01:37 Zeki Hi
01:37 wahanui hola, Zeki
01:38 Zeki Hi Wahanui,
01:39 Zeki I have a problem with "Stage MARC records for import". I cannot import any MARC records
01:39 Zeki My koha installation is new one
01:39 Zeki version 3.8.6 on Ubuntu server
01:39 Zeki everything looks fine
01:41 Zeki I can add(import) any catalog (book)from Z39.50 Search
01:42 Zeki however when I want to use "Stage MARC records for import" tools I cant import anything
01:42 Zeki Stage MARC records for import does nothing
01:42 Zeki no progress bar
01:43 Zeki so anyone can tell me what can be problem with my Koha?
01:45 Zeki any expert around ?
01:46 eythian http://www.wimp.com/hurricanehorse/
01:47 wizzyrea joined #koha
01:47 rangi hey wizzyrea
01:47 wahanui wizzyrea is a Cylon, and they all have plans.
01:47 * wizzyrea giggles
01:47 wizzyrea hi there
01:47 rangi Zeki: hmm no sorry, i haven't seen that problem before
01:48 rangi Zeki: you could try the bulkmarcimport script from the command line
01:48 Zeki yeah
01:48 eythian hi wizzyrea, slept in today?
01:49 wizzyrea hmm a little bit, but we were down in central by 10ish for an appointment :)
01:49 eythian ah right
01:49 rangi your pc just arrived
01:49 wizzyrea oooOOOooo
01:49 eythian like, literally just then
01:49 wizzyrea haha!
01:50 Zeki can I ask you a few more things,  Rangi?
01:50 rangi Zeki: misc/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl is where it lives
01:53 Zeki thanks for that
01:54 Zeki I want to check with you about "System preferences" setting
01:54 Zeki is there any place related "Stage MARC records for import" in "System preferences" setting?
01:55 Zeki because I am very new in Koha
01:55 Zeki so Maybe I didnt do right setting
01:55 rangi only match points and that wouldnt affect the behaviour you are seeing
01:57 Zeki maybe wrong setting does not allow me to use "Stage MARC records for import" tools to import MARC records
01:57 rangi no
01:58 tcohen joined #koha
02:01 Zeki I am using default setting
02:01 eythian then it should work fine. You should have a look in your logs, they may tell you what is going wrong.
02:02 Zeki While Web Installar I choose all the optional setting inculinding saple data, marc framework etc..
02:07 Zeki which part of logs
02:08 wizzyrea1 joined #koha
02:09 Zeki because when I check log viewer under tools
02:09 Zeki I dont see any error related Stage MARC records for import
02:09 brylie joined #koha
02:10 Zeki so is there any other place to check logs beside "log viwer under tools?
02:11 eythian Zeki: the system logs in /var/log/koha

02:19 Zeki [Tue Oct 30 10:09:52 2012] [error] [client 192.168.7.210] [Tue Oct 30 10:09:52 2012] viewlog.pl: Problem = a value of 1 has been passed to param without key at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Templates.pm line 187., referer: http://192.168.7.244:8080/cgi-[…]/tools/viewlog.pl
02:20 Zeki is showing this error log only for today?
02:20 Zeki I tried a few times "Stage MARC records for import" tools
02:21 eythian It has a datestamp on the left of the log message, you can use that to see what date the error was generated, and hence what your log file contains.
02:21 Zeki but looks there are not any log about it
02:22 wizzyrea1 joined #koha
02:22 Zeki first I check the log I found last log
02:22 Zeki then I went to tools "Stage MARC records for import" and do import
02:23 Zeki and then I check the logs
02:23 Zeki but no new line in log file
02:24 eythian OK. I'm not sure then.
02:25 Zeki look like not adding error inside log file
02:25 Zeki yeah
02:25 Zeki is there any other place i can check it

02:39 Zeki Thank you so much  Rangi,

02:40 Zeki now
02:40 Zeki can important MARC Records
02:41 Zeki can import MARC Records
02:41 eythian Zeki: and tell your friends to not use IE.
02:42 Zeki sure
02:43 Zeki It is so strange IE browser problem
02:44 eythian It's not really, IE is not a good browser.
02:44 Zeki I thought it was related my koha setting
02:44 eythian Koha doesn't claim that it's supported in the staff client because it's too buggy to be reliable.
02:44 Zeki I didnt think IE can cause this type problem.
02:46 Zeki Thank Eythian
02:46 eythian It causes many problems.
02:47 Zeki yeah
02:47 ibeardslee two irc channels on two different servers with IE problems
02:47 Brooke it must be an IRC problem. ;)

