00:21 paul_p    chris ?
00:27 chris     sorry was talking, yes?
00:31 chris     ive printed those emails, ... so you can grab them from my desk
00:59 paul_p    chris, do you have received the 2nd boarding pass ?
00:59 chris     yep, printed off
00:59 chris     at my desk
00:59 paul_p    ok, coming to get it, thx
01:17 paul_p    chris, http://www.maitre-eolas.fr/post/2010/10/31/Du-rugby-comme-on-l-aime could be interesting ;-)
01:19 chris     :)
01:19 rach      hello
01:19 robin     paul_p: but it's all written in funny moon words :)
01:20 russ      paul_p: that is an epic try
01:21 paul_p    robin, lol ;-) it's just a rugby game that was ended ... if the yellow team (that was winning) shoot the ball outside of the field. but ... a 3rd try could be scored, giving them the "bonus point" for 3 try...
01:21 paul_p    and they did
01:21 paul_p    yep, epic is the word !
01:21 * rach    wonders how many people are still in town hacking?
01:22 paul_p    ian, hdl, me & mason

01:45 paul_p    richard, thanks
01:57 rach      Cool paul
02:01 sekjal    got an initial .png of the C4 Perl interdependencies
02:01 sekjal    want to share, but it's too kinda huge
02:02 robin     sekjal: can you output as PDF?
02:02 sekjal    will try that instead
02:02 robin     also more likely to be useful with scaling
02:04 sekjal    much better
02:04 sekjal    http://174.143.236.27/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/C4dep-2.pdf
02:05 gmcharlt  wheeee!
02:05 gmcharlt  sekjal++
02:05 * robin   notes that C4::ClassSortRoutine 'use's itself.
02:06 sekjal    some of the self-deps are because of POD
02:06 robin     oh ah
02:06 sekjal    my script isn't smart enough to know when to ignore 'use C4::<blah>' when it's in the doc
02:07 jcamins   That's terrifying.
02:07 sekjal    218 files
02:07 sekjal    350 something edges
02:07 robin     if you want to make a more awesome one, have one that figures out which dependencies aren't actually used by the code :)
02:08 sekjal    perhaps I can play with that on the plane
02:08 robin     :)
02:08 chris     gmcharlt: did you see this? http://git.catalyst.net.nz/gw?p=koha.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/git-hooks
02:08 chris     the last 2 commits
02:08 sekjal    I'd thought it would be readable enough for a person to find cycles, but that would be more work than writing another script
02:09 gmcharlt  chris: looks good
02:09 chris     it mostly even works
02:09 gmcharlt  a pre-commit hook that runs the entire test suite would be nice, if too impratical to actually use
02:10 chris     ahh yeah thats what i started with
02:10 chris     this one will run any tests that start with 00
02:10 chris     which at this point is just the one test
02:10 chris     but any we deem critical, if you name them 00-something.t
02:10 chris     they will get run
02:12 gmcharlt  sekjal: you may find this of interest for mark II: http://search.cpan.org/~adamk/PPI-1.213/lib/PPI.pm
02:14 sekjal    gmcharlt: very promising, thank you
02:15 sekjal    my script to generate the .dot file this is built from doesn't use many modules (just GetOpt::Long)
02:16 sekjal    I could try to do more with ranking, too, though that would involve changing it to a hash-based implementation, likely
02:18 sekjal    okay, with that small success under my belt, time to go out and enjoy the sunshine
02:19 chris     :)
02:20 sekjal    oh, that was disappointing.... I wanted to say hi to pianohack
02:20 sekjal    oh well
02:20 sekjal    time to see what I can see up Mt. Victoria
02:20 robin     sekjal: a lot, generally
02:21 sekjal    is the Weathertop site easy to find?
02:21 robin     http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Wellington_City_Night.jpg <-- this is from Mt Vic
02:21 robin     not sure, never actually looked, despite the fact that I live half way up the street that it's apparently at the top of.
02:21 jcamins   Should the non-English SQL files be in English?
02:22 jcamins   That seems... odd.
02:23 chris     which file?
02:23 jcamins   The French MARC21 framework.
02:24 chris     ah yes
02:24 chris     because no one in france uses MARC21
02:24 chris     they didnt bother to translate it
02:24 jcamins   Ah.
02:24 jcamins   So that's okay then.
02:24 chris     i think for fr-CA
02:24 pastebot  "sekjal" at 202.78.240.10 pasted "My rather naive code for generating the graph's .dot file source" (124 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/87
02:24 chris     it would need to be translated
02:25 robin     they use FRAC, named after BSG.
