I was able to use the Squeeze install over the weekend to get an instance of Koha up and running... 12:54 schuster WAY COOL. For those not so techie it was great! 12:55 gmcharlt larsw++ 12:55 jdavidb larsw++ 12:57 chris_n larsw++ 12:59 schuster larsw karma+ 12:59 schuster how to do Karma? 12:59 schuster karma larsw 12:59 brendan @karma 12:59 munin brendan: Highest karma: "gmcharlt" (148), "chris" (140), and "owen" (112).

Is that information not valid? 13:10 owen Hmm... Git blames Ryan Higgins, 2008-01-10 13:13 owen anyway, collum++ for the reformat. Looks good 13:19 reva chris_n: Hello, I chatted with you last week from the Bureau of Standards in Antigua and Barbuda. We are wishing to install Koha 3.0.6 for our library catalog. We run a Work Group Peer LAN over Ethernet. Our workstations are Windows XP (Service Pack 3). We will dedicate one workstation as our server. Have questions, if you can help. Thanks. 13:19 collum Thanks owen 13:19 reva owen, was that you who commented on my comment on the Koha community site? 13:20 owen Yes. Comments on the web site are not a good way to get help because not enough people follow it carefully 13:20 owen And because that's not what it's for :) 13:22 chris_n heya reva; I'm in and out today, but go ahead and ask; someone will answer if I don't :) 13:22 reva owen, sorry for scoffing the protocols. chris_n: Wanting to install Debian as virtual machine over on the workstation acting as server and installing and configuring koha 3.0.6 to work with that. Is that a good way to go? 13:23 chris_n reva: if you must run in a Win32 environment, yes, that is the only way to go atm 13:24 * chris_n is slowly inching toward a native win32 koha install, but has very little time to devote to it 13:24 owen reva: If it's going to be your Koha server, can you simply install Debian as a replacement for Windows? 13:25 reva chris_n: ok will keep that in mind about your in out schedule. Which version of Debian lends itself for virtualizing? Server Workstation: Processor speed: 2.19 GHz RAM: .98 GB (close to 1) Storage: 140 GB OS: Windows XP Service Pack 3 13:26 chris_n checkout this page: http://kylehall.info/index.php/projects/koha/koha-virtual-appliance/ 13:27 chris_n I've never used a virtualmachine with koha, but Kyle's site is the authoritative site for that 13:27 * chris_n thinks that your windows box is a little lean on ram 13:28 reva No; the windows os is mandatory as this is government office and they supply all the base software for the computers. 13:28 reva owen that last response was for your question. 13:29 reva chris_n: I did. I have even written to him in a couple of email addresses provided at his sites. But his appliance was built for version 3.0.2; so I was instead considering the virtual Debian install and Koha on that "server". 13:29 reva chris_n: was the comment about the lean on ram for me? 13:30 chris_n reva: yes 13:31 chris_n reva: you can always install a virtualmachine and then do an install of Koha on that 13:31 chris_n in that case use either debian or ubuntu 13:31 reva owen: which version of Debian would fit our "server" capacity and Koha 3.0.6 install? chris_n: I think we can expand on the RAM easily enough. 13:31 chris_n and follow the install directions in the INSTALL.debian or INSTALL.ubuntu files included in the tar bal 13:31 chris_n reva: I'd go with the latest stable version of debian 13:32 reva owen: thanks for that. 13:32 reva chris_n: ok; how much should we increase the RAM by? 13:32 chris_n I'd run a full 4GB if your hardware will support it 13:35 reva Ok; chris_n. next question: are there instructions for starting from scratch like we are trying to do? As I had been looking for ready-made solutions, I have not ferretted out the manuals for doing it from scratch. 13:36 reva owen: would it involve a lot of script knowledge to do this? I kind of know UNIX command line interrface from my days at the University (that really dates me), but forget script, etc. 13:38 chris_n reva: follow the install directions in the INSTALL.debian or INSTALL.ubuntu files included in the tar ball 13:42 reva chris_n: you mean when I download from Debian from their site, or the Kyle Hall provided appliance. In the latter case, does it allow for me to ignore the 3.0.2 included in the tarball and download and install 3.0.6? Or the tarball just installs everything w/o no customization? 