23:55 dcook           And to have incrementalzebra.pl working, you need to set up a cronjob
23:53 dcook           Hmm. I'll have to keep it in the back of my mind
23:43 dcook           What's it caused by?
23:43 jcamins         Annoying, but not disastrous.
23:43 dcook           lol
23:42 wahanui         http://i.imgur.com/hVVuP.jpg
23:42 dcook           No?
23:42 jcamins         That warning is nothing to worry about.
23:40 dcook           I think I'm going to have to buy quite a few thank you beers in October :p
23:39 bag             sorry checked out there for a bit - but eythian is great!
23:39 dcook           Thanks to you too, bag!
23:38 bag             :)
23:38 dcook           My search is finally working now regardless, although I'd hate to ignore any error message...
23:38 dcook           I'll investigate :)
23:38 eythian_        I have no idea what that error means
23:37 dcook           In any case, thanks heaps eythian_ and jcamins!
23:37 dcook           Or maybe they were all indexed. I see a Zebralist post from Fridolyn regarding unknown register type but those had a type code in the warning...
23:33 dcook           At least some records seem to have been indexed though
23:33 dcook           10:26:53-12/02 zebraidx(9184) [warn] Unknown register type:
23:33 dcook           Without a doubt
23:32 eythian_        it'll go back to being mystical soon enough
23:32 dcook           It's very interesting going from front-end support to back-end support. Zebra was always made to seem very mystical, but it's all logic...
23:31 * dcook         is running the re-index now
23:29 dcook           Reasonable advice is reasonable
23:29 eythian_        that's what your problem is. You are best looking at your problem to start with.
23:28 eythian_        More importantly, who owns the lock file and the zebra database files.
23:28 dcook           I'm the owner of the git, but not the dev directory with all the symbolic links
23:26 * dcook         facepalm
23:26 dcook           That...makes more sense, eythian_, lol
23:26 dcook           Ah
23:26 dcook           Just did, and yeah I'm the owner
23:26 eythian_        who owns the lock files that you are getting the errors on?
23:26 bgkriegel       dcook: do an 'ls -l'
23:26 eythian_        why don't you check?
23:26 dcook           Unless he chowned it afterward
23:26 dcook           Well, I am the owner, so maybe he did use my user
23:25 dcook           Hmm
23:24 eythian_        it's just the owner of the files
23:24 eythian_        no
23:24 dcook           When you do the dev install, is your user picked up and written into a config somewhere?
23:23 dcook           I suggested running a dev install, and my boss is the one who did it
23:23 eythian_        what did you do then?
23:23 dcook           I didn't do the dev install though
23:23 eythian_        yeah, often just your own user.
23:23 jcamins         So if the git clone is /home/dcook/kohaclone, it's probably dcook.
23:23 dcook           Hmm
23:23 wahanui         dev install is on, some cataloging already goin, so I guess I;m almost there
23:23 eythian_        oh, dev install
23:23 jcamins         dcook: in a dev install, the koha user is the one that you installed Koha as.
23:22 eythian_        have a look through your users and see if you have one. It's often called koha.
23:22 dcook           bag, the one mentioned in koha-zebra-ctl.sh?
23:22 dcook           And the koha user is which one?
23:22 dcook           Hmm
23:21 eythian_        you don't normally have a zebra user
23:21 eythian_        you typically run it as the koha user
23:21 dcook           I'm not running as the Zebra user though
23:21 dcook           I've never run as root, but perhaps someone else has?
23:20 eythian_        if you've run it as root, you've probably broken all your permissions.

