02:10 mtompset I'm familiar with the tarball method. I have done a git install. Need to do a packages install to make sure I understand all three methods.
02:11 Brooke is debian your OS?

02:32 ala_3v0 joined #koha
02:33 ala_3v0 I'm trying to add attributes and identifiers.
02:34 ala_3v0 can that be restricted to certain staffs

02:37 jransom what does privet mean wahanui?
02:37 jransom Wahanui what does provet mean?
02:37 wahanui jransom: bugger all, i dunno
02:37 jransom lol
02:37 Space_Librarian lol
02:37 jransom just as ai thought
02:38 Space_Librarian Who has been teaching wahanui about weeds?
02:38 Brooke roflmao
02:38 jransom privet ....
02:38 jransom some pom I bet
02:38 rangi its russian
02:39 rangi means hello
02:39 jransom well there you go!
02:40 Space_Librarian yet, it's not in google's top 25 results. :p lol
02:40 ala_3v0 can attributes and identifiers be restricted to certain staffs?
02:40 jransom oh well it can't exist then
02:41 Space_Librarian no, because Google knows all. *rolls eyes*
03:02 mtompset Actually, if you thought it was a foreign language, http://translate.google.com/ would be a better place to start.
03:04 mtompset Though, why wasn't it cyrillic? Привет
03:05 mtompset translate google failed to recognize romanized transliterations.

03:38 Shane-S joined #koha
03:39 Shane-S Anyone around that would know where the OPAC search box code can be found it's size in the element "style" tag so I can't affect it via CSS
03:44 mtj Shane-S:  opac.css is a great place to start...
03:45 Space_Librarian toodle pip all - have a lovely weekend. :)
03:58 Shane-S mtj: I found it, it is hard coded in masthead.inc
03:59 Shane-S I took the size % out and put in #transl1{} in my CSS file to allow me to alter it.
03:59 Shane-S I will write myself a note to consider submitting a patch at some point
04:00 mtj cool, yeah - the plan is for every element to have a 'id' value
04:01 mtj could be a nice toy-project to identify which elements are missing id's
04:01 ala_3v0 joined #koha
04:01 mtj ... and perhaps, script a way to generate id's for them
04:07 Shane-S it has an ID, but it was hard coded in the element's style="" tag, which is the top level or I should say it over rides the style sheet
04:08 * mtompset likes the sounds of this conversation, because it implies that a newer version of Koha will be better CSS-able. :)
04:10 Shane-S well I am off to bed, hopefully I will have time to patch some CSS stuff
04:10 mtj Shane-S: yeah, thats a no-no, thats waiting to be fixed
04:12 mtj ... and a script looking for hardcoded  'style' elements, would be revealing too

07:14 magnuse bonjour
07:27 magnuse huh, why am i getting logs of circ events in per-day log files in /tmp after i turned on memcached?
07:28 magnuse and why am i not seeing any effect of <template_cache_dir>/tmp/koh​a/sksk</template_cache_dir>?

07:38 magnuse bonjour paul_p
07:38 magnuse last day before holiday?
07:39 paul_p hi magnuse. Yep, last day before vacations :D :D
07:39 magnuse woohoo :-)
08:12 eythian joined #koha
08:39 mtompset How many hours till you "escape"? ;)
08:43 magnuse hehe, that always cracks me up
08:43 magnuse mikromarc is a norwegian proprietary ils :-)
08:43 eythian why are they sending stuff to/about Koha?
08:44 magnuse well they have a http://paper.li/ thing that picks up stuff from/about koha on twitter :-)
08:45 magnuse eythian: any idea why i'm getting logs of circ events in per-day log files in /tmp after i turned on memcached? the filenames look like koha_esme_2012-08-03.log, so they reflect the names of the koha instances i have created with the packages
08:46 eythian magnuse: I've seen that (I think even without memcached, I think.) Don;t know what causes it though.
08:46 magnuse hm, interesting
08:46 wahanui i think interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad
08:47 magnuse sure wahanui
08:48 magnuse yeah, might be independent of memcached, it just started happening at about the same time i turned memcahed on
08:50 eythian logs in /tmp is a terrible idea anyway.
08:54 magnuse yeah
08:55 magnuse and a quick check seems to indicate that the info in the files is not available in the log viewer in the staff client
08:55 eythian magnuse: I think it's fine-related
08:55 eythian the header is: cardnumber      categorycode    surname firstname       email   phone   address citystate       itemnumber      barcode date_due        type    days_overdue    fine
08:56 magnuse ah yes, that could be
08:56 magnuse hm, i somehow got the impression it was stuff being returned
08:56 magnuse but a log of fines/overdues makes total sense
09:01 magnuse /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/fines.pl seems to be the culprit
09:01 paul_p mtompset = 6 hours before escaping ;-)
09:01 paul_p for now, trying to do something that will please jenkins !!
09:06 magnuse yay
09:08 eythian magnuse: how does it work out the instance name?
09:08 eythian suppose it could be the database name or something...
09:09 magnuse eythian: yup: my $name = C4::Context->config('database');
09:10 magnuse and i don't think it had anything to do with memcached
09:10 magnuse i think i had fines.pl commented out in /etc/cron.daily/koha-common but that got overwritten when i upgraded to 3.8.3
09:11 magnuse and the reason i was just seeing a couple of days worth of log files is that i rebooted the server a couple days ago
09:11 eythian ah right
09:11 eythian makes sense
09:11 magnuse mystery solved :-)
09:11 magnuse but fines should probably write to something like /var/spool/koha ?
09:12 eythian it's a log, if it wants to be logging it should go in /var/log/koha/_instancename_
09:13 eythian having a logbase in koha-conf.xml or some such would help that.
09:13 magnuse there is an --out option to fines.pl, so we could set that when the packages set up the cronjobs, perhaps
09:13 eythian that's a good idea
09:14 magnuse without --out, the location is determined by File::Spec->tmpdir
09:15 eythian OK. Sounds like --out is what we need then. The catch is that the cronjob doesn't know the instancename it's working on :)
09:16 eythian however, having koha-foreach do a search-replace on the command line may be a good idea anyway
09:16 magnuse yeah, that would be very cool! (and useful)
09:21 magnuse eythian: i can report bugs for this, if you don't mind?
09:21 eythian go for it
09:21 magnuse want to be the assignee? i won't have time to look at it for a while
09:22 mbalmer joined #koha
09:24 eythian Just leave it as default
09:25 eythian It'll get looked at some time in the next few years perhaps ;)
09:26 magnuse hehe
09:26 magnuse i was hoping to lure you into a commitment here ;-)

