00:02 rangi something/someone ran it before as root

00:10 bencahill rangi: it appears to have worked! now I just need to set up the cron job?
00:10 rangi first try a search
00:10 rangi in koha
00:10 rangi see if its happy
00:10 bencahill rangi: opac?
00:10 wahanui opac is for patrons
00:10 rangi either is fine
00:10 wahanui i already had it that way, rangi.
00:10 rangi and then if its all good, set up the cron job
00:11 rangi ohh cool
00:11 bencahill rangi: searching in cataloging, it says No results found, and gives a bunch of 'Biblios in reservoir' ?
00:12 rangi right, does look like it worked then
00:12 bencahill rangi: what are biblios in reservoir?
00:12 rangi zebrasrv is definitely running eh?
00:12 rangi those are old ones from imports, or z3950 searches
00:12 bencahill rangi: oh, zebrasrv isn't running...wtf?
00:12 rangi that'd do it
00:12 bencahill maybe I didn't start it back up...
00:13 rangi https://github.com/Moerphy/dizzy.js  <-- think ill try using this for my next presentation
00:14 bencahill rangi: that's pretty sweet :)
00:16 bencahill rangi: dumb mistake on my part in the daemon script, all fixed now...and searching works
00:18 rangi sweet
00:19 bencahill rangi: do I make cron run the same thing (-r -a -b -d)?
00:19 rangi nope
00:20 rangi look at the crontab.example in misc/cronjobs
00:20 bencahill s/-d/-v/
00:20 bencahill rangi: oh right...my mind keeps getting messed up here...
00:22 bencahill rangi: I don't need all of those, right? (e.g. we've disabled holds)
00:26 rangi nope just choose the ones you want
00:26 bencahill right...
00:27 eythian rangi: is that the zoomy text ones?
00:28 eythian I dislike those
00:28 rangi you can make it be zoomy text if you want

05:21 eythian ferries are shut down due to heavy swells
05:21 eythian and the power's been blinking a bit again
05:29 cait it's strange to see how a little bit of snow and ice can cause all that
05:30 cait only we are used to it of course
05:30 Oak left #koha
05:32 eythian yeah, it's less of a problem down south where it happens every year or two, but it's every decade or two here.
05:40 rangi well its coupled with lightning strikes, you dont normally get snow, 112kmph gusts and lightning all at the same time
05:41 rangi 8m the swell was today that woulda been fun

05:56 magnuse it's never too cold for rugby, eh?
05:56 rangi apparently not
05:56 rangi netball is worse
05:56 magnuse netball?
05:56 wahanui netball is worse
05:57 rangi they cancel club rugby if its really wet
05:57 rangi cos it rips up the field
05:57 rangi netball they play in short skirts in any weather
05:57 eythian rangi: the last time it froze bad in Dunedin (that is, about 3 weeks ago) they held the nude rugby competition.
05:57 rangi Hehe
05:58 eythian that was the weekend the south island was shut down.
05:58 rangi yep
05:58 magnuse "Netball is a ball sport played between two teams of seven players. The sport derived from early versions of basketball and is similar to it in many respects. Netball developed as a distinct sport in the 1890s in England, from which it spread to other countries. It is popular in many Commonwealth nations and is predominantly played by women."
05:58 * magnuse is a little bit wiser
05:59 rangi heh
05:59 rangi its the most popular sport for women in nz
06:00 magnuse hm, and i never heard of it... or perhaps i (would) have mistaken it for basketball....
06:00 rangi I spent many hours on the sideline at the haitaitai netball courts watching
06:00 rangi nope, no backboard
06:00 rangi no dribbling
06:01 eythian yeah, it looks very different to basketball
06:01 magnuse "From the start, netball was viewed as an appropriate sport for women to play, with restricted movement that appealed to contemporary notions on women's participation in sports, while remaining distinct from potentially rival male sports."
06:01 rangi its kinda like handball
06:01 magnuse ah
06:01 rangi but with a hoop and more rules :)
06:01 magnuse probably says something about my interest in sports...
06:02 cait magnuse: I share your interest in sports ;9
06:02 cait ;)
06:02 rangi imagine basketball but you had to freeze when u catch the ball
06:02 rangi can only pass
06:03 rangi and have 3 seconds to do so
06:03 * magnuse tries, but gives up ;-)