23:19 dcook           Ok, now I'm thinking that it is a permission/user issue
23:19 dcook           Hmm..
23:19 dcook           One of these days, I'm going to do a standard install and a dev install from scratch, and right up some wiki docs from the "rookie" perspective.
23:18 dcook           In the past, I think I just saw errors when I tried something, and I chocked it up to inexperience, so I put it off for another time.
23:17 dcook           :P
23:16 jcamins         And, yeah, PERL5LIB and KOHA_CONF are very important.
23:16 jcamins         No, I meant your login user.
23:16 * dcook         thinks the issue might've been that I wasn't exporting my PERL5LIB and Koha_conf before...
23:15 dcook           I'm trying a re-index now, and I think it might be working
23:15 dcook           I've never had to use the Zebra u/n and p/w when using yaz though, so I'm thinking perhaps this isn't the issue.
23:09 dcook           But "a user" and "your user" are different, as the user specified in that file is koha whereas I'm logged in as a different user
23:08 dcook           Wait...
23:06 dcook           I don't have root access anyway, so I'm always doing everything as a user
23:06 dcook           Thanks for the clarification :)
23:06 dcook           Ahh
23:06 jcamins         That's what bag was getting at. :)
23:05 dcook           Permissions definitely gave me quite a headache at first too. I'm sure jcamins could attest to that with my early patches
23:05 jcamins         dcook: you should be using your user rather than sudo for all Zebra-related commands.
23:05 bag             yeah permissions was what got me BIG time in the beginning
23:04 dcook           Well, I'm still rather new to Linux and Zebra, so I'm probably just missing something
23:03 bag             HA see what I mean
23:02 dcook           Hmm, maybe not
23:02 dcook           Ohhh...I think I might see what you're saying
22:58 bag             which has been proven before :P
22:57 bag             but it has been awhile since I've gone from step one of the install docs - so my knowledge could be a bit "old"
22:57 bag             the GROUP and USER statement there
22:57 bag             http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=misc/bin/koha-zebra-ctl.sh
22:55 dcook           Sure. Thanks, bag :)
22:55 bag             looking one sec
22:54 dcook           Hmm. How do you mean?
22:52 bag             I've seen that sometimes there are some group/user issues with the daemon before
22:50 dcook           I thought that switching between dom and grs1 did require changes outside of the webui though. Mind you, I haven't looked at that since last year either
22:50 dcook           For some reason, I haven't gotten Zebra to work on my dev install yet, and I haven't had the time to really focus on getting it up and running yet. But...when I do...it'll help with testing patches
22:50 bag             ahhh than we are all good dcook - that's all the matters :)
22:49 dcook           Sorry, bag. I meant in terms of modifying files manually
22:49 bag             :)
22:49 * bag           didn't understand the term "tweaks"  I guess I have a different definition than jared (my bad)
22:48 jcamins         You can use either without modifying any configuration files manually.
22:47 jcamins         None.
22:44 bag             dom or grs1?
22:44 bag             tweaks in what sense?
22:42 dcook           Good to know
22:42 dcook           I love your brevity, jcamins ;)
22:42 jcamins         No.
22:40 dcook           Off the top of your head, does Zebra require any tweaks to work with a dev install?
22:40 dcook           Actually, that reminds me...
22:39 rangi           there's plenty ;)
22:38 dcook           I guess I need to find some other bugs to test now though :p
22:37 rangi           yep
22:37 dcook           Bernardo Gonzalez Kriegel has been a machine lately. It's great!
22:32 dcook           As far as I know, she's not teaching at SLAIS anymore :/
22:31 rangi           yep
22:31 bag             we are hosting her "sandbox"
22:31 dcook           Alas, I did not end up taking that class, as I was here in Aus
22:31 bag             ah shirley lew!
22:30 dcook           Hehe. Sweet.
22:30 rangi           cos she submitted a bug report for koha, in shirley lews class
22:30 dcook           Always a surefire way to win someone over ;)
22:30 rangi           yep, i gave her chocolate at access 2011
22:30 dcook           I went to uni with TheRealArty
22:30 dcook           Oh neat

21:55 eythian_        Actually, I can't remember if we use the packaged version or not, I'd have to check.
21:54 eythian_        oh, that's unfortunate.
21:54 rangi           so we might have to look into replacing that
21:54 rangi           eythian_: puck was telling me tinymce2 isn't in wheezy (it was in squeeze but has been taken out)
21:16 bag             YAY backups!
21:16 talljoy         no problem.  thank goodness for backups!
21:15 oleonard        Thanks for your help with patron deletions talljoy
21:15 oleonard        talljoy++
21:10 cait            hm not sure
21:10 oleonard        Do people use the "order by" option when searching patrons?
21:06 wahanui         i don't know, slef
21:06 slef            wahanui: huh?
21:06 slef            huh?
21:04 wahanui         eythian_: i'm not following you...
21:04 eythian_        wahanui has fainting spells
21:03 oleonard        Sorry wahanui, did that disagree with you?
21:03 cait            ah thx!
21:03 oleonard        Search for an empty space I think cait. " "
20:58 cait            but that's easy to do
20:58 cait            you are confusing me :)
20:58 slef            "finding all patrons when you send an empty serach"
20:58 cait            slef: huh?
20:58 slef            cait: search for _ or __ IIRC, but that's a bug.
20:57 jcamins         No idea.

20:57 cait            someone an idea about bug 9579?
20:57 cait            hm
20:54 cait            we used to have that too
20:54 cait            just noting. sigh.
20:54 cait            it's stil not finding all patrons when you send an empty serach...
20:54 jcamins         Right.
20:54 slef            jcamins: FSVO "work". We'd lost functionality we used to have.
20:53 * jcamins       vaguely remembers that the change was necessary to make the search work again.
20:53 slef            (I can't see screencast)
20:53 cait            only it's bit much to take in
20:53 oleonard        I'm sure that would make someone mad
20:53 cait            I like the functionality
20:53 cait            yes
20:53 slef            oh patrons search?
20:53 jcamins         Wow, that's really wide!
20:53 oleonard        cait: I'm thinking maybe show just the text input and the "search fields" option?
20:52 cait            I think it was something slef did not too long ago
20:52 oleonard        I thought it was another HTML5 bug at first. I guess I hadn't noticed the new option yet
20:52 cait            maybe some of it could be part of the + part?
20:51 cait            I thought that too today
20:51 cait            yep
20:51 oleonard        The size of this search form is too damn wide! http://screencast.com/t/HWpyLdoU
20:22 cait            wizzyrea: git training sounds fun :)
20:20 jcamins         Hehe.
20:20 * oleonard      shushes everyone so that wizzyrea can get back to listening to the tumblers on the safe
20:18 * wizzyrea      would talk more but can't at the moment :(
20:16 jcamins         Nice!
20:16 wizzyrea        git training :P
20:16 jcamins         I hope you were doing something fun? :)
20:12 * wizzyrea      hasn't been around
20:12 jcamins         I did!
20:12 oleonard        Like three days ago eh?
20:12 jcamins         Oh, yes!
20:12 jcamins         I did?
20:11 wizzyrea        you sent me a later

19:48 cait            hm I should look up languish just to make sure
19:48 cait            because we love your patches :)
19:48 oleonard        Actually I'm very lucky. I hardly ever have patches languish.
19:47 jcamins         Just making sure all is clear.
19:47 jcamins         Hehe.

