11:45 slef       no problems... can you patch the syspref description?
11:41 nengard    thanks slef!!
11:29 slef       yes, koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/prog/en/modules/opac-full-serial-issues.tmpl and the syspref tables disagree
11:27 slef       nengard: I'm checking on a 3.0rc1... I can pull git.koha.org and check whether it's changed
11:26 nengard    slef - i'll have to check the most recent install and see if it's still labeled as such ...
11:26 slef       nengard: the small-v-simplified discrepency may be worth a minor or trivial bug report, if you are so inclined.
11:25 slef       full gives tables by year of the subscriptions, one per line
11:25 slef       simplified or small gives a one-sentence summary of the subscription
11:25 slef       nengard: that disagrees with the OPAC code a bit, but doesn't seem to matter
11:24 slef       ok :-/
11:24 nengard        * full =
11:24 nengard        * simplified =
11:24 nengard    Values:
11:24 nengard    slef: Default Value: simplified
11:23 slef       nengard: are the values small and full?
11:22 nengard    puppy on my lap doesn't seem to understand that i'm back to work :)
11:21 nengard    which one of the options provides the default value? or are you saying that there probably shouldn't be two options?
11:20 slef       nengard: I don't find it doing anything else.
11:20 slef       nengard: looks like it provides a default value of selectview in serials/serial-issues.pl
11:18 slef       nengard: oops... I just closed the koha source... 1mo
11:18 nengard    sys pref "SubscriptionHistory" - can someone tell me the diff between the options?
11:14 slef       nengard: I wish people would set their /away status ;-)
11:14 nengard    slef - it was the weekend - and today i think
11:13 slef       nengard: oh, I thought that was over the weekend.
11:13 nengard    slef: kados is at ALA conference ... he may not be on much at all - just FYI
11:12 slef       kados: can you review kohabug 1536 when you wake up, please?
11:08 slef       well, subscription-bib-search.pl ignores that either way... I strongly suspect it should search on itemtype always
11:07 slef       "If ON, enables Item-level Itemtype / Issuing Rules"
11:05 slef       942$c is itemtype
11:05 frederic   slef: Depending of item-level_itypes syspref, itype or itemtype is used in standard OPAC search
11:04 slef       interesting git commit
11:03 slef       942$c seems to be the thing to search on
11:02 frederic   Take a look on that: http://tinyurl.com/69yhj8
11:01 slef       but at the moment, it's searching on itype = SER which doesn't find zero-item biblios
11:00 slef       trouble is, the context is wanting to find biblio records of type SER which may or may not have items yet
10:59 frederic   So to find biblio records without item, you have to search on NOT itype equals something.
10:59 slef       frederic: thanks!  So what do I want to search?
10:58 frederic   Correction itype is mapped to 952$y
10:58 frederic   slef: In MARC21, itemtype is mapped to 942$a dn itemptype is mapped to 952$y. So itemtype is biblio level item type and itype is item level itemp type.
10:54 slef       federic: will searching either itype or itemptype find biblios with no items?
10:54 nengard    slef: hehe
10:53 slef       nengard: Everything is hidden in ff3 behind "you are a stupid user" labels :(
10:53 nengard    FOUND IT!!! Damn thing is hidden
10:52 nengard    firefox question ... does anyone know how i can change the default tool that my browser automaticallys subscribes to rss with? I have it set to automatically use bloglines ... but i need to turn that off to do some testing for the manual
10:52 frederic   chris: thks and good night
10:52 chris      night all
10:52 chris      but now i must go to bed
10:52 chris      frederic: http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz/2008/06/28/too-much-weights-not-enough-speed-work/
10:51 chris      i suspect the serials arent honouring the syspref
10:51 frederic   slef: take a look a record.abs. You wil find where itype and itemptype come from
10:51 chris      and a syspref controlling which one you use
10:51 chris      there is now one on the items table too
10:51 chris      slef: itemtype was on the biblioitems table originally
10:50 frederic   Mine statys at around 3 s
10:50 slef       chris: sorry, I don't understand.
10:50 frederic   chris: Do you have a koha setup with mod_perl enabled so I can compare with mine?
10:50 chris      biblioitems yep thats the original one
10:50 chris      frederic: my opac-search.pl went from 2 secs to .6 seconds with mod_perl
10:50 slef       Is there a biblio-level one?