11:39 magnuse i have had two beta testers so far
11:39 magnuse it could 3 or 100...
11:40 * druthb would *so* do that, if she had the resource to do so.  Maybe.....
11:40 druthb I like your terms on that, too...very sensible.
11:40 magnuse thanks, i was a bit worried about them

11:59 jwagner When I retire, and can spare the time for taking a ship across, I really want to spend a lot of time in NZ and Australia.  But I can't face that flight again....
11:59 kf I think we all do...
11:59 NateC Hi kf!
11:59 kf yes, the flight was loooong.
11:59 NateC I actually did not mind the flight at all, weird I know...
12:00 magnuse hm, the memories have faded for me, i think of it as "not too bad"
12:00 magnuse the flights, that is
12:00 magnuse and i had ~36 hours each way...
12:00 NateC ouch
12:00 NateC thats a lot
12:00 NateC I think mine was like 22 hours each way
12:01 NateC but I actually found it better than many flights I take from NY to LA
12:01 magnuse and i MUST see the south island some time, preferably within the next 10-15 years or so...
12:01 NateC must have been that NZ hospitality
12:01 magnuse hehe

12:58 Guillaume joined #koha
13:05 slef Aren't Qantas about to offshore a load of their operation to Asia because Australia won't let them cut service down enough?
13:06 jwagner No idea on that.  I just know the service, attention, and comfort on the Quantas flights were _FAR_ above anything U.S. airlines are offering these days.
13:06 slef wow, stuff.co.nz doesn't have a non-js search
13:07 slef http://www.abc.net.au/news/201[…]ical-heat/2844026
13:07 slef Don't worry jwagner. The US is encouraging the rest of the world to race to the bottom with it.
13:08 oleonard Isn't that the truth.
13:09 jwagner It would be nice to think that good airline service still exists somewhere...
13:09 slef AirNZ is the best I've experienced in over a decade.
13:12 jwagner I took a puddlejumper from Wellington to Rotorua and was surprised to find that there was actual LEGROOM!  Definitely not something you find on puddlejumpers in the U.S.  Or on big planes, for that matter.

13:38 libsysguy can anybody tell me what $|=1 does in perl?
13:40 magnuse something to do with flushing output, i think?
13:40 libsysguy hmm...i see it all the time in druthb scripts
13:40 libsysguy but i could never figure out what it did
13:42 magnuse "If set to nonzero, forces an fflush(3) after every write or print on the currently selected output channel"
13:42 magnuse ...according to "perl in a nutshell"
13:42 libsysguy ahh...man i knew i should have gotten a book lol
13:45 magnuse :-)
13:45 libsysguy magnuse++
13:47 magnuse libsysguy: you can also do "perldoc perlvar" and search for AUTOFLUSH
13:48 libsysguy cool thanks magnuse...i was just doing a search for that expression earlier and I was getting stuff about G+
13:49 magnuse heh
13:49 magnuse in perldoc perlvar you can also search for \$\|

14:02 wizzyrea i'm sad I missed a discussion of air travel to NZ
14:02 jwagner Never too late to resurrect it, wizzyrea!
14:02 wizzyrea :)
14:02 magnuse what jwagner said!
14:03 wizzyrea US -> NZ = AirNZ, and simply awesome. NZ -> AUS = AirNZ, also awesome. AUS -> US = Delta...
14:03 wizzyrea not so awesome.
14:04 oleonard Is this why wizzyrea? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elD38pJX7iE
14:04 jwagner Being in a cranky mood I sent a complaint letter to Delta a couple of weeks ago.  They gave me some extra FF miles but didn't explain or apologize what I was complaining about.....
14:05 wizzyrea hehehe I don't think there were any naked flight attendants on my flight
14:06 kmkale joined #koha
14:06 magnuse sounds like something you'd remember...
14:06 Agent_Dani O.o
14:07 jcamins_away Naked flight attendants? Why would there be naked flight attendants?
14:07 wizzyrea click that link up there jcamins_away
14:07 wizzyrea those aren't clothes they're wearing
14:09 kmkale left #koha
14:09 jcamins_away Wow.
14:09 magnuse hehe
14:09 wizzyrea but the real proper answer is "why aren't there naked flight attendants"
14:11 jcamins_away Shari had already seen that, but I hadn't. I hope the makeup people got a bonus for that ad.
14:13 oleonard For some, working on that ad /was/ the bonus!
14:13 wizzyrea ooh la la
14:13 jcamins_away Heh.
14:14 jcamins_away Apparently the concept of NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) has been replaced by BANANA (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything).
14:14 jwagner I dunno.  I'm always freezing cold on airplanes, and I imagine naked flight attendants would be too...
14:20 wizzyrea jcamins_away: is there context there that I'm missing?