18:57 nengard         oxygen
18:54 jcamins         I have concluded it is not nearly as useful as one might hope.
18:54 oleonard        nengard: What's the editor you use for the manual again?
18:53 * jcamins       just learned about XForms.
18:52 oleonard        xmllint gives other errors regarding the document structure...I'm surprised the original editor let them pass
18:06 * cait          nods
18:06 oleonard        maybe I should have lunch
18:05 cait            hm. maybe I shoudl have dinner.
18:05 cait            probably
18:05 cait            else you can't do something like arabic
18:05 cait            I think it should be unicode
18:04 oleonard        I wonder if the unicode is widely acceptable...
18:04 oleonard        xmllint doesn't like the numeric character reference for the euro symbol either, but it doesn't mind € ?
17:58 bgkriegel       thanks
17:58 cait            even bgkriegel++ then :)
17:58 bgkriegel       It's holiday here :)
17:57 cait            lots of sign-offs!
17:57 cait            bgkriegel++
17:57 bgkriegel       that gives errors
17:57 bgkriegel       I think is "xmllint --valid fr/manual.xml"
17:54 jcamins         I don't know either, actually.
17:54 * oleonard      doesn't know how to run the test himself
17:54 oleonard        I wonder if there are others too
17:53 jcamins         oleonard: something like that, yes.
17:53 oleonard        Do I recall correctly that jenkins fails the manual build because of é and è in the French translation?
17:50 gaetan_B        bye!

17:19 alaquerre       ciao! leaving for lunch.
17:19 jcamins         :D
17:19 jcamins         You're welcome. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
17:19 alaquerre       jcamins : okay,let me do my homework with my community and I'll get back to you guys for questions/answers before we jump in.  THanks again!!!
17:18 slef            (based on sogo.nu)
17:18 slef            alaquerre: I prefer the calendar we sell ;-)
17:18 alaquerre       slef:Do you prefer Microsoft Calendar ? ;-)
17:18 slef            chris_n: that doesn't surprise me one bit, sadly.  Do you have a CERT you can report it to?
17:18 jcamins         alaquerre: yeah, that would make sense. And in order to do that first step, you'll have to figure out exactly where the calendar needs to show up.
17:17 slef            ;)
17:17 slef            it's a trojan for privacy invasion and advert sales?
17:16 alaquerre       it "google like" and not "google" ;-)
17:15 slef            if it's google, make sure it's optional
17:15 alaquerre       And this first phase would only replace the current calendar feature we have.
17:15 slef            yes, alaquerre woke the slef by mentioning the evil google
17:15 * slef          returns to kebab some more kittens
17:14 alaquerre       All right, thanks for the advices.  If I catch it properly, we should in the first phase only put the "google calendar" system and make sure it's autorized by the community, then extend with reccuring hold, blocking hold and some other feature...
17:14 oleonard        (if not followed)
17:11 oleonard        There are so many steps in that list which could, individually, sink a potential feature
17:11 jcamins         Something else worth mentioning would be "ask for advice early and often."
17:10 jcamins         Thanks.
17:10 oleonard        jcamins++ # great summary
17:09 jcamins         oleonard: it was not.
17:09 oleonard        Was that originally an email to the list jcamins?
17:08 jcamins         You may need to paste that into a word processor. I had not realized it would end up with absurdly long lines like that.
17:08 alaquerre       jcamins: Thanks
17:08 pastebot        "jcamins" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "alaquerre: my screed on good development practices" (12 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/387
17:07 alaquerre       I would luv to read on it.
17:07 alaquerre       Because I wont start this project if I know it's not accepted, and the internationale community will never be able to tell me it will be accepted... until it is :-)
17:06 jcamins         I will find it and share it.
17:06 jcamins         As it happens, I have written a veritable essay on how to make sure your developments go in.
17:05 alaquerre       Next question : I know we are into the opensource software, but how can I "make sure" it will be accepted. (you read in my mind)
17:05 jcamins         :)
17:05 jcamins         And I would remind you that with developments that big if you don't contribute code to the community in small chunks you end up with an expensive dead end.
17:04 alaquerre       I know :-) but right now, my user are dealing with a second software... ($$$)
17:04 jcamins         I think it would be a huge undertaking, though.
17:03 alaquerre       We also want to have a "visual" display of the current DVD.
17:03 jcamins         _Really_ cool.
17:03 jcamins         That would be really cool!
17:03 jcamins         Ooh.
17:03 alaquerre       We want to give the ability to let say : Hold a specific DVD for friday PM for 4 months.
17:02 alaquerre       user = Staff at first...
17:02 alaquerre       What we think : Put a "google like" calendar when user click on "hold" on an item. We need to handle : recuring hold and blocking hold.
17:01 jcamins         I'm having trouble envisioning the workflow with a working calendar.
17:01 alaquerre       ok
17:00 alaquerre       ok sorry...
17:00 jcamins         However, the calendar _definitely_ needs to be overhauled.
17:00 alaquerre       Where ? :-)
17:00 jcamins         I think I'd have to see a demo.
17:00 jcamins         Ummm...
17:00 alaquerre       I'll ask you another question :-).  We are currently looking to put in place a "Google calendar" like system in Koha.  Mainly do deal with Hold.  What do you think of the idea ?  What we want to be able to easily put "hard hold" on item ( materials like camera, computer and stuff like that.)
16:59 jcamins         lol
16:58 * oleonard      remembers jcamins telling us how he woke up the next morning wearing nothing but a pair of stretched out purple pants
16:58 * jcamins       suspects that kf blocked out my rage over the debacle from her memory.
16:57 jcamins         Nothing. :)
16:57 alaquerre       jcamins : okay thanks, I was not sure what I was doing wrong...

