07:05 cait           hi rangi
07:05 rangi          hi cait
07:04 cait           morning #koha
04:36 eythian        (as an estimate)
04:36 eythian        that'll do
04:36 eythian        ah, it claims 1460
04:33 eythian        trying to see if I can convince LWC to tell me
04:33 eythian        what's the current best-guess as to the number of libraries with Koha?
04:29 eythian        OK ta
04:27 rangi          remind me at work
04:27 rangi          that ppl sent me for kohacon09
04:26 rangi          china, france, samoa, croatia
04:26 rangi          I have a bunch
04:07 eythian        (koha in the photo isn't important, just the books and stuff)
04:06 eythian        does anyone have any photos of libraries running Koha that I can steal for a presentation? I just need one or two good pictures.
02:07 oleonard       Modal cart using jQueryUI. That's as much as works at the moment, but proof of concept.
02:06 oleonard       Here's what I wanted to try: http://screencast.com/t/2HBAOANkC
01:55 eythian        those old mystic chinese people in those shops never seem to be very specific with their rules.
01:53 * oleonard     wonders what percentage of contaminants is required to make water safe for mogwai consumption
01:53 jcamins_away   Nifty!
01:53 wahanui        First of all, keep jcamins_away out of the light, he hates bright light, especially sunlight, it'll kill him. Second, don't give him any water, not even to drink. But the most important rule, the rule you can never forget, no matter how much he cries, no matter how much he begs, never feed him after midnight.
01:53 jcamins_away   gremlins?
01:49 oleonard       Nice.
01:48 eythian        heh
01:48 wahanui        First of all, keep eythian out of the light, he hates bright light, especially sunlight, it'll kill him. Second, don't give him any water, not even to drink. But the most important rule, the rule you can never forget, no matter how much he cries, no matter how much he begs, never feed him after midnight.
01:48 eythian        gremlins?
01:48 wahanui        okay, eythian.
01:48 eythian        no, wahanui, gremlins is <reply>First of all, keep $who out of the light, he hates bright light, especially sunlight, it'll kill him. Second, don't give him any water, not even to drink.

01:46 jcamins_away   Gremlins?
01:41 wahanui        OK, eythian.
01:41 eythian        wahanui: gremlins is <reply>First of all, keep him out of the light, he hates bright light, especially sunlight, it'll kill him.

01:24 oleonard       Gremlins.
01:23 oleonard       Oh wait, now it's working.
01:22 jcamins_away   Does mybranch already exist?
01:22 jcamins_away   I just did that a few minutes ago.
01:19 oleonard       Can I not check out a new branch based on a remote one with the same syntax? git checkout -b mybranch remote/branchname ?
01:18 jcamins_away   Uh-oh.
01:17 * oleonard     is now wondering why he can't check out one of his remote branches
01:17 oleonard       But I wanted to test something, so I thought I'd tinker a bit
01:17 oleonard       I have a grand plan for a restructuring of the OPAC templates, one which would require many hours of work I'm not getting paid to do
01:16 jcamins_away   :)
01:16 jcamins_away   oleonard: what are you tinkering on?
01:16 eythian        crap, lunch ordered and I forgot about it. bbiab
01:16 eythian        nice of it.
01:16 eythian        curiously, git bz must have seen that it wasn't there, and inserted the URL, too.
01:15 eythian        )
01:15 eythian        (which is why I put Bug .... - ... at the top, I thought you hadn't.
01:14 eythian        yeah, but when I signed off, git stripped it out.
01:14 jcamins_away   Hmm... I just did what I thought chris_n said to.
01:14 eythian        (the other reason being I just think it doesn't look nice :)
01:14 eythian        ah, another reason to not use [BZ...] for bugs, it's automatically stripped out sometimes by git.
01:10 jcamins_away   Definitely not a usual time for cait.
01:10 eythian        bye cait
01:10 jcamins_away   oleonard: pretty much every time is usual for me.
01:10 eythian        hi cait
01:09 oleonard       I don't know whether this is a usual time for you jcamins_away :)
01:08 oleonard       Yup. Had a free moment and felt like tinkering.
01:07 jcamins_away   oleonard: an unusual time for you to be around, isn't it?
01:06 huginn         New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 7216] koha-restore doesn't set HOME <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7216>
00:58 eythian        sweet. Me too :)
00:57 * jcamins_away returns to what he's supposed to be doing.
00:57 jcamins_away   Done.
00:53 eythian        done the dup part already
00:53 * jcamins_away will let you mark yours as a duplicate while he sends the patch.
00:52 eythian        haha
00:52 eythian        (should be a one-liner, I just have too much stuff to do in the short term.)
00:52 huginn         04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7216 normal, P5 - low, ---, robin, NEW , koha-restore doesn't set HOME
00:52 jcamins_away   Also bug 7216.
00:52 eythian        patches welcome ;)
00:52 huginn         04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7217 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, robin, NEW , koha-restore doesn't correctly configure the home dir
00:52 eythian        jcamins_away: Bug 7217
00:52 eythian        jcamins_away: not really, no. Our config between staging and prod is different enough that it's too much trouble.
00:50 jcamins_away   I guess you don't use koha-restore much? :)
00:49 eythian        no worries
00:48 jcamins_away   Thanks.
00:46 eythian        and then just restart all the services so they're not confused.
