23:15 * chobbs   isn't exactly sure what an authority record actually is
23:13 chobbs     I don't have any real idea what I'm talking about tho :)
23:13 chobbs     I'm wondering if I need to build the authority marc file separately as my conversion script loops through my bibliio marcs.
23:12 SelfishMan ha, perfect timing since I was about to ask the same thing
23:11 chobbs     Is there any magic for creating authority records from MARC records? This is one area I've not spent much time looking at yet.
22:26 brendan    yup, that's the big key there
22:26 gmcharlt   and of course, the answer to that question may well be different for en vs ua vs es vs fr, etc.
22:25 gmcharlt   but there's a lot to be said for start with a blank slate and just manually copying over the good bits
22:25 gmcharlt   or reconstruct it from the various crawls that people have been making
22:24 gmcharlt   I'm happy to bring over old content if we can get a recentish dump
22:24 brendan    yeah it seems that parts are useful and others...  I could care less about
22:24 gmcharlt   brendan: I'm neutral on that question, really
22:23 chobbs     at least it won't blow up with my thousands of adapters again :)
22:23 chobbs     i'll give that a shot
22:23 gmcharlt   chobbs: you may need to reindex
22:20 brendan    gmcharlt - RE: wiki  - how much of the old info are you looking to bring over?  or just assign someone to be responsible for porting a page/section on old wiki --> to new_update_awesome_koha_community wiki...
22:19 chobbs     gmcharlt:  any idea why opac would be showing all items checked out? See here for ex: http://koha.nhusd.k12.ca.us/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=sorcerer%27s+stone
22:17 brendan    yup would be a nice improvement and greatly appreciated
22:16 chobbs     now i just need to write it :)
22:16 brendan    I think we are on the same page now
22:16 brendan    :)
22:16 chobbs     no worries - it's a bit visual to describe in irc :)
22:16 * brendan  was thinking wrong box....
22:15 gmcharlt   one barcode input field to find them ...
22:15 brendan    right...
22:15 chobbs     my sugegstion allows you to wand the patron card into the item box and it would automatically load the next patron. Right now you get a "The barcode was not found" error if you try that.
22:14 chobbs     only if the cursor is in the top field on the page. Once that happens, the focus moves to the item field and you have to click back to the top field to wand the next patron.
22:14 brendan    i.e you wand the patron card number into checkout spot -- it loads the new borrower...  right?
22:13 brendan    that's how I use the system though?
22:13 * chobbs   still marvels at his typing. Must be Friday.
22:12 chobbs     would elimiate a lot of mousing and clicking
22:12 chobbs     So instead of scan card, scan book, scan book, click in patron field, scan card, scan book - instead they scann card, scan book, scan book, scan card, scan book, scan card, scan book, scan book, etc...
22:11 chobbs     brendan:  imagine a librarian checking out student after student (we're at a school). The way koha works now, they have to mouse to the patron field to process the next kid. What I'm sugegsting is that the item field would have a script attached that recognizes patron cards and lets them scan right into the book field.
22:10 chobbs     btw, did get my issues imported and it looks pretty good. The only oddity is that OPAC shows all items checked out in the search, but the detail for a biblio looks right
22:09 brendan    wow I don't have a clue what you said or asked up their chobbs
22:08 chobbs     Cool, somethign to do this weekend then :)
22:08 chobbs     But in theory, I could use a system preference for the regex and somehow incorporate the info from that into a js script and I'm off and running
22:07 gmcharlt   but if you want to get your feet wet, doing it as a global system preference would be a good start
22:07 gmcharlt   yeah ...
22:07 chobbs     yikes, I see where that leasds :)
22:06 gmcharlt   however, since a number of Koha users run multiple libraries in a single database
22:06 gmcharlt   in the simplest case, you'd make a system preference
22:06 chobbs     iow, to make something portable enough for others to use
22:06 gmcharlt   fairly straightforward, though a bit fiddling
22:06 chobbs     Assuming I got something hacked toegther, how easy is it to extend Koha so that I could enter the regex through system adminsitration
22:05 chobbs     Not so much... not to say I couldn't learn (just) enough to figure this one out.
22:04 gmcharlt   can you program in javascripty? ;)
22:04 chobbs     So when can I get a copy of it ;-)
22:03 gmcharlt   would be easy to do it exactly like that
22:01 chobbs     I'm envisioning somethink javascripty that matches a regex for our patron barcodes and submits the proper form if it sees one.
22:01 * chobbs   marvels at his typing...
22:00 chobbs     Here's a UI question: in our current ILS, when a patron card is scanned whiel checking out the prior patron, it loads the new patron and you can immediately scan items. How tough would it bne top get similar functionality in Koha?