16:43 alaquerre       Just to let you know :-)
16:43 alaquerre       kf: Just an FYI : I was not able to make it work.  I tested it on "ACQCLAIM" notice and still getting plain text.  In the wiki you provided me, it mention : Only tested out on checkout and checkin.  Look like the process of "send letter" is not completly on this new way to work.

16:31 kf              let me look for it
16:31 kf              alaquerre: I think there is a wiki article that might be able to help you

16:28 alaquerre       HI all, - Question : How can we send Html email using notification  ? I do see the "Html Message" checkbox, but I'm not able to make it work ?
16:27 * druthb        suggests you ask any of her teammates, or kf, or any one of a dozen other regulars here, if she's a bad person, and then compare that to Benedict's opinion of me, and weigh appropriately.
16:27 drojf           but only because they are bad! :/
16:26 drojf           true
16:25 druthb          For someone who heads a religion that preaches universal love to all mankind, the incumbent sure seemed to dislike a lot of people.
16:24 druthb          That would be a problem, yes.
16:23 drojf           also, faith in a god

16:19 kf              druthb: more worried about everyone else
16:19 druthb          he has my vote, fer sure.
16:18 druthb          no need to hide, kf; looks like drojf is all for it!
16:14 reiveune        bye

16:02 kf              drojf for pope!
16:02 * druthb        thinks drojf would make a dandy pope.  Plus, two German popes in a row--that's *never* happened.  We hadda wait a looooong time for this one, and he turned out to be...less awesome than his predecessor.
16:00 wahanui         druthb: I forgot most of it
16:00 druthb          wahanui: forget most of it

15:56 drojf           but the words won't go away, you know? ;)
15:56 drojf           oh, 3.12.0. that probably never
15:55 drojf           like, never?
15:53 * magnuse       will hardly be upgrading to 3.12.0 anyway...
15:51 * magnuse       sighs
15:50 drojf           String freeze - May 1  Starting on May 1, no patch (other than security patches) changing translatable strings will be accepted for Koha 3.12.0.
15:49 drojf           ah, i pout that on the wiki i think
15:49 drojf           when is translation time?
15:48 drojf           heh, nz english requires a lot of attention

15:45 drojf           noooooooo
15:45 * druthb        chains drojf to the desk, and locks the browser into Pootle.
15:45 drojf           if you want to read help files, learn english :P
15:44 kf              druthb: most of it is always staff... it will get a lot worse when nicole submits her help files
15:44 kf              but that's a good thing in general.. I mean fixing things
15:44 druthb          Most of it on staff, it looks like.
15:44 kf              and rewritten templates
15:44 kf              new features I guess
15:44 drojf           how did that happen?
15:43 drojf           ouch
15:43 kf              omg.
15:43 * kf            coughs loudly                                                                                              23426 words need attention
15:41 druthb          I wanna get the ccsr theme on the 3.10 branch, tooooooo.
15:41 magnuse         druthb++
15:40 kf              wahoo :)
15:37 druthb          translators++
15:35 druthb          Wahoo!  The Pootle server now has a v3.12 project, and it includes the ccsr theme!  :D
15:15 kf              I think jcamins_away likes it better if a bug is not reopened after pushing the initial feature
15:14 oleonard        I would like to handle further changes in follow-ups. If you think a separate bug is best I'm okay with that.
15:14 kf              it's rather new so I think you didn't cover it in your patch because it was not there back then
15:14 kf              do you want me to open a separate bug for the invoices page?
15:13 kf              oleonard: it's ok for me :)

14:29 kf              thx for always working on the stray templates :)
14:29 oleonard        My fix doesn't address your bug, but I agree that it's a good idea
14:29 kf              because I always panic and wonder if I really clicked the right entry
14:29 kf              I was only wondering if we coudl add the framework to the confirmation message
14:28 kf              was just checking your code to see if it might fix it :)
14:28 oleonard        Oh, I'm sorry I didn't see that before. I did revise that message in my fix for 9545 to make it more readable.