02:25 robin     sekjal: use strict; use warnings; :)
02:25 jcamins   Phooey, that means I need to find out how to say "Fussnote zu biografischen oder historischen Daten" in French.
02:25 sekjal    robin: yeah, yeah
02:26 jcamins   chris: fr-CA is missing from my git clone.
02:26 sekjal    also got to get around the hardcoding of the $dir
02:26 jcamins   Is this a problem?
02:27 sekjal    alright, I'm out.  good <localtime>, #koha
02:27 chris     nope, they just havent ever got round to translating
02:28 paul_p    jcamins, I confirm what chris says, except that a few marc21 libraries exist in France. At least one of them is looking at Koha atm. so we could be interesed in marc21 in french next year (not before, and maybe in 2012, it's a long term project)
02:29 jcamins   paul_p: if I don't have to figure out what the 545 field is called in French, I see that as a good thing. ;)
02:29 jcamins   Argh! My helpful cheatsheet for Polish doesn't list 545.
02:30 ray       good day! can a user print card catalogs using koha?
02:31 jcamins   chris: if I can't translate into Polish, is it better to leave it in English, or not add it to the framework?
02:31 chris     the former
02:31 jcamins   Okay, that's what I thought.
02:32 jcamins   Guess I don't need to worry about Russian or Ukrainian.
02:38 jcamins   chris: if I want to rebase on master before I commit my changes, I can run git stash && git rebase && git stash pop?
02:38 jcamins   I always get confused by this.
02:39 chris     yes you can
02:39 chris     git stash
02:39 chris     git rebase
02:39 chris     git stash apply
02:39 jcamins   Ah, git stash apply.
02:40 robin     pop == apply
02:40 chris     apply takes an argument, you can have lots of things stashed
02:40 chris     but if you leave the argument off its the same as pop
02:40 jcamins   Ah.
02:41 robin     not according to the docs :)
02:41 robin     git stash ( pop | apply ) [--index] [-q|--quiet] [<stash>]
02:41 robin     /pedantic
02:41 chris     Like pop, but do not remove the state from the stash list.
02:41 chris     its not the same
02:42 chris     /pedantic more
02:42 robin     I would have gotten away with it too, if not for your pesky reading!
02:42 chris     hehe
02:43 jcamins   How do I find out what language it is, so I can put the correct label in for the German?
02:44 jcamins   Oh, I guess we don't do that.
02:44 jcamins   We really should.
02:44 chris     find uot what language what is?
02:44 jcamins   What language the database is in.
02:45 jcamins   I'm writing the patch for bug 5226

02:45 chris     ah ok
02:45 jcamins   The label for German is actually translated.
02:48 jcamins   Ooh, bug in systempreferences.pl.
02:49 jcamins   If you change something and hit "Save," it refreshes to the wrong screen.
02:58 jcamins   My patch is corrupted, and I can't figure out why.
02:59 jcamins   There's a line "\ No newline at end of file"
03:01 robin     jcamins: that's fine
03:01 robin     it just means that there's no newline at the end of the file
03:01 jcamins   Okay.
03:01 jcamins   I can ignore it then?
03:01 robin     it's a hint to the patch system
03:01 robin     yep

03:02 jcamins   Hm.
03:03 jcamins   The indent is messed up on this patch. Do I need to resend?
03:03 chris     2 branches waiting for colin to do QA on now

03:13 jcamins   Is there any way to remove patches from a branch?
03:13 robin     jcamins: revert?
03:13 robin     it applies a reverse patch
03:14 jcamins   Will it work for patches in the middle of the history?
03:14 robin     yep
03:14 jcamins   Actually, better idea: I'll cherry-pick the patches I want into a new branch.
03:14 robin     that's also an option :)
03:14 robin     although I'd usually just revert
03:15 robin     given I squash them before I upstream anyway, the pair vanish

11:19 markk     good morning all
11:23 markk     i'm a little confused about the Barcode in koha ... should it auto-increment right as stated? bcuz when i add an item it gives me the same barcode starting with 1 and it doesn't increment!! in this case i get an error that the barcode is already in use!! should i edit it manually every time i insert a new item?
11:44 wasabi    markk: depends on your barcode syspref,
11:45 wasabi    is it set to auto-incr, etc…
11:45 wasabi    http://www.randombugs.com/linux/mysql-postgresql-benchmarks.html
11:45 markk     its set to hbyymmincr
11:48 wasabi    http://www.wikivs.com/wiki/MySQL_vs_PostgreSQL
11:49 wasabi    hmm, pass then
11:49 markk     :) 10x for ur help
11:50 wasabi    np, try upgrading to 3.2 , see if the problem remains
11:51 markk     i have a 3.2 in virtual .. i'll give it a try
11:54 wasabi    nice one ;)
12:01 markk     in 3.2 there's another weird thing happening ... if i add the barcode to an item and save, a box appears above with the items in it ... in the column entitled <Total Holds> it contains THE barcode! is it normal ? plus the barcode number doesn't increment upon adding a new item too !!
