00:05 huginn slef: sekjal was last seen in #koha 10 hours, 49 minutes, and 29 seconds ago: <sekjal> hey, all, I can't stay long (meetings), but I wanted to thank everyone working on the signoffs today.  I'll try to make sure those are pushed through QA as quickly as I can
00:05 pianohacker oh, right
00:05 pianohacker thanks
00:07 eythian pianohacker: rangi won't be around much today, I expect. He's up north telling people they want Koha.
00:07 pianohacker eythian: ok, thanks
00:08 pianohacker In that case, does anyone know what the procedure is for a patch that fails signoff or qa? Resubmit, or an additional patch?
00:09 eythian whichever suits the situation I expect.
00:11 slef resubmit 9/10?

01:10 steven hi anyone there?
01:11 steven i'm using koha 3.2.0...but i would like to upgrade to the latest 3.4.1, can anyone guide me on how to upgrade it?
01:13 slef steven: have you seen the UPGRADE section of the INSTALL file in the download?
01:14 slef pianohacker: I tweaked your bug 6492 patch a little during signoff and fluffed the description layout a bit. Hope you don't mind.
01:14 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6492 critical, PATCH-Sent, ---, pianohacker, ASSIGNED , Deleted biblios cause rebuild_zebra to fail
01:14 steven slef: how can I access the INSTALL file?
01:16 mtj sorry, got distracted..
01:16 slef steven: when you unpack the koha 3.4.1 download, there will be a choice of INSTALL files in it.
01:17 mtj steven: or look in the Koha git repo
01:17 mtj http://git.koha-community.org/[…]oha.git;a=summary
01:17 slef http://git.koha-community.org/[…]693300df8fa9fb0f6 is 3.4.1
01:17 mtj http://git.koha-community.org/[…]p=koha.git;a=tree
01:18 mtj http://git.koha-community.org/[…]7e91b6efd;hb=HEAD
01:18 slef 3.4.1 is http://git.koha-community.org/[…]693300df8fa9fb0f6 rather
01:18 slef 3.4.1?
01:18 wahanui 3.4.1 is http://git.koha-community.org/[…]693300df8fa9fb0f6 rather
01:18 slef :)
01:18 mtj ah, even better :)
01:19 steven so i dont need to backup mySQL database during upgrading?
01:19 slef steven: it would be a good idea to do so.
01:19 slef steven: you should be backing it up regularly anyway IMO.
01:20 mtj slef: could i pick your brain about my 3m-SC problem?
01:20 mtj steven: you deserve a slap for that :)
01:20 slef mtj: my brain is asleep :-(  I don't remember seeing that error.  Seems like the sort of thing that would be on the web.
01:21 mtj its a more subtle problem that that
01:21 druthb left #koha
01:21 steven ya...i do backup for the whole system....
01:21 slef hmm, "BAD SEQUENCE" is not a search-engine friendly term
01:22 slef steven: it's worth taking a backup before you upgrade, to give an easier escape route if things go wrong.
01:24 steven so in term of variable and database structure using between 3.2.0 and 3.4.1....is there any changes?
01:24 mtj im hoping my 3m problem turns out to be a hardware clock bug :/
01:25 mtj the 3m was 50 seconds fast, with a busted ntpd
01:26 mtj steven: yep
01:26 steven so how is the command for upgrading?
01:27 mtj ive only used git , so far
01:27 mtj but i recommend the deb packages
01:28 steven i just downloaded the tar.gz version
01:29 steven previously i m using koha live cd to complete the installation....so i am not so familiar with the command in ubuntu platform
01:30 mtj http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
01:31 mtj ah, i dont think the deb packages have been built for 3.4
01:32 mtj so... i recommend git
01:32 steven bcoz i m using ubuntu....
01:32 eythian there are no packages for 3.4 yet, but they will hopefully be coming with the nest release, there were issues that had to be fixed.
01:32 steven and i m new to the platform actually...so i dont have much acknowledge
01:33 steven then can i update to 3.2.9?
01:33 steven *knowledge
01:33 mtj use debian if you are serious about a production Koha install
01:33 mtj most Koha dev and prod boxes are debian
01:34 steven how can i convert to debian platform?
01:34 steven u mean i have to re-install the whole system?

