00:50 mtompset Greetings, #koha folk.
01:06 brylie joined #koha
01:08 wajasu ok. got my kvm script to build debiansqueeze+koha, and now i did a git clone and am wiring up the environment, whilst reusing the PERL5LIB.  My staf admin interface works fine.  The opac complained about GetDailyQuote is not exported by the C4::Koha module.  Maybe its just because I pulled from the master.
01:11 * mtompset shrugs, "I don't know."
01:17 wajasu i'll try an pull a stable release tag.
01:18 mtompset I would try to "grep -l GetDailyQuote `find .`" in your koha install.
01:19 mtompset And then figure out by looking at the code in the modules listed.
01:36 mtompset any success, wajasu?
01:43 wajasu running cpan to get two perl modules
01:44 mtompset which two?
01:44 wajasu DateTime::Format:MySQL and DateTime::TimeZone
01:45 mtompset Are you sure there isn't a package for the first one?
01:45 mtompset I did an install attempt under Ubuntu.
01:45 mtompset I did an "aptitude search datetime-format-mysql"
01:45 mtompset and it found it.
01:46 mtompset perhaps a similar search "aptitude search datetime-timezone" might find the second.
01:46 wajasu oh yeah. i forgot. i was literraly following INSTALL.debian (should have searched).
01:47 mtompset Don't worry about it. I've done that before too. :)
01:48 mtompset I did mention ubuntu expressly in a bug report I put up recently.
01:48 mtompset bug 8192
01:48 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8192 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Update libraries and Missing library in install_misc/ubuntu.packages
01:49 mtompset the missing library is the first one you mentioned: DateTime::Format::MySQL
01:52 wajasu "GetDailyQuote" is not exported by the C4::Koha module
01:52 wajasu Can't continue after import errors at /kohaclone/opac/opac-main.pl line 26
01:52 wajasu BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /kohaclone/opac/opac-main.pl line 26.
01:53 Administrator joined #koha
01:53 wajasu maybe i have the /etc/koha/apache2/apache-shared.conf not mapped correctly for opac
01:57 mtompset No, I don't think so.
01:58 wajasu i need to do Makefile.PL and follow the INSTALL.debian  (got to get my KOHA_CONF and defined as well.
01:58 mtompset But this is probably a newer feature.
01:58 wajasu i've just done a git pull. and edited the apache stuff.
01:58 wajasu the staff interface worked.
01:58 mtompset Ah, so you haven't finished the setup steps...
01:59 mtompset Probably a good idea to finish them first before trying to debug. :)
02:00 wajasu yes.  i will have to do this tomorrow with a fresh generated VM and follow the install steps. :)  thx
02:02 mtompset What VM package are you using?
02:02 Administrator joined #koha
02:03 Administrator joined #koha
02:03 mtompset For my testing purposes, I have a windows box with VirtualBox running.
02:06 wajasu i wrote a shell script that i run that uses libvirt.  it grabs the debian netinst iso, and a cdrom install using a debian preseeding file, which also installs koha-common, and configures its all.    now I am adding a git dev environment to it for patches.  libvirt will be able to generate qcow2, vmdk, lvm, kvm based images.
02:08 wajasu it only took 5 minutes to run in my /dev/shm /tmp directory. (really just waited while grabbing stuff from repos).  its a good way to document what it takes.  maybe it can be web hosted later and folks can generate different images.  my host machine is archlinux.

03:43 bencahill G'night guys, I'm going to unplug because of the storm here. :)
03:43 mtompset Good night, bencahill.
03:44 bencahill mtompset: Hey, I'm just now trying out Sublime Text (just heard of it), and it's awesome! You should give it a try. :P
03:45 * bencahill feels crazy for somewhat ditching vim so fast, but this is out of this world.
03:45 mtompset What is Sublime Text?
03:45 mtompset And editor?
03:45 bencahill Yup
03:45 mtompset Why install a non-default editor?
03:45 mtompset Less installs = good.
03:46 bencahill mtompset: Eh, vim is on-default on this distro (arch)
03:46 bencahill mtompset: And yes, vi/vim has that awesome advantage, and I'll still use it for a lot of things.
03:47 mtompset really?! what editor is installed by default on arch linux?
03:47 bencahill mtompset: vi
03:47 bencahill s/on-default/n&/
03:48 mtompset What's wrong with plain vi?
03:48 bencahill Um, no syntax highlighting, for one.
03:48 mtompset BAH! If you can't see the syntax, you need glasses. :P
03:48 bencahill I'm sure there are a lot of other things I like in vim that vi doesn't have. Not that I'm saying vi by itself isn't awesome. ;)
03:49 * bencahill actually likes pretty colors, even though he does use a tiling wm with no window borders. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, eh?
03:50 bencahill But anyway, g'night...I'm just excited. :)
03:50 mtompset When I was in University, emacs was the rage.
03:50 mtompset Okay... have a good night, bencahill. :)
03:50 bencahill :)