12:05 jcamins   Good morning, #koha
12:05 markk     good morning jcamins
12:08 owen      paul_p++ # for suggesting we ditch YUI
12:12 markk     owen, jcamins : do you have any idea about the auto-increment of the barcode behaving weirdly?
12:13 markk     not incrementing while adding new item to be more specific
12:13 jcamins   markk: there's a syspref to enable auto-increment.
12:13 markk     yes i set it to hbyymmincr
12:13 markk     in 3.0.6
12:13 owen      markk: So when you're populating the "add item" form the auto-incremented barcode doesn't appear in the barcode field when you click it?
12:13 markk     and test it in 3.2 with hbyymmincr and 1-2-3
12:14 markk     it appears in the text box, but if i already added an item with barcode 1, the new one takes 1 as well as its barcode
12:15 markk     in 3.0.6 it give an error about duplicate barcode
12:15 markk     in 3.2 it just add it
12:16 kmkale    hi all
12:16 jcamins   Hello.
12:16 kmkale    hi jcamins
12:20 owen      markk: I just tested adding items in 3.0.x with autobarcode set to hbyymmincr
12:21 owen      The first item I added got the barcode "APL10110001"
12:21 owen      The second one I added got "APL10111001"
12:23 markk     mmmm so should the issue reside in the mysql configuration? should the mysql auto-increment the value or the "barcodesGenerator.pl"/ "additem.pl"  ?
12:24 owen      I don't think anything happens in mysql
12:24 owen      The plugin script generates the next value, and Javascript populates the form field
12:24 owen      AFAIK
12:25 markk     on what platform are you running koha?
12:29 owen      Ubuntu
12:29 owen      10.04 LTS (via VirtualBox)
12:30 markk     is it from the kohalivecd ?
12:30 owen      No
12:34 chris_n   ditch_yui++ # /me jumps on the bandwagon
12:34 jcamins   I don't know anything about it, but it sounds like a good thing.
12:34 chris_n   this is one bandwagon you want to be on jcamins... believe me
12:34 owen      The alternative, upgrading YUI, would probably be harder
12:34 owen      However, I think we should still stick with the YUI grid
12:35 chris_n   owen: what do you think about my suggestion regarding a fail over mechanism if we keep the external source option?
12:35 markk     seems like the kohalivecd have a problem with barcode auto-increment .. i tried it in koha 3.0.6 that i installed on ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron and it works perfectly!!
12:35 owen      I think the most we can expect for jquery is a CDN source for the core jquery library, and that's tiny
12:36 owen      I don't think we need to provide an external source.
12:36 chris_n   owen: if we keep any aspect of yui, however, such a mechanism would be nice for times when the source was unavailable for whatever reason
12:37 owen      markk: Are you clicking in the barcode field to populate it?
12:37 markk     owen: yep
12:39 jcamins   owen: what does the YUI grid offer that jquery (or other things) do not?
12:40 owen      The YUI grid system is all CSS. jquery is all javascript. So there's no functional intersection
12:40 jcamins   Ah.
12:44 owen      chris_n: Maybe I spoke to soon about the CDN. I wasn't considering the JqueryUI dependencies.
12:49 * owen    starts looking for where in Koha we can use JqueryUI's "explode" effect...
12:50 jcamins   "explode" effect?
12:50 owen      http://jqueryui.com/demos/effect/
12:50 jcamins   Wow!
12:50 jcamins   That's nifty!
13:02 owen      I think this is really nifty, an upcoming feature in jqueryUI: http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/branches/labs/fg-menu/index.html
13:02 owen      Check out the ipod-style menu w/breadcrumb
13:03 owen      Looks like that's scheduled for jqueryUI version 1.9, and they're on 1.8.5 now. That's good news for us.
13:11 owen      Hi cait, back home?
13:11 cait      yep
13:11 cait      but suitcase not
13:11 cait      :(
13:12 owen      On its way, I hope?
13:12 cait      I have no idea
13:12 cait      I have a number I can call later
13:13 cait      sorry, I am sooo tired and need a shower
13:15 owen      Then you're in the wrong place :)
13:15 cait      yep, but they gave me a number and a link - hope to get information about suitcase
13:17 cait      TRACING CONTINUES. PLEASE CHECK BACK LATER
13:18 cait      :(
13:23 * cait    wishes she was still in NZ
13:38 kmkale    bye all
13:39 jcamins   cait!