09:30 eythian anyone good at CSS, I want to change an attribute on a span with class name "weight" inside a div with class "results_summary" ... how can I specify that>
09:30 eythian ?
09:31 eythian (and why do people call things dumb names like "weight" that could well be duplicated elsewhere)
09:32 magnuse isn't that just ".results_summary .weight {}"?
09:32 eythian maybe, that's why I'm asking :)
09:34 eythian div.results_summary span.weight {
09:34 eythian display: none;
09:34 eythian }
09:34 eythian that's what I wanted :)
09:34 eythian (I think exactly the same as what you said really)
09:34 magnuse ah, it's for the tag cloud?
09:35 magnuse yeah, you are being a little more specific than me
09:35 eythian no, it's displaying the weight number in the search results
09:35 magnuse oh, ok
09:35 eythian and the weight number is confusing because it's not really meaningful
09:35 eythian (unless you know what weight is etc.
09:35 eythian )
09:36 eythian everyone expects it to be the number of results you get if you click the tag, which it isn't.

10:22 magnuse eythian: what strange behaviour are you seeing?
10:24 eythian http://imgur.com/2duaq <-- magnuse, this
10:25 eythian it's correct in the database
10:27 magnuse ah
10:28 magnuse i have not seen it, but i have not looked for it either...
10:28 magnuse is it only on the detail display, or in result lists too?
10:29 eythian results too
10:31 eythian It's the second person who's reported this

10:36 magnuse eythian: a couple of searches for common norwegian words with "norwegian" letters in them does not reveal any problems, but it might be better hidden...
10:37 eythian hmm
10:37 eythian I wonder why it's showing up for us then...
10:54 mtompset double encoding thing?
10:54 mtompset Nasty.
10:55 mtompset I wonder what SELECT variables LIKE "%colla%"; looks like.
10:55 mtompset And what SELECT variables LIKE "%char%"; looks like.

11:21 mtompset packages?
11:21 wahanui packages is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
11:23 mtompset There... fixed it to redirect properly.
11:23 mtompset double redirections don't work.

11:44 nengard hello all
11:44 nengard nope, i'm done training
11:44 nengard it's just me
11:44 mtompset Did you get my message from the other day about Appendix G?
11:49 mtompset Which reminds me... I need to fix another double redirection.
11:51 mtompset or two...
11:53 mtompset There... Koha 3.2 and 3.4 now redirect to 3.8
11:55 nengard mtompset I don't think I did ? was it here? or email? I didn't check my email yet :)
11:55 mtompset I apologize... it was FB.
11:56 mtompset My brain wasn't working that day. Forgot to look for a koha-docs mailing list, or your email on bug reports or other messages in other groups.