20:58 CGI833     well.. perl
20:58 CGI833     problem is the system is cgi. and i'd have to learn it
20:57 CGI833     that woud not be an issue though I truelly would rather not to have the images in the database. If I where to code it, I'd place it somewhere on the web server. they're as public as it gets anyway
20:54 chris_n    the db could get quite big, however
20:54 chris_n    the short is this: it might not be hard to take that and do some additional coding to do what you want
20:53 CGI833     but I needed it to be associated with a record
20:53 CGI833     yes
20:53 chris_n    and also images for patron cards
20:53 CGI833     I've read in the manual
20:53 chris_n    we store images for patrons
20:53 chris_n    but not inside marc records
20:53 chris_n    CGI833: there is some image storage functionality in Koha
20:52 CGI833     thanks for the help :)
20:52 CGI833     well.. the client wants a ILMS  that has images ... you know clients... they can't understand why though they can see the sun, they can't reach it :P
20:50 owen       It sounds like you want a digital library rather than a library catalog
20:49 CGI833     thanks for the reply :) but the client wants images to be displayed along with the reference info.. since it intends to use it to catalog cartography. So I guess I'll have to search for a new system
20:44 owen       There's always the 856 tag, you could put in the URL to the location on your server where the image was stored
20:43 CGI833     regular jpeg ou png... actually a map. the image format would be irrelevant
20:42 owen       What kind of image do you want to add?
20:42 owen       There isn't.
20:42 CGI833     I can't seem to find any field that allows image upload in the new record interface :P
20:41 CGI833     will someone be kind enough to indicate in what way can I associate an image with a new record?
20:40 CGI833     not the same protocol, sftp is an extension of ssh
19:46 slef       the ssh connection starts up and then there is a subsystem requested
19:45 slef       and the other way around
19:42 gmcharlt   owen: same protocol, but it is possible to have a server accept ssh login but not sftp
19:40 wizzyrea   he could probablty scp
19:38 owen       Aren't they the same protocol?
19:38 * owen     wonders how the Koha-list poster could be connecting to his virtual machine via ssh but not be able to SFTP
19:08 slef       oic
19:08 slef       wizzyrea: yes
18:57 jdavidb    ooooo...
18:56 chris      laurel is selling her tshirts there, so im on kid duty
18:56 chris      http://craft2.org/
18:55 chris      craft2.0 today
18:54 jdavidb    Howdy, chris. :)
18:53 chris      :)
18:49 * jdavidb  has done his good deed for the day, can safely revert to grumpy-mode.
18:47 CGI306     hey guys thanks a lot.. I got the result that I want..
18:18 jdavidb    W?HERE type = "issue" SORT BY datetime DESC might be useful
18:17 CGI306     because I am getting the results from statistics table but there are so many records for that.. and none of that have a borrowernumber that I am looking for
18:16 CGI306     Can I have Same Item number for different ItemType?
18:12 wizzyrea   slef: still around?
18:11 jdavidb    Howdy, brendan! :D  you too.
18:11 brendan    good day to you
18:10 brendan    hi jdavidb :)
18:10 brendan    make sense
18:10 CGI306     Let me check the statistic table
18:10 brendan    ahhhh
18:10 CGI306     yes it is appearing but Item number is missing
18:10 brendan    if the item was checked out before and returned -- I'm sure that it should appear in the old_issues
18:10 jdavidb    The item number and borrowernumber would be in the statistics table.
18:09 CGI306     From Barcode I got Item number from DeletedItems table
18:09 CGI306     and I want to know the person who had that book last
18:09 CGI306     I have barcode
18:09 CGI306     issues tabe
18:09 CGI306     yes but item no is not present in old
18:09 brendan    whoops -- misread the questions :)
18:08 brendan    looking the old_issues tables
18:08 jdavidb    If you still know the barcode, it should be in the statistics log, as an "issue" transaction.
18:06 CGI306     hello.. Can anyone tell me How can I find a last borrower of deleted item book
18:03 CGI306     hello.. Can anyone tell me How can I find a last borrower of deleted item book
17:27 slef       wizzyrea: but I have no idea what I'm doing tomorrow, so if I don't do this now, I'll probably not get time for a week!
17:27 wizzyrea   okies cool beans
17:27 slef       wizzyrea: I think you have 85% of the info I have on it now.
17:26 slef       wizzyrea: sure.
17:19 wizzyrea   slef: can you give me a few days to think about the vendor page problem? I have a couple of thoughts and I'd rather not go all balls out crazy until I have a chance to think about it a little more :)
17:18 slef       I think I looked up one plugin... I can make a table sortable with javascript, but I can't randomise the starting order or handle non-JS browsers without a plugin IIRC.