08:32 imageologist joined #koha
08:33 imageologist hi,
08:34 magnuse hiya imageologist
08:35 slef magnuse: well, I didn't install the server I'm using.
08:35 imageologist nice to meet u hiya
08:35 imageologist are you using koha?
08:35 imageologist i have some issues
08:36 magnuse nice to meet you too, imageologist
08:36 magnuse imageologist: bring 'em on, and we'll see what we can do
08:36 magnuse we're all koha people in here (but i'm not sure how many people are actually here at the moment ;-)
08:36 imageologist :)
08:37 imageologist i'm looking for Koha for Windows
08:37 imageologist is there any release for windows XP?
08:37 magnuse ah, that's a tough one
08:37 magnuse nope
08:37 magnuse i think maybe you can get 2.2.9 to work, but that is really old now
08:38 imageologist so its purly based on linux
08:38 magnuse do you just want to test koha?
08:38 slef Windows?
08:38 wahanui Windows is only version 7
08:38 magnuse or are you looking to run it on windows in production?
08:38 slef wahanui: forget Windows
08:38 wahanui slef: I forgot windows
08:38 imageologist yeah i found it on http://www.koha.rwjr.com/Koha_[…]indows.html#d0e64
08:39 magnuse the problem is that some of the perl modules koha needs are not easily available for windows at the moment
08:39 imageologist but really its too old... and nothing found any good support regarding 2.2.9 release
08:39 slef Windows is a poor fit for free software like Koha. Some of the thing's we use heavily are not easily available at the moment. No-one's funded Koha 3.x for Windows and I'm not sure who'd be willing to work on it. You are probably best off using a liveCD for testing, then commissioning a GNU/Linux server.
08:40 magnuse but i have heard rumors that http://strawberryperl.com/ will fix this, but i'm not sure when and how
08:40 slef damn, ytpo, never mind
08:40 slef imageologist: any reason not to use GNU/Linux for it?
08:40 magnuse running linux w/koha in a virtual machine is also an option
08:41 slef yeah, server, virtual server, all is good
08:41 imageologist yeah currently i'm testing this VM
08:41 imageologist on Linux
08:42 magnuse there are some notes on koha and strawberry here: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ki/StrawberryPerl but that page has not been updated for a year...
08:43 magnuse imageologist: you have a vm running linux on your windows machine?
08:43 imageologist yes
08:43 magnuse cool
08:43 magnuse that is probably the easiest option
08:44 imageologist yeah... i'm not very much cognizant on Linux
08:45 imageologist i just got a project for a local public library...
08:45 imageologist so that's why... i'm reviewing on koha
08:45 magnuse cool
08:45 imageologist to deploy a completes solution for this library
08:46 magnuse makes me curious as to whereabouts in the world the library is located... ;-)

08:49 alex_a :'(
08:49 slef alex_a: same problem I have with that.
08:49 slef magnuse: pk at a guess.
08:50 slef imageologist: factor in either the cost of learning, or the cost of expert support.  It'll probably still come out ahead.
08:50 magnuse slef, ah yes, probably
08:50 slef alex_a: that is just so I can do this next time we get this FAQ:
08:50 slef Windows?
08:50 wahanui Windows is, like, a poor fit for free software like Koha. Some of the thing's we use heavily are not easily available at the moment. No-one's funded Koha 3.x for Windows and I'm not sure who'd be willing to work on it. You are probably best off using a liveCD for testing, then commissioning a GNU/Linux server

12:55 jwagner Current head, when I run the fines cron I get an error: No branchcode argument to new.  Should be C4::Calendar->new(branchcode => $branchcode) at fines.pl line 135
12:55 jwagner I'm not finding anything in bugzilla for that
12:55 jwagner Any ideas?
12:55 magnuse a bug? ;-)
12:56 jwagner Yeah, I kind of figured that :-)
12:56 jwagner It's been doing it since I updated sometime last week.  I just did another git pull but that didn't fix it.
12:57 jwagner I made sure there was at least one calendar entry.
12:57 magnuse i don't have any libraries using fines yet, so i'm not familiar with it...
12:58 jwagner Surely someone must have run into this by now?
13:04 jwagner Found it, I think -- there's a ghost record in the issues table (deleted item)