11:35 magnuse hiya jwagner - hanging in there?
11:36 jwagner I got off pretty lightly -- amazingly, I never lost power for more than a minute or two.  A lot of damage in this area, but the folks further north got the worst of it.
11:36 magnuse and the worst is over now?
11:37 jwagner We're still expecting a fair amount of rain and wind all day, but not nearly as bad as yesterday and last night.  Biggest concern here now is flooding.
11:37 magnuse ah yes
11:37 jwagner Some trees could still come down (and take my power), but it's less likely now.
11:37 jwagner Of course, I haven't ventured outside yet....
11:38 magnuse be careful!
11:39 jwagner It's great to be able to work from home :-) If nothing else, I don't have to try driving in this mess.
11:39 magnuse working_from_home++ :-)
11:39 jwagner I'll probably try going in tomorrow -- cabin fever sets in after a while.
11:39 magnuse hehe

12:06 jcamins joined #koha
12:06 jwagner jcamins, you've survived so far?
12:06 jcamins jwagner: yeah. We have power and everything.
12:07 libsysguy jcamins you're alive!
12:07 jcamins The streets are a sight, though.
12:07 libsysguy i guess you're further north
12:07 jcamins Yeah.
12:07 H1070 :Oo ny i presume
12:07 libsysguy H1070 you should just configure postfix or exim etc
12:07 jcamins And we're on high ground.
12:08 H1070 thx  i look into that :)
12:09 jcamins jwagner: is the DC transit system still functioning?
12:09 libsysguy after that is done you should set up notices: http://manual.koha-community.o[…]6/en/notices.html
12:09 jwagner I think they're keeping it shut down again today.
12:10 jwagner Probably smart -- there's flooding in some of the Metro tunnels, and a lot of the streets are full of downed trees.
12:10 jcamins Yeah.
12:10 jwagner There were some pretty bad pics from NY on the Post's web site.
12:11 jcamins NYC transit has been pretty well decimated.
12:11 jcamins We won't be getting into Manhattan at any point this week, I think.
12:11 jwagner Which side of town are you on? I forget.
12:11 oleonard joined #koha
12:11 jcamins All the tunnels we would need to get in are flooded out, I think.
12:11 jcamins We're in Forest Hills, Queens.
12:12 jwagner North/east side, if I remember my geography?
12:12 jcamins Yeah.
12:12 libsysguy Queens...
12:12 jcamins We're probably in line with 100th St in Manhattan.
12:12 * libsysguy shudders
12:13 jwagner Is LaGuardia up that direction?
12:13 jcamins Whoah.
12:13 jcamins Talk about lucky.
12:13 jcamins My next door neighbors are without power.
12:13 cait ohwow
12:13 jwagner in the same building?
12:14 jcamins Next building over.
12:14 oleonard We get an early snow thanks to Sandy, but nothing is sticking yet
12:15 jcamins If you were to go from Manhattan to LGA then just follow the main highway into Queens, you would pass about three blocks away from us.
12:15 jwagner I haven't been anywhere but mid-town Manhattan for years, I forget where things are....
12:18 jcamins jwagner: we're not far from https://maps.google.com/maps?q[…]&t=m&z=13&iwloc=A

12:20 tcohen morning #koha

12:24 cait paul_p: have you seen all the big cities in france yet? and bare in mind france is a bit smaller than US :)
12:24 oleonard It's true :) And Paris, and Berlin, and Prague, and Vienna, and Venice... but not New York!
12:24 cait wow, quite a round trip through europe :)
12:24 libsysguy paul_p do you have a coat?
12:24 cait you have been to Vienna but not to Konstanz? :P
12:25 oleonard It was, sadly, many years ago now
12:25 paul_p libsysguy yep. and some underwear I usually don't wear in Marseille. So i'm fine in fact ;-)
12:26 libsysguy hehe paul_p has thermal undies
12:26 paul_p libsysguy but as i'm french, i'm complaining ;-)
12:26 * libsysguy wasn't going to say anything
12:26 * libsysguy was going to suggest a smoke and some wine
12:26 libsysguy :p
12:26 paul_p libsysguy yes, but you thought of it so loudly that I heard it :D
12:27 jcamins jwagner: yeah, Strand remains a New York institution.
12:27 paul_p libsysguy (I almost never drink alcohol, and don't smoke either)
12:27 jwagner Any bookstore that advertises 18 miles of books is MY kind of place....
12:27 libsysguy paul_p I was sure that would change after you were RM for KOha ong enough
12:28 paul_p libsysguy hehe... maybe jcamins took the ball quickly enough :D
12:28 libsysguy we'll see, you still have to make it to November
12:31 libsysguy paul_p what part of france are you in?
12:31 libsysguy my relatives from Sweden were curious
12:31 paul_p libsysguy Marseille, south -mediterranean coast