14:39 tcohen has anyone experienced problems installing translations on fresh 3.4.3?
14:40 tcohen I get:
14:40 tcohen Malformed UTF-8 character (fatal) at /usr/lib/perl5/XML/LibXML/Error.pm line 217.
14:40 tcohen BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at LangInstaller.pm line 23.
14:40 tcohen Compilation failed in require at translate line 25.
14:40 tcohen BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at translate line 25.
14:41 tcohen (running PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha_xxx/lib/ perl translate install es-ES BTW)
14:43 jcamins_away tcohen: corrupted po file.
14:43 jcamins_away tcohen: I had that error at some point.
14:44 jcamins_away The problem had something to do with a non-ascii character preceding "%s" IIRC.
14:44 tcohen jcamins_away: maybe, just got the po files from translate.koha...
14:44 rhcl joined #koha
14:44 tcohen is there a way to test po files?
14:45 jcamins_away And you checked that the right XML parser is in use, correct?
14:45 jcamins_away tcohen: I'm not sure. I don't actually know anything about translations.
14:46 tcohen mmm, I get the same error with every language I test
14:47 tcohen will delete everything and reinstall
14:47 wizzyrea chekc your xml parser before you do that?
14:47 wizzyrea sec and I'll find the instructions
14:47 tcohen I changed the parser AFTER installing
14:47 tcohen perhaps the installer did weird things
14:47 tcohen using a bad parser
14:48 wizzyrea that shouldn't matter, as long as it's the right one. keyword *shouldn't*
14:49 tcohen wizzyrea, if the install procedure used the bad one, maybe weird things happened, *maybe*
14:50 tcohen he
14:50 wizzyrea maybe
14:52 tcohen perl translate install fr-FR
14:52 tcohen Malformed UTF-8 character (fatal) at /usr/lib/perl5/XML/LibXML/Error.pm line 217.
14:52 tcohen damn
15:05 tcohen ok, can't reproduce anymore
15:06 tcohen it looks like perl Makefile.PL using a bad parser Expat here

16:13 slef tcohen: briefly. It seemed to work but I got interrupted
16:13 slef tcohen: any suggestion what it might break?
16:14 tcohen as it is related to have access to koha-conf.xml stuff
16:14 tcohen almost nothing should work
16:14 tcohen if anything went wrong
16:15 tcohen maybe you could make some change in koha-conf.xml and test if it is actually using memcached

16:22 libsysguy so I have a print slip question
16:23 libsysguy when i print a slip it prints a whole giant page of whitespace after the bits of information
16:23 libsysguy is there anyway to adjust that or has anybody even run across it before
16:23 rhcl oh yes. well, you're talkiing about receipts, right?
16:23 hdl left #koha
16:23 libsysguy yes
16:24 rhcl OK, well, assuming there isn't the whitespace being introduced (via \n or whatever) in some custom scripting you might have done....
16:25 rhcl most of the whitespace is controlled in the application (browser) itself.