13:42 reva chris_n: Or, is the virtual Debian I download a tarball file? 13:43 chris_n reva: the INSTALL files will be in the 3.0.6 tar ball you download from downloads.koha-commuinity.org 13:44 reva Oh, that solves the riddle. Thanks chris_n. 13:44 chris_n so get your virtualmachine setup and then download the tar ball, extract, and read the appropriate INSTALL file 13:45 chris_n ahh... you'll need to download the iso image of debian from the debian site 13:45 reva chris_n:Great. so the instructions for all the steps are also in the community site, correct? 13:45 chris_n when you install the virtualmachine software you can point it to that iso to have it install debian 13:45 chris_n then do the koha tar ball 13:46 chris_n reva: there are many tutorials for installing koha; some of them are referenced on the community site 13:47 reva christ_n: Ok, I will burn that on to a dvd RW disk, correct? Which virtual machine software do you recommend? VMWare or Virtual Box? Ok, got that about the instruction manual. (New to virtual anything here, so the very basic questions. Pardon me.) 13:50 chris_n I have used Virtual Box some, but cannot comment on which is best due to limited experience 13:50 chris_n here is a tutorial for ubuntu, which is very nearly the same as debian: http://www.blazingmoon.org/guides/k3-on-u810-1.html 13:50 chris_n also, you don't need to burn the iso, the virtual machine will mount it in file form 13:51 reva chris_n: thanks. and thanks for the tutorial link also. Ok so it can reside on the hard drive on our "server"? 13:52 reva chirs_n: our standards officer who doubles as our resident IT person also has some experience in Virtual Box. So that should work. 13:53 chris_n reva: yes on the hard drive question 13:54 reva chris_n: another very very basic question: what does go into production mean, when you are installing a Library Management system? Does it mean that you are installing and building a real database in it for real use? 13:55 chris_n yes 13:55 reva chris_n: got that on production. It seemed like an expression frm manufactory, that's all. 13:58 reva chris_n and owen: ok, will be starting on this by tomorrow. Will get back here as I encounter mystery. (or is it for sorcery help as Ubuntu site has it?):) 13:59 reva chris_n and owen: thanks for your patience and kind help. 13:59 chris_n reva: np, glad to help 14:13 Elwell right, stabbing-over-IP for the next person who writes bad POD :-) 14:19 chris_n Elwell++ 14:23 wizzyrea_robbed hey there 14:23 wizzyrea_robbed I have a strange favor to ask 14:24 wizzyrea_robbed does anybody have scrollback and tell me what time "wizzyrea" went offline 14:24 jdavidb I'll check the logs, wizzyrea 14:24 wizzyrea_robbed thanks :) 14:24 owen wizzyrea_robbed: Not literally robbed I hope?! 14:24 chris_n robbed??!! 14:24 wizzyrea_robbed yea, literally 14:24 wizzyrea_robbed but 14:24 gmcharlt :( 14:24 chris_n home or library 14:25 wizzyrea_robbed my comp was on IRC 14:25 wizzyrea_robbed at NEKLS 14:25 wizzyrea_robbed so we know when they unplugged my computer 14:25 wizzyrea_robbed :) 14:25 * wizzyrea_robbed has been through this before. 14:26 wizzyrea_robbed oh do the logs show disconnects? 14:26 wizzyrea_robbed I could just go look 14:26 chris_n yes 14:27 jdavidb yep. 03:40 UTC on 6 June. (It's currently 14:29 UTC, if that helps you with time calculations) 14:27 jdavidb That'd be..uhm...23:40 CT on the 5th. 14:27 jdavidb er..22:40. 14:29 schuster Talk about digital investigation! Too bad it wasn't video chat you could have gotten the culprit! 14:29 jdavidb Did they take a bunch of stuff, wizzyrea, or was it a snatch-and-grab-what-was-handy? 14:33 wizzyrea_robbed oh yea 14:33 wizzyrea_robbed they took lots of stuff 14:33 wizzyrea_robbed practically everybody's laptop, my new iMac 14:34 wizzyrea_robbed the old iMac on the tech's desk 14:34 wizzyrea_robbed our loanable Wii 14:34 wizzyrea_robbed projectors 14:34 * jdavidb is glad that NEKLS is not self-hosted, then... 14:34 wizzyrea_robbed nah, they didnt' steal any of the servers 14:34 wizzyrea_robbed too heavy 14:35 wizzyrea_robbed only stuff that would be easy to pawn 14:36 jdavidb ugh. 14:39 wizzyrea_robbed heh yea 15:33 kf bye all 15:34 chris_n by kf 15:34 chris_n bye even 15:34 kf :) 15:43 wizzyrea_robbed gah changing all of your passwords sucks. 