10:49 chris      thats the itemlevel itemtype
10:48 slef       query has "AND itype=?" on the end... where's itype come from?
10:46 slef       Does subscription-bib-search.pl ever find biblios for serials which have not yet got any items?
10:45 chris      not if you are telling it not too
10:45 frederic   But browser cache all static files by default. You don't have to tell it anything...
10:44 slef       chris: does output_with_http_headers serve static files?  If so, have we noted that we need to fix output_with_http_headers?
10:44 chris      frederic: yes, a quite marked improvement
10:44 chris      so telling the browser to cache the static files helps
10:43 chris      tells the browser not to cache
10:43 chris      currently output_with_http_headers which almost all scripts use
10:43 frederic   chris: I activated a Koha setup with mod_perl and didn't observe any improvment. Should I?
10:42 chris      s/can/cant/
10:42 chris      yep, theres no reason why it can work as cgi or mod_perl though
10:41 slef       Koha should not require mod_perl IMO.  It will severely reduce use by smaller libraries.
10:41 chris      certainly things like mod_expires should be used to tell the browser to cache the images, css and js
10:41 chris      frederic: it needs to be tested more, but so far it seems to work ok with mod_perl
10:40 frederic   hello chris and paul. Have you a solution to your/our koha performance issue? Shouldn't Koha be always deploy with mod_perl?
10:32 slef       Hi all.  Anyone else having problems with serials management?
10:28 chris      hey nicole
09:54 paul       hello frederic
09:52 chris      hello frederic
09:42 frederic   hello

08:09 mc         marc.chantreux@biblibre.com
08:09 mc         marc.chantreux@biblibr.com
08:09 chris      cool, emailing it now
08:09 mc         thanks chris
08:09 mc         sure it will help
08:09 mc         :)
08:09 paul       good idea. marc.chantreux at biblibre.com
08:09 chris      i can send him my httpd.conf if that would help?
08:08 chris      cool
08:07 paul       yep. link transmitted to mc, that is investigating as well
08:07 chris      paul: did you see my opac running under mod_perl?
07:44 masonj     good timing for k3 too
07:44 paul       yep.
07:44 chris      thats great news
07:44 paul       and should decide between 2 developpers this week.
07:44 paul       we are waiting for an answer from Celine Girardeau (librarian)
07:43 paul       Laurence Lefaucher, half librarian, half developper will join us in october
07:43 chris      congratulations
07:43 masonj     woooo
07:43 chris      ohh cool
07:43 paul       Jacques Piton, a senior project manager will join us, as asset partner next month.
07:43 chris      oh? hire another person?
07:43 paul       BibLibre is continuing it's growth...
07:42 paul       hello masonj
07:41 chris      hey paul and mason
07:41 masonj     hi guys
07:41 paul       hi chris
07:41 chris      evening
20:57 mc         applied
20:57 mc         damn!
20:57 mc         applued
20:57 mc         but it wasn't applaied
20:57 mc         with my patch
20:57 mc         i also tried to work around into koha
20:56 mc         i just felt as you on this point
20:56 mc         now i found the method that works really and i know why
20:55 mc         with a message "please don't touch: it miracluously works"
20:55 masonj     it just started working.....
20:55 mc         but it was something i felt as weird work around
20:55 masonj     and i tried *sooo* many things that i wasnt sure what i did - that fixed it...
20:55 mc         i too
20:55 masonj     and each time i fixed it differently...
20:54 mc         thx
20:54 masonj     drove
20:54 masonj     ive had the problem on different installs too,  deb and ubuntu
20:54 mc         drived ? drove ? drive ?
20:53 masonj     yeah, me too a while back..
20:53 mc         masonj, np ... this problem just (drive|drove|drived)? me crazy last week..
20:50 masonj     thanks for the cgi::session info aindilis and mc
20:49 mc         yep
20:44 hdl_laptop mc ?
20:29 mc         dh-make-perl --build
20:29 mc         download it
20:29 mc         search CGI::Session::Serializer::yaml
20:29 mc         serach CGI::Session::Serializer::yaml
20:29 mc         just go to search.cpan.org
20:29 mc         (hello all)
20:29 mc         don't use CPAN!