09:00 cait mtompset: we have t obe nice to slef
09:00 cait mtompset: he has to suffer doing all the organisation
09:00 slef I wish I could give mtompset wiki access
09:00 cait we all do...
09:00 slef but I would just fail to find time
09:00 mtompset Hey, you guys are trying. I very much appreciate that.
09:00 cait lol
09:00 slef I am very trying!
09:00 cait I dropped gmcharlt a mail too some days ago
09:01 cait no answer yet
09:01 cait perhaps we should try thd
09:01 mtompset From what I can tell in the IRC logs... I missed him by 3 minutes!
09:01 mtompset How frustrating.
09:02 * gmcharlt pops in -- not just a matter of unblocking email, going to need to figure out a way to deal with mediawiki's laxity
09:02 gmcharlt as we were in danger of getting k-c.org on spam blocks
09:02 slef can we special case approve mtompset account please?
09:02 * mtompset smiles, "Okay... I can relax now. :)"
09:02 cait hi gmcharlt
09:03 cait yes, perhaps some people could be given permission to activate user accounts?
09:03 mtompset A lot of places have a "Are you human?" box that you need to check.
09:03 cait that could work until we get a real solution again
09:03 mtompset And then some even have a simple "What is 3+4?" box.
09:03 slef bulk deleting unapproveds and switching to lots of ppl allowed to approve. maybe from irv
09:03 gmcharlt mtompset: whcih the bots have defeated
09:03 slef irc
09:04 gmcharlt slef: I agree, it's gonig to have to be manual approval
09:04 gmcharlt mtompset: what user account did you register?
09:04 slef I hate "are you human?" because most of them say I am not
09:04 cait lol
09:05 mtompset mtompset@hotmail.com
09:05 mtompset I did send you an email @gmail.
09:05 slef what am I? chopped liver?
09:05 * slef rants off to his mailbox
09:06 gmcharlt mtompset: yes, I mean, what username did you assign yourself?
09:06 gmcharlt nm, found it
09:06 cait gmcharlt++
09:06 mtompset mtompset
09:06 wahanui rumour has it mtompset is taking off
09:07 mtompset wahanui forget mtompset
09:07 wahanui mtompset: I forgot mtompset
09:07 gmcharlt wahanui: forget mtompset
09:07 wahanui gmcharlt, I didn't have anything matching mtompset
09:07 * mtompset laughs, "Great minds think alike."
09:15 mtompset What if there was an email address to which a blank message with "Register Me" as a subject line would generate the confirmation email after the user registered? Bots don't send empty emails, and they don't know the subject line, though they'd likely get the email address.

09:27 mtompset Hmm... no password is set... did it ask?
09:28 mtompset I must have done something wrong.
09:29 mtompset It said the username is the same as my Real Name.
09:29 mtompset but I don't think it asked for a password.

10:31 slef medmondson: I think S went there yesterday. Pretty good but tour was overbooked (22) and even fully-booked (20) is a bit more than some rooms hold (maybe 15). Still interesting though.

10:33 rangi i was thinking to maybe do a highlands tour tomorrow http://www.highlandexperience.[…]s.asp?txtTour=171
10:34 cait monsters mountains and massacres - sounds like fun :)
10:34 asaurat joined #koha
10:35 rangi 41 pound, which is alright for me, but maybe too much for some?
10:36 cait I think would be ok for me, the nessi hunter tour is not included i think, but I would like to do it again

10:37 slef you all got your SRU questions ready?
10:37 rangi yup
10:37 rangi well eythian does
10:37 slef Scream and Run Urway
10:37 slef maybe only works in my accent
10:38 rangi heh
10:39 slef that will be more on my talk I think, once I make my suggestion
10:40 slef will you applaud or boo when I say "LibLime was right"?
10:40 cait it depends on how you explain that
10:40 cait I think
10:40 slef anyone find marcelr's library on LibraryThing?
10:42 paul_p not really clear what is included in  http://www.highlandexperience.[…]s.asp?txtTour=171, or I couldn't find where it's described...
10:42 cait paul_p: read the left column down
10:46 paul_p cait = OK, we take the bus. But will there be a guide ? which language ? audio-guide in french ? lunch included for the price ? where the bus start in EDI ?
10:46 cait hm i think we came by the bus stop this morning
10:46 cait i haven't taken the tour before, I think they advertised tours in different languages, so there might be french
10:47 medmondson west highland line is truly wonderful.  (go over the famous 'Harry Potter' viaduct) http://www.scotlandsforme.com/[…]raction.php?id=79

10:54 rangi can you try a search in french now?
10:54 rangi or any french speaker
10:57 paul_p rangi = much better, except the "Maintenant" ( in the Entre le: field) must be removed or you get no results
10:57 drojf rangi: the highlands tour sounds nice, but does it say somewhere how long it actually takes?
10:57 Oak thank you nengard !
10:57 paul_p it's at the wrong place = in english it's "between ______ AND Now" while in french it's "between Maintenant and _______"
10:58 paul_p drojf = on the right "start 8AM, back around 7PM"
10:58 drojf ah, i'm just blind, thanks
10:58 drojf we would be able to see nessy…
10:59 rangi 8am to 7.30pm drojf

10:59 eythian rangi: the literary pub tour started at 7.30 didn't it?
10:59 rangi i think so
11:00 mbalmer literary pub tour?
11:01 eythian I think it's a pub crawl with a pretence of culture. Exactly my sort of thing!
11:01 matts ^^
11:01 mbalmer tonight?
11:01 wahanui tonight is probably 23rd :)
11:01 eythian Not sure.