17:18 * wizzyrea has something tickling her mind about a plugin that handles this kind of thing...
17:17 wizzyrea   if you have the time and the desire to code it, we can leave that as an option
17:16 slef       I tend to think that user-sortable table and trim down the info on the community site as much as possible (almost all vendors have their own sites anyway) is the better of the two, but if you don't want me to code it, I don't mind it being something else.
17:15 slef       I think there are basically two good solutions: random and user-sortable.
17:15 wizzyrea   I can look into randomizing the order of posts, dk what else to tell you
17:15 cm         greetings!  has anyone here tinkered with facets?  I've added the collection code to mine, but I can't figure out how to get it to display the description instead of the code.
17:14 slef       I think what will happen is the seller listed last on the "view all" would still be last on each tag.
17:14 wizzyrea   but you would have a lot fewer within each tag listing
17:13 wizzyrea   I suppose within tags
17:13 slef       so we still have someone always top and someone always last?
17:12 wizzyrea   only tags
17:12 wizzyrea   no sort
17:12 wizzyrea   seewhatimean?
17:11 wizzyrea   so list just the tags, only see the relevant posts
17:11 wizzyrea   click the tags, you get only things relative to that
17:11 wizzyrea   every vendor has a post, every post has multiple tags
17:11 wizzyrea   mm not necessarily
17:10 slef       I don't really see how cat/tags will clear up the support company page organization because there would still be a sort order, wouldn't there?
17:09 wizzyrea   which needs to be done anyway
17:09 wizzyrea   as it stands, I'll link to koha-fr.org
17:08 wizzyrea   localization is another issue, but patience will be required there as I'm new to WP+localization (perfectly happy and willing to learn though)
17:08 wizzyrea   i've already stated that the demos should be handled differently... I'm curious about this map bit, that would be neat to include, and I think the cat/tags would clear up the support company page organization
17:03 wizzyrea   sweet ty
17:03 slef       wizzyrea: http://old.nabble.com/-Koha-announce--Announcing-...-New-koha.org-Website-based-on-Plone-td23434214.html#a23447686
17:02 chobbs     cool!
17:02 chobbs     good deal, thanks for the info. at least I know I have the 952$q qorking correctly in my conversion script.
17:02 gmcharlt   you can do the latter by using sql item update items.onloan, then running the sync_items_in_marc.pl script
17:01 gmcharlt   chobbs: you'll need to both load issues and set the 952$q value to the yyyy-mm-dd due date
16:59 chobbs     Guess I'll work on loading the issues and see if that clears it up.
16:59 chobbs     That's what I thought, but it isn't showing them checked out. That may be because I 've not yet imported into the issues table yet - I've only imported MARC records (with 952 fields attached).
16:58 slef       I'm not sure what "Display only field" means there.
16:58 slef       http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/cataloging/item-fields-data-migration
16:57 slef       chobbs: it should be the due date, I think.
16:56 chobbs     Or will that become populated when I import into 'issues'?
16:54 chobbs     Conversion question: what's the appropriate value to put in 952_q to reflect that an item is checked out?
16:47 slef       me too
16:46 * wizzyrea is also working on a quite huge other project today, and is grateful for help :)
16:46 wizzyrea   okies
16:46 slef       I'll take a look for it in a mo
16:45 * wizzyrea can see a way it could work in her mind
16:45 wizzyrea   I will look back through the list for his comments
16:44 wizzyrea   (excluding the cat from the main timeline, of course)
16:44 slef       wizzyrea: I think thd-away did a long analysis when new.koha.org launched
16:44 wizzyrea   I'm thining that a post category + tags would be a better way to handle it
16:44 owen       Links to different views perhaps?
16:43 wizzyrea   can you give me a couple of days to think about the ultimate goal of the support company pages?
16:43 wizzyrea   what if we did something different than table sorting
16:43 slef       yes
16:43 wizzyrea   actually, I suppose it would be good to know what we need it for
16:41 owen       slef: do you mean for the vendor list?
16:41 wizzyrea   j/k, I'll look :)
16:41 wizzyrea   we have tables to sort? lol
16:30 slef       wizzyrea: can we install a table sorter plugin on koha-community.org please?  thd suggested it yonks ago and I think I researched it around the time the new site launched.  Let me know if I should dig up links.
16:29 slef       definitely possible
16:28 CGI833     know if it is possible to insert cartography in to koha ?
16:27 CGI833     does anyone one
16:21 schuster   ;)
16:20 CGI833     hi
16:09 gmcharlt   but I'd see great potential for moving more XML processing over to XML::Twig in 3.4
16:05 gmcharlt   not for 3.2, I think, but should be fine for 3.4
16:04 tomascohen Do u think i'd be ok to put XML::Twig as a dependency?