13:36 magnuse meeting with a client?
13:36 sekjal magnuse:  yes, a law school library
13:37 sekjal very serials-heavy
13:37 magnuse ah
13:37 sekjal also, their previous ILS had a lot of Acquistions features they've gotten used to, so we have to be able to replicate workflows

14:03 talljoy good morning
14:03 sekjal wizzyrea:  well, perhaps "replicating workflows" is not the right phrase.  The process is variable, so long as the input and output are the same, at a macro level.
14:04 wizzyrea :) I just have a kind of visceral reaction to it, sorry
14:04 sekjal libraries have adapted to some pretty crazy workarounds when their old system wouldn't do what they needed

14:36 Brooke Hooray!
14:38 slef mixed feelings about that one
14:38 sekjal NCARMichael:  are your overdues defined per-branch, or set up for the default branch?
14:41 oleonard slef: Why?
14:44 magnuse is now known as magnus_away
14:44 NCARMichael default branch
14:45 NCARMichael i just wonder if i'm missing a < or a > somewhere
14:46 slef oleonard: As I understand it, that's a move from a commercially-accountable organisation to a state-government-accountable one, taking it further away from its users and developers.
14:48 slef looking more closely, it may be a move from one state's oversight to another, so actually a no-op. (Georgia's GPLS to New York's SFC)
14:49 Brooke you're stretching to apply oversight through 501c3s
14:49 wizzyrea yes, that, thanks
14:50 NCARMichael left #koha
14:50 gmcharlt NCARMichael: check patron 8436; should now be fixed; issue was a hangover from what I did to get the first run of back overdue notices generated
14:55 slef Brooke: so why cheer it moving between them?
14:56 Brooke I cheered at the premise of more collaboration between OS projects.
14:56 rhcl_away is now known as rhcl
14:57 rhcl EG + SFC = good
15:03 gmcharlt slef: the other factor is that is moving away from any one vendor (or any one library, for that matter) asserting control over the EG project's assets and trademarks
15:04 wizzyrea which, as we've seen, is probably best for the project.
15:07 druthb left #koha
15:07 druthb joined #koha
15:08 slef yeah, but is having one non-profit that no community member has a stake in asserting control necessarily any better?
15:09 slef I mean, I've worked for non-profits. Don't assume they're specially godly.
15:09 Brooke that one has a very good reputation
15:09 Brooke conversely, don't assume that they are all corrupt.
15:10 reiveune bye
15:10 reiveune left #koha
15:14 slef Brooke: No assumptions. But do you know what SFC's mission is, as stated in its constitution?
15:15 Brooke Having worked in New York I knew their good reputation.
15:15 Brooke and I can easily look at their mission.
15:15 Brooke I have no idea what benefit sewing panic everywhere you tread reaps.
15:15 kmkale left #koha
15:17 slef Not panic. Just no idea why you thought it worth cheering.
15:17 slef In god we trust. All others bring data.
15:18 Brooke aren't you an atheist?
15:18 slef No.
15:18 Brooke sorry mate, thought ye were ;)
15:18 slef And the data I can see on SFC is ambiguous.
15:18 Brooke what did I say about OCLC?
15:19 slef And there's data I can't see, so it forms no part of the judgement.
15:19 slef the scary people at OCLC mostly work in the legal department?