11:02 rangi paul_p: is the default removed now?
11:04 paul_p rangi = yes, it work fine now !

11:09 eythian excellent!

11:15 rangi w00t

11:51 jcamins wahanui?
11:51 wahanui yes, jcamins?
11:51 jcamins Huh. "Wahanui" used to have a response like "wahanui is little yet. He needs to learn more. :)"
11:51 mtompset How is it that you got such a colourful descriptor, jcamins?
11:52 jcamins mtompset: it used to be a lot more colorful.
11:53 mtompset jcamins?
11:53 wahanui jcamins is an outstanding cook, well-traveled and brilliant, trying to think of a solution, or the wizard that forges queries in the deep fires of zebra or an authorities expert
11:53 * jcamins looks for an example.
11:53 mtompset who would want to forge queries in the deep fires of zebra?

11:54 jcamins ;)
11:54 mtompset okay, that makes sense.
11:55 mtompset On a positive note... I got wiki access today!
11:55 jcamins I think cait did the "jcamins is an outstanding cook," then various people added the other bits, and I revised it to use commas instead of ". or" a few months ago.
11:55 jcamins Yay!
11:56 mtompset I've already added a slew of discussion notes to the koha on ubuntu page.
11:57 mtompset I figured since I've never edited a page, I'll let someone else do that.
11:57 jcamins No, you should go ahead and edit the pages. :)
11:57 jcamins It's very easy.
11:57 mtompset I'm worried about busting ir.
11:57 mtompset it
11:57 jcamins You won't.
11:58 jcamins And, if you accidentally screw things up, the change can be reverted.
11:58 medmondson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Be_bold
11:58 jcamins Exactly.
11:59 mtompset I can't seem to get that link to work, medmondson.
12:00 mtompset Is there a back up somewhere?
12:02 jcamins mtompset: I will summarize: "Be bold and edit those wiki pages!:
12:02 jcamins *"
12:02 medmondson hmm I wonder what is wrong with that URL
12:02 jcamins It worked for me.
12:02 mtompset I get timeout errors.
12:02 medmondson well its a common wiki principle
12:02 medmondson be bold, revert is easy
12:03 medmondson the wikipedia URL is a bit too wikipedia specific anyhow

13:19 jwagner cait, looks fine, thanks
13:20 eythian cait: ideally you'd upload them to the wiki
13:20 eythian it's just not working for some reason
13:20 eythian (for me, anyway)
13:20 cait I think brooke reported that in the past but were not able to replicate
13:20 jwagner I noticed the other day that the schedule on the wiki wasn't the same as on k-c.org -- which one is the "final" version?
13:21 cait ah, there should be no schedule on the wiki now
13:21 cait I removed it because both tables got out of sync with changes being made
13:21 cait I am going to give uploading files another try
13:22 dpavlin eythian: I'm not sure I know what wean songs you are refering to? From yesteday?

13:42 drojf way more friendly than a word processor ;)
13:42 mtompset When did you first interact with it?
13:42 jcamins mtompset: *TeX* is user-unfriendly. LaTeX isn't too bad.
13:42 * jcamins doesn't do TeX.
13:42 drojf a few years ago
13:42 mtompset I had bad experiences from the 90's. :P
13:43 drojf i bet word processors were even worse then :P
13:43 mtompset I'm sure GUI front-ends have improved.
13:43 mtompset Imagine having to deal with it in a text-only hand-code environment.
13:44 mtompset Unless you know it well, it's ugly.
13:44 mtompset Though, I'll still use it for generating PDF output. ;)
13:45 mtompset Back to wiki edit's before I lose them again.
13:45 jcamins Only seven bugs left to report and assign to myself.
13:47 mtompset isn't that a conflict of interest? ;)
13:48 jcamins mtompset: nah, it's a conflict of interest if I try to claim that my testing is sufficient to conclude that the fixes resolve the bugs.

14:13 mtompset Though, it's for the staff client.

