Hi |
| 17:13 |
|
rach |
hello |
| 17:53 |
|
owen |
Hi rach, I didn't see you come in. |
| 17:53 |
|
owen |
I like the new designs you posted |
| 17:57 |
|
rach |
thank you |
| 17:58 |
|
rach |
I have a new PC, which doesn't kick me off IRC every time the screen saver comes on |
| 17:58 |
|
rach |
so I'm finally back to being able to pay attention |
| 17:58 |
|
rach |
rather than doing a merekat impersionation |
| 17:59 |
|
rach |
but it does mean I'm lurking a bit more :-) |
| 17:59 |
|
rach |
so owen, when used in a page, do you still get that "surprised" feeling? |
| 17:59 |
|
rach |
with the logo |
| 18:01 |
|
owen |
Yeah, kinda. But I have a tendency to see things that aren't there. ;) |
| 18:09 |
|
rach |
have you done those inkblot thingys? |
| 18:12 |
|
owen |
Not since they let me out |
| 18:13 |
|
rach |
:-) |
| 18:15 |
|
owen |
Did I read correctly that someone's going to try to do your designs up in HTML? |
| 18:15 |
|
rach |
yep |
| 18:16 |
|
rach |
lucky man :-) |
| 18:18 |
|
owen |
Shouldn't be too hard, except for that opacity thing |
| 18:18 |
|
rach |
he likes a challenge :-) |
| 18:20 |
|
rach |
owen what does the admin for your koha look like? |
| 18:20 |
|
owen |
The admin home page? |
| 18:21 |
|
rach |
yes |
| 18:21 |
|
rach |
could I possibly get you to send me a screen shot? |
| 18:22 |
|
rach |
or is it the one that paul did? |
| 18:22 |
|
rach |
ta |
| 18:22 |
|
rach |
interesting, we don't have an option to change theme for the admin side, in the same way as we do for the opac |
| 18:23 |

yep we do rach |
| 18:25 |
|
chris |
its just called template though |

Here's the circ screen, from our test server (that's why my account is in such bad shape, I swear!) |

| 18:26 |
|
rach |
ah that's right |
| 18:26 |
|
rach |
thanks owen |
| 18:27 |
|
rach |
so you've put acquisitions into cataloging |
| 18:28 |
|
owen |
We lump all that together. But really we don't do acquisitions in Koha, so I don't have a good idea of the workflow. |
| 18:31 |
|
rach |
oh that's a bit weird |
| 18:47 |
|
kados |
hi everyone |
| 18:49 |
|
kados |
owen we may be doing acquisitions in koha pretty soon ... stephen wants to cancel our ITSMARC subscription this year |
| 18:49 |
|
owen |
Catalogers will be pissed. |
| 18:49 |
|
kados |
he's asked me to get the cataloging interface up and running (the Z39.50 aspect of it that we're not using) |
| 18:49 |
|
kados |
yea |
| 18:50 |
|
kados |
the main problem will probably be authorities on the records |
| 18:50 |
|
kados |
I haven't had a chance to see how koha handles authorities yet ... but I doubt it's as advanced as ITSMARC |
| 18:51 |
|
kados |
(lower quality records also means worse searching btw) |
| 18:51 |
|
owen |
There are large parts of the acquisitions system that I'm not familiar with |
| 18:51 |
|
kados |
same here |
| 18:52 |
|
owen |
I haven't updated any z39.50 templates in a while. I'm not sure what their status is. |
| 19:21 |
|
kados |
si around? |
| 19:21 |
|
owen |
kados: z39.50 isn't working on 101 is it? |
| 19:37 |
|
kados |
si if you arrive anytime soon ... here's my problem: |
| 19:38 |
|
kados |
I can boot the net4801 off my nfs share fine |
| 19:38 |
|
kados |
so debian is running now on it |
| 19:38 |
|
kados |
but |
| 19:38 |
|
kados |
the cf card is showing up as hdb instead of hda |
| 19:39 |
|
kados |
so when I try to run lilo (after changing /etc/fstab to mount from the local filesystem) I get an error like this: |
| 19:39 |
|
kados |
Warning: /dev/hdb is not on the first disk |
| 19:39 |
|
kados |
and: |
| 19:39 |
|
kados |
Fatal: Trying to map files from unnamed device 0x0009 (NFS ?) |
| 19:40 |
|
si |
so your root file system is your HD, or still NFS? |
| 19:40 |
|
kados |
currently I've got / which is the NFS |
| 19:40 |
|
si |
some CF apparently are outside spec, and don't come up correctly on 4501's |
| 19:40 |
|
kados |
and /mnt which is the CF card (hdb) |
| 19:40 |
|
si |
I've got a few that come up as slaves |
| 19:40 |
|
si |
right, so you need to tell lilo to chroot to /mnt |
| 19:40 |
|
kados |
ahh ... |
| 19:41 |
|
si |
-r root-directory |
| 19:41 |
|
si |
Before doing anything else, do a chroot to the indicated direc- |
| 19:41 |
|
si |
tory. The new root directory must contain a /dev directory, and |
| 19:41 |
|
si |
may need a /boot directory. It may also need an /etc/lilo.conf |
| 19:41 |
|
si |
file. |
| 19:42 |
|
kados |
sweet |
| 19:42 |
|
si |
you may also need -b as well |
| 19:42 |
|
si |
alternately |
| 19:42 |
|
kados |
so you think 'lilo -r /mnt' |
| 19:42 |
|
kados |
would do it? |
| 19:42 |
|
si |
you could mangle your nfs boot line so that it actually loaded /dev/hdb1 as it's root, rather than the nfs partition |
| 19:43 |
|
si |
so that you're using tftp only to boot the kernel |
| 19:43 |
|
kados |
yea I was going to try that next :-) |
| 19:43 |
|
si |
then you'd be able to install lilo without needing the mad chrooting stuff |
| 19:43 |
|
si |
just try various combinations of -r -b and -A, until it works |
| 19:43 |
|
kados |
thanks si! |
| 19:43 |
|
si |
that's what I do, randomly |
| 19:44 |
|
kados |
:-) |
| 19:44 |
|
kados |
lilo -r /mnt gave: |
| 19:44 |
|
kados |
same Warning (not the first disk) |
| 19:44 |
|
kados |
and |
| 19:44 |
|

