Good day everyone |
| 00:05 |
|
Junie |
I am trying to find a list of recomended hardware: scanner, Printers etc that should be used with Koha. am I in the correct Chat? |
| 00:05 |
|
eythian |
you are, though it's not terribly busy on a Saturday. |
| 00:07 |
|
Junie |
Thank you |
| 00:07 |
|
Junie |
do you know where I can find a list of recomended hardware that works with Koha? |
| 00:08 |
|
Junie |
like barcode scanner and printers |
| 00:08 |
|
eythian |
I'm not really sure, but have a look at http://wiki.koha-community.org - there might be stuff there. Basically, for scanners, anything that acts like a keyboard ("keyboard wedge" they're sometimes called.) This is (afaik) most of them. |
| 00:09 |
|
eythian |
for printers, I'm not really sure, but it uses firefox to do the printing, so anything that works with that. You might want to ask on the koha mailing list for recommendations if the wiki doesn't help. |
| 00:09 |
|
eythian |
(I don't usually deal with that aspect of hardware, so don't have a lot to contribue :) |
| 00:10 |
|
Junie |
Thank you for your kind help |
| 00:10 |
|
eythian |
no problem |
| 00:10 |
|
Junie |
I did look at the wiki and did not find anything. I will look again and will try the forum |

eythian: I have a really weird error. |
| 00:26 |
|
eythian |
OK... |
| 00:26 |

I'm getting that error from koha-rebuild-zebra. |
| 00:27 |
|
jcamins_away |
I'm about to inspect that line in rebuild_zebra. |
| 00:28 |
|
eythian |
tjat |
| 00:28 |
|
eythian |
that's a new one |
| 00:28 |
|
jcamins_away |
And I can confirm, there are approximately an absurd number of directories in /tmp |
| 00:28 |
|
eythian |
ah |
| 00:28 |
|
eythian |
hmm |
| 00:28 |
|
eythian |
that's probably it |
| 00:29 |
|
jcamins_away |
They're all from rebuild_zebra. |
| 00:29 |
|
jcamins_away |
Which is running only from koha-rebuild-zebra. |
| 00:29 |
|
jcamins_away |
I guess you've never seen this before? |
| 00:29 |
|
eythian |
there is/was a bug that I kept fixing and it kept coming back that caused rebuild_zebra to refuse to delete stuff from /tmp if ~root is not writable. |
| 00:29 |
|
eythian |
rather |
| 00:29 |
|
eythian |
not readable by non-root |
| 00:29 |
|
eythian |
I thought I'd finally nailed it though, but maybe not... |
| 00:29 |
|
jcamins_away |
This isn't latest master. |
| 00:30 |
|
jcamins_away |
It took this error several weeks to show up. |
| 00:30 |
|
eythian |
I thought I fixed it in 3.2 days |
| 00:30 |
|
jcamins_away |
Oh. |
| 00:30 |
|
jcamins_away |
Well, it seems to be back? |
| 00:30 |
|
eythian |
but, it was prone to returning |

melia left #koha |
| 00:31 |
|
eythian |
so maybe it's similar-but-different |
| 00:31 |
|
eythian |
I'd clean out /tmp, then at least it'll be easier to diagnose :) |
| 00:34 |
|
jcamins_away |
So... how long does it take for 32k entries to be created? |
| 00:35 |
|
eythian |
at a rate of 4 per hour, ~8,000 hours. |
| 00:36 |
|
eythian |
more if you have more than one site on that host, so rebuild zebra happens more often. |
| 00:36 |
|
jcamins_away |
I'm rebuilding at a rate of 12 times/hour for... four instances.. |
| 00:37 |
|
eythian |
OK, so then quite a bit shorter :) |
| 00:37 |
|
jcamins_away |
And, sure enough, it took about a month for me to notice the problem. |
| 00:38 |
|
eythian |
we usually saw it as the /tmp space running out |
| 00:38 |
|
eythian |
The problem then was that the File::Temp code would chdir to ~ before deleting, however ~ was root, but the process wasn't running as root, so it failed. |
| 00:39 |
|
eythian |
*however ~ was /root |
| 00:39 |
|
jcamins_away |
Hmmm... how does one fix that? |
| 00:39 |
|
eythian |
that may or may not be what you're seeing though, I'm quite sure I fixed that particular case. |
| 00:40 |
|
eythian |
To start with, I'd write a test script that creates a temp dir, and see if that fails to remove the dir. From there, you can trace it easier. |
| 00:40 |
|
eythian |
oh, I just remembered how I fixed it: |
| 00:41 |
|
eythian |
sudo -u "$name-koha" -H \ |
| 00:41 |
|
eythian |
env PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib \ |
| 00:41 |
|
eythian |
KOHA_CONF="/etc/koha/sites/$name/koha-conf.xml" \ |
| 00:41 |
|
eythian |
/usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl $@ |
| 00:41 |
|
eythian |
the -H updates $HOME |
| 00:41 |
|
eythian |
so that it's no longer root, but the home dir of $name-koha |
| 00:42 |
|
jcamins_away |
Well, that's there. |
| 00:42 |
|
eythian |
if you test this, make sure you start as root and use sudo in a similar fashion to however you're doing it. It's likely a subtle environment thing. |
| 00:42 |
|
eythian |
maybe $HOME of $name-koha isn't readable by the $name-koha user on your system |
| 00:43 |
|
jcamins_away |
Bingo! |
| 00:43 |
|
jcamins_away |
Bug in koha-restore. |
| 00:43 |
|
eythian |
ah, it doesn't set the $HOME like koha-create does? |
| 00:44 |
|
jcamins_away |
Right. |
| 00:44 |
|
eythian |
cool :) |
| 00:44 |
|
eythian |
well, good to know :) |
| 00:44 |
|
jcamins_away |
Now, how do I change the home for an existing user? |
| 00:44 |
|
jcamins_away |
usermod -d? |
| 00:45 |
|
eythian |
usermod -d /var/lib/koha/$name $name-koha should do it |
| 00:45 |
|
eythian |
or vipw |
| 00:45 |
|
jcamins_away |
Bother. |
| 00:45 |
|
jcamins_away |
"user demo-koha is currently logged in." |
| 00:46 |
|
eythian |
ah, sudo /etc/init.d/koha-common stop |
| 00:46 |
|
eythian |
(and start it when you're done) |
| 00:46 |
|
eythian |
you may also need to stop apache |
| 00:46 |
|
eythian |
or use vipw :) |
| 00:46 |
|
eythian |
and then just restart all the services so they're not confused. |
| 00:48 |
|
jcamins_away |
Thanks. |
| 00:49 |
|
eythian |
no worries |
| 00:50 |
|
jcamins_away |
I guess you don't use koha-restore much? :) |
| 00:52 |

ah, another reason to not use [BZ...] for bugs, it's automatically stripped out sometimes by git. |
| 01:14 |
|
eythian |
(the other reason being I just think it doesn't look nice :) |
| 01:14 |

Hmm... I just did what I thought chris_n said to. |
| 01:14 |

yeah, but when I signed off, git stripped it out. |