16:49 rhcl BTW, I have this nascent project to get receipt printers working perfectly w/ Linux. I'm on this drive to get all our staff computers to free operating systems (i.e. Linux) as much as I can.
16:50 rhcl I've gotten Mint worked into several of our staff positions...but receipt printers are a problem and I need to sit down and work on the problems
16:51 libsysguy printer and *nix are sometimes quite an animal

16:54 rhcl well, I wouldn't think so. Back in the good old days when unix was invented everything was a line printer...which is essentially what a receipt printer is. I'd expect them to work easy as cake with Linux
16:54 wizzyrea libsysguy: I bet you need to look at http://www.nexpresslibrary.org[…]receipt-printers/
16:55 wizzyrea nothing on star, but lots on configuring firefox
16:56 wizzyrea libsysguy: specifically

16:56 libsysguy you guys are the best
16:56 * libsysguy has had a stressful week :'(
16:56 wizzyrea we've done it, no reason for you to suffer :)
16:56 wizzyrea boo
16:57 libsysguy yeah in the process of testing the hourly branch we found out it broke dropbox returns  :'(
16:57 wizzyrea i remember :(
16:57 rhcl wizzy has good, clear instructions
16:57 rhcl on her site
16:57 wizzyrea that same info is in the manual, I believe
16:58 rhcl well, there you go. read the directions like I don't

17:39 nengard hello all, i have a runtime parameter question - when I was writing up the manual someone told me that item types was one of the authorized values that genereated a pull down - but when I did <<Item|itemtype>> or <<Item|itype>> I got a blank pull down ... anyone know if this works or if i'm doing something wrong?
17:40 cait I think it should work
17:40 cait and it sounds familiar
17:40 cait ...
17:43 cait I thought I had a bug for that
18:15 oleonard-away is now known as oleonard
18:21 nengard sorry cait i got distracted
18:21 nengard so you think it's a bug?
18:21 cait I didn't find a bug
18:22 cait but I think I had the problem before
18:22 nengard okay, i'll report it then
18:22 cait and itemtype should work according to the description
18:22 cait http://git.koha-community.org/[…]39b1b073f0db80b45
18:23 cait even authorised values should?

18:25 huginn wizzyrea: The operation succeeded.
18:25 wizzyrea hiya
18:34 libsysguy_afk man I have hit more Koha errors this week than I ever thought possible
18:36 cait there are times like this
18:36 cait some days you think everything is going to fall apart
18:36 cait but there are lots of other days too :)
18:37 libsysguy_afk yeah well A lot of it is being caused by hourly loans i think
18:37 libsysguy_afk is now known as libsysguy
18:43 libsysguy so when i try and place a hold on an item I get a message saying none of the items can be placed on hold because no items are available
18:43 libsysguy but i get that they are available in search results
18:46 cait hm
18:47 cait you also get that I think when you have no defaultdefaultdefault rule
18:47 cait have you tried that?
18:47 cait also maxreserves in conditions needs to be a high value
18:47 cait not null or empty
18:48 libsysguy so all of those are sysprefs?
18:50 libsysguy cait I'm not sure what defaultdefaultdefault rule is?
18:50 cait in the conditions
18:51 cait add a loan rule for default library default itemtype and default categorytype
18:51 jwagner In the circ rules
18:51 cait and the reserves in the circ rules - not null or empty
18:51 SEKLS joined #koha
18:52 cait and if there is still a system preference, maxreserves, check that too
18:52 SEKLS left #koha
18:55 libsysguy hmm i still get that error
18:55 libsysguy so i set a default rule for all libraries to allow holds on tyle BOOK
18:55 libsysguy and it is a book that i am trying to place a hold on
18:56 cait no
18:56 cait make a default defalut default rule
18:56 cait even if you overwrite it by something else
18:56 libsysguy oh ok
18:56 cait it's the trick :)
18:57 * libsysguy wishes his boss was here
18:57 libsysguy she usually handles the circ rules
19:03 cait so didn't work?