12:22 mtompset I'm hoping this package install goes well... I already fear there are gaps in the wiki page.
12:26 eythian mtompset: that's not valid SQL, so it looks like an error :)
12:26 eythian mtompset: at the moment, the packages wiki page is more a reference than a guide.
12:26 mtompset what's the difference between apache2-mpm-worker and apache2-mpm-itk?
12:26 eythian mtompset: itk allows for processes to change their user id
12:26 mtompset Well, if I have problems... I'm going to flush it out.
12:26 mtompset (add to it)
12:28 mtompset what do you mean it isn't valid SQL.
12:28 mtompset It's valid MySQL.
12:29 mtompset OOPS...
12:29 eythian > SELECT variables LIKE "%colla%";
12:29 mtompset SHOW
12:29 eythian ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'variables' in 'field list'
12:29 eythian :)
12:29 mtompset not SELECT.
12:29 eythian oh ah
12:30 eythian | collation_connection | latin1_swedish_ci |
12:30 eythian | collation_database   | latin1_swedish_ci |
12:30 eythian | collation_server     | latin1_swedish_ci |
12:30 eythian how odd
12:30 mtompset That's wrong!
12:30 eythian yeah, I have a lot of latin1 in there
12:30 eythian I wonder what's changed...
12:30 mtompset the my.cnf
12:31 mtompset That's where I'd go first.
12:32 eythian nothing obvious in there
12:33 eythian my tables are all CHARSET=utf8 however.
12:33 mtompset Oh... that's the other thing...
12:33 mtompset http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]a_on_Ubuntu#MySQL
12:34 mtompset That's why I wrote that messy long section.
12:34 mtompset The client-handshake...
12:34 mtompset totally messes up the collation.
12:40 edveal joined #koha
12:42 mtompset When I do a tarball install... I know where the files are.
12:42 mtompset When I do a git install... I know where the files are...
12:42 mtompset (both are similar... a directory name I choose)
12:42 eythian hmm, setting the client details doesn't work on my setup (and I can't modify the server details)
12:43 * mtompset shrugs, "That's Debian for ya."
12:43 * mtompset grins.
12:44 eythian no, it's because I'm not a DBA so don't have access to our database server :)
12:44 mtompset Ah... the mysql server is on a different machine?
12:45 eythian yeah
12:45 eythian well, in production, not in my test env
12:45 * mtompset nods.
12:45 mtompset Sorry I can't help more.
12:46 mtompset So... back to my long question... where are the files after an apt-get install koha-common?
12:46 eythian it varies
12:47 mtompset I'm assuming the koha-common has no perl Makefile.PL step?
12:47 eythian but mostly under /usr/share/koha
12:47 eythian it does, when the packages are built
12:47 eythian dpkg -L koha-common will give you all the details
12:47 mtompset Okay, that may come in handy.
12:48 mtompset So, does an upgrade simply become a matter of sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade for future installs?
12:49 eythian yeah
12:49 mtompset Or is there still a build step?
12:49 eythian no
12:50 eythian build all happens when the packages are created
12:50 drojf1 joined #koha
12:50 mtompset Ooooh! configuration step of package does the build.
12:51 eythian what do you mean by builld. because I think it's different to what I mean
12:52 mtompset perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; sudo make install
12:53 eythian yeah, that happens on my machine, not on yours
12:53 mtompset So, this install won't have any directory from which to build.
12:54 mtompset Because it is pre-built.
12:54 eythian right
12:54 eythian like all packages
12:55 mtompset which is why you need to edit the koha-sites.conf, because the pre-built version reads that to set things up.
12:56 eythian yeah, sorta. One of these days I'm going to have it ask questions on installation to pre-populate that.
12:57 mtompset That would be a good enhancement.
12:59 mtompset since koha-common comes from k-c.org, if I disable that repo, I could do sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade without actually triggering a koha upgrade, correct?