16:03 tomascohen gmcharlt: XML::Twig looks great, I like $twig->purge;
16:00 paul_p     moodaepo++
16:00 schuster   so did my eyes deceive me or did I see that 3.2.beta may be out next week?
15:58 moodaepo   wizzyrea++ omniscient_google+-?!
15:57 wizzyrea   owen: isn't it crazy that they know you so well. Scary.
15:55 * owen     thinks Google is good at showing me what I want to see
15:54 moodaepo   sql_select_limit then (?) > http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-system-variables.html
15:53 moodaepo   paul_p: I just had google mention that to me so it could be an older setting
15:51 paul_p     moodaepo: /me blind, but can't find "max_execution_time" on mysql doc
15:49 chris_n    #7 here also
15:48 wizzyrea   will give the spider a few more days to work... going to check to make sure our links are pointing to the right thing
15:48 wizzyrea   I was excited about it showing up #2, now I'm not as excited
15:47 gmcharlt   seems like it
15:47 wizzyrea   welp... so we can say "on the first page"
15:46 moodaepo   unsigned in #5
15:46 gmcharlt   #9 if I do it via lynx and reject Google's cookies
15:46 paul_p     owen: for me, you blog isn't on page 1 (sorry for that)
15:46 wizzyrea   unsigned in on mine it's #2
15:46 moodaepo   paul_p: max_execution_time and memory_limit might be something to check for you
15:45 paul_p     unsigned, it's last entry of page 1
15:44 * owen     is happy to see my Koha blog beating liblime.com in that list :P
15:44 * moodaepo heh koha hockey is #2
15:44 paul_p     signed, it's 1st, as I "upped" it.
15:44 wizzyrea   (maybe it's some magic of weighting searches based on your history)
15:44 wizzyrea   or no?
15:44 wizzyrea   signed into google?
15:44 wizzyrea   yea
15:44 moodaepo   we are talking about koha-community right?
15:44 owen       #7 for me
15:44 wizzyrea   how weird
15:44 moodaepo   wizzyrea: seems to be #4 for me on that link.
15:43 gmcharlt   #9 for me
15:43 paul_p     wizzyrea: nop, for me it's the last entry of page 1
15:43 wizzyrea   (the title hasn't been spidered yet, don't freak)
15:43 wizzyrea   is it #2 for anyone else?
15:43 wizzyrea   http://www.google.com/#q=koha&hl=en&fp=1
15:42 moodaepo   I'd look into setting a decent query timeout (?)
15:42 wizzyrea   oh my
15:42 paul_p     (tested yesterday :\ )
15:42 paul_p     on a 180 000items DB, that means consume more than 8GB of data, and kill the myslq
15:41 paul_p     atm, if you do that, mysql builds a result set that is biblio*items large.
15:41 paul_p     what i'm looking for is avoiding a mySQL crash if someone does something silly like "SELECT * FROM biblio JOIN items" in the SQL reports
15:40 moodaepo   paul_p: maybe by user is the only option?
15:38 paul_p     does anyone know how you could configure mysql to avoid a sql query taking all ressources ?
15:38 munin      moodaepo: The current temperature in South on Monks, Mankato, Minnesota is -0.6�C (9:36 AM CST on March 05, 2010). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 64%. Dew Point: -6.0�C. Windchill: -5.0�C. Pressure: 30.26 in 1024.6 hPa (Falling).
15:38 moodaepo   @wunder 56001
15:38 paul_p     hi world
15:28 tomascohen that was our goal when creating the spanish-speaking koha community
15:27 tomascohen wizzyrea: anything that contributes to integrate the community efforts will have my support
15:26 magnus     great!
15:25 gmcharlt   and now it doesn't
15:25 wizzyrea   um... yes, it does
15:25 magnus     wizzyrea: http://koha-community.org/hello-world/ still says "open source" and "ils"...
15:22 tomascohen gmcharlt: as we provide a example csv, I plan to provide a proper xsd for checking xml consistency and help other apps devs to test their output
15:21 gmcharlt   and I think it would be worth trying XML::Twig
15:21 gmcharlt   XML::LibXML or XML::SAX I think would be better for heavy-duty parsing
15:20 gmcharlt   tomascohen: didn't say that - it's more that XML::Simple can sometimes need an undue amount of fiddling to produce a consistent data structure that doesn't break on certain legal variations in the input
15:19 wizzyrea   tomascohen: we were talking about things that were ever so slightly controversial earlier, I thought you might be voicing an opinion ^.^
15:18 wizzyrea   oh ;) np np
15:18 tomascohen wizzyrea: sory, it was a mistake, not a good IRC user yet
15:18 tomascohen gmcharlt: You prefer not to use a DOM based lib?
