12:15 vedran       is there any Linux plication equivalent to Marc Edit?
12:15 |Lupin|      vedran: not as far as I know
12:16 gmcharlt     vedran: nothing that covers the whole panapoly
12:16 gmcharlt     but you can run MarcEdit on mono
12:16 gmcharlt     hdl_laptop: hi
12:16 hdl_laptop   hi gmcharlt
12:17 vedran       gmcharlt: OK, I guess there are some tools that I see on sourceforge.net, but I do not know all their features and how they work in practise
12:19 |Lupin|      vedran: what do you need to do ?
12:20 vedran       |Lupin|: I need to transfer existing library data into Marc21 format
12:20 |Lupin|      vedran: and the existing system does not provide an export to marc21 feature ?
12:21 vedran       |Lupin|: no, existing system is a sort of very basic application based on ph/mysql
12:22 vedran       |Lupin|: I can try to export as csv and then try to generate Marc21
12:22 |Lupin|      vedran: why not, yes
12:23 vedran       I want to see is there anything in Linux that can do it
12:23 |Lupin|      vedran: if you are a bit familiar with perl
12:23 |Lupin|      vedran: you may want to use MARC::Record
12:23 |Lupin|      vedran: IMO it's wrth learning to use this module, and there is a good tutorial for it
12:23 vedran       |Lupin|: I am not perl developer
12:24 |Lupin|      vedran: ok
12:24 |Lupin|      vedran: then I have no suggesiton, sorry
12:24 vedran       |Lupin|: ok, thanks, where I can find documentation for it
12:25 |Lupin|      vedran: for what ?
12:25 ebegin       vedran, you may have overlooked gmcharlt comment.  You may be able to run MarcEdit on Linux by using mono (http://mono-project.com/)
12:25 vedran       |Lupin|: Marc::Record
12:26 |Lupin|      vedran: perldoc MARC::Doc::Tutorial
12:28 vedran       ebegin: thanks
12:28 vedran       I have to ho now, bbl

14:57 nicomo       magnusenger: around?
15:55 wizzyrea     owen: what plugin are you using to display code on your blog?
15:56 owen         http://www.beyondcoding.com/2007/12/16/release-wordpress-plugin-syntaxhighlighter-plus/
15:56 owen         ...but I guess I should be looking at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/
15:57 wizzyrea     owen: awesome, thanks
15:57 wizzyrea     you are cranking out some sweet posts these days :)
15:57 owen         Yeah, I just have to pick some other things to neglect ;)
15:58 gmcharlt     owen++
16:00 owen         Hey, anyone know of a good example of an OPAC which ties record URLs to a session so they can't be shared?
16:09 owen         Hmmm... Maybe not such a common problem anymore?
16:18 pianohacker  gmcharlt: Cool, looks like you're home safe
16:18 gmcharlt     pianohacker: buried in cats, but safe
16:19 pianohacker  owen: You mean like http://.../opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=800 ?
16:19 pianohacker  Heheh
16:20 gmcharlt     pianohacker: no, more like http://..../&sessionid=5482u9pgrjkl089543809&second_session_id=2398ewjkvbdsfdsafdsa - that sort of think
16:21 pianohacker  Ah, yes. Verso spits out urls like that, I believe
16:21 gmcharlt     owen: http://catalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=4&ti=1,4&Search%5FArg=amish&Search%5FCode=GKEY%5E%2A&CNT=100&type=quick&PID=_jD5fc5SzHHxFQYO6XhcsJ0qY&SEQ=20090717122058&SID=1
16:21 gmcharlt     owen: from LC's catalog
16:22 owen         That works for me. Will it expire?
16:22 gmcharlt     although to be fair, they also have a more reasonably permalink
16:22 gmcharlt     http://catalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&CMD=lccn%2297071926%22&v3=1&CNT=10

17:03 atz          owen: yeah, LOC is a punk that way
18:07 wizzyrea     owen: sirsi ties catalog searches to a session
18:07 wizzyrea     at least it used to
18:15 wizzyrea     http://kcaqua.kclibrary.org/result.ashx?inlibrary=false&noext=false&debug=&lastquery=&lvq=&lsi=&uilang=en&searchmode=assoc&hardsort=&skin=hybrid-kcpl&rctx=&c_over=1&branch=&ref=&curpage=1&concept=twilight&q=twilight&si=user&cs=user&cmd=find#&frame=1247854457986
18:15 wizzyrea     lordy
18:25 pianohacker  Has anyone else been getting emails from SMECC when sending to the Koha mailing list?