14:33 schuster OK step back jcamins wins!!!  Evidently in the upgrade it changed the default from Don't Hide to Hide!
14:34 schuster OpacSupression...
14:34 jcamins wizzyrea: no, I mean, the file labeled 3.6.5 is, in fact, 3.6.5.
14:34 schuster whew...
14:34 wizzyrea ! that doesn't seem right schuster.
14:34 jcamins So you might want to re-download 3.6.5, and upgrade to that right away.
14:34 schuster On May 25th I downloaded 3.6.5 from the website and what my about is saying I have 3.6.4
14:35 jcamins schuster: okay, that's weird...
14:35 wizzyrea link wrong maybe?
14:35 jcamins Yeah, I think so.
14:35 schuster OK - well I'm in the middle of my migration to community and have had a few headaches along the way...  So I will "redownload" 3.6.5 soon once I can show it is up and running!
14:36 wizzyrea hm looks ok
14:37 wizzyrea i wonder if schuster downloaded it in that magic moment in between when the file was uploaded and the link was changed
14:37 schuster I downloaded the 3.06.05.tar.gz version.
14:37 wizzyrea i.e. coincidence of timing
14:37 jcamins wizzyrea: yeah, that would make sense.
14:37 schuster My luck of course...
14:37 wizzyrea do you still have the file?
14:37 schuster Ah let me look
14:40 schuster yes I do what do you want to know about it?
14:40 wizzyrea it says 3.06.05?
14:40 wizzyrea .tar.gz?
14:40 schuster yep - koha-3.06.05.tar.gz
14:41 wizzyrea ok that's odd
14:43 mtompset Why is that odd?
14:43 wizzyrea because his install reports it's 3.6.4
14:44 mtompset the unpacked directory and the installed directory aren't the same on a standard installation.
14:44 wizzyrea yes, thanks. I'm making some assumptions that the upgrade itself was completed correctly
14:45 jcamins mtompset: yeah, but if you installed from the 3.6.5 tgz, you should end up with the same version.
14:45 wizzyrea since he said he upgraded it
14:45 wizzyrea it could be that the upgrade itself wasn't completed correctly, and that's why there is a discrepancy

14:46 SJeffery Can anyone confirm that the 008 date fields are NOT used for a general search, but is used when performing an advanced search by date?
14:47 jcamins SJeffery: that is correct.

14:50 clrh do you use the term "lis" for library and information science ? I was looking for a name for a twitter list for people related to ils libraries and job related
14:50 rangi yep, that seems to be the common one clrh
14:51 clrh great!
14:52 SJeffery Is there documentation on which MARC fields are searched by each search box/method?
14:52 jcamins SJeffery: there is an out of date table.
14:52 jcamins Somewhere...
14:52 SJeffery Out of date? *prods nicole*
14:52 jcamins http://manual.koha-community.o[…]xes.html#id605897
14:53 jcamins See, what we really need is something that will automatically generate a listing.
14:53 samuel joined #koha
14:53 jcamins That would be a prime example of something that the GRS-1 configuration files do not lend themselves to.
14:53 jcamins DOM, on the other hand, will make that easy.
14:53 mtompset Actually, would the install/upgrade fail if there were missing dependencies?
14:54 banana joined #koha
14:55 schuster I would swear it gave me the report that 3.6.5 was complete, but it is working and I need it "semi" stable before I do ANYTHING to it again...  It has been a rough 3 days.
14:56 mtompset I'm curious as to the output of ./koha_perl_deps.pl -m
14:56 jcamins mtompset: nope.
14:56 eythian jcamins: you're almost on :)
14:57 jcamins Yay!
14:57 mtompset AS opposed to being off. ;)
14:57 jcamins I should warn you there are about two and a half seconds of silence at the beginning of the presentation.
14:58 jcamins I couldn't tell if it was recording.
14:58 pastebot "samuel" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "ldap, problems of mapping" (25 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/436
14:59 jcamins I also apologize if I talked too fast.
15:00 eythian jcamins: slef says thanks for that, it lets him move the video on the screen
15:00 eythian also that your slides will probably get changed at all the wrong moments :)

15:04 drojf now that i know how to do it i get several presentations about it
15:04 drojf :P
15:04 * chris_n cheers jcamins
15:04 SJeffery Is there a live stream of this anywhere?
15:04 * cait cheers too
15:05 drojf SJeffery: don't think so
15:05 jcamins SJeffery: there is not. However, my presentation is easy to see.
15:05 drojf you will be able to download it later i guess
15:05 cait SJeffery: I think the recordings will be available after the conference
15:05 jcamins I'm e-mailing you the links.
15:05 rangi its going well
15:06 jcamins I kept it very short since I'm about the last presentation on the last day. I figure I can answer as many questions as people have, but I didn't want to push it.
15:07 jcamins SJeffery: I just sent you the links to my presentation, which actually comes in two parts thanks to my impatience with video editing.
15:08 jcamins I think the MPG should play fine with Windows Media Player.
15:10 SJeffery Works:)
15:10 jcamins Errr, it sounds like some of the middle slides are missing.
15:10 jcamins Sorry about that.
15:10 jcamins I think the missing ones were mostly charts of things to think about.
15:10 jcamins I'll upload those a bit later.

15:25 jcamins talljoy1: I realized after getting through the first part that I wasn't actually sure if I'd managed to record it.

15:38 jcamins clrh: I wanted to let you know that as part of bug 7417 and bug 8211 I'll be doing more clean up of C4::Search, moving things over to Koha::Search::Engine.