15:18 wizzyrea   tomascohen: ?
15:18 wizzyrea   yes I did
15:17 tomascohen wizzyrea: no
15:17 tomascohen nope
15:16 owen       wizzyrea: Did you see the unapi example I msged you the other day?
15:16 gmcharlt   Koha uses XML::Simple in several places, but I have a slight allergy to it
15:16 tomascohen ideas? thoughts?
15:16 tomascohen perhaps XML::SAX is more suitable for large data sets
15:15 tomascohen and, before integrating it to koha, i'd like to ask
15:15 tomascohen using XML::Simple
15:15 tomascohen I've made some examples for patron import
15:14 tomascohen on how to deal with XML within the project?
15:14 tomascohen hi, is there a consensus between koha devs
15:14 wizzyrea   done and done
15:13 gmcharlt   +1 to just making that change
15:13 * owen     will not complain
15:13 wizzyrea   (which I don't anticipate)
15:13 wizzyrea   if someone complains
15:13 wizzyrea   nah I say don't even ask we'll just change it and ask forgiveness
15:12 gmcharlt   +1 "Koha Library Software Community"
15:12 wizzyrea   there was literally no thought involved in titling the page
15:12 slef       let me post a "does anyone mind..." sort of thing then
15:12 collum     I like your suggestion, as well.  I think the terms "open source" and "ILS" will eventually become dated.
15:12 * wizzyrea is a beg forgiveness rather than ask permission type
15:11 wizzyrea   we can say it's free software and and ILS somewhere else
15:11 wizzyrea   the software is Koha, we are it's community
15:11 wizzyrea   my thought is: it's so new, if we change it... no one will care.
15:10 wizzyrea   hehe
15:10 slef       having one's nose rubbed in one's mess is never fun
15:10 slef       as in "there's nothing wrong with open source" which isn't a discussion I enjoy having, as someone who was involved with the Open Source Initiative before it failed ;-)
15:09 slef       Well, I'll email it and we'll see, but I expect some flaming because we're unhappy about "open source" and "ILS" again.
15:09 wizzyrea   great number*
15:09 wizzyrea   not a great deal of brain cycles went into the current title
15:09 wizzyrea   well I actually like your suggestion, fwiw
15:08 slef       If it gets taken to a first-past-the-post vote, the US view will simply outnumber all.
15:07 owen       I think it needs a discussion and a vote.
15:07 slef       I was trying to come up with a globally-acceptable one... my best so far is "Koha Library Software Community"
15:07 wizzyrea   what do you want it to be?
15:07 slef       Or how best to approach it?
15:06 slef       Do I need to ask on the mailing list or at a community meeting about fixing the koha-community.org site name?
15:06 * chris_n  scratches his head
15:05 chris_n    other titles appear to sort correctly
15:05 chris_n    it appears to be an issue with the one title I mentioned
15:05 chris_n    hmm
15:00 owen       chris_n: And the title search: http://screencast.com/t/NzBlMjQ3NTA
14:58 owen       chris_n: http://screencast.com/t/MTcwYTZm
14:57 slef       That's more likely a problem, yes.
14:56 wizzyrea   which is probably the more problematic situation of the two
14:55 wizzyrea   yet
14:54 wizzyrea   oh, and there's no reverse DNS
14:54 slef       I'm pretty sure we don't use SPF, which is broken by design.
14:52 wizzyrea   so it's likely getting flagged/dumped as spam
14:52 wizzyrea   I can't put any SPF records for the domain on until the DNS situation is resolved :(
14:51 slef       wizzyrea: yo! Any idea what's with the password resetter? I'll go check my mailbox again.
14:48 chris_n    how's the battle with the docbook format going?
14:48 wizzyrea   morning koha peeps
14:48 chris_n    g'morning wizzyrea
14:47 chris_n    can anyone else running 3.01.00.120 or greater confirm the problem with relevance ranking?
14:46 wizzyrea   slef: it won't become like koha.org if I can avoid it
14:45 chris_n    hence, my thought that maybe the sorting is backwards (ie. from least relevant to most relevant)
14:44 chris_n    owen: the problem I'm seeing occurs when searching by title as well
14:43 owen       What do you mean?
14:42 chris_n    of course, if it is like most "problems," I'm simply missing the obvious ;)
14:41 chris_n    try a title search
14:41 * chris_n  wonders if the ranking algorithm is sorting backwards
14:40 owen       I get a similar result, which I can't even explain by pointing to additional keyword hits in subject or notes fields
14:39 chris_n    owen: same ranking search both by title and keyword
14:37 chris_n    http://i45.tinypic.com/2j0edl5.jpg # less clutter
14:37 chris_n    I'd think
14:37 chris_n    but it still should rank at the top
14:37 chris_n    keyword
14:36 chris_n    http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2j0edl5&s=6
14:36 owen       title or keyword search?
