01:44 Hunaid          Hello. I am looking for a library management software for my school. i cam across koha. But i understand it runs on Linux. Does it work on windows?
01:49 tuxayo          Hunaid: hi :) It worked on Windows in the past, now I'm not sure, but you will have a much harder time running it on Windows than on Linux.
01:53 Hunaid          Thank you. Can you recommend something for Windows
03:28 shaffendi       hi heello
03:28 shaffendi       i need help on serial data..
04:24 tuxayo          hi :) shaffendi write your question, and maybe someone could help
04:24 tuxayo          You may ask again a few hours later or use the mailing list that suits best https://koha-community.org/support/koha-mailing-lists/
07:20 ashimema        What do you mean by 'runs on windows' Hunald.. I wouldn't suggest running it on a desktop machine.. it is designed to sit on a server..
07:21 ashimema        I imagine Koha would run under linux subsystem for windows.. but I've personally not tried

10:19 ashimema        Hi cait1
10:26 cait1           just got out of morning meetings
10:26 cait1           how is everyon?
10:28 ashimema        not bad, not bad
10:28 ashimema        just looking through the accessibility improvement bugs
10:29 ashimema        little bit scary.. think they're at the stage and having taken it all apart and now working out how to put it back together again
10:29 ashimema        the first patch I just QA'd is scary
10:30 ashimema        wow.. back up to 80 majors.. that seems a little high
10:37 cait1           yeah we have been better
10:41 oleonard        Hi all
10:41 oleonard        We seem to be having a surge of people asking to run Koha on Windows. I wonder if there was a catalyst.
10:43 cait1           oh, only saw one of them on mailng list, but miht have deleted others
10:44 ashimema        it's weird
10:44 ashimema        I noted at least a couple
10:49 tcohen          Good morning
10:49 tcohen          hi cait
11:47 cait1           maybe jus one of these things that happen in waves?

12:03 oleonard        ashimema: I'm adding some follow-ups to my title-string patches because I've found some missed ones
12:03 ashimema        I saw
12:03 oleonard        I'm setting them back to signed off so you can have another look, if you don't mind
12:04 ashimema        will do
12:04 ashimema        there's so many cases it's really easy to miss them

