Any interest in foreign languages now? 03:24 brendan hi amit 03:25 Amit heya chris_n2 03:25 chris_n2 pianohacker: greek, latin, hebrew 03:25 chris_n2 hi Amit 03:25 pianohacker oh, cool. Not the typical choices 03:28 chris_n2 pianohacker: interestingly enough, I spend many hours each day with a bunch of folks from Mexico and Spain.... 03:29 chris_n2 so one might think I'd at least speak passing spanish 03:30 pianohacker Meh, depends on your interest. One of the reasons I'm learning spanish from my mom is to be able to talk to my grandparents 03:30 pianohacker Is that through your job? 03:30 chris_n2 coll 03:30 chris_n2 cool, even 03:30 chris_n2 yes 03:31 pianohacker Just from the community it's in? 03:33 chris_n2 we have several students in our student body from those countries as well as four from Mexico on the faculty 03:34 pianohacker ah, cool 03:34 chris_n2 actually one of those on the faculty is from Peru 03:37 chris_n2 pianohacker: llanguage is very interesting around campus at times... students from Singapore, Korea, Philippians, and various other countries makes for very interesting conversations at times 03:37 * chris_n2 had better go find some sleep... 03:38 chris_n2 I hope to get back to Koha next week 03:38 chris sleep well 03:38 chris_n2 tnx chris... g'night #koha 04:57 CGI433 hello 04:57 CGI433 I am a teacher in Shelton Washington 04:58 CGI433 anyone 04:58 CGI433 anyone 04:59 CGI433 anyone 04:59 CGI433 anyone 05:01 pianohacker anyone! 05:32 brendan night all 05:32 pianohacker good night 06:52 Ropuch Morning #koha 07:04 chris hi Ropuch 07:05 Ropuch Hello chris (evening for you?) 07:11 chris yep 07:12 Amit heya ropuch 07:12 Ropuch Hi Amit 07:21 Amit hi indradg 07:22 indradg Amit, good afternoon 07:33 nicomo morning evening koha 07:38 chris hi nicomo 07:38 nicomo eh chris how are you? 07:39 chris not too bad, working on fixing C4::Labels so that 3.0.x is passing all it's tests 07:48 chris you'll appreciate this, being a librarian 07:49 chris it now handles callnumbers like MP3-CD F PARKER properly 07:51 indradg chris, that's *nice* :) 08:00 chris and another test fixed 08:00 chris so now, 3.0.5 will run make test and only error on actual errors now :) 08:17 chris http://stats.workbuffer.org/gitbuilder/ 08:17 chris lots of green now 08:17 Ropuch [; 08:19 kf morning #koha 08:20 chris hiya kf 08:20 Ropuch guten Morgen kf :)_ 08:20 kf hi chris 08:21 kf guten Morgen Ropuch 10:30 CGI847 Hi Everybody... A u there Amit 10:31 CGI847 Amit: 10:33 CGI847 Kf? 10:34 CGI847 Chris 10:34 CGI847 Ropuch? 10:34 imp CGI847: just ask your question :) 10:36 CGI847 CDS/ISIS records failed to load into the Koha Biblio..only loaded into the resevoir..currently we are entering them manually. 10:38 CGI847 We are running Koha 2.2 on Suse Linux 10:38 chris did you use bulkmarcimport.pl from the commandline ? and why such and old version of koha? 10:39 CGI847 Yes bulkinport.pl was used and the CS/ISIS records were said not vto be MARC-compliant 10:40 CGI847 Have not updraded to lates version yet# 10:40 chris in my experience that is true, cds/isis doesnt produce valid marc, you can use marcedit to fix it though 10:41 * chris has to go to sleep, but take a look on the wiki.koha.org 10:41 chris there is info about cds/isis and koha 10:42 CGI847 I ve tried marcedit on a test Koha server (Windows) but did not succeed 10:42 chris and this http://www.kohadocs.org/CDS_ISIS_to_Koha.html 10:42 * chris goes to bed, good night 10:43 CGI847 Chris: A u saying I shud also hav a look at wiki.koha.org 10:43 CGI847 gud nite chris Ill have a look 10:46 CGI847 But my test server is Windows! 10:51 CGI847 Has anybody experienced problem migratin form CDS/ISIS to Koha 11:18 Amit hi CGI847 11:18 Amit yes 12:49 CGI847 a u there Amit 12:51 CGI847 Guys what is the best approach to sourcing a Koha consultancy? 