13:34 kf              hm yes, because you care about it
13:34 oleonard        Should I get karma for patching a bug I caused? :)
13:33 kf              oleonard++ #patching the chromium bug :)
13:33 kf              well... at least about clouds with servers somewhere
13:32 kf              here privacy is a big concern about cloud computing
13:32 wahanui         i think interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad
13:32 kf              interesting
13:32 kf              ah
13:32 paul_p          kf it's ICAL2013 (International Conference for Academic Libraries). The main topic is "cloud computing, how can it help indian libraries"
13:31 paul_p          kf other than this, it can be compared to Mumbaï (lot of ppl, lot of pollution, lot of traffic, ...)
13:30 kf              hope you have a good time! what is this conf about?
13:29 kf              not too warm
13:29 kf              sounds nice :)
13:29 paul_p          kf surprisingly cold !!! weather is absolutely perfect. 15°C in the morning, 20-25° maximum. sunny, a tiny wind, really absolutely perfect !
13:28 kf              an and zeno is coming to the hackfest
13:28 kf              how is India? :)
13:28 kf              hi paul_p :)
13:28 paul_p          namaste magnuse (internet connexion quite randomly working here...)
13:24 kf              oleonard: and I always test those first again that I failed before... so it stays on top of my list

13:24 magnuse         oleonard++ kf++
13:21 kf              no problem :)
13:20 oleonard        Sorry to keep making you test it over again :)
13:20 kf              oleonard: sorry for failing the acq navigation :(
13:20 kf              hi oleonard
13:11 oleonard        Hi #koha
11:53 kf              Herwig: makes sense - glad you found it
11:31 Herwig          even linux needs diskspace
11:30 Herwig          kf: it's solved it was the diskspace but thx for the information
10:23 Herwig          admin will make it bigger this afthernoon (its a virtual machine)
10:22 Herwig          we maybe found the problem ... disk space on the machine is 0 % left
09:37 Herwig          i do a database dump daily i try restore the friday one on a test machine and see what that brings
09:36 kf              yeah. hmpf.
09:36 Herwig          hmz
09:36 Herwig          i asked but they said no
09:36 kf              server side
09:36 kf              I mean it can't restore to a previous state, it woudl have to be something an admin did
09:35 kf              not the systemno
09:35 Herwig          i'm looking into it
09:35 Herwig          my collegue is reporting something diffrent missing
09:34 Herwig          is it possible that the system restores to a previous state ?
09:33 kf              hm I am running out of ideas Herwig
09:32 Herwig          same with this one
09:32 Herwig          the previous account was super librarian
09:31 Herwig          no dont see annything
09:30 kf              if your user don't has borrowers permission that could be another reaso
09:29 Herwig          wait i try login as admin
09:29 Herwig          its like there  still in the database but i dont see them
09:29 kf              or search for patrons at a library
09:28 kf              so you have to give some search term
09:28 kf              I know that the search all functionaltiy does not work in 3.8
09:28 kf              I am not sure really
09:28 kf              hm
09:28 Herwig          it is
09:28 Herwig          dont prevent
09:26 Herwig          i can search myself but i'm  not under the corresponding letter wait i do what you say
09:25 kf              can you go to the system preferences and check your setting for independentbranches?
09:25 kf              the branch you are logged in at
09:25 kf              it will show up in the upper corner
09:25 kf              yes
09:24 Herwig          3.08.09.000
09:23 Herwig          with branch you are reffering to the library ?
09:23 kf              whatis your koha version?
09:23 kf              my guess is, that you are logged in at another branch
09:22 kf              it's totally unrelated ;)
09:22 Herwig          oeps
09:22 kf              patron search does not use zebra.
09:22 kf              as I said
09:22 kf              nope
09:22 Herwig          would reindexing help ?
09:22 Herwig          i have 2 branches but did not do the other yet
09:22 kf              did you activate the independentbranches system preference?
09:21 kf              are they registered at other branches?
09:21 Herwig          no i only get me
09:21 kf              patron search doesn't use zebra.
09:21 kf              did you update koha since then?
09:21 kf              Herwig: you can't search them by name?
09:20 wahanui         i think zebra is a fielded free text indexing and retrieval engine with a Z39.50 front-end. You can use any compatible, commercial, or freeware Z39.50 client to access data stored in Zebra. or the search engine koha uses
09:20 Herwig          zebra ?
09:20 Herwig          now they are invissible :OP
09:20 Herwig          i put in a lot off patrons last week
09:19 Herwig          only the patron list is reste to a previous state
09:19 Herwig          and i tested 2 they can still login
09:19 Herwig          or saterday
09:18 Herwig          friday they where still there
09:18 Herwig          i cant see them in the patron list
09:17 kf              what do you mean by your users disappeared?
09:17 kf              Herwig: we need a bit more inforamtion to help you
09:16 Herwig          annyone had this ?
09:16 Herwig          Morning & help my users dissapeared in koha