15:04 cait2           hm no
15:04 cait2           Pizza
15:14 oleonard        Tomorrow is pizza day. Today is fried mackerel day.
15:21 cait2           but...
15:21 caroline        by that logic, it's pizza day in NZ
15:21 caroline        Or is pizza day always tomorrow?
15:25 oleonard        no!
15:40 eythian         Thursday is pizza day in NZ IIRC
15:44 cm              hi
15:45 cm              how reliable is link_bibs_to_authorities.pl?
15:45 cm              it found the correct number of occurrences of my authorities but didn't link anything
15:46 cm              or do i maybe have to rebuild the zebraindex to see the links?
15:47 caroline        cm I think you have to rebuild the indexes yes
15:47 caroline        also, check the linker system preferences
15:47 cm              where do i find these preferences?
15:50 caroline        Administration > System preferences > Authorities
15:50 cm              ok, i've rebuild the index but still see nothing
15:50 cm              i'll relink
15:50 caroline        Or Administration > System preferences and search for Linker
15:50 cm              thx
15:52 cm              what setting should i be looking for?
15:52 cm              as far as i can see, everything is set to default
15:53 caroline        just check to make sure it's to your liking
15:53 cm              ok
15:53 cm              so i did the linking again: still nothing :-(
15:54 caroline        did you run it with -v to see what it does?
15:54 cm              yes
15:54 cm              first, it processed all of my records
15:55 cm              Number of bibs checked:                 46386
15:55 cm              Number of bibs modified:                0
15:56 cm              didnt do any linking, even though it found the correct number of occurrences, like: Bericht:        447 occurrences
15:57 cm              or maybe i misunderstand what the linker is supposed to do?
15:57 cm              I'm talking about the "used in x records" number
15:57 cm              which is still 0
15:58 caroline        I use it all the time and it usually works
15:58 caroline        dis you modify your MARC frameworks?
15:58 caroline        maybe if $9 is not in the framework, it can't link
15:58 cm              it is in the framework
15:59 cm              i'
15:59 cm              i'll double-check
15:59 caroline        I'm out of ideas... :/
16:00 cm              ok, i have 2 frameworks
16:00 cm              default and another one
16:00 cm              $9 is set for the other one
16:00 cm              maybe the linker is using the wrong framework?
16:01 caroline        depends on your bib records
16:02 cm              hm
16:02 cm              what could i do to verify it is using the desired framework?
16:07 caroline        cm check one of your 447 Bericht records
16:07 caroline        which framework does it use?
16:07 cm              ok one sec..
16:08 cm              how can i see the framework?
16:08 cm              is it in the marc record?
16:09 caroline        in the staff interface, if you click in the MARC view, it shoudl show just above the marc
16:09 caroline        there should be a drop down menu with your frameworks... the one that is selected is the one your record uses
16:09 cm              ok it is using the correct framework
16:10 caroline        damn... I was hoping that would be the problem hehe!
16:10 cm              so maybe a colleague altered the framework recently.. anything i have to do after that maybe?
16:10 cm              as i said i rebuild the zebtra-index
16:11 caroline        can you check if you edit the record and click on the tag for Bericht, is there a $9?
16:11 caroline        is the subfield there and is it filled?
16:12 caroline        normally the $9 has the authority record number in it
16:14 cm              hm
16:14 cm              so i see $9 in my framework
16:15 cm              but not in the marc of the specific record
16:15 caroline        even if you click on the title of the tag?
16:15 caroline        (to "open" the tag)
16:18 cm              ok
16:18 cm              i see $9 but it is not set
16:18 cm              that should happen by the linking i guess?
16:18 caroline        yes
16:18 cm              so the $9 is there
16:18 cm              at least :)
16:19 caroline        is the text in your bib record and in your auth record the same?
16:19 caroline        Sometimes I've seen it won't recognize if there are spaces or different punctuation
16:19 cm              you mean the keyword?
16:19 caroline        yes
16:19 cm              yes
16:19 cm              it's exactly the same
16:19 caroline        ok that's good
16:20 reiveune        bye
16:21 caroline        when you reindex, do you index your authorities?
16:21 caroline        hm... dumb questions
16:21 cm              yes, i especially added -a to zebrA
16:21 caroline        of course otherwise you wouldn't be able to find them
16:22 caroline        did you also add -b?
16:22 caroline        wouldn't change anything if $9 is empty
16:22 caroline        sorry, thinking out loud
16:22 cm              sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -v -f library
16:22 cm              thats what i did
16:23 cm              and then again with flag -a
16:23 cm              maybe the linker is trying the link the wrong tag?
16:23 cm              e.g. one record has its keyword in tag 650
16:24 cm              another one in 651
16:24 cm              another one in 100
16:25 caroline        those are all standard...
16:26 cm              looking at the subfield settings for $9 now
16:26 cm              there are several options like important, mandatory and so on
16:26 caroline        shouldn't change anything
16:26 cm              hm
16:26 cm              damn
16:26 caroline        yeah...
16:28 cm              so let's assume that the framework was changed
16:28 cm              what might be needed to make the changes visible to the linker?
16:28 cm              i already did a rebuild
16:28 cm              a restart of the database maybe?
16:30 cm              now im looking at the "Koha to MARC mapping" options
16:30 cm              there are several mappings for subfields a or b but none for $9
16:30 cm              maybe that's missing?
16:30 caroline        let me check mine, but I don't think it's supposed to be linked
16:31 caroline        no only 952$9 is linked in mine
16:32 cm              hm
16:32 cm              looking at "authority types"
16:32 cm              i checked all types and again see several subfields
16:33 cm              but $9 is missing
16:33 cm              should it be added there as well?
16:33 caroline        in my default MARC framework, for 100$9 I have Managed in tab 1, Visibility OPAC, Intranet, Collapsed
16:34 caroline        and for 100$a I have Managed in tab 1, Visibility OPAC, Intranet, Edito, Koha link biblio.author, thesaurus PERSO_NAME
16:34 cm              checking mine
16:36 cm              look similar
16:37 cm              $9 is managed in tab 0 but i guess that doesnt matter
16:37 caroline        is $a also managed in tab 0?
16:37 cm              yes
16:37 caroline        (as long as they're in the same tab, it's ok)
16:38 caroline        To circle back to your authority types questions, it's normal that there is no $9 in there
16:38 cm              ok
16:39 caroline        $9 is used to store the auth number in the bib record, so it's only necessary in the bib record
16:42 cm              hm
16:42 cm              sorry for bothering you sou much caroline ..
16:43 cm              i really appreciate your patience :-)
16:43 caroline        sorry I can't help you more
16:43 cm              hm
16:43 cm              yeah i guess ill just leave it at that
16:43 cm              thx!
16:43 caroline        I'm out of ideas, but I can answer questions if you have other ones
16:44 cm              so if i link records to authorities manually, it works
16:44 cm              does that give you any hint?
16:44 caroline        no...
16:45 cm              :-)
16:52 cm              thx again caroline!
16:52 cm              bye
17:21 circ-user-exXpE Hi everyone
17:22 circ-user-exXpE First time using the channel. I hope I dont do anything wrong
17:23 circ-user-exXpE In my library we are trying to setup the search in chinese characters but all attempts around Zebra are getting nowhere
17:23 circ-user-exXpE does anyone have a very clear idea about what we should do?
17:24 circ-user-exXpE is there any good instruction out there on how to do this?
17:53 ashimema        sorry circ-user-exCpE.. I'm just clocking off for the day.. as are allot of europe
17:53 ashimema        you might have better luck trying again tomorrow a little earlier.. or weighting a couple of hours and hoping others come along that might be able to help
17:54 ashimema        or use the mailing lists
17:54 ashimema        We have various things working in zebra here including kanji and chinese.. so there is a way.. but I'm not sure what it is off the top of my head
17:54 ashimema        ICU might be required as a starter
17:55 * ashimema      runs off to save burning dinner
18:00 oleonard        Oh no ashimema's fried mackerel is burning