15:38 clrh jcamins: great, I have to share last works we done with you and others at hackfest
15:39 mbalmer biblibre++ for the Drupal module!
15:39 clrh juste "moving" can be not suffisant
15:39 clrh suffisant = enougth(sorry)
15:40 jcamins clrh: sufficient is an English word too. :)
15:40 jcamins clrh: I'm not *just* moving.
15:40 clrh :)
15:40 jcamins In order to move code to Koha::Search, it has to be cleaned up a lot, or it won't work in its new home.
15:41 kyleh_ joined #koha
15:41 clrh jcamins: ++
15:41 clrh clean clean ;)
15:41 jcamins I am not entirely rewriting C4::Search, but better to have somewhat icky (but not as icky as what we have now!) code in Koha:: and the ability to introduce solr, than wait until someone has the time to entirely rewrite the Zebra interface.
15:43 clrh ô icky new word for me :)

15:45 nengard left #koha
15:45 wizzyrea :P
15:46 jcamins clrh: because we want to separate the code.
15:46 marcelr kohacon12 closed
15:47 rangi now we have to figure out what we are doing tonight
15:47 jcamins clrh: we could create a C4::Search::Engine* but that would just make things even messier, and wouldn't reduce circular dependencies.
15:47 wizzyrea pubs!
15:47 mbalmer pubs
15:47 mbalmer more pubs
15:47 wizzyrea maybe some pubs.
15:48 clrh yes but if you write into Koha:: you/we will maybe have to rewrite it
15:48 jcamins clrh: if I write into C4, it'll still have to be rewritten.
15:49 SJeffery jcamins: Very nice presentation
15:49 jcamins clrh: my goal is to have things work, improve the quality of the code, and get solr into 3.12, if not 3.10.
15:49 jcamins SJeffery: thanks.
15:49 jcamins clrh: I have funding to do some work now. I think it's better to do it right from the start.
15:49 jcamins If we use C4::Search::Engine, that means we'll have to use C4::Search.
15:50 jcamins Which means that we will have to load the entire C4:: menagerie every time we want to do a search.
15:51 jcamins I'd rather clean up some code as part of this project, but if you're planning on doing all the refactoring, I can leave it as it is in C4. ;)
15:52 jcamins (I mean, not you personally, that would be too much... just if you had a plan for it all)

17:32 SJeffery Maybe we could get one of the vendors to organize it? *prods bywater*
17:51 slef mle: soory no... doctors may contain nuts
17:53 slef SJeffery: I think we distracted bywater with kohacon12. Try asking NateC when he says hi or use @later tell NateC whatever
17:53 slef SJeffery: why don't the users organise users meetups?
17:54 * slef is ignorant co-op worker
17:54 SJeffery For the usual reason: lack of time/ability/desire to organize it :)
17:55 slef sooo if there is not enough desire, why would a vendor...?
17:55 wizzyrea if you have no desire to organize it why would anyone attend?
17:56 SJeffery On the part of the individual, not the collective group...someone always has to spend the time
17:56 slef so club together, hire a vendor to organise it?
17:57 slef else you all just pay more for them to gamble
17:57 slef and get less say about the meeting
17:57 * wizzyrea is not going to ALA this year
17:58 SJeffery I can put something together in the next few days...probably something along the lines of "get together this or that room/location and chat about Koha"
17:58 slef but I don't know... all these library confs seem like they overcharge vendors who then just overcharge libraries...
17:58 SJeffery so true
17:58 * wizzyrea would probably find a restaurant and enjoy talking about koha with food and booze.
17:58 slef ah so is there no charge from ALA for the meetup?
17:58 mle anyone still in town?
17:59 SJeffery IIRC ala is something like $10k/booth
17:59 slef mle: probably
17:59 wizzyrea slef: not if you do the meetup in the hallway track :P
17:59 SJeffery Right, I was thinking something informal to just allow people to get together and hang out
17:59 * mle wonders where
17:59 wahanui wonders is it is too early on Sunday for Koha db questions?  lol
18:00 slef I have rangi's number but I'm sure he is doing a beer tour starting at the beehive (?) 1930 and they maxed out the number of free places
18:00 mle slef ty for taking the eusa laptop
18:01 * mle goes home
18:01 slef mle: tried the doctors?
18:01 slef I think the hard part is in town AND online
18:02 slef wahanui: it is far too early on Sunday
18:02 wahanui ...but it is confusing for someone to be working on a bug and the assignee field is either wrong or blank...
18:02 wizzyrea forget it
18:02 wahanui wizzyrea: I forgot it
18:02 slef wahanui: I don't care!
18:02 wahanui slef: sorry...
18:02 slef wizzyrea: you brain surgeon you
18:03 bag yup ALA charges if you want a meeting room
18:03 bag I won't be attending ALA..
18:03 bag The best way is to have a meetup at a pub ;)
18:03 slef mle: soooo... I suggested the koha vendors needed to merge or form a cartel... and they laughed at me :/
18:05 bag There is some money left over from Kudos conference - That vtl was thinking about using to have a little get together (but I don't know the status of that)
18:05 bag schuster may have a better idea on that too
18:05 slef bag: and then you have to charge libraries more and then libraries have to cut costs and close branches and fire librarians... and who is ALA meant to be helping exactly?
18:05 mle just laughed or did you manage to ellicita reason?
18:05 bag I agree slef
18:05 bag seems to be helping themselves (ALA that is)
18:05 slef mle: just laughed at that bit... but we got reactions later
18:07 wajasu joined #koha
18:13 slef bag: librarians, please take control of your association?
18:13 bag PLEASE
18:14 slef it's very tempting to say that loudly... but also damaging to one's own business :(
18:14 mle slef it needs to be said/suggested in a low threatening manner
18:15 slef mle: yeah I'm as subtle as a molotov
18:15 bag I don't totally agree…  we're not like other vendors - librarians are the star…  ALA was great to attend when I worked the circ desk, etc…
18:15 bag but now you've summed it up well…  more librarian control ;)
18:16 mle bag: ok how to get there?
18:16 slef I guess there are pro managers at ALA
18:17 bag ALA has pro managers (field officers I think they are called)….  Most of the round tables and actual talks/programs are mostly librarian run..
18:17 bag BUT ALA does have a bottomline number they need to keep up ;)
18:18 wizzyrea I'm sure running the conference itself isn't cheap.
18:18 slef wizzyrea: who knows? Do ALA members see the conference budget afterwards?
18:18 slef or any summary of it, more likely
18:19 slef you don't need to know that someone paid £10 for a last-minute box of paperclips because they were lost in transit
18:20 wizzyrea don't get me wrong I'm not defending it
18:20 mle i reckon we could do a green version in a big tent and make it fun, green and cheap.
18:20 slef you do need to know how much the conference is taking out of libraries
18:20 slef mle: kohacon 2022?
18:20 mle no silly hotel costs
18:21 slef mle: silly heater costs? Have you seen the weather outside?
18:21 * slef waits for the gag about slef and hot air...