12:53 CGI847 See this important system is a fuss considering that one needs to be Linux,SQL and DBA literate 12:55 CGI847 Koha Training I think thats what a novice like me needs rather than fumbling & experimenting around with things 12:55 jdavidb 847: There are a number of vendors offering Koha help/training/hosting/installations/support. Where in the world are you? 12:56 CGI847 We are in Botswana,Africa and I can tell you the only guys who could help us are in South Africa but there is a fuss also 12:57 jdavidb Have you looked at the pay-for-support page at http://koha.org/support/pay-for-support ? It might be worth sending a few of those contacts some email, see what they can do. Won't hurt to ask. 12:58 jdavidb Fair Disclaimer: I am biased, as I work for PTFS. I couldn't say for sure if my company would be interested, not knowing your needs, but I can say that our contact, Patrick Jones, would be happy to at least have a conversation with you about it. 12:59 CGI847 Ive sent mail to him. Is he on chat? 12:59 jdavidb The good news, if that doesn't work out for you, is that you don't truly need to be a major expert at Linux or SQL. As long as you're not on the bleeding-edge new stuff, it mostly Just Works, unless your needs are unusual. 12:59 jdavidb Patrick is not usually on chat. 13:00 jdavidb He's been out of town for several days, and I don't know if he's back today or not--haven't seen him. 13:00 CGI847 I sent mail to him yesterday 13:00 * jdavidb nods. 13:01 jdavidb I'll ping him to look for it, then. May I have your name? 13:02 jdavidb We do a fair bit of training via WebEx and similar remote tools, as well as hosting and assisting with on-site installs, so I don't see why we *wouldn't* be able to help, technologically. 13:04 CGI847 Hmmm I see.. U see my problem here is that people dont want to engage experts and prefer to get their fingers burnt on something they dont understand 13:05 jdavidb I understand. In the current economy, globally, experimentation is sometimes cheaper than expertise, sometimes not, and knowing which way it'll go is challenging. 13:06 CGI847 jdavidb:I would prefer to engage you through my own company 13:08 jdavidb I'll ping Patrick to watch for email from you. He'll be the best one to talk to about an arrangement. :) 13:09 CGI847 Please brief me about the Koha WebEx training 13:11 CGI847 How may site has PTFS installed/is supporting? 13:11 jdavidb I personally haven't done too many; we have a couple of folks who do that. It allows for shared-desktop access, along with teleconferencing, for demonstration-style training. Technologically, it's pretty easy to set up and run. It's great for a short how-do-I-do-this, as well as for longer systematic training. 13:12 jdavidb Patrick's got all the facts and figures; I'm just the worker bee. :) 13:12 CGI847 Do you have Windows based installations of Koha? 13:12 jdavidb We don't have any Windows sites currently under support, that I know of. 13:17 CGI847 I m sure Patrick has replied but problem is our mail server is down.. 13:17 jdavidb I'm fairly sure he has *not* replied yet. He's not in the office yet. 13:18 jdavidb Give him a day or two to get caught up, and he'll get back to you. He's good about that 13:19 CGI847 Dont you think to a novice Koha is more complicated than commercial systems? 13:21 jdavidb To a novice? Lots easier than commercial systems. Most commercial vendors won't give you the time of the day without big stacks of money being involved. With Koha, there is help right here, most any hour of the day. 13:21 jdavidb The folks here are very helpful, if you've shown a little initiative, read the docs, tried things, and are able to ask clear, detailed questions. 13:23 CGI847 OK I see.. Do you have clients outside the USA 13:24 jdavidb Not currently. Our European partner, PTFS-Europe (http://www.ptfs-europe.com/) has customers all over; not sure if they have any near you or not. 13:35 CGI847 What advice would you give: The Windows or the Linux way? 13:38 owen Hi #koha 13:38 CGI847 What is the distinguising difference between a Linux & a Windows installation of Koha 13:39 owen CGI847: At the moment a Windows installation of 3.x is difficult if not impossible. 13:39 CGI847 3.x is the latest? 13:39 owen Yes 13:40 owen 3.0.4, with 3.2 in the works. 13:41 owen However, you can run VirtualBox on Windows and run Linux in a virtual machine. That's what I do for testing. 