18:25 owen         Yes
18:25 owen         If enough of us email back and complain maybe they'll turn it off
18:25 pianohacker  Ah, good. Where did I put my DDOS botnet...
18:25 pianohacker  I'll show them a complaint
18:26 gmcharlt     if we don't hear from them in the next day or two, I'm going to ask chris to remove them from the Koha mailing list
18:26 gmcharlt     absolutely unacceptable behavior
18:26 pianohacker  gmcharlt: Sounds good
18:26 gmcharlt     but I'll assume that they're being clueness for now rather than malicious
18:29 pianohacker  What's even better is that they include the usual annoying and pointless confidentiality warning, too
18:33 pianohacker  brb
18:42 jdavidb      gmcharlt:  Another believer in Hanlon's Razor, I see.  :)  Me too.  Cluelessness is far more common than malice.
18:42 gmcharlt     indeed
18:59 chris        morning
19:00 gmcharlt     hi chris
19:00 rhcl         hi chris
19:05 wizzyrea     Chris, happy weekend
19:09 chris        so far so good
19:09 chris        kahu and I are watching maisy under blankets on the couch
19:10 rhcl         Is maisy cold?
19:11 owen         :P
19:11 chris        yeah, i needed some comma's in there :)
19:11 chris        @wunder wellington, nz
19:11 munin        chris: The current temperature in Wellington, New Zealand is 10.0°C (7:00 AM NZST on July 18, 2009). Conditions: Mostly Cloudy. Humidity: 87%. Dew Point: 8.0°C. Windchill: 7.0°C. Pressure: 29.42 in 996 hPa (Steady).
19:11 rhcl         Oh, maisy isn't under the blankets.
19:13 chris        maisy is currently in a library, and charlie is being loud
19:17 rhcl         maisy must not be cereal
19:17 chris        yeah, charlie is awesome
19:18 chris        big crocodile that laughs all the time
19:18 owen         Now see what we did chris? Patches will lie untouched while gmcharlt immerses himself in Maisy mythology
19:18 chris        hehe
19:18 chris        welcome to our world :)
19:18 gmcharlt     well, since my rugrats have four legs apiece, not much worry of that :-P
19:18 owen         Actually I'm kinda bummed because Maisy isn't on anymore here. Thatcher's never even seen it
19:19 chris        ohhh thats a shame
19:19 chris        (we have dvd's)
19:19 chris        safer than watching tv
19:19 chris        you dont get ambushed by little einsteins
19:20 chris        which makes me want to throw things at the tv
19:20 owen         How else are the tykes going to get indoctrinated into the white male perspective?
19:21 chris        hehe
19:21 chris        words of wisdom from kahu just now "I love wheelbarrows!"
19:21 chris        i have no idea where that one came from
19:25 chris        wizzyrea: you feeling any better?
19:32 chris        http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/2604943/Calm-family-time-before-All-Blacks-storm
19:33 chris        (nz vs australia in rugby tonight... thats all ppl will be talking about for the day)
19:53 chris        hi sekjal
19:53 sekjal       does anyone in here know what would happen if I tried to import a MARC record with multiple subfield 'o' in the 952 field?
19:53 sekjal       hi, chris
19:54 pianohacker  Multiple callnumbers? I think Koha would just use the first one
19:54 sekjal       that's what I'm hoping
19:54 pianohacker  The others _might_ be kept in more_subfields_xml, but I wouldn't count on it
19:54 Snow_Fox     im gonna go out on a limb here and say chaos destruction end of days type thing
19:54 Snow_Fox     but thena gian
19:54 Snow_Fox     i dont know Koha that well
19:55 pianohacker  Snow_Fox: How are your Koha escapades going these days?