Added Linux * |
| 19:45 |
|
kados |
si can you think of a reason that the CF is showing up as hdb instead of hda? (is that what you were mentioning just a sec ago?) |
| 19:45 |
|
si |
yes |
| 19:45 |
|
kados |
ahh |
| 19:45 |
|
si |
it's discussed in the soekris archives, if you can be arsed googling |
| 19:46 |
|
si |
but on the 4501's there's not a great deal you can do about it |
| 19:46 |
|
si |
buy a better flash, or live with it seem to be the choices |
| 19:47 |
|
si |
ctrl p, and then "boot f0" |
| 19:47 |
|
si |
will force it back to a netboot, if the lilo is munged |
| 19:47 |
|
kados |
right :-) |
| 19:48 |
|
kados |
hehe ... does this mean it's munged?: |
| 19:48 |
|
kados |
L 00 00 00 00 00 00 ad infinitum |
| 19:48 |
|
si |
yup |
| 19:48 |
|
si |
but it means you're half way there |
| 19:48 |
|
kados |
k ... I'll just change the fstab in the nfs |
| 19:58 |
|
kados |
strange that these cards are of different quality ... they all seem to cost about the same |
| 19:58 |
|
kados |
the same kinds of problems exist with the SD cards ... I had to scrap one of those with my Zaurus because it wouldn't hold on to a filesystem |
| 19:59 |
|
kados |
switched to another brand and problems went away |
| 20:04 |
|
kados |
soekris finally grabs kernel |
| 20:06 |
|
kados |
sweet ... mounted on /dev/hdb1 |
| 20:07 |
|
kados |
grrr ... still get the Fatal: Trying to map files fron unnamed device 0x0009 (NFS ?) |
| 20:07 |
|
kados |
when I run lilo |
| 20:11 |
|
tim |
Hey chris! Your 'Flat Stanley" is on the way. |
| 20:11 |
|
chris |
cool ill keep an eye on my inbox |
| 20:11 |
|
chris |
there it is |
| 20:12 |
|
tim |
We'll be having more kids make some later so you'll have to wait a bit kados. |
| 20:12 |
|
tim |
Let me know if you have any problems with the stuff I sent. |
| 20:12 |
|
kados |
hehe np ... I'll keep posted :-) |
| 20:12 |
|
chris |
looks all good to me |
| 20:12 |
|
kados |
si: any more ideas? |
| 20:12 |
|
chris |
hes at a meeting joshua |
| 20:12 |
|
kados |
ahh ... thanks |
| 20:36 |
|
kados |
I think the problem was that I was overriding lilo with some kernel statements in my 'default' file (TFTP) |
| 20:52 |
|
kados |
shoot! ... it booted off the network and mounted the CF filesystem ... I ran lilo and it gave the warning but no fatal message ... I rebooted and lilo still gives me the L 00 00 prob |