13:41 CGI847 I see.. 13:42 CGI847 That way youll then be able to run 3.x on Windows ?. 13:43 owen Yes, although I'm not sure how well that would work as a "live" system 13:44 CGI847 Will Koha support for Windows continue in the forseeable future? 13:45 owen People are working on getting Koha to work on Windows, but Windows-compatible version of Koha will probably always lag behind the standard version 13:48 CGI847 So that is to imply that one better go the Linux way..Does Koha support all Linux brands?Suse,mandrake,redhat,ubuntu etc.. 13:48 nicomo CGI847: Debian is best 13:49 CGI847 Hi Nicomo.. why is Debian the best..We are using Suse 13:49 nicomo I'm not a techy guy, I'm a librarian, so you'd have to check with others on this 13:50 nicomo but my understanding is that Debian gives you access to the right list of perl packages 13:50 nicomo more easily than, say, RH 13:51 ricardo Hi everyone 13:51 ricardo @seen hdl 13:51 munin ricardo: hdl was last seen in #koha 2 weeks, 1 day, 0 hours, 13 minutes, and 4 seconds ago: <hdl> good. 13:51 ricardo @seen hdl_laptop 13:51 munin ricardo: hdl_laptop was last seen in #koha 17 hours, 59 minutes, and 27 seconds ago: <hdl_laptop> Is it consolidated figures ? 13:52 owen CGI847: Debian is the distro most developers use, so it's your best bet for everything working properly. Ubuntu has worked fine for my testing system. 13:52 CGI847 Nicomo:Compared to others as per what you know 13:53 CGI847 You mean Koha developers also use Debian? 13:53 nicomo I think they mostly do, yes 13:53 nicomo or ubuntu 13:54 CGI847 OR Red Hat??? 13:54 nicomo I think RH has issues with the versions of perl packages 13:54 owen Not that I know of CGI847 13:55 nicomo being out of date on a standard RH install 13:55 ricardo CGI847: There is a tutorial of Koha Installation in CentOS 13:55 ricardo CGI847: Installation Manual of Koha 3.03 on CentOS 5.3 13:55 ricardo http://www.dpl.gov.in/centos5-koha3.html 13:55 owen CGI847: You can also browse the installation instructions for the various distros: http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=tree 13:57 kf we also use ubuntu here 14:05 CGI847 I see.. 14:08 CGI847 I can only see instros for Debian,Debian lenny fedora,Open Suse &Ubuntu ----------What does that imply?? 14:09 owen CGI847: I means that installation instructions have only been written for those distros. 14:10 ricardo CGI847: It only implies exactly that - that people only submitted installation instructions for those distributions. If you install Koha in other Linux distribution and want to submit instructions for that distribution, then "more power to you"! :) 14:11 CGI847 Or could it somehow mean people have not confidently tested it on the other systems?? 14:12 ricardo CGI847: I guess that's also possible. I think it's not possible to be sure. Did you want to install Koha in other distribution? Which one? 14:13 CGI847 Why is the CentOS Koha instro not published on the Koha site? 14:13 owen CGI847: It's also possible that someone has tested it on another distro but didn't contribute installation instructions back to the Koha project. 14:13 ricardo CGI847: It is in the Wiki 14:13 ricardo http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php 14:14 ricardo "# Koha 3.0.3 on CentOS 5.3 Extremely detailed" 14:14 ricardo Maybe because that one is filled with screenshots and those can't go to installation text files? 14:15 CGI847 Hmmm....First time to here on CentOS 14:15 CGI847 Is CentOS popular? first time to hear of the OS 14:17 ricardo CGI847: CentOS is a rebuild of RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) 14:17 CGI847 mY GOD i DIDNT KNOW.. 14:18 ricardo CGI847: No problem :) 14:21 CGI847 So interms of documentation & reliability would one say CentOS has bigger tally than most?? 14:21 owen CGI847: Debian is the most used. 14:22 nahuel install of koha on debian is more easier than centos/redhat/fedora 14:22 nahuel debian or derivated like ubuntu 14:22 ricardo @later tell hdl_laptop Hi Henri! Please read "Will my patches for Bug 3730 (submitted in October) be applied for Koha 3.0.5?" - http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2009-December/010586.html Thanks! :) 14:22 munin ricardo: The operation succeeded. 