16:05 druthb This time of year, the DC area being cooler than a steam bath is a blessing.  Sha'n't quibble.
16:05 Brooke true dat druthb

18:08 library_systems_guy sekjal to hide opac items would it just be easier to use the OpacHiddenItems setting?
18:08 sekjal library_systems_guy: I'm not sure that that system preference is working properly...
18:08 sekjal but ideally, yes, that's how you'd hide individual items, but not the whole title
18:10 library_systems_guy I think what we are trying to accomplish is hiding brief titles such as ILL's etc
18:15 sekjal library_systems_guy:  for that, I'd recommend creating (or using) a specific framework for such titles, and setting 942$n to default to 1, then turn on OpacSuppress
18:15 sekjal that'll hide the whole title, which sounds like what you're looking for
18:15 wizzyrea sekjal: that's effin brilliant

22:33 talljoy i've got a zebra question, if anyone is still around.....
22:33 rangi kinda
22:33 talljoy In the install I ran the update-rc.d koha-zebra-daemon defaults command and
22:33 talljoy update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
22:33 talljoy insserv: warning: script 'K01koha-zebra-daemon' missing LSB tags and overrides
22:33 talljoy insserv: warning: script 'koha-zebra-daemon' missing LSB tags and overrides
22:34 rangi yep, that should be ok
22:34 talljoy got that as a 'warning'.  and i can only start the zebra server manually
22:34 rangi ahhh interesting
22:34 rangi on debian?
22:34 talljoy i run zebrasrv -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml to run manually
22:34 talljoy yes debian
22:35 rangi what user do you run that as?
22:35 talljoy root
22:35 rangi ah ha!
22:35 rangi so its a permissions thing
22:35 talljoy i thought root ruled them all?
22:35 rangi if you look at the /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon script
22:36 talljoy yes
22:36 rangi you will see its running as not root (probably as koha)
22:36 rangi should be a USER= bit
22:36 talljoy yes
22:36 talljoy USER=koha
22:36 talljoy can I change it to root?
22:36 rangi so, what user do you run the rebuild_zebra.pl as ?
22:36 talljoy root
22:36 rangi yeah theres the problem
22:36 rangi since root built the indexes
22:36 talljoy but i love being root
22:36 rangi koha cant see them
22:36 rangi yeah ... break that habit ;-)
22:37 talljoy i know
22:37 rangi you will have to chown the dirs, to koha
22:37 rangi then run rebuild_zebra.pl as koha
22:37 rangi eg
22:37 rangi sudo -u koha blah blah
22:37 rangi and then the init.d script will have permissions to run
22:38 talljoy ok. i have to chown the koha-3.4.1 directory to koha
22:38 talljoy any others?
22:38 rangi hmm not that one :)
22:38 talljoy ok. :-)
22:38 rangi try /var/run/koha i think
22:38 rangi and /var/lock/koha
22:38 rangi or /var/lib ?
22:39 talljoy those both show as directories
22:39 rangi its in the koha-zebra-daemon thing
22:40 rangi cool, chown those and see if that works
22:48 * rangi crosses his fingers
22:51 talljoy i did the chown
22:51 talljoy and now i get permission denied to rebuild_zebra
22:52 talljoy root@amigostest2:~# sudo -u koha perl koha-3.4.1/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -z -b -a -v
22:52 rangi ah yeah ull need to find whatever dir it needs changed, and chown that too
22:53 rangi (and make sure your cronjob isnt running as root and clobbering the permissions again ;-))
22:53 talljoy i'm feeling a wipe and reinstall coming on!
22:53 rangi naw
22:53 talljoy which is not a bad thing
22:53 rangi its only one more dir ;)
22:53 talljoy but I feel I've made a hash of this acting as root
22:53 * talljoy must need her ego stroked as root.
22:54 rangi heh
22:54 talljoy i know the cronjob is running as root
22:56 talljoy in my defense...the install instructions say run as system user or directly as root. :-)
22:56 rangi we should fix that ;)

23:06 talljoy LOL
23:06 rangi bingo
23:06 rangi hokay
23:06 * talljoy feels she already mentioned she loves root
23:07 rangi thats kinda messy
23:07 rangi hmm
23:07 rangi you could
23:07 rangi mv koha-3.4.1 /home/koha/
23:08 rangi but that will break your apache config
23:08 talljoy koha@amigostest2:~$ ls
23:08 talljoy koha-3.4.1
23:08 talljoy is there now.  I can reset up apache
23:08 eythian talljoy: /root shouldn't be readable by anyone except root, so sudo'ing to koha makes it break.
23:08 rangi and your koha-conf.xml and koha-zebra-daemon .. those should be it
23:09 rangi just check your rebuild works now :)
23:09 talljoy Can't locate C4/Context.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at koha-3.4.1/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 6.