12:59 ago43 joined #koha
13:01 eythian yeah
13:01 eythian although, it's better to pin it
13:01 kf oleonard++
13:02 * oleonard waves
13:02 mtompset pin it?
13:04 magnuse hm, on 3.8.3 when memcached is activated it's supposed to re-read koha-con.xml every 10 minutes or something, right?
13:04 magnuse *koha-conf.xml
13:05 eythian http://www.debian.org/doc/manu[…]kg_basics.en.html <-- mtompset, 7.12. I use the first method
13:05 eythian (also, I think pinning is the wrong term actually)
13:07 mtompset https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto the Apt/Dpkg method is a different syntax to what you linked to, but the same thing generally.
13:08 eythian pinning is more about picking newer versions of things from one repo without taking everything
13:08 eythian fixed the double encoding problem
13:08 magnuse yay
13:08 eythian turns out to be actual bad data from a strange earlier incarnation of the database
13:09 eythian (that I'd fixed, but that caused the encoding to get confused)
13:09 mtompset so it's your own fault? ;)
13:09 eythian Sorta :)
13:10 mtompset NOOOOOO! Not triggers for man-db!
13:10 mtompset I really dislike that... So slow. :)
13:10 tcohen joined #koha
13:11 mtompset Good day, tcohen.
13:11 tcohen hi mtompset
13:14 mtompset I'm tinkering with a koha-common install. What are you up to today?
13:20 tcohen joined #koha
13:22 mtompset Interesting... the koha-common didn't force a kernel upgrade on me. :)
13:23 eythian ...why would it?
13:23 mtompset because the tarball did?
13:23 NateC joined #koha
13:23 eythian what?
13:24 eythian how would the tarball do that?
13:24 mtompset I haven't tried to figure out why, but it does.
13:25 eythian but it can't
13:25 eythian the tarball doesn't even know what apt or a kernel is
13:25 mtompset dselect may.
13:26 mtompset when you do the build from the tarball, it triggers some package somewhere that triggers a kernel upgrade.
13:26 mtompset take a look at install_misc/ubuntu.12.04.packages
13:26 mtompset that may give you clues why. I haven't had time to make sense of it.
13:27 eythian Well, if you have apt stuff happening, and a kernel update is available I could see it prompting you.
13:27 mtompset right.
13:27 eythian But I can't see it forcing the kernel devs to sit down and make a new one for you just to install koha with :)
13:28 mtompset But seeing as the kernel is NOT listed in the install set, I don't know what it triggering it to show up in the list of things to install.
13:28 mtompset what IS triggering.
13:31 eythian Well, presumably part of the process triggers an apt update
13:31 eythian and trhen when it makes everything installed, it does updates at the same time
13:34 mtompset yes, but if I apt-get update and apt-get upgrade... the kernel is typically held back.
13:35 eythian hmm, I've not noticed that
13:37 mveron joined #koha
13:38 mtompset At least under Ubuntu.
13:38 mtompset Anyways... okay, I'm a little stuck now.
13:39 mtompset I've got the koha-common installed
13:39 mtompset I edit'd the file with .localdomain as suggested.
13:39 mtompset I now have a DB which I want to use.
13:39 mtompset From our existing system.
13:40 eythian I recommend not doing that
13:40 mtompset oh?
13:40 eythian or, setting everything up and having the packages set up the db then importing the content into it
13:40 mtompset Then how would I get the data in?
13:40 eythian just import the dump, I mean
13:40 eythian it's pretty easy
13:40 mtompset how does that relate to the default.sql.gz?
13:41 eythian default.sql.gz is intended if you have a template you like to include on all your initial instances.
13:41 mtompset Ah.
13:41 mtompset Initial dummy data.
13:42 eythian yeah
13:43 mtompset Okay... so then I shouldn't have a default.sql.gz... okay
13:43 eythian yeah, just if you want it
13:43 mtompset empty string, or delete line?
13:44 eythian either works, probably delete line