14:22 CGI847 With the CentOS Dont we have the issues of versions with perl packges that are in RHEL 14:23 CGI847 With the CentOS Dont we have the issues of versions with perl packges that are in RHEL 14:23 ricardo CGI847: Probably, yes 14:23 nahuel ricardo, if I remember i'll tell him to watch 14:23 ricardo CGI847: Probably, yes (="With the CentOS [you'll probably] have the issues of versions with perl packges that are in RHEL") 14:23 ricardo nahuel: Thanks! :) 14:24 nahuel :) 14:24 nahuel he's not at office today 14:25 CGI847 Who has it at what the Koha developers use?? 14:27 arturo8a_ Im using Ubuntu 9.10 and Koha 3.0.4 =/ 14:27 nahuel our hosting servers are under debian 14:27 ricardo CGI847: I think owen and nahuel are right (most use Debian or Debian derivatives, like Ubuntu). Actually, I'm kind of an exception (I mostly use SUSE - openSUSE / SLES. SLES is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server) 14:28 nahuel But we have clients, under redhat, fedora, centos, suse 14:28 nahuel and has one client under solaris 14:28 CGI847 Nahuel,Owen:I see 14:30 arturo8a_ I could never install and configure zebra on Opensuse = ( 14:30 arturo8a_ so i changed to ubuntu server =) no problems here 14:30 CGI847 What factors would one consider to choose the OS to use? size,reliability,documentation etc?????? 14:32 nahuel packages :) 14:32 arturo8a_ comunity =) 14:33 nahuel and sysadmin choice 14:33 owen Yeah, don't pick one your sysadmin hates ;) 14:33 arturo8a_ yeah, of course... 14:33 arturo8a_ xD 14:37 arturo8a_ emmm how i can show item types on opac - zebra search? 14:38 nahuel arturo8a_, in search result ? 14:39 nahuel or in record view ? 14:39 ricardo arturo8a_: Regarding Zebra on openSUSE, I had (have) the same problem. I'm guessing it is possible to work around it, by using the same approach that the guy that created the CentOS tutorial used. But, for now, I'm just skipping Zebra altogether 14:39 owen arturo8a_: item type information is item-level, and information from search results is title-level 14:40 nahuel owen, depends of item-level_itype 14:47 tirabo arturo8a_: I think that you must modify MARC21slim2OPACResults.xsl in order to show 942$c 14:48 arturo8a_ in search result 14:48 tirabo yes 14:49 arturo8a_ MARC21slim2OPACResults.xsl ? 14:49 arturo8a_ ok, i will search.. 14:51 rhcl_away @seen chris 14:51 munin rhcl_away: chris was last seen in #koha 4 hours, 8 minutes, and 49 seconds ago: * chris goes to bed, good night 14:51 arturo8a_ tirabo 14:51 arturo8a_ maybe you can help mi on this: 14:51 tirabo arturo8a_: MARC21slim2OPACResults.xsl is in /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/en/xslt or something like this 14:52 arturo8a_ i need to index some authorities marc fields on biblioserver -zebra 14:52 arturo8a_ for users can search some authorities fields on opac normal search 15:22 arturo8a_ woahh =( i need to put every item and image manually? 15:24 owen arturo8a_: What do you mean? 15:26 arturo8a_ in xslt file , MARC21slim2OPACResults.xsl 15:26 arturo8a_ i have activate the XSL stylesheet on OPAC config 15:26 arturo8a_ but shows me all items as "Book" >.< 15:26 arturo8a_ I have Books, Articles, CD's ,etc.. =/ 15:29 owen When it shows "Book" it is showing the material type based on the information in your MARC record 15:29 owen It is unrelated to itemtype or collection code. 15:30 arturo8a_ uhmmm 15:31 arturo8a_ i see the problem is the following 15:31 arturo8a_ i have the correctly itemtype on 942c 15:31 arturo8a_ but... in 008, i have a "t" 15:32 arturo8a_ xls searchs on 008 and i think all my items have a t :S there is a way to change this? if i change all items code manually ... will be a problem? 