08:29 kf              but as long as we keep moving it will be fine :)
08:29 kf              i guess it never is...
08:29 marcelr         it is not so much as i would like..
08:28 kf              thx for your qa work :)
08:28 marcelr         yes
08:28 kf              we will see.
08:28 kf              but probably not as hard to test as some of the circ stuff
08:28 kf              yeah
08:27 marcelr         seems a big one
08:27 kf              for better accessibility
08:27 kf              i would love to see bootstrap replacing yui for example
08:27 marcelr         yeah, just the number is misleading..
08:26 kf              and lots of good things too
08:26 kf              but there is lots
08:26 kf              I only had about half an hour this morning, so didn't tackle the bigger patches
08:25 kf              yeah :(
08:24 marcelr         queue is quite large
08:23 marcelr         ok
08:23 kf              and either I made them... or not :)
08:23 kf              hope it will be better next week, some deadlines form my distance study will be over then
08:23 marcelr         :)
08:23 marcelr         i know that
08:23 kf              marcelr: I haven't had much time lately - very sorry for that
08:23 kf              marcelr: you are welcome

06:54 cait            morning magnuse :)
06:49 magnuse         heh http://xkcd.com/1172/
06:07 dcook           En tout cas, bonne chance demain, paul_p. Bonne journée :)
06:06 dcook           Hopefully, I'll find some time soon to actually start signing off more patches than just adding to the pile
06:05 dcook           I actually just took a look at the number of patches I've had pushed since my first last March. I think it's around 24. Not too bad considering I was out of commission for 4.5 months and incredibly busy.
06:05 dcook           I would like to hear more about how you got involved in the project actually, but I have to run along to prepare for a dinner party
06:04 dcook           I'm sure ICAL will be very interesting, especially since it seems that Koha is increasingly popular in India
06:04 dcook           Well, I'm glad to hear that the weather has been nice
06:04 dcook           Hehe
06:03 * paul_p        still impressed to see what happened in the last 10 years, since the 1st mail I sent to koha mailing list saying "i'll work on Koha" (because my employer just goes bankrupcy & i've a religious library friend of mine that is looking for a free ILS)
05:59 paul_p          dcook ICAL = International Conference for Academic Libraries. The main topic being "cloud computing" (and of course Koha as ILS on the cloud). 250-300 registrations
05:59 paul_p          dcook = it starts tomorrow, so for the conference, I don't know how it is. For Delhi & India, my main surprise is that the weather is very very nice. Something like 15° in the morning, and 20-25° during the day. So different compared to Mumbai in oct (KohaCon11)
05:57 dcook           How is it?
05:57 dcook           Hmm, the link didn't work for me
05:56 dcook           I was wondering why your ip was different :p
05:55 paul_p          dcook morning almost finished where I am now (Delhi, india). I'm here for ICAL2013 (http://www.ipu.ac.in/ical2013/index.htm)
05:54 dcook           morning, paul_p
05:54 paul_p          hello #koha

04:10 Brooke          roger that
04:09 mtj             whole lotta shakin'
04:09 Brooke          what's up?
04:09 mtj             hey Brooke
04:05 Brooke          kia ora
04:02 wahanui         i guess schema is tracked in git. or found at http://schema.koha-community.org
04:02 mtj             schema?
03:13 mtj             andy's cil thing looks well clever
02:56 wahanui         okay, eythian_.