13:39 jcamins   You made it back to Germany!
13:39 jcamins   Welcome back to Germany. ;)
13:42 reva      hi good morning. I have a couple of questions regarding import/export. When I save bib records from online catalogs, they have different file extensions: .cgi, .do and even .txt (this .txt is a little different as it is eye-readable only partially). Koha imports them fine and the records are proper good ones.
13:43 reva      But I have to save and import each record by itself. Is there a way to append the different file types together and do them in batches?
13:44 reva      I mean stage and import them in batches.
13:45 cait      hi jcamins and thx :)
13:46 gmcharlt  reva: if you have access to a linux server, you can use the cat command to put them together
13:47 jcamins   cait: how was your trip?
13:47 jcamins   I mean, travel-wise.
13:47 jcamins   I already know that NZ was awesome.
13:47 cait      yep, nz was awesome
13:47 cait      the travel back was very good, until I arrived in zürich at baggage claim
13:48 cait      I had a feeling it had been to smooth until then :(
13:48 reva      Thanks, gmcharlt. I know to catanate. But do I have to con catanate  and pipe the files by file types?
13:48 gmcharlt  if the files are all actually MARC blog files, you can just put them all together
13:48 reva      Because some of them are .cgi and some .do.
13:49 jcamins   cait: I'm sure they'll find your luggage and send it to you.
13:49 jcamins   If you're lucky they'll even do that within a few days.
13:49 reva      I do not know what MARc blog files are. These come from various online catalogs where they let you save them as Raw MARC.
13:49 cait      reva: I think you can ignore the file endings, they are not really correct
13:49 jcamins   And not tell you that it'll be delivered at 2 in the morning and then decide not to deliver it after all.
13:50 cait      jcamins: that's the problem - near to all my clothes are in there and I have a presentation on thursday :(
13:50 jcamins   Oh no!
13:50 reva      Ok. Thanks cait.(FYI, the .sav ones do not even stage; but the other extensions do fine.)
13:50 cait      and a library visiting for a presentation on friday
13:51 * owen    knows jcamins' 2AM comment to be true from experience
13:51 jcamins   Do you know anyone who wears the same size clothes you do?
13:51 cait      noe
13:51 cait      nope
13:51 jcamins   That's too bad.
13:51 cait      and go to the city and buy new things is not an option, bcause of my size :(
13:53 reva      There is a Koha 3.2 Live CD out and I am hoping to install it and transfer our bib and item records into it. Could anyone point me to a link where there are instructions (command line is fine) for the backup/export and import records into the upgraded version?
13:53 bigbrovar Hi guys I setup koha 3.0.6 on our school with the aim of getting a hang on koha, marc and LMS generally. I have been able to setup a working koha system now and succesfully migrated 90% of our catalog records into koha. With the release of version 3.2.0 I am considering tiring down all I have done (I have our catalog in marc backed up btw) and setting up a new koha based on 3.2 and on debian (the current 3.06 is running on ubuntu 8.04)
13:57 bigbrovar is 3.2.0 really worth the upgrade? or do I stick to 3.0.6? is it stable enough for production deployment? the idea was to use 3.2.0 for our koha system but I was using 3.0.6 to get a hand on things which I think I have been able to do.
13:57 jcamins   bigbrovar: I would think that 3.2 is worth the upgrade. It will be updated for much longer than 3.0.
13:58 owen      bigbrovar: Libraries have been using 3.2 since even before the official release
13:58 reva      Also, I am trying out installing 3.2 from scratch in Virtual Box. I have used the synaptic package manager and installed mysql server and apache 2 http server. When I do a search for Perl module too many listings come up. Do I pick them all to install? If not which ones do I select?
13:58 bigbrovar Thanks. is there a debian package somewhere I can use or do I have to compile from source? and which debian release is recommended
13:59 jcamins   bigbrovar: there is indeed a package.
13:59 jcamins   I will find the link for you, if someone else doesn't first.
13:59 jcamins   bigbrovar: http://debian.koha-community.org/
14:00 reva      bigbrovar, go to http://mizstik.com/projects/koha-livecd/ for a Live CD of 3.2. He has all the modules compiled and for me it is painless.
14:00 jcamins   bigbrovar: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
14:00 bigbrovar jcamins: awesome
14:00 reva      sorry jcamin. Did not mean to preempt Koha-Community site.:)
14:01 ivanc     hi cait, I'm sorry to read as above ...