13:47 mtompset Do I even know an instance name before I run koha-create?
13:47 mtompset or does instance name = db name?
13:48 eythian mtompset: instance name is the name of your library, or whatever
13:48 mtompset it has no relation to the dbname?
13:50 eythian it does, in the sense that the dbname is derived from it
13:52 mtompset unless otherwise specified in the /etc/koha/passwd file?
13:53 eythian yeah, I think. I've never used that file.
13:53 mtompset Well, it seems like a good time to test it then. ;)
13:53 eythian It needs to be a bit less prominent, that mention of the passwd file. It's not really used most of the time.
13:54 maximep joined #koha
13:55 mtompset But most of the time, you are starting from scratch.
13:55 mtompset Importing MARC data.
13:55 mtompset Or doing data entry.
13:57 mtompset I've got a 3.6.3 db that I want to import.
13:58 mtompset I noticed the page doesn't specify the instance name for the koha-create. Will koha-create prompt for one?
13:59 jcamins mtompset: no, you have to choose one.
13:59 eythian mtompset: you make one up
14:00 eythian mtompset: also, just import the db dump after you've set things up. It'll ensure everything is nice and consistent.
14:00 nengard left #koha
14:00 jcamins Ooh.
14:00 jcamins joubu++ # I didn't realize you could prevent links from causing the page to scroll to the top
14:01 mtompset So run the koha-create before I even try to get the DB in... okay.
14:01 mtompset Here goes nothing.
14:02 oleonard jcamins: See also http://css-tricks.com/return-f[…]-prevent-default/ if you want to go deeper
14:04 jcamins Interesting.
14:04 wahanui interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad
14:05 jcamins wahanui: good, this time.
14:05 wahanui jcamins: i'm not following you...
14:07 mtompset koha-create didn't catch that I had an extra parameter. DOH!
14:08 jcamins mtompset: why did you have an extra parameter?
14:08 mtompset because I wanted to match the user name, db name, and password to the exist DB that I have.
14:08 eythian mtompset: you can't do that like that
14:08 eythian koha-create doesn't understand extra paremeters
14:10 mtompset Hmmm... man page says --database is a valid parameter.
14:11 eythian oh right, I forgot about those.
14:11 eythian I was imagining that you just chucked them on to the end
14:11 mtompset that's what I did the first time.
14:11 eythian (as in, without option names)
14:11 eythian hwoever, --database should work I think
14:12 mtompset so then I did a koha-remove <first item>
14:12 jcamins --database is valid, but I don't see any way to specify username/password.
14:12 mtompset passwdfile
14:12 jcamins Yes, but not on the command line.
14:12 eythian jcamins: with --passwdfile
14:13 mtompset koha-create doesn't recognize --database even though the man page has it.
14:13 jcamins eythian: that still requires a file.  You can't just add extra parameters.
14:13 eythian oh, yeah.
14:13 mtompset Yes, but I created the file.
14:13 mtompset I'm assuming it is the format mentioned on the wiki page.
14:14 * magnuse wanders off into the deep woods
14:14 jcamins Oh, that should work fine, then. I use a koha.passwd file.
14:14 mtompset dropped the --database, koha-create worked.
14:14 mtompset Let's see what it did...
14:16 mtompset Nope... not what I expected...
14:17 jcamins A) what were you expecting, and B) what did it do?
14:18 jcamins (warning: the issue is probably with A)
14:18 mtompset I was it expect it to read the passwd file for the information.
14:19 jcamins Okay, that's a reasonable expectation.
14:19 jcamins That's how it works for me.
14:19 mtompset It didn't.
14:19 jcamins What did it do?
14:19 mtompset created it like I told it nothing.
14:19 mtompset and now I have a user I can't delete.
14:20 jcamins Hey, the passwd file allows you to specify a database, too. I forgot about that because I don't use it.
14:20 mtompset Yes, I filled it out, and it didn't work as I expected.
14:21 mtompset I suppose I really like tarballs right about now. :)
14:22 jcamins Why can't you delete the user?
14:22 mtompset it says it's logged in.
14:22 eythian I still think you're better off just loading a db dump into the database.
14:22 mtompset But then the password won't match.
14:22 jcamins I would agree with eythian.
14:22 eythian sudo /etc/init.d/koha-common stop will stop its processes
14:22 eythian mtompset: it makes a password
14:22 jcamins mtompset: what do you mean? koha-create creates the password.
14:22 jcamins Which will be random, as it should be.
14:23 mtompset It won't match the db dump's password.
14:23 eythian db dumps don't have passwords
14:23 mtompset they do if they are just a dump of every DB.
14:23 mtompset (hence mysql, etc.)
14:23 eythian then don't do that.
14:23 eythian just dump the koha db you want
14:23 jcamins mtompset: I'm not sure what you're doing, but that's not the right way to do it.
14:23 jcamins If you are transferring Koha, just use the DB.
14:24 mtompset jcamins, I figured that much out.
14:24 jcamins If you are trying to clone an entire system, you should just use some sort of system imaging software.
14:24 mtompset Not trying to clone.
14:24 mtompset Trying to take data from production tarball install...
14:24 wizzyrea1 joined #koha
14:24 mtompset and get it into a koha-common install.
14:24 jcamins Right, that's very easy.
14:24 mtompset I'm failing.
14:25 jcamins mysqldump kohadb > file.sql
14:25 mtompset It must not be easy.