19:55 Snow_Fox     going well enough
19:55 chris        i think it will use the first one, and all of them will exist in the xml, until you edit it
19:55 Snow_Fox     i think i have a handle of the system basics and how to fiddle with stuff
19:55 chris        thats my guess anyway
19:55 Snow_Fox     still havnt a clue about MARC and other biblio stuff cause i didnt start life as a Librarian
19:55 Snow_Fox     but it goes
19:56 pianohacker  sekjal: (01:55:37 PM) chris: i think it will use the first one, and all of them will exist in the xml, until you edit it
19:56 pianohacker  I know enough MARC to get around and little enough not to go insane, just through having to work with it
19:57 sekjal       sorry for disappearing... using the Mibbit widgit on my iGoogle page.  need to stop that
19:57 chris        :)
19:58 chris        screen + irssi = never disappearing :)
19:58 sekjal       so, Koha will likely grab the first itemcallnumber it sees, and ignore a second
19:58 pianohacker  Yup
19:58 sekjal       good
19:58 pianohacker  The other item subfields should be much the same
19:59 sekjal       I'm trying to come up with a way to put our biblio level call numbers into our items, unless an item level call number already exists
20:00 pianohacker  sekjal: I _think_ the itemcallnumber system preference will do that for you
20:00 pianohacker  Not sure if it will do so on import, YMMV
20:01 sekjal       I'll investigate.  I need to do another import with my updated XSLT,
20:02 sekjal       and we're also working to standardize all our call numbers into the 090 field
20:02 sekjal       (currently mixed 090 and 050)
21:16 wizzyrea     chris: I feel less icky than yesterday. But still icky :P
21:16 pianohacker  wizzyrea: Ouch. Icky in what way?
21:25 chris        hopefully you get some sleep over the weekend
21:29 wizzyrea     um... half cold-like and half flu-like
21:29 rhcl         Cold Swine Flu?
21:29 wizzyrea     oh snap
21:29 wizzyrea     probably
21:29 gmcharlt     Bacon Flu?
21:29 wizzyrea     lol
21:30 wizzyrea     mmm bacon
21:30 gmcharlt     sorry :)
21:30 gmcharlt     get well soon
21:30 wizzyrea     nah I like it, that amuses me
21:30 pianohacker  If it's Cold Bacon Flu, I have _exactly_ the cure for that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9dskxN10N0
21:30 wizzyrea     but ty, I hope to get well soon
21:30 chris        mmm bacon
21:31 chris        its brunch day today
21:31 pianohacker  Heh
21:31 wizzyrea     ...wow... simply...
21:31 wizzyrea     wow
21:32 wizzyrea     pianohacker: that is, I have no words
21:32 chris        which basically consist of getting everything done so that there is utterly no need to be in town from about 5pm onwards
21:32 chris        hehe that is pretty special
21:33 wizzyrea     Flaming bacon may become my new favorite curse
21:33 wizzyrea     "holy flaming bacon batman!"
21:33 chris        hehe thats yet another thing laurel misses from america
21:33 wizzyrea     bacon?
21:33 chris        the cut of it
21:34 wizzyrea     ahh
21:34 chris        we dont do the streaky strips, fried until they break
21:34 chris        :)
21:34 chris        mostly shoulder bacon here
21:34 wizzyrea     then, what do you do with the belly?
21:34 pianohacker  Bacon's just not the same unless it's ridiculously unhealthy
21:34 wizzyrea     pianohacker speaks truth
21:35 wizzyrea     i mean, the point of american bacon is to erm, use the belly of the hog (I think)
21:35 chris        well you can get belly too
21:35 jdavidb      Now, how to get Munin to add that line from wizzyrea ...
21:35 wizzyrea     but you have to ask for "belly bacon"
21:35 chris        shoulder is actually more fatter
21:35 chris        yep
21:35 wizzyrea     hrm.
21:35 chris        well middle bacon
21:35 chris        http://www.freedomfarms.co.nz/products/shoulderbacon.asp
21:36 wizzyrea     I like pork in general. I think I'd be ok with this
21:36 chris        is what is in my fridge
21:36 wizzyrea     lol jdavidb
21:37 chris        http://www.freedomfarms.co.nz/products/streakybacon.asp <--- might have to find this next time
21:37 wizzyrea     it's really "streaky bacon"
21:37 wizzyrea     like, that's the term for it?

21:37 chris        yeah
21:37 chris        nzers are kinda literal
21:38 pianohacker  Streaky doesn't immediately sound like something I'd want in my food
21:38 pianohacker  "Sorry Dad, the ham went all streaky, had to throw it out"

21:41 pianohacker  rhcl: And of course karma (parsing++)
21:41 chris        $8.95 for 400grams
21:41 chris        of streaky
21:41 rhcl         So how much does a '@gcalc 1 lb in grams' of bacon cost in NZ?
21:41 rhcl         OH wow.
21:41 wizzyrea     wow seriously
21:42 chris        @gcalc 8.95 nzd in USD
21:42 munin        chris: 8.95 New Zealand dollars = 5.753955 U.S. dollars
21:42 chris        there ya go
21:42 pianohacker  @gcalc 5.75 * 2.5
21:42 munin        pianohacker: 5.75 * 2.5 = 14.37500
21:42 chris        yeah we export most of ours
21:42 pianohacker  So $14.38 per kg
21:42 rhcl         $2.50 for 453.59237 grams here. About 1/2 NZ.