14:01 cait      ivanc: at least I am here in time :)
14:01 cait      so, it could be worse.
14:01 ivanc     :)
14:02 reva      In my Virtual Box install, debian boots; but there is a message saying kernel failure. But everything seems to be working fine. Anyone what that could be?
14:05 reva      Can anyone tell me which perl modules I should pick to install? I am using the synaptic package manager.
14:06 jcamins   reva: I would suggest following the installation instructions.
14:07 reva      jcamins, I thought I could first install what the package manager can do, and then use cpan as instructed for the rest.
14:08 owen      reva: I would also suggest following the installation instructions
14:08 jcamins   reva: if you follow the instructions, you will end up with a working Koha installation.
14:09 reva      Ok, so I am not to use the package manager, I see. Will follow instructions. After all it is in Virtual Box and I can learn. Also, is there a link for the commands for backup/export and reimport (into an upgraded Koha) all the bib and item records?
14:27 owen      I would think it would be easier to install 3.0.x on the new system, import the old database, and then upgrade?
14:30 jcamins   owen: wouldn't it work to just import the database, then run the web installer?
14:31 owen      I don't know, I've never done it.
14:31 owen      So: Install 3.2, import the old database, run web installer?
14:32 jcamins   I think so.
14:32 jcamins   I've never done it either, but I think that's what I'd try.
14:50 schuster  I've done that with upgrades of 3.0x - but I am not sure about the transfer from 3.0x - 3.2.
14:50 schuster  Good test though of the "public" upgrade option.
14:51 schuster  Something I need to work on with my "play" system, but haven't had time.
14:51 schuster  owen - I have a question about the new "template::toolkit"
14:52 schuster  How will that impact the current opac layout design?  I'm still playing with the "visual search" with the canned search options, but don't want to get too far into that and find out it won't work with 3.4+
14:52 janPasi   Hi #koha!
14:52 jcamins   schuster: chris has a script that will translate the current template system into Template::Toolkit.
14:53 owen      schuster: It will only impact the current opac design if someone decides to redesign the opac. No one has indicated plans to do so.
15:02 markk     guys .. does anyone know why installing phpmyadmin via synaptic breaks the connection to koha? it autoconfigured the apache and couldn't access the opac nor the staff page!! redid the steps in the INSTALL file about apache configuration but didn't succeed!!
15:03 owen      markk: It probably messed with your apache virtualhosts
15:13 schuster  owen - in your designing process - have you used much creative commons?  I'm trying to think of the best way to "provide attribution" for the photos I want to use with the kids search.
15:14 jcamins   chris_n++ # good ideas
15:14 jcamins   chris_n: don't we already have a policy that only code that people agree is a good idea gets included in master?
15:14 owen      schuster: No I haven't. And "provide attribution" shouldn't be said it quotes, it should be said in a straightforward manner: Provide attribution!
15:15 schuster  I'm going to try and get what I have completed up for you to take a peek at and give some feedback on making it better.  We've built some java around it so that we can get to the local holdings display we are using currently to limit by location.  Sorry - as a Librarian we are all about doing it right.
15:15 owen      schuster: Koha at large uses the "about" page to provide attribution. You might consider setting up a page you can link to
15:15 schuster  Provide attribution!
15:17 schuster  Interesting idea!  I could possibly have an about page for each of the visual page that pretty much mimics the current one with the Attribution under the picture.  Have to play with that and get some feedback...
15:17 schuster  This had stalled a bit we had many other things going on - and the attribution piece had me stuck until I could figure out a way to do it.
15:18 chris_n   jcamins: well... I think a qualified 'yes' is the answer, but a very clear, written restatement will serve to bring about a clearer accountability to that policy
15:18 schuster  With the java snippet we are using to create the location limit we think we can also add a link back to the virtual view - it's crude, but works.
15:19 schuster  hmmm thunder here - hope the UPS's are ready to keep charge!
15:19 jcamins   chris_n: ah. Well, I understood that my code wasn't guaranteed a place in master unless it was good.
15:20 owen      I think in the past we've depended on the common sense of the RM more than anything
15:21 chris_n   jcamins: that is a good understanding and one we all should have and probably stand in need of being reminded of on occasion :-)
15:22 * chris_n hopes this discussion will see good participation *and* be brought to a conclusion
15:23 jcamins   It would be nice if it were easier to figure out what to do with RFCs.
15:42 chris_n   jcamins: yes, RFC101 would be nice
15:52 eternalsw I'm running build_browser_and_cloud and it says it inserts 2 records, but I check the browser table and it's empty.  I am running the mysql database on a different machine.  KOHA_CONF and PERL5LIB are both set properly.  Any ideas?