15:45 rhcl wizzy: is there anything we can do to help? 15:45 rhcl Can you borrow enough computers from your branches to get by for a while? 15:47 wizzyrea_robbed well, we are only staff 15:47 wizzyrea_robbed I appreciate the offer, but I think we're going to be ok 15:48 wizzyrea_robbed we have a lab full of computers 15:48 rhcl ah 15:49 wizzyrea_robbed sucky, PC computers, but they work 15:50 wizzyrea_robbed most of our stuff is in the cloud now anyway 15:53 jwagner_meeting wizzyrea_robbed, what a rotten way to start the week :-( 15:55 wizzyrea_robbed ya, it really is 15:56 wizzyrea_robbed though thanks to IRC we can pinpoint and prove when the robbery happened 15:56 wizzyrea_robbed :) 15:56 wizzyrea_robbed so that's a silver lining 15:56 wizzyrea_robbed there may be new mac hardware this week, that's a silver lining 16:29 * wizzyrea_robbed mutters 16:29 wizzyrea_robbed I had such grand plans for this day 16:29 * jdavidb mumbles. 16:34 * chris_n suggests a laptop lock 16:35 chris_n something like: http://us.kensington.com/html/11204.html 16:52 wizzyrea_robbed yea, I can appreciate a good laptop lock 16:57 wizzyrea_robbed ok back later 17:01 owen Speaking of laptops, I'm considering investing in an inexpensive PC laptop to install Linux on for Koha dev. Anyone know if I should be looking at anything in particular? 17:12 brendan so munin has OPS now - I wonder if that means munin will start kicking people with roulette 17:12 brendan @roulette 17:12 munin brendan: *click* 17:13 owen He does, jdavidb can tell you 17:41 rhcl owen: I have Ubuntu remix running quite happily on a Compaq Mini 110 and a Dell Mini 10v netbook. The wireless connection even works better than on XP. (Dual-boot). 17:41 jwagner gmcharlt, online? 17:41 gmcharlt jwagner: no, on a chair :) 17:42 gmcharlt what's up? 17:42 jwagner Bug 3344 says you put preliminary patches for it and 4224 on your git repo -- did these ever get finished & pushed to head? 17:42 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3344 critical, P5, ---, gmcharlt, ASSIGNED, Hold priority list needs additional status for items assigned but not waiting 17:44 gmcharlt jwagner: AFAIK, the prelimiary stuff is OK to push, so I'll do so 17:44 gmcharlt NEKLS has been looking at those 17:44 jwagner OK, thanks. 17:44 wizzyrea_mib I can confirm that the changes there were good 17:51 jdavidb @roulette 17:51 * munin reloads and spins the chambers. 17:51 jdavidb woo hoo! 17:53 jdavidb owen: in re: laptops, I specifically *don't* suggest an Asus eeePC 900 as a dev platform. I got Koha breathing on it once, mostly to see if I could. There was a fair bit of pain and suffering involved, and it was slow as Christmas. 17:57 jwagner gmcharlt, how about Bug 3536? It says patches were sent in December, creating a syspref homeorholdingbranch, but in current head, that syspref says it will be removed soon. 17:57 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3536 blocker, PATCH-Sent, ---, chris, ASSIGNED, Checked In item requiring transfer does not consistently trigger transfer prompt 17:58 * jdavidb waves to brendan 17:58 brendan hi 18:00 brendan chris_n++ 18:00 brendan ;) 18:00 jdavidb chris_n++ 18:00 * chris_n trolls for karma ;-) 18:00 brendan @karma chris_n 18:00 munin brendan: Karma for "chris_n" has been increased 60 times and decreased 0 times for a total karma of 60. 18:00 brendan ah that's a nice number 18:00 chris_n @karma fbcit 18:00 munin chris_n: Karma for "fbcit" has been increased 27 times and decreased 0 times for a total karma of 27. 18:01 chris_n ^^ used to be me as well 18:01 gmcharlt jwagner: homeorholdbrach will have to stay in for 3.2 18:02 jwagner Couldn't tell from the bug report -- was the patch in 3536 pushed to head? 18:04 tomascohen hi everyone, we're trying to figure out a strange behaviour en circulation 18:05 tomascohen has anyone been involved in IsMemberBlocked 18:05 tomascohen ?? 18:06 sekjal gmcharlt: is there particular difficulty replacing references to HomeOrHoldingBranch with ones to CircControl? 18:07 gmcharlt sekjal: yes - ensuring that sufficient testing gets done to avoid unexpected chagnes to effective circ poicy during upgrade 18:09 sekjal gmcharlt: ah, okay. 18:21 joetho owen- I like ubuntu remix too, but it is customized for mini laptops (mine is an asus 1000he).