14:25 jcamins koha-create --create-db mylibrary
14:25 mtompset Yes... I'll have to limit my dump.
14:25 jcamins Import file.sql into koha_mylibrary.
14:25 mtompset -- that came out wrong.
14:26 jcamins Other than a full backup, I don't think there is any reason to dump all your databases, including mysql.
14:26 jcamins It makes you expect that other settings are going to be exactly the same.
14:27 mtompset And clearly I can't expect.
14:27 mtompset So... off to trim mysqldump to just one DB.
14:28 rambutan joined #koha
14:28 jcamins Right. If nothing else, crontabs will be different. As we saw on the mailing list, this can cause no end of confusion when you try to "fix" it.
14:29 * wizzyrea waves
14:31 mtompset This is why I'm trying a packages install.
14:31 mtompset I want to understand the differences in install types.
14:33 mtompset I will also help me tweak the Koha on Ubuntu wiki page to better reflect problems. And to warn people, "Don't follow this if you are doing a packages install!"
14:35 mtompset the packages install leaves the koha instance database empty until you do a web install?
14:35 eythian yeah
14:35 eythian it has to
14:35 jcamins mtompset: yes, same as the tarball.
14:35 eythian (unless you provide the default.sql.gz file)
14:36 mtompset but then the script would set up the kohauser and such on the default.sql.gz file
14:37 eythian it would create a default user, yeah
14:39 mtompset anything to git or tarball installs seem much easier than anything to package installs. In the former, a full dump will work. In the latter, you must trim it to just the koha database.
14:40 * jcamins doesn't buy it. Dumping all your databases is just plain a bad idea.
14:41 jcamins At least, that's how I see it.
14:41 jcamins You're bringing along cruft and baggage from an old system.
14:41 mtompset I was already doing that for full backup purposes.
14:42 jcamins Sure, it's fine for a backup, but don't use it for anything less than a full restore.
14:42 jcamins That's my feeling, anyway.
14:43 mtompset I was trying to be lazy and not have to dump just one db for this process... reuse is good sometimes. :)
14:43 jcamins Plus, it's not like you can't just set the db/user/password to whatever you want by editing the koha-conf.xml file, same as you do with a tarball install.
14:43 mtompset Though, we decided to got with lzma's, not gz's. :)
14:44 mtompset actually, the build step in the tarball is what sets it.
14:44 mtompset no file editing.
14:44 mtompset if you have to edit a file, the install is too complex. :)
14:45 mtompset And... if I dump just the one DB... it should be simple enough.
14:45 eythian isn't it easier to just dump one?
14:45 mtompset -a is shorter than a db name. :P
14:45 jcamins And oh-so-much-more dangerous. :)
14:45 eythian it's also a billion times easier to restore.
14:46 mtompset True...
14:46 eythian (especially if you want to be changing db names or something)
14:46 mtompset true
14:48 mtompset is import the correct SQL command, jcamins?
14:49 eythian you want: mysql -u ..... -p < file.sql
14:49 jcamins Uhhh... I generally just use mysql < filename.sql
14:49 jcamins You could also use SOURCE, of course.
14:50 eythian '\.' is probably safter though
14:50 mtompset the koha-zebra-daemon was running as the user I couldn't delete.
14:50 jcamins '\.' ?
14:53 eythian mtompset: yes. 'sudo /etc/init.d/koha-common stop' kills it (though maybe it gets confused if something failed.)
14:53 mtompset I'll probably... mysql -u ... -p .... > user koha_...; > source db.sql;
14:53 eythian jcamins: shortcut for source
14:53 eythian mtompset: I wouldn't, your < is the wrong way around
14:53 eythian also your user is in the wrong place
14:53 mtompset No those are prompts.
14:53 eythian oh duh :)
14:53 mtompset Oops... I meant use;
14:53 eythian ah
14:54 mtompset Yes, it got confused.
14:54 mtompset I did a koha-remove... and it failed.
14:54 mtompset so I had to kill the daemon manually, and delete the user.
14:54 eythian it really needs to be made more robust
14:55 mtompset Don't look at me... I'm liking tarballs. ;)
14:57 mtompset okay... since the passwd thing failed to work for me... gone..
14:57 eythian you won't when you discover "koha-mysql"
14:58 Callender joined #koha
14:58 jcamins Yeah, koha-mysql is pretty awesome.
14:58 mtompset eythian++
14:58 mtompset Thanks for the tip.
14:58 mtompset But I want to get a package install done first.
14:59 mtompset I'm assuming koha-mysql is any time after the koha-create?
14:59 jcamins Though, really the way they ensure you don't hoist yourself on your own petard makes packages worthwhile in my eyes.
14:59 jcamins mtompset: that is correct.
15:00 mtompset interestingly enough only 3 things installed from the debian.koha-community.org when I was doing the apt-get install koha-common.
15:00 eythian not surprising if you already had an isntall on that box
15:00 eythian normally it's more like 100+
15:00 mtompset Nope...
15:01 mtompset No install.
15:01 mtompset This is a fresh VM.
15:01 jcamins eythian: from the k-c.org repo, not in general.
15:01 jcamins mtompset: that sounds about right.
15:01 eythian oh right
15:01 jcamins Are you installing 3.6.x or 3.8.x?
15:01 eythian yeah, there's only about 3 or 4 other things in there anyway
15:01 mtompset Yes, there were over 200+ things to install.
15:01 mtompset I set up squeeze.
15:01 mtompset as the repo, so I'm assuming it will be 3.8.x
15:02 jcamins Yup.