16:24 reva      hi again, is the 830 (series entry added) display in 3.2. When I used it in 3.0.6, along with the 490 (series statement) it did not display. So had to use the obsolete 440 tag so that I can show the series title.
16:38 reva      Hi I am on the line where I get the key for Index Data. I copied the command exactly as shown; but it is saying cannot write broken pipe. (I have already sudo (actuall su for me) to the root user. Is the command syntax at the end correct?
16:42 gmcharlt  reva: what are you pasting, exactly?
16:45 reva      no I am copuying. But the line looks funny as given towards the end. I cannot paste, as my clipboard is not integrated in the virtual box. (I have not run the guest additons.)
16:45 reva      I meant I am keying the command in, gmcharlt
16:46 reva      I am following the instructions here: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob_plain;f=INSTALL.debian
16:48 jcamins   reva: if you have already su-ed to root, take out the sudo.
16:48 reva      I removed the sudo (this debian does not like sudo at all) since I am already logged in as root. that seems to have done it now
16:48 reva      Thanks:)
16:56 cait      suitcase still not found :(
16:56 cait      going to bed
16:56 cait      good night all
16:57 reva      gmcharlt, when I run this command apt-get install git-core git-email it said that some packages had unmet dependencies and gave the names of the perl modules that are not there in the library.
16:58 reva      After that git clone git://git.koha-community.org/koha.git koha debian says git command not found.
16:59 reva      that last line with the smiley was this command. I think it is because it has double slashes, your chat interpreter thought it was a smiley.
17:00 jcamins   reva: you will need to describe the errors you get in more detail if you want help solving them.
17:00 jcamins   *What* unmet dependencies?
17:03 reva      jcamins: the first command to get Koha apt-get install git-core git-email, these are the unmet dependencies kiberror-perl but it is not installable; libdigest-shal-perl but it is not installable; Recommends: rsync, but it is not installable. E: Broken packages. I have reproduced the error exactly.
17:04 jcamins   reva: and all you have done on this system is step 1.1 and 1.2 from the instructions?
17:05 reva      the first unmet dependency is supposed to be liberror-perl, not kiberror-perl.
17:05 reva      Exactly that is all as far as I got. I am just trying to download koha through the git repository.
17:06 jcamins   And you ran apt-get update?
17:07 reva      Yes, that went fine (after I removed the sudo, as I am logged in as root.)
17:07 jcamins   What version of Debian did you install?
17:08 reva      Infact, apt-get update fetched 181kb of all the security, volatile.
17:08 reva      I am running the debian the stable version 5.06
17:09 jcamins   That's very strange... this worked without any problems for me.
17:10 reva      jcamins, I suppose I could use the tar.gz version and unpack it; but I wanted to do it all through debian.
17:11 jcamins   Try running this command for me: apt-get upgrade && apt-get install git-core git-email
17:11 mib_mike  Hi guys
17:12 jcamins   You don't have to have it run all the upgrades, I'm just curious what it will tell you.
17:12 mib_mike  Is there a method in koha to delete a bibrecord?
17:12 jcamins   mib_mike: yes. In the staff client, find the record, then click the "Edit" button and "Delete Record."
17:12 jcamins   You have to delete all the items first.
17:13 mib_mike  Excellent.  There isn't a "mass delete" though, is there?
17:13 jcamins   I don't think so, no.
17:13 reva      Ok, I will.for the upgrade command I get 0 upgraded and 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.And I get the same errors about unment dependencies.
17:14 mib_mike  O.K. I guess I can look at the existing delete code and roll my own.
17:14 mib_mike  Can anyone explain to me the reasons for the "deletedxxx" databases?
17:14 reva      is your git repository uptodat or has there been anything removed from there recently since you tried the installation, jcamin?
17:15 reva      I meant jcamins, of course.
17:15 jcamins   reva: the problem here is with your installation of Debian.
17:15 jcamins   You still haven't managed to even install git.
17:15 jcamins   Wait.
17:15 jcamins   reva: do you have a working internet connection on your Virtual machine?
17:15 reva      Yes, i know. And the installation went fine for the Debian itself.
17:15 reva      Yes; I have a working internet connection.
17:16 jcamins   Hm.
17:17 jcamins   Try: apt-get install liberror-perl libdigest-sha1-perl
17:17 reva12    you see jcamins, I am now reva12 from the debian
17:18 jcamins   Okay, just checking that wasn't the problem.
17:18 reva12    No, I just let it install the desktop and standard windows and it went through with no complaints. I can log in fine.
17:20 reva12    I can just download the tar.gz from inside here. But is there an extractor in Debian?
