05:47 * magnuse wonders who is giving the talk on "Extending Koha using linked data" at kohacon
05:50 Oak ah. someone better record that talk in good audio. and preferably in 720 video as well. steady hand.
05:52 * Oak wonders who will record and upload the talk on "Extending Koha using linked data" at kohacon for the poor souls who cannot be there.
05:57 Oak magnuse, if one needs to test an sql report on Koha 3.4, how can that be done? someone called me and says this report http://goo.gl/fb8KxL does not work on his 3.4.
06:01 Oak joined #koha
06:01 magnuse hm, if you have a dev install, you can check out the 3.4.x branch, empty the database and then run through the web installer, to get a working 3.4. or tell them to upgrade
06:03 Oak hmm.
06:04 Oak and i have not checked all links but seems like tars links here are broken http://koha-community.org/category/3-4/

06:36 ashimema @later tell tcohen did the tests for utf8 stuff ever get past go?
06:36 indradg_ joined #koha

06:41 magnuse Joubu++
06:41 ashimema magnuse.. what are your thoughts on utf8 vs utf8_mb4 for mysql?
06:41 magnuse dunno
06:41 ashimema that's the very last it I wanted comment on from Joubu and others..
06:42 ashimema haha.. no worries.. it's pretty fringe information
06:42 magnuse yeah, i don't know mysql well enough i guess
06:42 ashimema https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/mysql-utf8mb4 - for background to the question ;)
06:43 magnuse but if you think it is a good idea and have been using it in production i would vote for it, i think :-)
06:43 indradg_ joined #koha
06:43 ashimema Yeah.. all our sites for 3 years have been going in with it ;)
06:43 ashimema So I can vouch that it's stable..
06:44 magnuse but only available from MySQL 5.5.3?
06:44 ashimema and that probably also adds my vote for it being worthwhile.. we're not really using any characters (not knowingly at least) that require it.. but my thoughts are that you never know what crazy character a library might input into a marc record ;)
06:44 magnuse yup
06:45 magnuse @get quote 123
06:45 ashimema fiar point.. yeah.. only available from 5.5.3
06:45 huginn magnuse: Error: The command "get" is available in the Dunno, Herald, Lart, Quote, and ReleaseDay plugins.  Please specify the plugin whose command you wish to call by using its name as a command before "get".
06:45 wahanui i already had it that way, huginn.

06:45 * ashimema goes off to check what mysql version currently ships with squeeze
06:48 indradg_ joined #koha
06:49 ashimema anyone out there got a squeeze server they could run 'apt-cache policy mysql-server' on for me, pretty please?
06:49 indradg_ joined #koha
06:49 ashimema (and could varify they don't have and 'extra' repositories enabled to get a more up to date mysql than the norm?
06:52 Oak i'll run it ashimema. just let me check if 'extra' is enabled or not.
06:52 ashimema cheers Oak
06:53 alex_a joined #koha
06:53 alex_a bonjour
06:54 pastebot "Oak" at 192.168.0.191 pasted "output of apt-cache policy mysql-server" (9 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/228
06:55 ashimema looks like your on wheezy anyway Oak ;)
06:55 ashimema but thanks regardless
06:55 Oak bonjour monsieur alex_a
06:55 Oak oh right
06:55 Oak you said squeeze :|
06:56 ashimema we still support squeeze as a community.. So I best not push for utf8_mb4 if squeeze doesn't ship with a current enough version of mysql ;)
06:56 ashimema I'll see if I can dig out on of our last remaining squeeze's
06:57 Oak got it.
06:58 Oak will this help:
06:58 Oak https://packages.debian.org/squeeze/mysql-server
06:58 Oak i can check the changelogs of the last squeeze update...
06:59 alex_a hello Oak
07:02 ashimema Yeah, looks like your right..
07:02 ashimema 'tis an ancient mysql still in squeeze :(
07:02 Joubu hello

07:03 Oak it's 5.1.73-1
07:03 Oak in 6.0.10 which was released July 19th, 2014
07:03 ashimema yup..
07:04 ashimema we need 5.5.3 to get mb4 support..
07:04 ashimema that's a four year old release..
07:04 ashimema yet still not in squeeze by the looks :(
07:04 ashimema oh well
07:04 ashimema it was a 'nice to have' rather than a full on requirement
07:07 Oak joined #koha
07:30 gaetan_B joined #koha
07:30 gaetan_B hello
07:33 magnuse ashimema: and there is no way to set it conditionally? or have older versions silently ignore it?
07:34 ashimema possibly.. but not as a simple patch like we have already..
07:34 ashimema means pushing more work Joubu's way.. I didn't want to be that mean ;) for a 'nice to have'
07:36 magnuse ok
07:38 magnuse but that means bug 11944 can be "passed qa"?