15:02 Woody quick question for someone in regards to the Koha logo
15:03 mtompset Maybe. :)
15:03 mtompset What's the question?
15:03 wahanui the question is, like, "What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?"
15:03 jcamins What's the answer?

15:03 jcamins Thanks, wahanui.
15:03 wahanui my pleasure jcamins
15:03 Woody haha I wish. But for serious, I'm using the Koha logo on a public library website, am I allowed to change the colour of the logo to better match our website's theme?
15:04 Woody or must it stay black?
15:04 mtompset Isn't it all released under GPL? I would think colour changes would be okay.
15:04 mtompset I don't know.
15:04 jcamins Woody: as far as I know you can change the color to anything you want.
15:05 jcamins Whoops. Someone hit refresh.

15:06 jcamins Hehe. I thought it was a refresh when trying to get to a different page.
15:06 jcamins :)
15:06 Woody the GPL is a bit vague on modifying trademarked logos.
15:06 jcamins I think you just can't use the logo for something other than Koha.
15:06 Woody Makes sense.
15:06 mtompset Not to mention... it is green in other places.
15:07 jcamins Also purple in some places.
15:07 Woody Whelp, I'll try it out, and if I hear of any complaints I'll just switch it back.
15:07 jcamins Makes sense.
15:07 mtompset Thanks for using Koha. :)
15:07 Woody No problem. Thanks for all your help :-)
15:07 jcamins Oh, one thing you shouldn't do with the logo: choose ugly colors! ;)
15:07 Woody haha deal
15:08 jcamins I'd be interested to see your OPAC design once you've finished it.
15:08 Woody Once it's complete perhaps I'll stop by again to drop off the link

15:15 rambutan The community really really needs to fix this problem.
15:15 jcamins What problem?
15:15 wahanui it has been said that problem is its human beings doing it
15:19 wizzyrea yea, it's not up to the community to fix the problem.
15:19 wizzyrea the problem could have been fixed many times over.
15:20 rambutan OK, I've got vinegar in my system so....
15:20 rambutan the problem is that PTFS owns the Koha logo trademark/copyright in the US
15:21 rambutan I had wanted to paint the logo on our upcoming bookmobile, but we can't because of the trademark
15:21 rambutan this is a community problem.
15:22 mtompset Yes, but your bookmobile isn't an installation of Koha, so why would you want to paint the logo on it?
15:22 rambutan I don't know the solution for sure, but if we have to rename "Koha" to "Tinkerbell" and start all over with a clear statement of licensing,
15:22 rambutan well, sometime the problem is going to have to be resolved
15:23 rambutan mtompset: to promote Koha. Evangelism.

15:56 wizzyrea the logo is included in the tm I believe

15:57 wizzyrea it's 12.04
15:57 wizzyrea looks happy though
15:57 mtompset you probably want to make sure you have the k-c.org repo added.
15:57 mtompset Which hasn't made it into the wiki yet.
15:57 mtompset Which reminds me...
15:57 jcamins I'm not sure they do, actually.

16:03 mtompset Thanks. :)
16:03 khall glad to assist!
16:03 mtompset It's a necessary change for a yum install script I was working on. :)
16:04 mtompset Yes, I said 'yum' in the midst of an 'apt-get' crowd. :P
16:04 oleonard We say yum all the time. Usually in reference to jcamins' lunch.
16:05 gaetan_B bye !
16:05 mtompset I was refering to .... (in a hushed voice) RPM-base distributions.
16:05 mtompset Bye, gaetan_B
16:06 mtompset There are like 18 missing libraries under CentOS 6.3
16:06 mtompset and that's with EPEL enabled.
16:07 mtompset 18 including the optional ones.
16:07 mtompset that's a lot of CPAN'ing.
16:07 mtompset *cringes*
16:09 mtompset wow... that's a small apache site configuration file.
16:09 mtompset The includes must really shrink it.
16:16 mtompset Okay... something went wrong...
16:16 jcamins mtompset: why?
16:16 mtompset I didn't try to set any funky password or anything.
16:16 jcamins Did you change the password?
16:16 mtompset No, I didn't.
16:17 mtompset Whatever it generated.
16:17 jcamins And you're using the correct password according to koha-conf.xml?
16:17 mtompset Let me check... because I didn't edit the xml file at all.
16:18 jcamins mtompset: it's easy to get confused and try to log in using the Zebra credentials.
16:18 SJeffery joined #koha
16:18 jcamins Which won't work no matter how many times you try.
16:18 mtompset I didn't even get a login prompt.
16:19 jcamins Ah. Hm.
16:19 jcamins Wait.
16:19 jcamins Are you on 12.04?
16:19 jcamins (Ubuntu)
16:19 mtompset Yes.
16:20 jcamins You need to do an extra CREATE USER thanks to the stupid anonymous login feature.
16:20 jcamins That was patched for the next version.
16:20 mtompset AH!
16:20 mtompset Right.

16:27 jcamins mtompset: I'm not sure. But it's worth trying again.
16:27 mtompset Ah... THERE'S the password.
16:28 mtompset I see what you mean about the zebra password and the koha password.
16:29 mtompset YAY! Web installer page.
16:30 jcamins :)
16:30 mtompset That was a journey and a half.
16:31 mtompset I hope my web page doesn't time out on the upgrade.
16:31 jcamins It will, but it doesn't matter.
16:31 mtompset I have had that happen... just had to wait for the process to finish running.
16:31 jcamins Yup.
16:32 jcamins Happens to me every time I use a dev or tarball install.

16:33 jcamins That means something was backported to 3.6.x.