18:22 jwagner slef, wait for it....
18:22 slef so who runs ALA? Librarians or officers?
18:23 mle i met investment banker who was raving about a connference he went to at green and awY. he had never slept i a tent before
18:23 slef yeah not sure I have since I was 7... I should not be so negative
18:24 mle quote they even had shpwers in a tent.
18:24 mle anyhow... bbl

18:25 wizzyrea haha
18:25 wizzyrea The aim of the Association, in that resolution, was "to enable librarians to do their present work more easily and at less expense."
18:25 wizzyrea ohh kayyy
18:25 slef is that glamping
18:25 slef wizzyrea: yeah and in reality? ;)
18:25 mleaway uberglamping
18:25 wizzyrea "to give librarians a chance to look and feel important in the presence of their peers?"
18:25 slef wizzyrea: I can point to co-ops that say one thing and maybe do another

20:03 wajasu when doing a git dev install, for v3.08.01 i get DateTime::TimeZone 1.26 module required, and I have 1.20.  What is the best what to get the 1.26 version? cpan? or deb pkg from?
20:09 wajasu i did a git -b my381 v3.08.01  to hopefully be alligned with debian squeeze.  i already have the koha-common pkg installed.
20:10 libsysguy how did you install it the first time wajasu?
20:15 wajasu i build a virgin debian vm. i installed   apt-get install koha-common  and editing and things worked.  now i did a git clone, and want to do  perl Makefile.PL
20:16 wajasu makefile.PL reports that I need 1.26.     I used the debian netinst ISO.
20:18 wajasu should i had the debian wheezy repo and do   apt-cache libdatetime-perl    then  apt-get install libdatetime-perl=1.26  (or 1.46)?
20:19 wajasu or should i add the squeeze-dev  repo?
20:20 wajasu squuze-dev is technically pre wheezy i think.
20:20 wizzyrea you can't apt-get install libdatetime-timezone-perl
20:21 wizzyrea oh nm you said it's got a version mismatch
20:21 wajasu yeah
20:26 wajasu i just wonder what repo has version 1.26 and why my git -b my381 v3.08.01   working branch requires it to build.
20:26 dpavlin I'm running on squeeze using DateTime::TimeZone 1.20
20:27 wizzyrea yea, same
20:27 wizzyrea typo maybe?
20:27 dpavlin http://cpansearch.perl.org/src[…]Zone-1.46/Changes doesn't list anything which I should be warried about between 1.20 and 1.26 ;-)

20:39 wahanui graphicsmagick is, like, avaliable in package form for the following Operating Systems: Version 1.1.11 in Lenny, 1.3.12 in Squeeze, 1.3.5 in Sid and Ubuntu Lucid. Regarding the update message, all Koha functions still work even if you only have Version 1.1.11

20:39 wizzyrea see, there's a version mismatch here too, but everything still works
20:39 wizzyrea and there was a bit of an outrage over lowering the versoin.
20:39 wizzyrea version.
20:39 wahanui hmmm... version is wrong
20:39 wizzyrea forget version
20:39 wahanui wizzyrea: I forgot version
20:40 schuster I have a question about zebraindexing...  I've been doing some work with it now for 3 days and realized today that it was spinning a bunch of lines as it "sort/merges"
20:40 pastebot "schuster" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Is this indicitive of a memory type leak?" (17 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/437
20:41 schuster I think last night when it died I thought it was disc space, but I was only at 80% - today in watching this I had a TON of these lines...
20:42 schuster I'm on Version 3.06.04 ...
20:51 dpavlin schuster: do you have anything useful in /var/log/koha/*/zebra-error.log ?
21:03 schuster let me check
21:05 schuster nothing but "stopping" messages which would be normal.
21:06 dpavlin strange. kill all processes and hope that you won't run out of disk space again. zebra does need quite a bit of space to do full reindex...
21:06 dpavlin and once it dies it can produce a lot of hanging processes since we run incremental update via cron.
21:07 schuster the koha-zebradaemon-output.log has 109661 lines of warn ir_session (exception)
21:08 schuster I thought originally it was disk, but then today I saw all of these "Zebra"  fatal messages when I did ps -ef pages among pages as noted in the paste...
21:09 schuster Luckily my index of 277,000 bibs actually completed today so we can move forward with community otherwise my tail was on the line and my boss was ready to....
21:09 schuster I didn't have problems with this during my testing on 3.06.00.14...  3.06.05 has been my nemisis so far but we LOVE the features.
21:11 wizzyrea schuster did you turn off the zebraqueue cron when you did your indexing?
21:12 wizzyrea maybe the extras are your backed up zebraqueue cronjobs