14:34 chris_n    it appears that if I search for "An Exact Title" and I have an item by that title, it appears near the bottom of the list rather than the top
14:33 owen       Cataloging search has always been different than regular search
14:33 owen       Oh, no, I guess that's different.

14:32 magnus     bug 4116
14:30 owen       I wonder if it's the same issue
14:30 magnus     chris_n: i get the results in the same order both in opac and staff (running HEAD)
14:30 owen       chris_n: A bug was filed recently about search results being different in the staff client
14:28 CGI149     hello
14:22 chris_n    it says it does, but does not appear to?
14:22 chris_n    or rather
14:22 chris_n    does the catalog search in the staff interface not rank results by relevancy?

13:56 adegroff   happy Friday all
13:56 chris_n    well, the scroll back buffer is hot this morning ;-)
13:44 slef       biab
13:43 slef       gmcharlt: in 12 minutes time, it will invent Skynet.
13:43 slef       (we call Koha an LMS more than an ILS, and we call it free software not open source)
13:43 gmcharlt   aye, the problem of the days - turn your back for a second, and your software starts racing towards the Singularity
13:42 slef       gmcharlt: I think http://koha-community.org/ knows that I want to try to change its title to something like "Koha Library Software Community" and that is why it is resisting - it's gone Artificially Intelligent ;-)
13:36 slef       seem to be
13:36 owen       Victim of a Chinese curse?
13:36 slef       hi owen - I think I'm having interesting times again :-/
13:33 jwagner    Hi owen.
13:32 owen       Hi
13:32 jdavidb    Mornin'. owen.
13:32 slef       hmm
13:31 munin      slef: Error: "hello" is not a valid command.
13:31 slef       munin: hello
13:31 munin      slef: Error: "do" is not a valid command.
13:31 slef       munin: do you ever tell people the later messages?
13:30 slef       no worries
13:30 slef       Mainly I wondered if you always have a sig like Brendan's if it's on company time, or if that is only the directors.
13:28 slef       ok, np
13:28 Nate       I can get back to you on that
13:27 slef       Nate: on a related note, do you have a social media policy for your workers?
13:26 Nate       If the community decides that it is appropriate to use it as such an outlet, we will graciously accept, otherwise we will refrain
13:26 slef       ok, but I'm not convinced that neutral point of view will prevail because I think most of koha-community are still vendor-linked, so it may need some very persuasive brass-necked people :-/
13:26 Nate       ByWater does not look at teh community site as a way to promote our company.
13:25 Nate       we in no way intend on making this a big issue, and will do whatever we all decide is appropriate
13:25 Nate       we will wait for the community at large to decide which semantics are appropriate adn proceed from theere
13:24 Nate       until the community has decided which way to post releases we will hold them
13:24 slef       Point remains - if it has "is using X" then it should be on your site and linked, not reposted.
13:24 davi       if you want
13:24 davi       Just say "Y is using Koha"
13:23 Nate       if it is taken another way we apologise
13:23 Nate       we title the release that way to avoid that
13:23 Nate       we say Y is using X to get Koha
13:23 Nate       we dont say X signed Y
13:22 Nate       we in no way intend our prs to be proclimations of who we sign
13:22 slef       Yes, I keep strumming the mailbox to make sure, but it's coming into one that I don't control 100%.
13:22 Nate       slef: this is Nate from ByWater...
13:22 slef       gmcharlt: thanks for trying.
13:22 gmcharlt   also, it's possible the email got caught up in a spam filter
13:21 gmcharlt   slef: I apologize - WP-MU is fighting with me on getting your password reset - I'm sure wizzyrea will help once she's online
13:20 slef       How would a link to the announcement on a company site not acheive the same?
13:19 gmcharlt   doesn't mean that any possible source of information should be removed
13:18 davi       They can evaluate vendors by other methods
13:16 gmcharlt   thought the PRs do give users one piece of information when they're evaluating vendors - customers of that vendor who have not necessarily been vetted by the future as "good references"
13:16 slef       I'm a bit unhappy if koha-community.org becomes simply like koha.org but shared between more companies than liblime.
13:15 slef       On the substance: I think that company X has persuaded company Y to sign a contract for koha is more often news about how persuasive the vendor sales team is and does not say much about koha.
13:14 slef       On the context: I think nengard has a clear conflict of interest as several of us do, but new readers would not know that.
13:13 slef       gmcharlt: thanks.