23:09 talljoy LOL....this I've seen before!
23:09 talljoy time to export
23:11 talljoy the rebuild ran this time
23:11 rangi yay
23:11 talljoy I've got some work to do tomorrow.  For now, I'm going to kick back and have a beer.
23:11 talljoy rangi++
23:11 rangi enjoy the beer ;)
23:12 talljoy thanks for the help!!!  (you too eythian and magnuse)
23:12 talljoy i've earned it today!!
23:12 talljoy is now known as talljoy_away
23:13 magnuse hehe, such fun ;-)
23:17 magnuse rangi or eythian: i created my first package with build-git-snapshot and installed with sudo dpkg -i koha-common_3.4-1~git+20110​522163502.cdf32da0_all.deb; sudo apt-get -f install. now i created an updated version of the package, do i upgrade with the same commands, or is there some other mojo?
23:17 rangi thats it
23:18 rangi you shouldnt ned the -f install though
23:18 rangi just the dpkg -i
23:18 * eythian deletes what he typed
23:18 rangi next step would be to build your own repo
23:18 eythian what rangi said
23:18 rangi and put the package in there
23:18 rangi then just apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
23:18 magnuse yeah, the thought has passed my mind, but i'll try to get the packages working first...
23:18 rangi (when you get a few sites running that becomes very very useful)
23:19 rangi *nod*
23:19 magnuse but just dpkg -i to upgrade, no apt-get?
23:19 rangi yep
23:19 magnuse cool, thanks!
23:19 rangi unless it grizzles about unmet dependencies
23:20 rangi (unlikely)
23:20 magnuse shouldn't do that, i think
23:21 magnuse hm, it does complain about a missing package called xmlstarlet
23:22 rangi ah yeah, ull want that :)
23:29 magnuse hm, that helped, but i'm running into trouble because i have a half-removed instance left over from my koha-remove trouble. i get:
23:29 magnuse sudo koha-remove demo
23:29 magnuse Removing Koha instance demo
23:29 magnuse ERROR 1396 (HY000) at line 1: Operation DROP USER failed for 'koha_demo'@'%'
23:30 eythian it's a pain when it fails, because it aborts the whole process. I need to make it more robust.
23:31 eythian Usually when that happens I remove it by hand.
23:31 magnuse login to mysql as root and remove the user and database?
23:31 eythian yeah
23:32 eythian and /etc/koha/sites/demo, /etc/apache2/sites-*/demo, /var/lib/koha/demo
23:33 eythian and deluser koha-demo
23:33 eythian I should make a 'force remove' option that just busts through and does what it can.
23:34 eythian Patches welcome ;)
23:38 rangi hmm someone gonna do a write up for patch day?
23:38 rangi 33 changed status eh?
23:38 eythian where does one define routing lists? Are they attached to a subscription?
23:38 rangi yes
23:42 magnuse rangi: i thought i'd do a summary and suggest another day for july 8th, when biblibre are having their first sign off etc half day (unless they want to have the day to themselves, of course)
23:43 magnuse havn't gotten the time for it yet, but will do it tomorrow
23:46 magnuse thanks for your help rangi & eythian - the upgrade worked, but sadly not my attempt to fix my css problem... better start diggin around again
23:46 eythian it's a start, anyway :)
23:46 magnuse yup
23:48 rangi cool thanks magnuse
23:48 magnuse and the whole package malarky will be great once i figure out that little css niggle... you guys (and liw) rock!
23:50 magnuse ok, it's 2am and the sun is shining - time to go to bed!
23:50 magnuse see ya!
23:50 rangi sleep well
23:50 magnuse will try...
23:51 eythian bye
23:55 magnuse is now known as magnus_away