02:52 rangi           thats like cil that andy did

02:34 dcook           I've double-checked the back-up though, and it does look like the IE hack is the one creating the problem, which it probably was meant to solve?
02:33 dcook           I think someone is using IE 6 and getting problems, but it looks to me that they must've always had problems with any version of Koha
02:33 dcook           Of course
02:33 dcook           I'm getting the issues when I use the Quirks mode document mode
02:32 dcook           I'm using 9 with the F12 developer tools
02:32 dcook           Internet Explorer, of course
02:32 mtj             dcook, curious what browser are you testing on?
02:25 dcook           Hmm. Well, I'm going to join you on that one. Seems like that IE hack has been there for years...and somehow isn't the cause of the problem, even though turning it off in my problem situation fixes the problem...
02:21 dcook           Hehe. Understood ;)
02:19 drojf           err. whatever i have been doing i could fix by *throwing out all css about that element*. and it only took me 30+min to figure it out. just to reinforce i should not answer any questions regarding css ;)
02:15 dcook           I'm a bit surprised to find no comments around this one though
02:15 dcook           Mmm, good point
02:15 drojf           dcook: don't forget that you need a special hack for probably every version of IE
02:10 dcook           No wonder it doesn't affect modern browsers
02:10 dcook           In this case, it seems to be a silly one as it creates a problem rather than fixing one...
02:10 * dcook         just remembered that putting a * before the elements in CSS is a IE specific hack
02:09 dcook           Mmm
02:08 drojf           [off] benefit of being up in the middle of the night: new simpsons episode right when it is fresh
02:05 rangi           he usually does
02:05 * dcook         assumes Owen will have an answer
02:05 dcook           Although it doesn't seem to be a problem in any browser except the old ones
02:05 dcook           But then applying height and overflow attributes to ever div seems odd as well
02:05 dcook           I've used the * selector before, but always after the elements, not before. As far as I know, using it in this context is redundant
02:04 dcook           What are you getting up to with CSS?
02:04 rangi           yeah me too
02:04 dcook           Hehe. Fair enough.
02:04 rangi           heh
02:04 drojf           given that i completely fail to understand css every time i try to use it (like, now), i would not dare to answer that
02:02 dcook           Hmm, anyone have any idea what the "* HTML DIV" type styles are for in staff-global.css?
01:58 drojf           i think so, yes
01:54 dcook           Well, I suppose that's capitalism in general even
01:54 drojf           that is what privatisation / »public-private partnership« is all about. to make you believe it is possible to do it cheaper.
01:53 dcook           My reasoning might be full of holes atm. Still no air conditioning. Brain might be melting.
01:53 dcook           As you say, it can never be cheaper than the actual costs
01:52 dcook           I'd rather stronger reviews in public service than privatisation though
01:51 dcook           Admittedly, as we have mentioned though, there is a lot of waste in public service  when the motto of "business as usual" is followed.
01:51 dcook           Fair enough, drojf
01:51 dcook           iceland++
01:51 dcook           ie--
01:50 drojf           well, it's probably me, not css
01:50 drojf           css--
01:49 drojf           iceland++
01:49 rangi           only about 1/3 of money in circulation actually exists
01:49 drojf           dcook: it can never be cheaper than the actual costs. so either your public service used to put a lot of extra stuff on the bill that did not have to do with anything and taking that out makes it look cheaper, or you are being betrayed. or, they screw with the environment and/or people, and for instance throw out waste into the ocean, which might reduce costs. but that is something nobody would want ( i hope)
01:49 rangi           the debt is all not real anyway
01:48 rangi           one of the few growing economies in the world
01:48 dcook           What happened after that?
01:48 rangi           http://newschooljournal.com/2012/04/icelands-revolutionary-crisis-response/
01:48 dcook           Whoa!
01:47 rangi           and jailed the bankers instead
01:47 rangi           voted to not bail out the banks
01:47 rangi           they had a referendum
01:47 dcook           Oh?
01:46 rangi           :)
01:46 rangi           cept in iceland
01:46 rangi           its a trend
01:46 rangi           privatise profit, socialise losses
01:46 dcook           I'm originally from a conservative region where the privatization of public goods has been a hot topic for years (despite our province also being the birthplace of medicare and the first province to be entirely electrified, as well as filled to the brim with co-ops that we all used for our banks, our grocery stores, our gas stations, etc)
01:46 rangi           and those are reasons thought up to try to give some legitimacy to what is a fairly thinly disguised money grab
01:45 rangi           yep
01:45 dcook           I think the argument for proprietary software might include security/reliability (which is bogus as we've already pointed out), and as for privatisation of public goods, I think the idea is that competition allows for cheaper prices and more efficiency (which is also quite bogus)
01:45 rangi           but they don't care about that
01:45 rangi           there isn't
01:44 drojf           could there ever be
01:43 drojf           the longer i think about it… the preference of making people use proprietary software instead of free software and the privatisation of public goods (think water, electricy, public transportation…) seems to be propagated by the same (kind of) people. and no matter how hard i try, i cannot find a valid reason for it, besides bribes and corruption. what positive outcome for the general public to there ever be?
01:35 drojf           you are :D
01:34 wahanui         it has been said that heh i am good
01:34 rangi           heh wahanui
01:34 wahanui         I know. That's why I said it.
01:34 dcook           Very true
01:34 rangi           :)
01:34 rangi           dcook: but in libraryland usually after the trend is no longer relevant
01:34 dcook           Yet, the trend is to follow the trends :p
01:34 drojf           so why care? :/
01:34 drojf           people don't remember what cool stuff you did 5 or 10 years ago
01:34 dcook           Mmm, very true
01:33 rangi           yup
01:33 drojf           true, unfortunately. for most people in charge of something. now and immediate future is what is important to get you re-/elected for $whatever
01:32 dcook           hehe
01:32 rangi           </gross generalisation>
01:32 rangi           people look at now, not tomorrow
01:31 drojf           [off] same as liblime btw
01:31 drojf           i mean… it's really easy at least for future employees. make it a rule to only use and teach free(dom) software in schools/ universities. bam, nobody cries if s/he cannot use MS word. but of course MS goes into schools and universities and throws their stuff out for free and for some reasons that i don't understand, people are buying into that