21:16 schuster No I didn't so ???  maybe...  The install instructions though don't say anything about that and what was in the list are like 5-10 every minute.
21:29 wajasu has anyone seen this before after perl makefile.PL, make,make test, make install, then /etc/init.d.apache2 restart -->
21:29 wajasu apache2: Syntax error on line 230 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 32 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/koha: E

21:37 mgeist Whoot! quitting time.  Cyall on the morrow.
21:45 wajasu my bad i symbolicly linked the wrong file.  koha-conf.xml instead of koha-httpd.conf
21:45 wajasu tab completion was not my friend that time
21:48 slef ah so?
21:48 wahanui rumour has it ah so is there no charge from ALA for the meetup
21:57 wajasu ok. my git env is setup using /root/koha-dev  and /root/kohaclone  but i get forbidden!  You don't have permission to access / on this server
21:57 slef wajasu: check your apache configs, particularly <Directory ...> sections. You may find it easier to try again in /home somewhere.
21:58 wajasu ok
21:58 slef many webserver setups are cautious about serving from /root or /etc or /usr because they often contain sensitive files
21:58 slef you can reconfigure it, but maybe it is a bad idea...
22:00 wajasu just as quick to start again.  should i be running as a " koha" user account? or such?  thats what might be missing from the INSTALL instructions.
22:01 slef well some user not used for another purpose, I think
22:02 slef you may be right that INSTALL assumes people create a new login for a new web app... not strictly necessary but maybe a good idea
22:03 wajasu i always used to get in trouble with perms and zebra.  we will see this time around.
22:05 slef oh that is easily done... not too hard to fix with some chown commands... or make much worse
22:05 slef is there a reason you are not installing the koha-common*deb packages?
22:07 wajasu i did successfully with a noninteractive shell script that builds a kvm image.  no i am adding git dev support for patch support.
22:07 wajasu s/no/now/
22:08 slef oh right
22:09 wajasu i'm trying to align with the apache-shared stuff. (i.e. reuse the mysql/apache stuff.
22:16 atmanning can anyone point me to a faq or instructions about why I see zero items added when I import MARC records?    Here's my output: Number of records added973 Number of records updated0 Number of records ignored0 Number of items added0 Number of items ignored because of duplicate barcode0
22:16 atmanning this is a fresh install on Debian squeeze, Koha v 3.8 (koha-commons via apt-get)
22:17 wajasu have you run the zebra indexer?
22:17 atmanning I thought the import was supposed to add the items...  does this mean my imported marc records are showing zero items?
22:17 wajasu or if its in cron, wait until it runs?
22:18 atmanning where is the indexer found?
22:18 atmanning nothing found under /var/spool/cron/crontab
22:19 wajasu there is a section in INSTALL.debian than mentions how to set it up.
22:20 atmanning i followed this guide: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]on_Debian_Squeeze    where do I find those install instructions?
22:20 wajasu did you install koha-common or koha?
22:21 atmanning koha-common per the wiki instructions
22:21 slef blurgh, I must sleep soon, but where did the MARC records come from and do they have 952 tags?
22:22 atmanning pulled them out of a working Winnebago library system.   I don't have a clue about the tags.  I saw some things about a MARC editor that I suppose I could read through - I'd be happy with a mysql query to update an item count somewhere...
22:23 slef yeah you probably need to make the Koha holdings tags
22:23 atmanning did a MARC export of 900 records
22:23 slef there is a sort-of standard for holdings info in tag 852 but I think it is deprecated and koha uses tag 952 anyway
22:24 slef let me get you the layout of tag 952... then I must sleep
22:24 slef @marc 952
22:24 wahanui The 952 field is used by Koha to store item data in MARC21 and is described at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_fields_%289xx%29
22:24 huginn` slef: unknown tag 952
22:24 atmanning I'd like to try that zebra index thing... looking for it in /usr/share/koha/bin/??
22:25 wajasu i wrote a program way back, that added one item per in the 952 prior to import, as well as set other things.
22:25 slef and I am sorry but it is not as simple as a mysql query... you need items added through the Koha API somehow... and updating the MARC before import is probably the simplest
22:26 slef (I think adding an item updates 2 or maybe more tables, plus gets sent to the zebra indexing server)
22:26 atmanning I was afraid of that... I think I found the index thing under migration tools --- that seems like an illogical place if it supposed to run all the time
22:27 slef there is an inglorious historical reason for it... but I think it is in the INSTALL instructions
22:27 atmanning I still haven't found those instructions.... grrr...