20:28 mc         :
20:28 mc         aindilis, i have no proper way to work around it but there is a way
19:17 aindilis   so doing 'force install CGI::Session::Serialize::yaml' I think it was caused a version of CGI::Session (4.20) with the ID modules.
19:16 aindilis   which was causing a fatal error
19:15 aindilis   not sure exactly, mainly that there was no CGI::Session::ID::*
18:49 gmcharlt   aindilis: what was the CGI::Session problem, specifically?
17:46 aindilis   well all my problems were due to CGI::Session
17:38 Odd_Bloke  gmcharlt: Thanks, that's working now. :)
17:35 gmcharlt   installer/data/mysql/en/optional/sample_z3950_servers.sql
17:35 gmcharlt   then use mysql to load the following script from distribution
17:34 gmcharlt   delete the LoC Z39.50 server entry you created
17:34 gmcharlt   Odd_Bloke: here's how you can get the defulat entries
17:31 Odd_Bloke  OK, I don't have anything under the "Search targets" header (except the Library of Congress entry I've added and evidently got wrong myself).
17:30 gmcharlt   it shoudl give you a search box - enter somethign in the title field, pick the LoC target, and do a search
17:28 Odd_Bloke  gmcharlt: So I should be seeing something from the LoC in the list of Search targets when I go to Home > Cataloguing > Add MARC Record and click on z39.50 Search?
16:42 gmcharlt   if you just want batches of MARC records to play with, you can get various datasets from openlibrary.org
16:41 Odd_Bloke  gmcharlt: OK, thanks.
16:40 gmcharlt   to get specific records, you can use Z39.50 - e.g., the Library of Congress's Z39.50 server is on the sample list that comes with Koha
16:39 Odd_Bloke  OK, so I'm not really looking for anything at all intensive from Koha.  Is there a way I can retrieve MARC records (and authorities) from somewhere else in bulk?
16:37 gmcharlt   some admin and dev info is scattered across the dev wiki: wiki.koha.org
16:37 gmcharlt   Odd_Bloke: a draft version of the users manual is available at http://sites.google.com/a/liblime.com/koha-manual/Home
16:33 Odd_Bloke  Can I find docs referencing 3.0 rather than 2.2 anywhere?
16:30 Odd_Bloke  gmcharlt: Cool.
16:30 gmcharlt   entered as bug 2285
16:25 gmcharlt   thanks
16:25 Odd_Bloke  gmcharlt: That's fine.
16:25 Odd_Bloke  gmcharlt: I don't know if Makefile.PL complained, though I did install some dependencies that it did complain about (so I expect I would've installed it as well if it were mentioned).
16:24 gmcharlt   Odd_Bloke: I'm going to open a bug report for this - do you mind if I place the IRC discussion in it?
16:22 gmcharlt   do you know if perl Makefile.PL had complained about the missing ZOOM dep?
16:21 Odd_Bloke  ZOOM.pm, which is in Net::Z3950::ZOOM in CPAN.
16:21 gmcharlt   ahh - which one?
16:20 Odd_Bloke  gmcharlt: I'm seeing the web installer, as the error message told me I was missing a dependency.
16:18 gmcharlt   Odd_Bloke: yay!  you're seeing the web installer, or does the error message now give you a clue with work with?
16:17 Odd_Bloke  gmcharlt: It's working. \o/
16:12 Odd_Bloke  gmcharlt: Aha, I'm now getting an actual error page. \o/
16:11 gmcharlt   my %versions = (kohaVersion => join("\n", @INC));
16:10 gmcharlt   ok, for the get_versions line, change to:
16:09 Odd_Bloke  And the browser is actually receiving something from Koha (though only as far as <body>).
16:09 Odd_Bloke  Right, now I've reinserted it, I'm just getting "Undefined subroutine &C4::Context::get_versions called at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 40." in the error logs.
16:09 gmcharlt   yeah, missing semicolon
16:08 Odd_Bloke  Wait, I just noticed fail on my part.