13:12 gmcharlt   slef: I'll reset your password and pm you
13:11 nengard    and on that note i'm going to stop this discussion cause i've had one hell of a week and i'm not in the mood to fight with anyone else
13:11 nengard    just cause you don't agree doesn't mean you can just assume we all have anterior motives - promoting that libraries are switching to Koha is necessary to further the popularity of Koha - and if that means having the library linked to a vendor so be it - i read these releases way before i worked for any support vendor and i know many libraries that do - it's koha news as much as it's vendor news
13:11 slef       (In case anyone else can look: I got "ERROR: Incorrect password" and I've tried the "Lost your password" but it hasn't arrived.)
13:10 slef       I also don't understand why I'm locked out of koha-community.org, but I want time to try to regain access and/or talk to wizzyrea before getting too upset with that.
13:09 slef       I don't see that at all.
13:09 slef       Why does seeing which companies are doing what with which libraries mean that it should be reposted to koha-community.org and not simply linked?
13:09 nengard    oh please!!!
13:08 slef       You are allowed to have an opinion, but I think it is naughty to +1 someone you have a commercial relationship with when that isn't obvious to the most causal observer.
13:07 nengard    am i not allowed to have my own opinion because i work for a company?
13:07 nengard    i enjoy seeing which companies are doing what with which libraries
13:07 nengard    that is my own opinion
13:07 nengard    i'm not taking any sides
13:07 Ropuch     :)
13:07 slef       but you have no contract with software.coop, so I'm unhappy you take sides without making your affiliation(s) clear.
13:06 nengard    and bywater has a contract with ptfs and i do work for them
13:06 nengard    and bywater has a contract with equinox and i do work for them
13:06 nengard    and yes bywater has a deal with biblibre and i do work for them
13:05 nengard    and so my boss is brendan
13:05 nengard    my primary company is bywater
13:05 nengard    i'm an independant contractor who works for several companies and several libraries and several individuals
13:04 slef       nengard: I thought you worked for both biblibre and bywater?
13:04 nengard    slef - he's not my boss
13:04 slef       nengard: please don't post just to agree with your boss :-(
13:02 slef       You need to run the web installer to put things in it.
13:02 slef       But there is nothing in it

12:07 slef       ps 6724 to see its details
12:06 slef       "[1] 6724" just means it went into the background
12:06 slef       There is no way it will show the same message
12:06 Ropuch     If ist shows line with /usr/bin/perl misc/bin/zebraqueue_daemon.pl
12:06 Ropuch     ps a | grep zebra
12:05 Nouamn     mean it is working? should I go for installation
12:05 Nouamn     [1] 6724

12:01 Nouamn     r u there?
12:01 Nouamn     04Ropuch01
11:56 Nouamn     and should I continue installation without it or first I must fix it
11:56 Nouamn     Slef: r u there?
11:51 Nouamn     I tried it also several times
11:51 Nouamn     it also show same message
11:48 slef       I think that means: sudo -u koha misc/...
11:47 Nouamn     Im in so hurry to populate web installer
11:47 Nouamn     Slef: r u there?
11:44 Nouamn     Im not getting ur point
11:43 Nouamn     u mean it?
11:43 Nouamn     if i write su koha  then it show koha@lumhs-b70715be2:/home/nouman$
11:43 Nouamn     Im not getting
11:42 slef       So I think it was up to you.
11:42 slef       "it's also recommended that you create a Koha system user, which you will have specified during the install process."
11:41 Nouamn     mean?
11:41 slef       checking INSTALL
11:38 Nouman     I kept every thing default so what should be my koha system user a/c
11:37 slef       try replacing it with the name of your koha system user account
11:37 slef       That looks to me like $KOHA is not set.
11:36 Nouman     http://pastebin.org/101648
11:36 Nouman     one error is still there so should I skip it or fix it
11:35 Nouman     Thanks Ropuch
11:35 Ropuch     Glad to hear you have your Koha :)
11:35 Nouman     what a tremendous acheivement.....
11:35 Nouman     Yeah offcourse
11:34 Ropuch     Nouman: you should have try irc earlier ;>
11:34 Nouman     Actually since last 6 months
11:34 Nouman     IM engaging koha since last 3 months
11:33 slef       but then people need to pay the co-op.
11:33 slef       usually rather quicker than 3 hours ;-)
11:33 slef       It's OK.  I do this stuff all the time for software.coop
11:32 Nouman     Slef: lot of thanks again
11:32 Nouman     I cant explain my feeling
11:32 Nouman     Slef: couple of thanks.. installation is in working.
11:29 slef       You could edit /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml to include the new password.