16:39 mtompset where is gradient CSS'd?
16:40 jcamins mtompset: probably opac.css?
16:40 mtompset under staff-client
16:40 oleonard mtompset: got Firebug?
16:40 mtompset Yes.
16:40 mtompset Hence the question.
16:41 oleonard Firebug gives you the answer :)
16:41 oleonard Right-click, inspect in Firebug
16:41 mtompset It doesn't say which CSS it is in.
16:41 oleonard staff-global.css (line 195)
16:42 oleonard It does say. Not sure if yours is configured differently?
16:42 mtompset Ah... okay... let me turn off that syspref.
16:42 oleonard http://screencast.com/t/o9aXHtwNsRT
16:43 mtompset I have my staff-global pointed to a tweaked version via a syspref.
16:43 mtompset That's why it is weird.
16:44 jcamins mtompset: Firebug will tell you where the setting comes from.
16:44 mtompset No, I didn't overwrite... I used the syspref. :)
16:44 mtompset Yes, but my tweaked staff-global is from 3.6.3
16:44 trea joined #koha
16:44 mtompset That's why it is screwy.
16:45 jcamins Alt-shift-refresh?
16:46 mtompset No... just clear the syspref, and all should be good.
16:46 mtompset Yep... All is good.
16:46 jcamins Yay!
16:47 mtompset Just have to tweak the right version of staff-global for the job. :)
16:47 mtompset But, that's a job for TOMORROW (or next week)
16:47 mtompset I suppose I should attempt a search
16:48 jcamins mtompset: you will, of course, need to reindex if you didn't yet.
16:49 mtompset Yes. And the best way to reindex is?
16:49 mtompset Seeing as there is no 'koha' user.
16:49 jcamins koha-rebuild-zebra --full cooperation
16:49 mtompset you mean teamwork.
16:49 jcamins teamwork, yes.
16:49 jcamins But there's an 'i' in "cooperation"!
16:49 mtompset sudo or no sudo?
16:50 jcamins sudo
16:51 mtompset well, one advantage of the package install is access to all those debianist scripts. :)
16:53 Brooke joined #koha
16:53 mtompset because we all know the koha-rebuild-zebra really is a wrapper.
16:53 jcamins Yup.
16:53 jcamins But a convenient one.
16:57 mtompset When will the next 3.8.x be out?
16:57 jcamins Dashboard?
16:57 jcamins dashboard is at http://dashboard.koha-community.org/
16:57 jcamins August 22, I imagine.
16:58 mtompset I'm wondering if instead of upgrading to 3.6.7we should jump to 3.8.x just after the 22nd.
16:58 jcamins You could do that.
16:58 * jcamins is sticking with 3.6.x for another few releases.
16:58 mtompset because gradient makes my styling life a lot easier!
16:59 mtompset Think you could get gradient in 3.6.8?
17:00 jcamins You could just steal the staff-global.css file from 3.8.x.
17:00 oleonard It requires some markup changes
17:00 jcamins I won't be backporting it to 3.6.x because it offers very little benefit.
17:00 jcamins Oh, I didn't realize there were markup changes.
17:01 jcamins In that case, no, it won't be going into 3.6.x.
17:01 mtompset Yes. there are markup changes.
17:01 mtompset that single div is a lifesaver!
17:02 mtompset The problem is I head back early november... just before 3.10 is released.
17:02 mtompset I don't want to have to upgrade again, because I didn't just to 3.8.x
17:02 mtompset ^just^jump^
17:03 * jcamins won't be upgrading to 3.10 any time soon.
17:03 jcamins Since you don't do fines, you should be fine with 3.8, I think.
17:04 mtompset --yet.
17:05 mtompset Wow! khall has the last 5 signoffs. Way to go for productivity. :)
17:06 jcamins And two of them are on my patches. :)

17:21 jcamins mtompset: yeah, I had to reindex a 200k record database three times yesterday. It was very frustrating.
17:21 mtompset Oh, and the two perl dependencies that would be really nice on debian.koha-community.org are Data::Paginator and Data::Pagination
17:22 jcamins mtompset: agreed.
17:22 jcamins However, since they don't compile, don't hold your breath.
17:22 mtompset Why don't the compile?
17:22 * jcamins shrugs
17:22 jcamins No idea.
17:22 mtompset Should I try doing a CPAN on a VM, just to find out?

17:46 melia I have a bugzilla question. I want to remove an attachment that I added to a bug, but I can't seem to make it go away.  I marked it obsolete, but you can still see it...
17:47 jcamins melia: you can't delete an attachment, just mark it obsolete.
17:47 melia darn it. ok. I guess obsolete is better than nothing.
17:48 * mtompset figures out why it is taking so long to reindex... LOW MEMORY!
17:48 jcamins Since it won't show up in git-bz, no one will try to apply it.
17:49 melia it's just a scanned reserve slip, but I realized after I put it on there that I should have blacked out the patron name or something. I don't want to show his private info to the whole world, but now I can't get rid of it.
17:49 jcamins Ah. Yeah. You could ask rangi. He might be able to delete it.

17:50 mtompset No, but someone who can may read IRC logs, before actually coming here.
17:51 melia I'll ask rangi for help. thanks everyone!
17:55 gmcharlt melia: I've deleted that attachment
17:55 melia oh good. thanks very much! I hate when I do something dumb and then can't fix it :)