01:28 rangi           yep
01:28 dcook           Always done by the producers of the product being marketed, of course
01:27 dcook           Reminds me of a few non-IT studies that I've read in recent years.
01:27 dcook           Ugh
01:27 rangi           yeah
01:26 drojf           there seems to be a strong interest in MS preventing that. we had the city of munich switch to linux for public services and lately there has been a "study" that came to the result that everything would be cheaper if they [i don't remeber: either »would not have switched to linux« or even »would switch back to MS now«]. a study initiated by MS and they also left out the license costs for MS products. that is the point where i stopped reading. there
01:25 mtj             yep, stuck on ie/activex/winxp
01:25 rangi           lots of intranets
01:24 mtj             .. ive heard the same stories from govt.nz IT staff too
01:22 dcook           I certainly would not disagree
01:21 rangi           thats why open standards/languages are so much better
01:21 mtj             ^^ alot of old govt/corperate webapps only run on IE/activex, and its too expensive to fix them
01:21 drojf           heh
01:21 rangi           only in old IE
01:21 rangi           nope
01:21 drojf           does activex still exist? :)
01:21 rangi           and old IE
01:21 rangi           they they locked to IE
01:20 rangi           a lot of south korea is run on activex
01:20 dcook           Mmm, I've also heard this
01:20 rangi           there is that too
01:20 drojf           i have heard of organisations that had someone develop $stuff for them, and that only works with IE 6. so they will use it forever. because they paid for $stuff 10+ years ago
01:20 rangi           a lot of them think their time is more important, and so they do what is easiest for them
01:20 rangi           they are there to serve the users
01:19 rangi           IT depts have forgotten what they are for
01:19 dcook           Mmm
01:19 rangi           usually it boils down the reasons drojf mentioned
01:19 dcook           But I just don't understand why someone or something would force it upon them
01:19 dcook           People forced to use it
01:19 dcook           That's what I've found as well
01:19 dcook           ;)
01:18 drojf           ./rant ;)
01:18 rangi           just people forced to use it
01:18 rangi           i dont find anyone who likes IE
01:18 drojf           [off] dcook: from my experience, the construct of an "IT department", at least in public service, sometimes accomodates old men too lazy to learn something new. pre-internet, very pre-»digital native« people that at some point choose to never learn anything new again. just do business as usual forever. people that »grew up« in the stuff they are doing when it was cool & important to have a microsoft certificate for something. people that at some poi
01:18 rangi           hmm not really
01:18 dcook           Besides corporate IT
01:18 dcook           They must have their opponents as well though
01:18 rangi           so cataloguing is faster
01:17 rangi           as an added bonus
01:17 rangi           both of them render js a lot faster than IE
01:17 rangi           firefox and chrome
01:16 dcook           While I think everyone hates IE, what are some preferred browsers out there?
01:13 rangi           heh
01:12 drojf           koha should hand out an exploit that automatically does format c: and installs linux to older IE versions :P just kidding. maybe
01:12 rangi           heck even microsoft tell people not to
01:12 dcook           Why are IT departments the ones who are keeping organizations on old versions of IE then?
01:11 dcook           Hmm, seems like it
01:09 rangi           using older version of IE on the internet is incredibly dangerous
01:09 dcook           :p
01:09 rangi           i have no issues with that :)
01:09 dcook           Hmm, apparently Koha 3.8 and older versions of IE really do not get along...
00:46 rangi           http://www.grabone.co.nz/wellington/nz-flight-training-9  <-- looks like fun!
00:46 rangi           yeah he is
00:46 drojf           s/it/he
00:45 drojf           i shouldn't start watching git videos at half past one in the morning. but it is a nice speaker
00:38 rangi           *nod*
00:38 drojf           cool, thanks. love the title
00:37 ibeardslee      it's a pity the git one was miss named .. I would have like to have been able to plan on making it.
00:37 rangi           http://mirror.linux.org.au/linux.conf.au/2013/ogv/Git_For_Ages_4_And_Up.ogv
00:36 rangi           drojf: a much shorter version of his git talk is available as a video online
00:35 drojf           cool, i'll come by ;)
00:35 eythian_        drojf: you'd know enough for this one
00:35 drojf           i'd probably have to learn a lot more before i could thoroughly enjoy such sessions
00:34 rangi           so things got pushed
00:34 rangi           the git one ended up being a full day
00:34 eythian_        yeah, that plan was created at short notice, so I'm not sure it can be mangled :)
00:34 ibeardslee      that is true as well
00:33 rangi           im just stoked they got him here at all
00:33 rangi           well they had like 2 days to convince him to change his tickets and come to wellington, so im not sure you can do too much planning in that time
00:32 * ibeardslee    was going to style, until the 'plan' was mangled at short notice.
00:32 eythian_        jcamins_away: there's an issue with the k-c.org repo that needs to be fixed first though. Email has been sent.
00:32 * dcook         = jealous
00:31 rangi           im going to those 2
00:31 rangi           tomorrow is modern perl and style
00:31 drojf           i wish cool people would come to me to teach me stuff
00:31 drojf           cool
00:31 rangi           which is what cjh, wizzyrea_away and eythian_ are at today
00:31 rangi           he also knows a crapton about git
00:30 rangi           like Test::Simple
00:30 rangi           we use a ton of his stuff
00:29 drojf           DNA-0.03 	Encodes your Perl program into an Nucleic Acid sequence <-- sounds like something everybody needs :)
00:29 drojf           hi rangi. that guy made a lot of perl stuff
00:26 rangi           with http://schwern.net/
00:26 drojf           hibye jcamins_away ;)
00:26 rangi           hes in training all day
00:25 * jcamins_away  leaves, after giving eythian a significant look about the packaging patches.
00:25 jcamins_away    And if the system administrator has to look up the password with sudo, that's a good thing.
00:25 jcamins_away    The database user should basically be used only by the system administrator.
00:24 jcamins_away    spiker: I'm not here, and I'm leaving again, but don't change the username/password. Your librarians should never use the database user. You have to login with that user and create real users for them.
00:17 drojf           hi dcook
00:17 dcook           morning, drojf
00:16 drojf           good late evening or early morning #koha ;)
00:07 jcamins         *Dinner
00:07 jcamins         DInner time!