17:21 jcamins   tar zxvf $file
17:21 jcamins   But I don't think this is going to solve your problems.
17:22 jcamins   It's worth a try, though.
17:22 reva12    ok, I see I use the command line to extract it. (But it still is puzzling about the git)
17:22 jcamins   The thing is, if you can't install git, you probably can't install other required packages.
17:23 jcamins   At least, that would be my guess.
17:23 reva12    So what could be the problem?
17:24 jcamins   I have no idea.
17:24 jcamins   As I said, when I installed Debian, it just worked for me.
17:24 jcamins   This is a Debian question.
17:24 jcamins   I would see if there's some sort of Debian forum you could ask for advice on.
17:26 reva12    It said "Could not install some packages" maybe the other git files for which the dependencies are there were installed. So I can try going to the next command and see.
17:26 reva12    Ok, I will try the Debian forum also.
17:29 reva12    When I try the next command:  git clone git://git.koha-community.org/koha.git koha, it says git command not found. So it looks like it did not install any of the basic git files.
17:31 reva12    Thanks jcamins. I can try installing the 3.2 Live CD I just downloaded. But I was hoping to learn something.
17:31 jcamins   Maybe the problem is export restrictions?
17:32 jcamins   I noticed what failed is packages for encryption.
17:35 reva12    jcamins: if you are addressing the last two comments to me, it seems to be a perl error module. But you would know best.
17:35 jcamins   reva12: yes, but the module that didn't work is libdigest-sha1-perl.
17:35 jcamins   Something to do with encryption.
17:36 jcamins   I wouldn't have thought there would be a problem in Antigua and Barbuda, but what do I know about these things? ;)
17:36 reva12    Ok, encryption. has it to do with my end of things, I mean if it worked for you. And you also had lenny 5.0.6?
17:37 jcamins   Yeah.
17:37 reva12    We are on British English, could that be? Of course I have no idea what a module on encryption have to do with Antigua and Barbuda downlaods.
17:37 jcamins   No idea.
17:38 reva12    even liberror-perl was not installable, according to the message.
17:39 reva12    so let me download it directly and see if I can do the rest of the install.

17:46 reva12    Now I tried this:  wget http://download.koha-cmmunity.org/koha-3.02.00.tar.gz, it says: unable to resolve download.koha-community.org.
17:47 jcamins   reva12: make sure you're spelling it right.
17:47 jcamins   If you are, the problem is that there's something wrong with your internet connection.
17:48 mib_mike  reva12 did you set up a static IP or a dhcp client to get your ip number?
17:51 reva12    I see I have missed the o in community; I have a sticky keyboard, honest.
17:51 reva12    ok, it is now doing it.
18:00 owen      Hello CGI586, do you have a question about Koha?
18:05 owen      Hello CGI586111, do you have a question about Koha?
18:07 mib_mike  Can anyone explain to me the reasons for the "deletedxxx" databases?
18:07 chris     you mean tables mib_mike ?
18:07 chris     thats because often when people delete things, they delete the wrong things
18:08 chris     and then ask for you to get them back
18:08 mib_mike  So there is an "undelete" function somewhere?
18:08 chris     there was
18:08 chris     but even without it, at least you can get them back from the db
18:08 mib_mike  Thanks, chris
18:09 owen      Hi chris. Did the undelete disappear when MARC arrived? I don't remember it
18:09 chris     round 2.2
18:09 chris     when the catalogue maintenance module got broked
18:09 chris     wouldnt be too hard to bring it back
18:09 chris     its somewhere on my list of things to do
18:10 chris     :)
18:10 mib_mike  Is there any facility to empty the deleted tables to save space?
18:11 chris     nope, you could run some sql to do it if you wanted ... but disk is cheap .. cheaper than someone asking you for that record back 2 hours after you just deleted it :)
18:11 * chris   speaks from experience
18:11 mib_mike  I know the name of that tune.
18:12 chris     if i were going to purge those tables, i would dump them first and save that somewhere
18:12 CGI236    how to
18:12 CGI236    authenticate Koha with Active Directory
18:12 mib_mike  O.K. chris thanks a lot.
18:15 CGI236    how to
18:15 CGI236    authenticate Koha with Active Directory
18:15 CGI236    ???????
18:15 owen      CGI236: If no one has answered your question, it is possible that no one knows the answer
18:16 mib_mike  CGI236 Can you be more specific? Have you read the documentation? What error messages are you getting?