07:39 magnuse oh, i forgot dpavlin++ earlier!
07:39 ashimema pretty much..
07:39 ashimema I'm just sorting a failing email system on another server.. then I'll be adding my mark and passing qa on it
07:41 Joubu ashimema: I prefer you don't upload patches
07:41 Joubu ashimema: I can add you SO line on the branch
07:41 ashimema ok.. will just scribble in comments and add passed status then ;)
07:42 Joubu your*

13:25 schnydszch Hi! anybody here experienced news not showing in their Koha ILS' OPAC? we're using 3.16.3
13:25 cma joined #koha
13:25 oleonard Did it happen just after an upgrade schnydszch?
13:25 schnydszch yeah I upgraded
13:26 schnydszch from 3.16.2 to 3.16.3
13:26 schnydszch debian package
13:27 schnydszch but I got the problem in one of my koha instance which was running 3.16.2, I upgraded it, hoping that it will be resolved
13:27 schnydszch ..since newer version is 3.16.3
13:27 oleonard Just today schnydszch? It is the last day of the month (in my time zone anyway): Bug 12507
13:27 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=12507 normal, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Pushed to Master , News does not always display in staff or OPAC
13:28 schnydszch yeah just today.. and yes it's the last day of the month here too
13:29 schnydszch okay got it.. thanks! I'll see it tomorrow :) thanks!
13:33 oleonard By the way schnydszch, you emails to the Koha list always end up in my spam folder (with gmail). Maybe because they're sent through Nabble?
13:33 schnydszch I got alerted that some staff could have edited or remove customizations in the OPAC. sigh of relief it's just a bug. Thanks and cheers!

13:34 oleonard I just thought i'd mention it in case you weren't getting responses
13:35 mm123 joined #koha
13:36 schnydszch yes oleonard, i'm using nabble
13:36 mm123 hello. I have recently updated Koha to version 3.14.10, did a full reindexing. However, when doing a search i get the following: No results match your search for 'kw,wrdl:
13:36 mm123 any suggestions of what might have gone wrong?
13:36 schnydszch so i should not stick with nabble? any other way?
13:37 oleonard schnydszch: You might consider subscribing to the email list instead.
13:37 oleonard mailing list?
13:37 wahanui well, mailing list is at http://koha-community.org/supp[…]ha-mailing-lists/

13:38 schnydszch okay i'll do that
13:38 schnydszch thanks! :)
13:39 mm123 when searching in OPAC i get the following: No results match your search for 'kw,wrdl:
13:39 oleonard You're welcome schnydszch
13:45 oleonard Anyone here who can run mm123 through the standard routine of verifying Zebra is working?
13:47 schnydszch mm123 you can try this: http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/ installing/upgrading part
13:51 mm123 last night i manually ran a full zebra reindex
13:51 mm123 perl /home/koha/kohaclone/misc/mig​ration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v
13:51 mm123 because the librarian reported issues with search
13:51 mm123 the reindexing seemed to have worked
13:52 mm123 but the seach is still not working this morning
13:52 schnydszch try to clear zebra indexes
13:53 mm123 kind of emabrassing, but how do i do that?
13:53 mm123 so sorry
13:53 schnydszch i'm using debian package so i can only relate with debian package installation, how did you install your koha ils?
13:53 schnydszch this worked for me:  $ zebraidx -c /etc/koha/zebradb/zebra-biblios.cfg -g iso2709 -d biblios init     $ zebraidx -c /etc/koha/zebradb/zebra-authorities.cfg -g iso2709 -d authorities init
13:54 mm123 git
13:55 talljoy joined #koha
13:56 rocio joined #koha
13:56 schnydszch oopps.. i haven't tried git, i always go for debian package installation since it's easier :) but maybe you can try clearing first your zebra index.
13:56 schnydszch then rebuild your zebra index
13:57 oleonard mm123: Is koha-zebra-daemon running? http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]-_git#Setup_Zebra
13:58 mm123 this is set in crontab

13:59 oleonard mm123: That refers to the index process, but the Zebra service needs to be running in order for Koha to interface with the index which that cron job builds

14:27 schnydszch hi! have you tried oleonard's suggestion? checking the status of koha zebra daemon
14:31 mm123 zebrasrv appears to be started

15:53 oleonard Are you waiting for something from someone else in order for Bug 12892 to move forward?
15:54 khall oleonard: yeah, it involves the coding guidelines and whether what the patch does should be allowed or not
15:54 khall I'm working on an alternative right now
15:55 oleonard Thanks. I consider the bug a blocker for upgrade for my library so it'd be great to see a fix make it into 3.16.x

16:20 Malumfashee Are you online?