21:43 wizzyrea     yea if you get the cheapie stuff (and don't let them lie, there *is* a difference :P)
21:43 chris        its the same with fish, we can get a much better price exporting
21:43 chris        so it keeps the price up for local
21:43 rhcl         If Kohacon is in NZ next year we need to take chris some bacon.
21:43 chris        hehe
21:43 chris        you wont get that through the airport :)
21:43 wizzyrea     doh!
21:44 rhcl         Yea, that'll be considered terrorist material-biohazard or something.
21:44 wizzyrea     do you ever get tired of answering (dumb) questions about NZ?
21:44 wizzyrea     (mostly from me)
21:45 chris        http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/enter/declare
21:45 chris        we dont care about terrorists
21:46 chris        well not as much as we care about rabies, and TB

21:47 rhcl         That's fifty pounds of bacon worth in one apple.
21:47 chris        hehe
21:47 wizzyrea     mmm bacon and apples *drool*
21:48 chris        traveling tip, just declare anything you are even slightly unsure of
21:48 wizzyrea     and that NZ bacon producer chris sent suggests wrapping prunes in bacon. Best. Idea. Ever.
21:49 rhcl         And you do what with that? Bake it?
21:49 Snow_Fox     prunes in bacon?
21:49 chris        oh yeah, that is good
21:49 wizzyrea     I"d guess you'd fry it
21:49 pianohacker  Deep fry that sucker
21:49 chris        bake it normally
21:49 Snow_Fox     ....
21:49 chris        but yeah, you americans would probably fry it
21:49 chris        and then put peanut butter and chocolate on it
21:49 pianohacker  I wonder if you can deep fry bacon
21:49 chris        :-)
21:49 Snow_Fox     ........
21:49 wizzyrea     you can deep fry anything
21:49 wizzyrea     :P
21:50 Snow_Fox     :\ was hungry but no more
21:50 wizzyrea     my hometown has a treat that is rye bread and swedish meatballs, dipped in batter and deep fried
21:50 wizzyrea     the "viking on a stick"
21:50 chris        lol
21:50 pianohacker  Elvis was a fan of peanut butter and bacon sandwiches
21:50 wizzyrea     which is both hilarious and slightly unsettling
21:50 pianohacker  Dear god
21:50 Snow_Fox     Lindsborg?
21:50 wizzyrea     yep, in your neighborhood
21:50 wizzyrea     :)
21:51 Snow_Fox     im so going next time
21:51 Snow_Fox     just for viking on a stick
21:51 wizzyrea     lol
21:51 chris        the nz thing is not deep frying everything, its sticking it into a pie
21:51 wizzyrea     ooh, pie
21:51 Snow_Fox     just to disturb people with
21:51 Snow_Fox     hehe
21:51 wizzyrea     lol
21:51 wizzyrea     it's too bad they don't give them horns
21:51 wizzyrea     I think they onlyl do them at hyllningsfest
21:51 wizzyrea     every 2 year
21:51 wizzyrea     s
21:52 wizzyrea     for tacos :P
21:52 Snow_Fox     im looking forward to good fajitas tonight
21:52 wizzyrea     ooh also good
21:52 Snow_Fox     ie where the onions are nicely carmeled
21:52 wizzyrea     with bacon!
21:52 wizzyrea     oh wait
21:52 Snow_Fox     you and my girl friend would def get along
21:52 rhcl         Our local Long John Silver's is selling fish tacos now. Doesn't sound particularly great to me.
21:53 wizzyrea     ^.^
21:53 Snow_Fox     i noticed it at mine too
21:53 wizzyrea     fish tacos (for eating) can be amazing
21:53 wizzyrea     but they have got to be fresh
21:53 Snow_Fox     pass
21:53 Snow_Fox     wizzy stop messign with my appitite
21:53 wizzyrea     fajitas!
21:54 wizzyrea     my roommate in college used to make water chestnuts, wrapped in bacon, and baked in bbq sauce
21:54 pianohacker  Snow_Fox: fresh macaroni and cheese with cheddar, pepperjack, parmesan and mozzarella
21:55 pianohacker  Mom made that last night, was pretty much fantastic
21:55 jdavidb      Fish tacos are yummy!  I had some when I was in San Diego.