22:28 slef errr
22:28 slef did you install from the debian package or the tar.gz?
22:28 mtj atmanning:  ./INSTALL.debian
22:29 mtj atmanning:  cron files are in /etc/cron.d
22:29 atmanning debian package via apt-get koha-commons ... looking for those crons...
22:30 mtj cat /etc/cron.d/koha-common
22:31 slef if it is the debian package, it will (should) do the INSTALL steps for you
22:31 mtj $ dpkg -L koha-common | grep cron.d
22:32 atmanning those crons are there.... I'll check for logs next - thanks for the help... gotta go eat before I starve to death
22:33 mtj $ koha-rebuild-zebra your-koha
22:35 atmanning what's the best way to confirm whether items have been added to my catalog?
22:36 slef is the problem lack of items or lack of all search resutls?
22:36 slef look up something with an item available in the catalogue?
22:37 atmanning grr.. did a report on catalog statistics - zero items.... I think I'll go back to the MARC records and check that 952 field
22:38 atmanning lack of items and lack of search results too... the koha-rebuild-zebra script didn't complain
22:40 * slef falls asleep...bbl
22:44 mtj atmanning:  theres 2 basic parts to your problem...
22:44 mtj 1) is your zebrasrv process running?
22:44 mtj 2) did your zebraidx work successfully?
22:46 mtj well, and a 3rd part too...
22:47 mtj 3) did your marc records import successfully
22:47 mtj .
22:48 atmanning yes, yes, and yes but Marc results (above) show all processed but no items added - I manually added items but I would rather set the item count to 1 on all records for the import
22:49 mtj ... if your marc records didnt import ok, then the searching or indexing of those non-existent records wont work, either :)
22:49 atmanning It looks like I have to find a way to edit the MARC redords and put a 1 in the 952 tag somehow...
22:50 mtj your winnebago marc records dont yet contain the needed $952 item-level fields, for koha
22:51 mtj yes, you need to create correct $952 info for your records *before* import into Koha
22:51 atmanning that sounds right ... I was hoping the import would set the item count to 1 ..
22:52 atmanning now to figure out how to batch modify my marc export file...   any pointers?
22:53 mtj nope, Koha will not auto-magically create items for your itemless marc records
22:53 atmanning looks like I'll have to figure out how to get the marc edit to do a search and insert
22:54 mtj i use perl for that task , some people use a win32 app called marc-edit
22:55 jcamins_away atmanning: koha-rebuild-zebra will only complain if the records are corrupted, and it takes talent to import corrupt records.
22:55 wajasu i wrote a program in java to do this for me.  i also had isbn records in my legacy library db, and queried a list of z3950 servers to get more biblio info. i'm going to have to contrib that one day.
22:56 wajasu it took two days to query servers for just 1500 records, since the servers seemed throttled ;)
22:57 wajasu i mean 15000 records.
22:58 wajasu what about bulkmarcimport.pl
22:58 mtj youknow... a really nice project would be marc2koha.pl script - that converted many other ILS marc records to koha's $952 format
22:59 mtj $ marc2koha.pl --source-format=winnebago --input=winny.mrc --output=koha.mrc
23:00 mtj $ marc2koha.pl --source-format=dynix --input=winny.mrc --output=koha.mrc
23:00 mtj etc...
23:01 jcamins_away druthb's migration toolbox?
23:01 jcamins_away druthb's migration toolbox is amazing
23:01 jcamins_away druthb's migration toolbox is also https://www.gitorious.org/koha-toolbox/
23:01 wahanui okay, jcamins_away.
23:02 jcamins_away druthb's migration toolbox?
23:02 wahanui druthb's migration toolbox is, like, amazing or https://www.gitorious.org/koha-toolbox/
23:03 wajasu yeah. i coded it in java 3 years ago.  it read all the records into a hsql database, and allowed sql queries and matched to z3950 servers, and other smarts like utf8 normalization.
23:03 wajasu good to know there is another solution
23:05 mtj jcamins_away:  nice!
23:06 mtompset joined #koha
23:06 mtompset Hello, #koha. :)
23:10 mtj catalyst's  csv2marc.pl would be a great start, then add some feature to create a new mapping via a yaml file?
23:11 jcamins_away mtj: I prefer druthb's scripts... they're a lot more flexible.
23:11 mtj $ marc2koha.pl --mapping-file=dynix.yaml --input=dynix.mrc --output=koha.mrc
23:13 mtompset What's being discussed?
23:21 mtj jcamins_away:  more flexible than the csv2marc.pl script...?
23:22 jcamins_away mtj: that's what I find, yeah.
23:22 mtj see - a general koha2marc.pl script would help newcomers to koha solve a big problem....
23:23 jcamins_away mtj: agreed.
23:23 mtj (as atmanning has just demonstrated to us)
23:23 jcamins_away mtj: I was thinking maybe we should be able to import using the CSV profiles feature.
23:23 mtj hmm, what is that?
23:23 wahanui well, that is maybe broken
23:24 mtompset wahanui forget that
23:24 wahanui mtompset: I forgot that
23:24 jcamins_away CSV profiles? Look in the administration section.