00:46 eythian        or use vipw :)
00:46 eythian        you may also need to stop apache
00:46 eythian        (and start it when you're done)
00:46 eythian        ah, sudo /etc/init.d/koha-common stop
00:45 jcamins_away   "user demo-koha is currently logged in."
00:45 jcamins_away   Bother.
00:45 eythian        or vipw
00:45 eythian        usermod -d /var/lib/koha/$name $name-koha should do it
00:44 jcamins_away   usermod -d?
00:44 jcamins_away   Now, how do I change the home for an existing user?
00:44 eythian        well, good to know :)
00:44 eythian        cool :)
00:44 jcamins_away   Right.
00:43 eythian        ah, it doesn't set the $HOME like koha-create does?
00:43 jcamins_away   Bug in koha-restore.
00:43 jcamins_away   Bingo!
00:42 eythian        maybe $HOME of $name-koha isn't readable by the $name-koha user on your system
00:42 eythian        if you test this, make sure you start as root and use sudo in a similar fashion to however you're doing it. It's likely a subtle environment thing.
00:42 jcamins_away   Well, that's there.
00:41 eythian        so that it's no longer root, but the home dir of $name-koha
00:41 eythian        the -H updates $HOME
00:41 eythian        /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl $@
00:41 eythian        KOHA_CONF="/etc/koha/sites/$name/koha-conf.xml" \
00:41 eythian        env PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib \
00:41 eythian        sudo -u "$name-koha" -H \
00:40 eythian        oh, I just remembered how I fixed it:
00:40 eythian        To start with, I'd write a test script that creates a temp dir, and see if that fails to remove the dir. From there, you can trace it easier.
00:39 eythian        that may or may not be what you're seeing though, I'm quite sure I fixed that particular case.
00:39 jcamins_away   Hmmm... how does one fix that?
00:39 eythian        *however ~ was /root
00:38 eythian        The problem then was that the File::Temp code would chdir to ~ before deleting, however ~ was root, but the process wasn't running as root, so it failed.
00:38 eythian        we usually saw it as the /tmp space running out
00:37 jcamins_away   And, sure enough, it took about a month for me to notice the problem.
00:37 eythian        OK, so then quite a bit shorter :)
00:36 jcamins_away   I'm rebuilding at a rate of 12 times/hour for... four instances..
00:36 eythian        more if you have more than one site on that host, so rebuild zebra happens more often.
00:35 eythian        at a rate of 4 per hour, ~8,000 hours.
00:34 jcamins_away   So... how long does it take for 32k entries to be created?
00:31 eythian        I'd clean out /tmp, then at least it'll be easier to diagnose :)
00:31 eythian        so maybe it's similar-but-different
00:30 eythian        that said, my servers aren't getting it now
00:30 eythian        but, it was prone to returning
00:30 jcamins_away   Well, it seems to be back?
00:30 jcamins_away   Oh.
00:30 eythian        I thought I fixed it in 3.2 days
00:30 jcamins_away   It took this error several weeks to show up.
00:29 jcamins_away   This isn't latest master.
00:29 eythian        I thought I'd finally nailed it though, but maybe not...
00:29 eythian        not readable by non-root
00:29 eythian        rather
00:29 eythian        there is/was a bug that I kept fixing and it kept coming back that caused rebuild_zebra to refuse to delete stuff from /tmp if ~root is not writable.
00:29 jcamins_away   I guess you've never seen this before?
00:29 jcamins_away   Which is running only from koha-rebuild-zebra.
00:29 jcamins_away   They're all from rebuild_zebra.
00:28 eythian        that's probably it
00:28 eythian        hmm
00:28 eythian        ah
00:28 jcamins_away   And I can confirm, there are approximately an absurd number of directories in /tmp
00:28 eythian        that's a new one
00:28 eythian        tjat
00:27 jcamins_away   I'm about to inspect that line in rebuild_zebra.
00:27 jcamins_away   I'm getting that error from koha-rebuild-zebra.
00:27 jcamins_away   http://paste.koha-community.org/113
00:26 jcamins_away   (pasting it)
00:26 eythian        OK...
00:26 jcamins_away   eythian: I have a really weird error.
00:11 eythian        good luck
00:10 Junie          Thanks again and have a great day
00:10 Junie          I did look at the wiki and did not find anything. I will look again and will try the forum
00:10 eythian        no problem
00:10 Junie          Thank you for your kind help
00:09 eythian        (I don't usually deal with that aspect of hardware, so don't have a lot to contribue :)
00:09 eythian        for printers, I'm not really sure, but it uses firefox to do the printing, so anything that works with that. You might want to ask on the koha mailing list for recommendations if the wiki doesn't help.
00:08 eythian        I'm not really sure, but have a look at http://wiki.koha-community.org - there might be stuff there. Basically, for scanners, anything that acts like a keyboard ("keyboard wedge" they're sometimes called.) This is (afaik) most of them.
00:08 Junie          like barcode scanner and printers
00:07 Junie          do you know where I can find a list of recomended hardware that works with Koha?
00:07 Junie          Thank you
00:05 eythian        you are, though it's not terribly busy on a Saturday.
00:05 Junie          I am trying to find a list of recomended hardware: scanner, Printers etc that should be used with Koha. am I in the correct Chat?
00:04 Junie          Good day everyone