15:32 arturo8a_ look: 15:32 arturo8a_ <xsl:when test="$leader6='t'"><img src="/opac-tmpl/prog/famfamfam/silk/book.png" alt="book" title="book"/> Book</xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$leader6='p'"><img src="/opac-tmpl/prog/famfamfam/silk/report_disk.png" alt="mixed materials" title="mixed materials"/>Mixed Materials</xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$leader6='m'"><img src="/opac-tmpl/prog/famfamfam/silk/computer_link.png" alt="computer file" ti 15:34 kf arturo8a: if you 008 is not correct - there is a sys pref so that the icons are not shown in opac 15:35 kf if you want to correct your 008 you can use a tool like marcedit and reimport your records 15:37 owen Hi schuster 15:39 arturo8a_ hi schustr 15:39 arturo8a_ kf,... uhmmm when i creating a new marc record, in 008 edit, it shows date-format on 008-06 field :S not a item type 15:42 kf arturo8a_ im not sure I understand your problem, the small icons in opac are not related to your item types 15:42 kf they are generated from values in coded MARC21 fields, I think 007 or/and 008 15:43 kf if you are not able to correct your data you can use a sys pref to deactivate those small icons, or you can correct your data using koha cataloging or a tool like marc edit for batch editing 15:45 arturo8a_ mmm 15:46 arturo8a_ my opac is showing correctly icons and items types now 15:46 arturo8a_ but... i "coded" this solution... in the past... 15:47 arturo8a_ looks like here : 15:47 arturo8a_ http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/5820/itemtypes.jpg 15:48 kf ok, so your problem is that it shows correctly but search is not working? 15:48 arturo8a_ no no I thought that are an easy way to define it in style 15:49 arturo8a_ because i coded it... an every time that updates koha, i will need to copy it code and other =S 15:57 tirabo arturo8a_: xslt is highly programmable, so you could modify it in such a way that consider only 942$c to show icons of itemtypes 15:57 schuster Hey all... Beware - I found my old laptop that I had debian and the original 3.0 install!! I'm planning to use it as my "test" 3.2 machine! There may be questions as I get started playing with GIT! 15:58 owen schuster: We're all hiding! 15:58 schuster You know me well! 16:01 arturo8a_ hi tirabo =) Yeah, i obtain a good result for showing item type and it works, the problem is to show the relation image-itemtype ... needs to be maually ? 16:04 tirabo arturo8a_: If I understand the question you should chage in the xsl a few lines to stablish the relations (in esence changing 008x by 952$c) 16:12 owen Anyone around familiar with suggestion management in HEAD? I see "accepted," "rejected," and "checked" as statuses for suggestions 16:12 owen What is "checked?" 16:13 arturo8a_ tirabo: mm sorry tirabo, the problem is in my library... i asked to my librarian and she said that here she puts Books,Articles,thesis as diferent item type... when the correct way is to put all articles,thesis, and books just as "Books"... my mistake =) 16:47 owen Opinions welcomed on proposed changes to suggestion management interface: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3844 16:47 munin 04Bug 3844: trivial, P5, ---, oleonard@myacpl.org, ASSIGNED, Manage Suggestions Design Needs Work 16:56 arturo8a_ anyone more thinks that language files needs to be in a separate file and template in another? 16:58 nicomo owen: +1 17:05 brendan morning 17:07 chris morning 17:07 owen Hi chris, brendan 17:10 kf morning chris :) 17:11 rhcl This is interesting. 17:11 rhcl http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/12/15/best_buy_busybox_software_freedom_law/ 17:11 kf and bye #koha, bbl 17:12 chris yeah they have been selling modified versions without the source code, it seems a pretty clear cut case 17:15 chris soon as you dont comply with the GPL, standard copyright law kicks in, and then you're toast 17:30 owen Is there a way to make my templates fail if I've got an unclosed TMPL tag? 17:33 chris i know how to do that with template toolkit, dunno with html::template sorry owen 17:49 arturo8a_ dvanced search by publication date doesnt work for me... anyone has tested it? 17:56 schuster debian question - how can I tell if samba is installed?

