I have trouble enough understanding how the *concept* of authorities works, let alone how Koha uses them :( |

Hi shaun |
| 15:03 |
|
shaun |
hi |
| 15:08 |
|
shaun |
I haven't had a chance to do any work on koha today - but my new hd is in the server now, with raid enabled, and i have 160 gigs more storage space on this box (now i don't have to randomly delete stuff to be able to work on anything locally) *reading through logs* I'm a performance freak, maybe I should try to get a high-performance mod_perl and mysql combination... *upgrades to mysql 4* :p |
| 15:09 |
|
owen |
Well, note that Joshua said he didn't see any performance improvement under mod_perl. But that's all I know about it. |
| 15:11 |
|
shaun |
hmm, theoretically mod_perl would only make a minor improvement, as the heavy stuff is all done by the perl - mysql bit... *investigates fedora/rhel/mysql 4* |

Give it more time. Paul said yesterday the relevant folks were going to be at a conference this week and next week. Paul's going to re-contact them after that. |
| 15:20 |
|
Ben |

|
shaun |

| 15:24 |
|
Ben |

| 15:26 |
|
shaun |
o...i am working on the typed document (or i was...) |
| 15:26 |
|
Ben |
okie doke |
| 15:26 |
|
Ben |
is that the speech then? |
| 15:27 |
|
Ben |
I asked you a while ago to come up with some formatting |
| 15:28 |
|
Ben |
which will be usable on the school pcs.. |
| 15:28 |
|
shaun |
to other devs: i am (we are?) writing a document on the advantages of koha over other ILS that could be used in schools, particularly ALICE, OLIVER, Liberty3 and cards ;) - we will release it under GFDL, if anyone else wants to use it... |
| 15:28 |
|
Ben |
how does Palatino Linotype grab you for the title? |
| 15:29 |
|
Ben |
it looks nice at 48pt |
| 15:29 |
|
Ben |
is lucida sans on the school computers? |
| 15:29 |
|
Ben |
shaun? |
| 15:31 |
|
shaun |
umm, this is a printed document - as long as i have it installed on my system, it's fine |
| 15:32 |
|
Ben |
I know. |
| 15:33 |
|
Ben |
however, in case you have not been reading what I have written, I am writing a presentation to be delivered. Is lucida sans on the school computers? |
| 15:33 |
|
shaun |
she asked specifically for a written document. |
| 15:34 |
|
Ben |
I know that |
| 15:34 |
|
Ben |
is lucida sans on the school computers? |
| 15:34 |
|
shaun |
i presume so... |
| 15:34 |
|
Ben |
good |
| 15:34 |
|
Ben |
finally.. |
| 15:35 |
|
Ben |
what is the verb form of administrator? administer or administrate? |
| 15:35 |
|
shaun |
why are you producing a presentation when we need a proposal as a written document? |
| 15:35 |
|
Ben |
because I am. |
| 15:35 |
|
Ben |
what is the verb form of administrator? administer or administrate? |
| 15:36 |
|
owen |
Administrationify |
| 15:36 |
|
shaun |
lol |
| 15:36 |
|
Ben |
I am not going to try to explain why to you or what I propose to do, since you have made up your mind and are not going to change it |

hi everyone |
| 15:41 |
|
shaun |
hi kados |
| 15:41 |
|
kados |
shaun: you'll want at least mysql 4.0 because it's got the query cache |
| 15:41 |
|
kados |
this helps out Koha quite a bit |
| 15:41 |
|
owen |
hi kados |
| 15:41 |
|
kados |
you'll also want to tweak my.cnf based on your hardware and the size of your database |
| 15:43 |
|
kados |
for example |
| 15:43 |
|
kados |
here are some settings from NPLS: |
| 15:43 |
|
kados |
set-variable = key_buffer=1024M |
| 15:43 |
|
kados |
set-variable = max_allowed_packet=16M |
| 15:43 |
|
kados |
set-variable = table_cache=512 |
| 15:43 |
|
kados |
set-variable = sort_buffer_size=2M |
| 15:43 |
|
kados |
set-variable = record_buffer=2M |
| 15:43 |
|
kados |
set-variable = thread_cache=8 |
| 15:43 |
|
kados |
set-variable = query_cache_size=128M |
| 15:43 |
|
kados |
# Try number of CPU's*2 for thread_concurrency |
| 15:43 |
|
kados |
set-variable = thread_concurrency=2 |
| 15:43 |
|
kados |
set-variable = myisam_sort_buffer_size=64M |
| 15:43 |
|
kados |
set-variable = tmp_table_size=128M |
| 15:44 |
|
kados |
there should be a my-huge.cnf somewhere in your install that should give you some good docs on the variables and what they mean ... also see the mysql manual |
| 15:44 |
|
kados |
we have 2 gigs of ram so if you have less that that you could really screw things up by using the above variables btw ;-) |
| 15:45 |
|
kados |
and some of the variables switch names from version to version so be careful there too |
| 15:45 |
|
shaun |
how many people who use koha on servers use some form of red hat? how about non-linux *nix variants? and how many are still on mysql <4? (to your knowledge, not asking for a survey ;) ) |
| 15:46 |
|
Ben |
gtg, bye |
| 15:46 |
|
kados |
I think we're the only production system on a red hat variant |
| 15:46 |
|
kados |
paul uses mandrake |
| 15:46 |
|
kados |
katipo uses debian |
| 15:46 |
|
kados |
(we use debian too ;-)) |
| 15:46 |
|
shaun |
which rh variant is it? |
| 15:46 |
|
kados |
RC3 |
| 15:46 |
|
kados |
that's FC3 ;-) |
| 15:47 |
|
kados |
good stuff may come of it some day ;-) |
| 15:47 |
|
kados |
it's still just a baby |
| 15:47 |
|
kados |
but it's kina cute ;-) |
| 15:47 |
|
shaun |
o (im running it here - did you get mysql 4 working from rpms or source of some sort?) |
| 15:47 |
|
kados |
I use the official rpms on the mysql site |
| 15:48 |
|
kados |
you'll need the backwards compat rpms too |
| 15:48 |
|
kados |
for some of the libraries that Koha depends on |
| 15:48 |
|
kados |
things like dbi and dbd iirc |
| 16:02 |
|
kados |
two good lines |
| 16:03 |
|
shaun |
??? |
| 16:03 |
|
kados |
sorry ... |
| 16:03 |
|
kados |
wrong # |
| 16:15 |
|
kados |
log "/home/jmf/koha.log" |
| 16:15 |
|
kados |
oops |
| 16:15 |
|
kados |
:-) |
| 16:19 |
|
owen |
kados has slippery fingers ;) |
| 16:21 |
|
shaun |
gtg, bye |

Just looking back on things I missed. Wouldn't Mandrake be a Red Hat variant? |

rach, RHEL 4 was released in my city (Calcutta) yesterday |
| 22:27 |
|
indradg |
I had quite a good discussion with both Redhat and Intel guys looking after the education tech stack in India abt the possibility of having Koha + a CMS system being made available through their distribution n/w in India |
| 22:28 |
|
indradg |
its all very early, but the signs are quite positive :) |
| 22:29 |
|
rach |
excellent |