21:55 Snow_Fox     the chicken carbonara from Martinelles here in salina
21:55 wizzyrea     the best ones I've had (fish tacos) were in hawaii
21:55 Snow_Fox     has bacon fresh choped green onions with ham and smothered with alfrado sauce
21:55 wizzyrea     mac and cheese, yum
21:56 wizzyrea     carbonara = yummy too
21:56 chris        hehe
21:56 rhcl         bacon, lettuce and tom sandwich
21:56 wizzyrea     OMG
21:56 wizzyrea     my favorite thing ever AND i have garden tomatoes!
21:56 wizzyrea     must remember to get lettuce...
21:57 wizzyrea     what sucks is that in our climate the lettuce is a spring veg and tomatoes are heartily entrenched in summer
21:57 pianohacker  rhcl: Homemade ones of those are pretty good
21:57 wizzyrea     so it's tough to get garden lettuce and garrden tomatoes at the same time
21:57 pianohacker  wizzyrea: Ahh, so you can't localvore a good BLT?
21:57 wizzyrea     well you *can*
21:57 wizzyrea     but you have to replant your lettuce in early june
21:58 wizzyrea     or mid june, or somesuch
21:58 wizzyrea     ok, gotta go, peps
21:58 pianohacker  bye
21:58 Snow_Fox     kk
21:58 wizzyrea     ty for the most amusing end to a friday I've had in a while.
21:58 wizzyrea     :)
21:58 Snow_Fox     BACON!
21:59 pianohacker  Hey, my productivity is going to be pretty much busted till dinner, I don't think that's so amusing
21:59 chris        cya later
22:02 rhcl         Yea, think I'm outta here too...
22:18 gmcharlt     exactly why you keep him around? ;)
22:18 jdavidb      Her.  Yes, she's good for that sort of thing, gmcharlt.  People ask me why I call her "Minion".  I usually calmly point out that good guys have "Sidekicks."
22:19 gmcharlt     gotcha
23:25 pianohacker  Good night
04:18 chris        afternoon
04:37 thd          chris: I am trying to reconfigure a small Koha with a test set of records but Zebra keeps showing me the previous large test set.
04:39 thd          s/Zebra/something mysterious/
04:39 chris        have you done a rebuild_zebra.pl -r
04:39 chris        to reset
04:39 chris        (ie delete and rebuild the indexes)
04:39 thd          yes but as a bare command that fails
04:40 chris        with what message?
04:40 thd          it must be rebuild_zebra -b or -a with -r
04:40 chris        yeah thats right
04:40 chris        so give it a b :)
04:40 chris        -r -b
04:40 chris        or -a (if you want to rebuild the authorities)
04:40 thd          must the -r come first?
04:40 chris        doesnt matter
04:41 thd          should not matter
04:41 thd          I have done it many times
04:41 chris        put a -v there too
04:41 chris        so you can see what its doing
04:41 chris        and do you run at as the same user who runs the cron job?
04:42 thd          I ran as root.
04:42 chris        because if you are running it with a user that doesnt have permissions to update the files, they wont be updated
04:42 thd          root must have permissions must it not
04:42 thd          I have checked and the files are updated
04:42 chris        run it with -v
04:42 chris        ull see how many its updating that way
04:48 thd          -v is an unsupported option in one version but I have found another instance of Koha or Zebra perhaps running on the machine
04:48 chris        that would do it, if you are rebuilding one, and another one is being searched
04:50 thd          yes, that is it.  I have been testing the wrong database
04:50 thd          :)
04:53 thd          I should have looked more carefully at which Koha instance was being served by Apache.

08:34 |Lupin|      hi all
08:41 chris        hi |Lupin|
08:43 |Lupin|      hello chris !
08:43 |Lupin|      how are you ?
08:43 chris        good thanks
08:46 |Lupin|      great
08:49 |Lupin|      is there something special to tell to cpan so that it installs modules in the user's home directory rather than system-wide ?
08:51 chris        yes
08:51 chris        when configuring it
08:51 chris        you can give it a prefix to install them in
08:52 chris        https://help.webfaction.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=132
08:52 |Lupin|      chris: ah I didn't do that, thanks.
08:56 |Lupin|      it's strange: step 1 is okay, so I jumped to step 3, which is installing modules, but this didn't work.
08:57 chris        you need to do step 2, the configure part of it
08:57 chris        you can go
08:57 chris        cpan -e shell
08:57 chris        and then restart the configuration
08:58 |Lupin|      chris: I did a cpan initialize and this seemed to work...
08:58 |Lupin|      chris: however I selected automatic configuration. Should I rather use a manual configuration ?