14:08 rjune I'm trying to add an item without a MARC record or entry in LoC. My problem is record 100. As memory(and documentation) say 100 [012] are the fields I should be adding / editing, but The MARC editor won't let me add those fields. Am I missing something, or do I have to create the MARC record by hand, then import it?
14:08 cait rjune: the 100 is for the author
14:09 cait they are supposed to be linked to an authority
14:09 cait using the plugin at the end ofthe field
14:09 cait if you don't want to use authorities, you can reconfigure koha to not use them, that's descrbed in the manual I think
14:09 cait authorities?
14:09 cait manual?
14:09 wahanui manual is at http://www.koha-community.org/documentation
14:10 rjune cait, coincidentally, It's the author of the book I want to add.
14:10 cait yes, the system at themoment requiers you to addan authority record for the author firt
14:10 cait if you don't want to use authorities, then you can deactivate that
14:11 cait faqs?
14:11 cait faq?
14:11 wahanui faq is probably found at http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/
14:12 libsysguy libsysguy?
14:12 wahanui rumour has it libsysguy is dealing with infinity when dealing with spansets
14:12 libsysguy aww what happened to the one that wizzyrea gave me :'(
14:12 cait libsysguy?
14:12 wahanui libsysguy is, like, Koha's hottest developer or partying with swedes on his deck or koha's youngest developer
14:12 cait that one? :)
14:12 libsysguy yeah!!
14:13 cait :)
14:13 cait cait?
14:13 wahanui you are probably qam, not your secretary
14:13 cait um ok
14:14 cait kf?
14:14 wahanui well, kf is cait or really, really sweet. or <reply>she gives me memory loss or a holds expert.
14:15 libsysguy heh cait is qam and kf is a holds expert
14:15 cait well one is true the other not
14:15 * libsysguy wishes I was a holds expert
14:15 libsysguy then I could solve some of the holds problems :p
14:16 cait yeah, i wish that too :)
14:16 cait for you to be a holds expert
14:16 libsysguy hehe
14:16 cait but that would be mean, you would probably go crazy sooner or later
14:16 cait it's just too much for a human midn
14:16 libsysguy I am already crazy
14:16 libsysguy but I feel the rabbit hole goes deeper with holds
14:16 cait oh alright then, go ahead
14:20 rjune adding an authority?
14:20 rjune authority?
14:20 rjune apparently the bot ignores me.
14:20 cait I am not sure I am up to explaining the use of authorities in english :)
14:20 rjune wahanui, hello?
14:20 wahanui hello are u there?
14:20 cait try faq?
14:20 rjune faq?
14:20 wahanui well, faq is found at http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/
14:20 cait there is a point about authorities with the chapter in the manual
14:21 rjune cool. I'll read up on that.
14:21 rjune has been a while since I've been involved with libraries
14:22 cait authorities will enable some nice features in the next release
14:22 cait maybe think about it some before you make a decision
14:23 cait but it's also work to maintain them
14:23 rjune mostly been simple. because mostly has been in LoC.
14:23 cait you don't get authorities when downloading form z29.50
14:24 rjune It seems I have a book that isn't in any of the z3950 searches
14:24 cait but the fields are filled in and koha may generate some basic authority on its own
14:24 rjune then why haven't I had to deal with author records before?
14:24 rjune that is probably it then.
14:35 bryce joined #koha
14:36 bryce Are there browser recommendations for koha 3.8?
14:37 bryce Web browser that is.
14:37 oleonard Anything but Internet Explorer
14:37 bryce That's what I thought.
14:37 bryce Is this documented anywhere?
14:37 oleonard Hm, I'm not sure
14:38 oleonard It should work in IE, just not be as pretty
14:39 bryce We can't add barcodes to a label batch in IE using the copy paste method.
14:39 bryce Works in Firefox fine.
14:39 oleonard Which IE?
14:39 wahanui Which IE are we bashing today?
14:40 bryce IE8
14:40 bryce Didn't work in 7 eaither.
14:40 bryce either
14:40 jcamins The labels module doesn't work in IE<9, and possibly not IE9 either.
14:40 rjune cait, thanks again for you r help.
14:41 bryce Thanks for the info though. I'll pass it on.
14:41 oleonard Is there a bug for that jcamins?
14:41 jcamins oleonard: somewhere.
14:42 jcamins I'm pretty sure I recall chris_n indicating that he would not be fixing it.
14:42 * oleonard doesn't see it in the browser compatibility bugs list
14:43 jcamins Check the Tools module?
14:45 * oleonard gets depressed about how many bugs there are
14:51 * cait sends cookies to oleonard
15:07 magnuse rangi just showed us that we are moving in the rght direction, remember? ;-)

16:10 magnuse spaces are the new black
16:10 oleonard Makes it very hard to cut and paste >:(
16:10 cait oleonard: i feel with you
16:10 cait oleonard: what i found helpful is copying into an editor
16:10 cait and removing all the doubled up spaces with regex
16:11 cait oleonard: but I had to create html form the word things anyway, so probably not what you want to do... ah ignore me. my brain is on vacation today.

18:35 rangi Yep
18:35 jcamins Though I just can't abide Unity.
18:35 rangi Not next Monday but the one after
18:35 jcamins gmcharlt: true.