16:07 Odd_Bloke  gmcharlt: http://rafb.net/p/hdGbK177.html
16:06 gmcharlt   could you paste in the first 40 lines of your /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm
16:06 gmcharlt   hmm - getting warmer
16:05 Odd_Bloke  gmcharlt: It's worked: http://rafb.net/p/t8CTjv56.html
16:03 gmcharlt   this temp change will avoid the error, and let the CGI script pass along the original error it was trying to report - that may give us more information
16:02 gmcharlt   my $debug_level = 2;
16:02 gmcharlt   Odd_Bloke: if you don't mind trying a local change to your /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm, try changing line 30 to
15:59 Odd_Bloke  Actually, yeah, the IPs aren't mine.
15:58 gmcharlt   the prx1.php stuff is probably somebody probing your website for an unrelated vulnerability
15:57 Odd_Bloke  gmcharlt: Thanks for helping me with this, BTW. :)
15:57 Odd_Bloke  Furthermore, there is the occasional "File does not exist: /usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/prx1.php" in the _staff_ interface error logs, at the same time as some of the other errors.  There doesn't seem to be a pattern to these occurring, however.
15:56 Odd_Bloke  Though looking at the OPAC error log I'm getting the same one whenever I attempt there as well.
15:55 Odd_Bloke  gmcharlt: This is the error I get when I tried it.
15:53 gmcharlt   Odd_Bloke: had you been able to get through the web installer on the staff interface?  or is this Apache error what you got when you tried it?
15:48 Odd_Bloke  gmcharlt: It is enabled and << SetEnv KOHA_CONF "/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml" >> and << SetEnv PERL5LIB "/usr/share/koha/lib" >> are in the Apache conf.
15:45 gmcharlt   in the Apache configuration is mod_env enabled, and what is the settings of the SetEnv directives in the Apache conf for Koha
15:44 Odd_Bloke  gmcharlt: http://oddbloke.uwcs.co.uk/perlv and only 5.8.
15:42 gmcharlt   Odd_Bloke: output of perl -V would help; also, do you have perl 5.8 or perl 5.10 installed, or both?
15:41 Odd_Bloke  Is there any way I could give you more debug information?
15:39 Odd_Bloke  gmcharlt: Etch.
15:34 gmcharlt   Odd_Bloke: this link from mailing list archives may be useful: http://www.nabble.com/Update-Debian-and-Koha-ceases-to-work...-td17409773.html
15:30 gmcharlt   Odd_Bloke: are you using etch or lenny?
15:29 acmoore    Odd_Bloke, that's pretty odd. I can't think of what would be causing that.
15:25 Odd_Bloke  04:46:00 < Odd_Bloke> I'm now getting "[Sun Jun 29 03:40:58 2008] [error] [client 2.4.6.8] Can't locate object method "preference" via package "C4::Context" at  /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 30." in the Koha Apache logs whenever I try to access it.  What could be causing this?
15:24 acmoore    Odd_Bloke, perhaps. what kinds of errors are you getting from apache?
15:24 gmcharlt   Odd_Bloke: what errors?
15:24 Odd_Bloke  acmoore: Could they possibly be related to the errors I'm now getting from Apache?
15:24 aindilis   np, thank you.  Koha rocks!
15:23 acmoore    thanks!
15:23 aindilis   k
15:23 acmoore    aindilis, or, it's probably better to send them to the koha-devel@koha.org mailing list, I guess.
15:23 aindilis   k
15:22 acmoore    aindilis, you can use a nopaste site, or send them to andrew.moore@liblime.com
15:21 acmoore    aindilis, can you send me the errors that you're seeing when you run 'make test', please? I'd like to get them sorted out for other installers.
15:21 acmoore    I wouldn't mind having that part of the test suite actually working for new installs.
15:20 acmoore    gmcharlt, I've never seen those test errors that Odd_Bloke is pointing out. (not that I'm surprised they're happening). Have you?
15:20 aindilis   I just didn't want to blow what has otherwise been a flawless install
15:20 aindilis   okay thanks, that's what I was thinking
15:20 gmcharlt   aindilis: you're probably safe to run sudo make install now - the syspref errors are probably a bug in test suite
15:19 gmcharlt   aindilis: ok, that's what I meant
15:19 aindilis   '
15:19 aindilis   gmcharlt: well yes I've 'create database koha;
15:18 aindilis   gmcharlt: no I have not
15:18 aindilis   Odd_Bloke: thanks, however those are not the errors