By hand. These are 100 to 200 year old books. 18:33 Ropuch Ow 18:33 veryinky So it's not like I can look them up by their isbn number. Some are really neat. Like this 250 year old bible. Thing is huge. Leather cover, gold trim, huge lock. 18:34 veryinky (not that I understand why a bible would need a lock) 18:34 moodaepo veryinky I love books with locks one them ; ) 18:34 Ropuch My task is easy with z3950, I have 1950+ books, most of them are 1975+ 18:34 Ropuch veryinky: libri catenati? 18:35 veryinky That one is probably going into a cabinet or display since it's rather valuable. 18:36 veryinky Sorry, I'm not a librarian. Engineering student and this is a part time job. So no idea. 18:36 veryinky I can ask the historian if you want. 18:36 Ropuch heheh, it's ok 18:37 Ropuch No, libri catenati are "chained books" - mediaval libraries often had books bound to the desk 18:38 Ropuch veryinky: why a library with such old and specific books want to catalog them with your hands? 18:39 veryinky Historical Society, "La société historique du marigot" 18:41 veryinky It's a small organization which stores historical documents for the south shore of montreal, quebec. Mostly for genealogy research, old documents. It's not big enough to be a museum though. 18:41 veryinky http://www.marigot.ca/ 18:43 veryinky The big projects right now are digitizing and classifying old documents, making 3d models of 17th century forts from old blueprints, and my project of going through the various books they have in storage. 18:44 jdavidb Lots of museum collections smaller than that, veryinky. Be proud; those are interesting projects! 18:44 veryinky The historian also wants to set it up so people can search for books and documents in nearby universities and government historical archives. Hence koha 18:46 veryinky Thanks. He's rather impressed with koha so far. 18:49 martinmorris i'm just checking this out myself and biblios.net has more records than i expected 18:49 martinmorris however, if i want to send any records direct to my system i'm not sure of which settings to put into my biblios.net account 18:49 jdavidb For what your institution needs, it is *very* good. Some of the things that still make some circulating libraries twitch just don't apply to you. A little bit of time, and you can get it ticking along like a well-tuned watch for 'em. 18:53 martinmorris can anybody point me to some documentation there, i can't quite find the answer? 18:57 schuster Generally I save them to the completed folder and later export them in MARC 21 and then use the Koha import function to get them into Koha. 18:58 schuster There are lots of Large university collections so I suspect you may have a fairly good hit rate due to rare book collections.] 18:58 martinmorris that's fair enough 19:00 martinmorris but does koha have a way of directly accepting records? 19:28 richard hi 19:28 imp heyho 19:29 schuster If you have control - local server - you can set it up I believe as a "send target" I think is what it was called - but I don't know how that works with indexing. 19:29 schuster Schuster out - holiday work party meeting with 60 librarians. 20:12 * cait need patient person to help with zebra problem 20:13 cait can somebody help me with zebra? im out of ideas :( 20:13 brendan cait - I'm around for a minute or two and if you paste your question maybe someone else will pop in 20:13 cait zebraserver is running (user koha) and rebuild_zebra runs as crontab every 3 minutes 20:14 cait I looked in zebra_queue tables and i see that new and updated records get in there 20:14 cait and after indexing column done is changed from 0 to 1 20:14 cait i see no problem and have no error message, but search does not work :( 20:15 cait and hi brendan :) 20:15 brendan cait if you type this -- ps -aef | grep zebra 20:16 brendan do you have more than a few lines that appear? 20:16 brendan sorry I mean on your command line 20:16 cait koha 2620 2586 0 01:51 pts/0 00:00:00 zebrasrv -f /home/katrin/koha-dev/etc/koha-conf.xml 20:16 cait koha 3760 3719 0 02:35 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto zebra 20:16 cait no problem, thx for the command, my linux vocabulary is very small :) 20:18 brendan cait - phone is ringing 20:18 brendan be back later :( 20:18 cait ok 20:18 cait thx brendan 20:22 ricardo Gotta go.