18:17 CGI236    invalid user name and apassword
18:17 CGI236    I installed in VMware:
18:18 CGI236    1. Configured virtual Koha apliance 3.02
18:18 CGI236    2. Windows Server 2003
18:18 CGI236    I installed Active Directory in Windows Server 2003 I created a
18:18 CGI236    domain where I created a user in this domain and want when I login
18:18 CGI236    with this user on Koha http://ip_address:8080 received "invalid
18:18 CGI236    username and password"
18:18 CGI236    http://ip_address
18:18 mib_mike  CGI236 Have you tried to authenticate against Active Directory with an LDAP client?
18:19 CGI236    no
18:20 CGI236    i don't know how to authenticate against Active Directory with an LDAP client
18:20 CGI236    I am a begining
18:20 mib_mike  I haven't setup Active Directory in Koha, but from my experience in other areas, what Active Directory thought of as the username and what I thought of as the username were two different things.
18:21 CGI236    when trying to log the user interface receiving error
18:22 mib_mike  If someone else can confirm that koha uses the LDAP interface of Active Directory, I'd suggest you start with accessing Active Directory from a more transparent LDAP client.
18:22 CGI236    "invalid username and password"
18:23 CGI236    Tuesday, April 8, 2008 : It is a big news for all Koha lovers that now (using Koha 3) it can be linked with your LDAP and Active Directory via the Auth_with_ldap module....
18:24 chris     mib_mike: it does
18:24 mib_mike  See if you can connect to your Active Directory with http://download.cnet.com/LDAP-Browser/3000-2085_4-10072421.html
18:25 CGI236    install ldap-browser.exe in Windows??
18:28 mib_mike  Yes. The ldap-browser is a client to examine your "directory".  You should be able to see better error messages when using it to connect to Active Directory.
18:28 CGI236    i connect without error to Unizeto CERTUM
18:28 mib_mike  Sorry, I don't know what that is.
18:29 CGI236    error 91 can't connect to the ldap server
18:32 mib_mike  O.K. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v2r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.IBMDS.doc_5.2%2Fadmin_gd368.htm
18:32 mib_mike  Not particularly helpful, I suspect your Active Directory is not properly configured to "listen" to LDAP.
18:33 mib_mike  You might do better in an Active Directory support forum.
18:33 mib_mike  Sorry I couldn't be more help.
18:34 CGI236    and how to configure active directory to listen to LDAP?
18:35 mib_mike  No clue, sorry.  I'm a Unix guy.
18:36 CGI236    to configure active directory I use this forum http://www.visualwin.com/AD-Controller/
18:36 CGI236    and this http://www.visualwin.com/New-User-AD/
18:37 mib_mike  try this: http://www.mhsoftware.com/caldemo/manual/en/470.htm

19:31 CGI236    ?
19:39 owen      CGI236: Did you get your authentication issues figured out?
19:42 schuster  During Kohacon10 There was discussion about the ranking system - from the High school that is using Koha
19:42 schuster  http://www.web2learning.net/archives/4261  - will that be included in 3.4?
19:42 schuster  Or has it already been pulled?
19:42 chris     the 5 star ratings?
19:42 chris     if wasabi submits a patch based on master for it, it will go in
19:45 schuster  so do I need to start chanting or sending vibes or...  Oh great wasabi...
19:45 mib_mike  Just upgraded to 3.2 Getting this error on new order in basket Mandatory parameter budget_id missing at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Acquisition.pm line 903.
19:46 mib_mike  Also saw warning "No ACQ framework, using default. You should create a framework with code ACQ, the items framework would be used"
19:46 mib_mike  What's an ACQ framework? Is the use of default framework the cause of the Error?
19:53 chris     hi nengard
19:53 nengard   hiya hiay
19:54 nengard   hiya ;)
19:54 chris     mib_mike: no, it the cause of the error
19:54 chris     its not  i meant
19:54 chris     you can make a ACQ framework, which is a cut down framework, for use just with acquisitions
19:54 chris     but it isnt mandatory
19:56 nengard   when i get home i'm going to have a LOT of email reading to do!
19:57 chris     you sure are
20:01 brendan   heya nengard
20:02 nengard   morning
20:02 brendan   how goes vaca?
20:10 chris     nengard: sync it all to your phone, and read it on the plane
20:10 chris     will kill some time :)
20:10 nengard   don't like reading emails on phone cause i like to be wordy in my replies :)
20:11 nengard   brendan vaca goes well - doing the spa and the wineries today
20:11 chris     well you dont need to reply, i just mark the ones i need to reply to
20:11 chris     and archive the ones i dont
20:11 chris     then i just have a list of ones i have to reply to when i get back to my computer ;)
20:13 nengard   passing wifi to bengard - will be back later
20:17 mib_mike  Thanks again, chris.