19:36 libsysguy yes I do...cait got it working for me
19:37 libsysguy i didn't have my all all all value set
19:37 wizzyrea cool

21:19 wizzyrea oh I wonder if that's why nicole's thing was failing yesterday?
21:19 rangi not sure
21:19 wizzyrea i bet so
21:20 wizzyrea you have a test file for that?
21:21 rangi not handy
21:21 rangi but all that needs to be tested, is with it applied
21:21 rangi can you still import a framework
21:21 wizzyrea k

21:34 Brooke what?
21:34 wizzyrea I exported a framework on windows, edited it
21:35 wizzyrea then tried to reimport it
21:35 wizzyrea and supposedly with this patch it's supposed to work?
21:35 wizzyrea but it doesn't seem to
21:35 Brooke hmph
21:36 wizzyrea hmph indeed
21:37 rangi hmmm
21:37 wizzyrea un mo
21:38 wizzyrea it may have to do with office
21:38 rangi to test i just added some \r and made sure they were stripped
21:38 Brooke WordPad ftw
21:38 Brooke office puts gobbledygook into things
21:39 wizzyrea let me send you this file I'm trying with
21:40 wizzyrea this is the error
21:40 wizzyrea http://screencast.com/t/T7riHUzzAb7q
21:40 rangi hmm yeah
21:40 rangi that patch should have no effect on that
21:41 rangi all it does is change 2 chomps
21:41 wizzyrea let me see if I can export/import from this computer here, instead of windows
21:42 wizzyrea aand it works on my mac
21:42 wizzyrea interesting
21:42 wahanui interesting is sometimes bad or sometimes good
21:43 wizzyrea soo...
21:43 wizzyrea hm
21:43 rangi did you try exportint and importing on windows with no edits, and then open it in word pard
21:43 rangi pad and save it, and try again
21:43 wizzyrea k i will try that
21:43 wizzyrea 1s
21:45 wizzyrea i'm doing this through logmein
21:47 wizzyrea interesting
21:47 wahanui interesting is sometimes bad or sometimes good
21:47 wizzyrea can you do this rangi - export a framework, edit it (any way), then reimport
21:48 wizzyrea what I edited
21:48 wizzyrea was a 'mandatory' setting
21:48 wizzyrea maybe the one I'm setting as mandatory can't be changed?
21:48 wizzyrea can't/shouldn't
21:48 * wizzyrea tries editing something else.
21:49 wizzyrea no, that's not it
21:49 wizzyrea this might be something else
21:50 wizzyrea a different problem
21:50 wizzyrea unrelated to the patch at hand.
21:50 wizzyrea let me roll it back and see if it's still the same ( I bet it is)
21:50 rangi yeah i think so
21:51 wizzyrea yea it does it without the patch too
21:51 wizzyrea this must be the thing nicole came up against

21:56 rangi yup

22:52 rhcl OK, some info is apparently drawn from from administration - libraries and groups, but other than that bg is right
22:52 bg one way to do it so you can upgrade easily is to create another theme instead of prod
22:52 libsysguy ok so where is that template file
22:53 rhcl you know, we were talking about funding work on that too....customizable receipts
22:53 libsysguy yeah I should have done that from the start
22:53 bg it's a not so small project…  so we needed a few libraries to join
22:53 rhcl I think it turned out to be more expensive than what we thought, so have it on hold
22:54 rhcl but yea, if we could get some other input we'd be willing to help fund
22:54 bg the idea would be that you could edit receipts like you could edit notices
22:54 bg great rhcl I'll let meliameggs know
22:54 rhcl even that is a little rudimentary
22:54 rhcl I think sekjal has this in his notes somewhere
22:55 rhcl We talked about it with him some
22:55 bg yup I'm sure he does…  meliameggs is going to be helping sekjal out
22:56 rhcl sekjal always seems like he's busy w/ stuff...
22:56 libsysguy i think it is because he is lol
22:57 bg yup so we've got someone to help him out now
22:57 bg meliameggs started last week and she's awesome
22:57 meliameggs :)
22:57 rhcl wizzy I _think_ was interested in receipts too...maybe we should get her online and we can talk about that effort
22:59 bg yup that sounds about right - and maybe nora too
22:59 * bg has always wondered why nora doesn't hang out here during the day
23:00 bg I think I need to prod here
23:00 bg her
23:00 bg whoops
23:00 bg ;)
23:04 rhcl I need to go check on a program thats starting right now...ltr

23:23 rangi pushed
23:24 libsysguy applied
23:24 libsysguy i wish i had a test book to see if it worked...maybe i can go upstairs in the dark and find one lol
23:28 libsysguy sweet looked like it worked...or at least didn't give me an error this time