08:58 chris        thats right
08:59 |Lupin|      chris: ok so let's redo that :)
08:59 chris        you need to do it manually and when you get to the question about parameters for Makefile.PL
08:59 chris        put in something similair to that webpage
09:06 |Lupin|      oho
09:06 |Lupin|      just pressed enter to the question...
09:07 chris        whoops
09:07 chris        have to get to the end and start again
09:07 |Lupin|      guess there is no way to go to previous question :)
09:07 |Lupin|      oh maybe it's not too late actually
09:08 |Lupin|      the question for which I pressed enter had 'site' as a default
09:08 chris        right
09:09 |Lupin|      oh no it's too late actually
09:09 |Lupin|      now it's asking for the parameters for make
09:09 |Lupin|      make_arg
09:10 chris        yeah its the Makefile.PL one you want
09:10 |Lupin|      Parameters for the 'perl Makefile.PL' command? [INSTALLDIRS=site] was the previous one
09:10 |Lupin|      I think it's there I had to give the right parameters... will have to restart :)
09:11 |Lupin|      actually I think it is possible to reconfigure just one variable...
09:21 chris        yes thats right
09:21 chris        i cant remember the syntax tho
09:21 chris        right, nz just beat australia .. now i can watch prince caspian and relax :)
09:22 |Lupin|      :-)))
09:22 |Lupin|      is it rugby you are talking about ?
09:22 chris        yes
09:23 |Lupin|      k :)
09:28 |Lupin|      chris: will there be something special to do at koha install time so that the fresshly installed perl modules (in home dir) are found ?
09:29 chris        you probably need to set PERL5LIB before running perl Makefile.PL so it looks in the right place
09:31 |Lupin|      chris: ok, done already. And with that, even when the script will be run by apache, it will know where to look ?
09:31 chris        nope
09:31 chris        you will need to edit the koha-httpd.conf
09:32 chris        to make sure the PERL5LIB there includes where the koha modules are, plus where you installed the modules via cpan
09:42 |Lupin|      chris: okay, thanks a lot
09:42 chris        np
10:37 martinmorris hello, i'm having trouble indexing with zebra, anybody who can assist?
10:43 |Lupin|      martinmorris: not sure, but e can try
10:43 |Lupin|      martinmorris: what is your problem exactly ?
10:43 martinmorris actually i might have sorted it, although i'm not sure my export directories are set up entirely correctly
10:43 |Lupin|      martinmorris: ok
10:43 martinmorris can you say what the permissions should be on my /var/lock/koha/zebradb/biblios and authorities directories?
10:44 |Lupin|      martinmorris: I'd say they have to be readable by the user which is running apache
10:44 martinmorris ah
10:44 martinmorris and the koha user as well?
10:45 |Lupin|      martinmorris: and also if you have a cron job for the indexing the user running this job must be able to write there, I assume
10:45 martinmorris so that would be a cron job running rebuild_zebra.pl?
10:45 |Lupin|      martinmorris: by koha user you mean the one that logs in to the staff client ?
10:45 martinmorris no, the koha unix user i had to set up during installation
10:46 |Lupin|      martinmorris: ah I think this user is a mysql user used to connect to the database, so I think this user does not need special permissions...
10:46 martinmorris ok
10:46 |Lupin|      martinmorris: I'm not even sure there is really a need to create a _system_ koha user
10:46 |Lupin|      I thought it's just a database user...
10:47 martinmorris well i certainly have that too
10:47 |Lupin|      martinmorris: I mean... you may be able to remove the koha system user because it is not necessary
10:47 martinmorris well, if it's doing no harm... :)
10:47 |Lupin|      unless you have been asked to create it by a documentation...
10:48 martinmorris i seem to remember creating it during the installatino
10:48 martinmorris doesn't matter
10:48 martinmorris i'm all a bit rusty, i did this last year but now coming back to it all
10:48 |Lupin|      martinmorris: no it can't harm, so you can probably keep it at least until your koha installation works
10:48 |Lupin|      martinmorris: in the long run, though, I'd say it's not a very good idea to have useless system accouns
10:49 |Lupin|      martinmorris: k
10:49 martinmorris brb
10:49 |Lupin|      why not starting with a clean system then ? i.e. removing everything you did before and just follow the whole procedure again...
11:06 martinmorris it's ok, it's working fine :)
11:06 martinmorris and probably will remove the koha account but will check through the documentation first just in case
11:16 |Lupin|      martinmorris: looks wise, yeah
11:17 |Lupin|      see you all
11:17 |Lupin|      bye
