15:55 bigbrovar hi guys I deleted all the biblios records on the koha am setting up using this command perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib /usr/share/koha/bin/migrati​on_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -d -commit 1000 -file /tmp/marcfile.mrc after which I rebuild my index withrebuild_zebra.pl -a -b -r but the deleted items still shows on opac when I search?
15:55 bigbrovar is there a way I can prevent deleted items from showing among opac searches?
15:56 LBA left #koha
16:00 jcamins_a bigbrovar: http://koha-community.org/docu[…]faq/searching/#20
16:00 jcamins_a Check your KOHA_CONF and PERL5LIB variables.
16:01 bigbrovar I already followed that. and PERL5LIB is exported. the command runs fine without errors
16:01 jcamins_a Hm.
16:01 bigbrovar I followed that page while googling
16:02 jcamins_a Are the records actually in the catalog? I mean, can you view them?
16:02 bigbrovar nope when I try to click them it gives an error
16:02 jcamins_a Okay.
16:03 jcamins_a Oh, are you running the rebuild_zebra command as the right user?
16:03 bigbrovar but it still shows up when I search
16:03 bigbrovar yeah I am running as the koha user
16:03 jcamins_a Try the steps in the first item on that page.
16:04 bigbrovar perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib /usr/share/koha/bin/migrat​ion_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -a -b -r -v  is suppose to rebuild the index right?
16:04 matts left #koha
16:04 bigbrovar ok let me get to that
16:05 jcamins_a What do you get when you run `echo $KOHA_CONF`
16:06 matts joined #koha
16:06 bigbrovar '/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml'
16:07 jcamins_a Okay, that looks fine.
16:10 bigbrovar tried it and still same problem :(
16:10 jcamins_a I'm out of ideas.
16:10 jcamins_a Try again in another hour or two... some NZers might be online. :)
16:10 bigbrovar thanks anyway u have been helpful
16:11 bigbrovar sure thanks
16:11 jcamins_a Unfortunately, I actually have to run... I have a job way out in Queens in an hour. Good luck!
17:17 bigbrovar can someone help me I am trying to wipe all records items, biblos from my koha what is the best way to do this.
17:17 bigbrovar I have used
17:17 bigbrovar 'perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib /usr/share/koha/bin/migrati​on_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -d -file /tmp/lessonlearned.mrc '
17:19 bigbrovar and also followed instructions here 'http://koha-community.org/docu[…]/faq/searching/#5' and it still wont help
17:20 brendan you could just delete from biblio (and biblioitems) and that should do the trick
17:20 bigbrovar everytime I search opac and even the staff client the "deleted" records still show up
17:20 brendan then of course you need to reindex
17:21 bigbrovar thanks how do I do that. from staff client or commandline
17:21 brendan in the mysql command
17:21 bigbrovar that is exactly what I have been looking for
17:21 bigbrovar hmm
17:22 bigbrovar am not sure I am that competent with mysql perhaps  who could give me some pointers?
17:26 brendan delete from biblio;
17:33 hdl joined #koha
17:34 bigbrovar thanks I did that and it ran without errors after which I reindex however I can still see "deleted items" when I search opac
17:36 bigbrovar brendan: although when I try to view any of the entries it gives an error
17:36 bigbrovar a 404
17:36 brendan you can't reindex nothing in there
17:36 brendan you need to but something in there to reindex
17:36 brendan s/but/put
17:36 bigbrovar thanks
17:37 bigbrovar so if I import a new marc it would replace the deleted entries showing up when I search?
17:37 bigbrovar after I reindex that is
17:40 brendan yes
18:00 brendan sad news -> http://www.latimes.com/news/lo[…]482424,full.story

21:31 slef cafenet dns doesn't like software.coop either
21:32 slef I had to login by ip :-/
21:32 sekjal I believe the bug mentioned in the video has to do with the ICU chains for Zebra
21:32 wizzyrea yikes

22:02 wizzyrea you can really get the before -> after
22:02 wizzyrea I realllllyyy want to do this in kansas, for statewide :P
22:03 wizzyrea not sure how to motivate *kansans* to contribute their collections, though. :/
22:03 wizzyrea it's probably all in the selling
22:04 slef there's no place like kete?

22:08 * robin_ builds 3.2 debian packages
22:08 wizzyrea oo, that's neat too
22:08 wizzyrea google maps mashups are always so col
22:08 wizzyrea cool*
22:09 darling yeah, maps are just fun
22:10 slef openstreetmap!
22:10 darling I should look more at that
22:11 slef I think there is an osm layer for googlemaps if you want a quick fix
22:11 slef to avoid having to pay for copyright licensing for commercial use
22:11 wizzyrea I tried to use that on my phone w/ gps, and there were no maps for wellington (though, I spent max 30 mins on it, and probably did it wrong)
22:12 slef although at the mo tons of companies are breaking copyright law with maps
22:12 darling there was some discussion on a local mailing list re nz maps -- I think they do exist but I ferget exactly
22:12 slef I wonder if they will ever start hunting + fining?
22:12 wizzyrea robin++ #for deb packages
22:13 robin_ darling, people don
22:13 robin_ grr
22:13 darling ?
22:13 darling don's here
22:13 robin_ people don't put a lot into OSM here just yet, as we are waiting for people to convert the LINZ maps.
22:14 robin_ (not used to small keyboard)
22:14 darling heh, me too
22:14 robin_ LINZ data is free, it just needs converting.
22:14 robin_ it's what I use in my GPS, as it's updated weekly.
22:15 wizzyrea oo, that's handy to know. The OSM maps had the major roads, but literally nothing for wellington when I was looking on my phone
22:16 darling http://www.linz.govt.nz/
22:17 wizzyrea oo ty
22:17 robin_ If you have a Garmin GPS, this is the most up to date available: http://nzopengps.org/
22:17 wizzyrea my brother works at garmin
22:17 wizzyrea and I do in fact have a garmin, but I left it at home :/
22:17 wizzyrea to buy the maps from them is more than the cost of the GPS
22:17 wizzyrea :((
22:18 robin_ ah, pity :) these maps even have cycle tracks and so on in them, and it's all crowdsourced.
22:18 robin_ Yeah
22:18 slef kete integrates koha with opensearch
22:18 robin_ I fall back to gmaps/osm when overseas.
22:19 robin_ (or when I don't have my GPS, which is most of the time really)
22:19 slef anyone here in #koha not at #kohacon10?
22:19 robin_ slef, timezones mean there won't be many
22:19 slef robin_: yeah just wondering whether to tweet or irc the talks
22:19 robin_ welcome to our usual day :)
22:19 robin_ slef: neither, you should use identi.ca :)
22:20 wizzyrea oo, that's probably preaching to the choir :)
22:22 robin_ Koha version: 3.02.00.004 <-- packaged successfully :)
22:22 * wizzyrea cheers
22:26 nengard where is the katipo git report mentioned in the talk?
22:27 nengard repo - not report
22:27 darling for kete?
22:28 nengard for the koha/kete integration code
22:28 nengard that we can backport to koha 3.2
22:28 nengard if we want :)
22:28 sekjal it sounds like one of the developments I've been working on to Extend This Search into other systems (mostly proprietary at this point)
22:29 sekjal want to merge the two tracks into one logical system/method
22:30 slef robin_: yeah I'm actually denting
22:30 slef two things that suck: releasing koha major version while our #coops senioor #koha dev is afk
22:31 slef and companies selling prerelease #koha to libraries
22:32 slef just to start a riot before the break
22:32 robin_ heh
22:35 * robin_ wonders if there's a Koha history Kete ;)
