had a fair bit of testing so I expect a slow
stream of bug ... [More] reports only. Thanks to all who tested and
provided feedback so far !

The major new feature is Test Results Handling.

- configuration and logging has been redone
- documents are much improved
- printing, faxing, mailing
- external permalinks
- change type across all documents
- a lot more backend signals allow for realtime client update
- database downtime can be signalled to clients
- client can check for available upgrades
- progress note display much improved
- unsaved progress notes are warned before changing
patient or closing client
- progress notes support keyword based expansion (macros)

Debian: Note that this is NOT INTENDED FOR LENNY.

In this GNUmed release I have planted two Easter Eggs ...

Happy Hunting ! :-)

Karsten [Less]