11:27 Nouman     what should I do now
11:27 Nouman     sorry '12' in mysql
11:27 Nouman     while  '12' in katikoan
11:27 Nouman     so is it necessary to keep same password as I given default in Makefile.PL
11:26 Nouman     Slef: I already create this  but password to mysql -u kohaadmin -p is changed with the installer
11:25 magnus     slef: thanks, definitely time for lunch then...
11:21 slef       Nouman: if that fails, then you need to repeat step "2.2 Create the Koha database"
11:21 Nouman     bz same password is not working
11:21 Nouman     No I have give different password to installer and give here different
11:20 slef       Nouman: can you try mysql -u kohaadmin -p koha with the password you gave the installer?
11:20 slef       magnus: it is in http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=tree;f=misc/translator;h=b3b99b51b65989d74b4a5a71ec93ba7ee9f23e11;hb=d3ca0bd7f6d953e667d29327eb20ee5a7b7be130
11:19 Nouman     http://pastebin.org/101644
11:19 Nouman     Slef It now show another error
11:17 magnus     am i overdue for a bit of lunch or does http://koha-community.org/tarballs-of-koha-3-2-available/ imply that http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=tree;f=misc/translator;hb=HEAD is missing a script called install-code.pl?
11:16 Nouman     slef: it show error
11:10 slef       Amit_G: hi
11:05 Amit_G     heya slef
11:01 slef       Did you /etc/init.d/apache2 reload ?
11:01 slef       ah, you mean you saved the file?
11:01 slef       back
10:47 Nouman     slef: r u ther?
10:41 Nouman     on top of browser it show 404 not found
10:41 Nouman     http://pastebin.org/101631
10:40 slef       what is exact message?
10:39 Nouman     slef: I have changed but still show message
10:34 Nouman     even I type to localhost  it show same msg
10:34 slef       yes, you maybe need to "sudo vi /etc..."
10:31 Nouman     changes are  not saving
10:26 Nouman     I think it is read only file and changes could not be happeing
10:26 Nouman     shift+z twice is not saving the file
10:25 Nouman     gedit also open the file but it cant save
10:24 Nouman     editing is not happeing
10:24 Nouman     it is opening  but When I want to edit there become error
10:24 slef       why not?
10:24 Nouman     when I try to do vi  /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf
10:23 Nouman     slef: I cant do it
10:17 slef       (shift-z twice)
10:17 slef       ZZ
10:17 Nouman     I have open this via vi
10:17 Nouman     slef How can I save file
10:09 slef       <VirtualHost *:80> only
10:06 Nouman     or <VirtualHost *:80> only
10:04 Nouman     should I write this way <VirtualHost 121.52.186.197*:8080>
10:04 slef       I think most servers don't need that, so it isn't the default
10:03 slef       to listen on multiple addresses
10:03 slef       so you need to have * in the VirtualHost lines I think
10:01 Nouman     from my computer and network it will be accessed 10.1.2.36 while outside it will be accessed 121.52
10:01 slef       then save&exit, then /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
10:01 slef       <VirtualHost *:8080>
10:01 Nouman     My computer is on netting by Network administrator
10:01 slef       and the similar line later on to say
10:00 slef       <VirtualHost *:80>
10:00 slef       Try changing line 6 to say
10:00 slef       I think its address is http://121.52.186.197:8080/
10:00 Nouman     is it right or not?
10:00 slef       OK, that is interesting.
10:00 slef       Not enough to break most things, but enough to break autodetection.
09:59 Nouman     this is the already connection
09:59 Nouman     http://pastebin.org/101617
09:59 slef       The installer autodetected the address that does not work because your local DNS configuration is slightly broken.
09:58 slef       What was happening was that Koha is only listening on an address that does not work.
09:58 slef       then retry
09:58 slef       then save and exit, /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
09:58 slef       ServerAlias 10.1.2.36
09:58 slef       below each ServerName line, add
09:57 slef       Open the file /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf
09:57 slef       OK
09:57 Nouman     after that it show this problem
09:56 Nouman     I just removed koha and starting fresh installation
09:56 Nouman     I was accessing koha in past as http://10.1.2.36:8080
09:55 Nouman     http://pastebin.org/101616
09:54 Nouman     it show networki time out
09:54 slef       What happens when you visit http://lumhs-b70715be2:8080/ ?
09:53 Nouman     http://pastebin.org/101614
09:52 slef       Can you put the output of "apache2ctl -S" into pastebin, please?
09:51 slef       Removing apache2 will not change where Koha is listening.
09:51 Nouman     I removed apache2 and installed it again but change
09:51 slef       That is because Koha is listening at lumhs-b70715be2:8080, not servername:8080 or localhost.
09:51 Nouman     When I want to put servername:8080 or localhost it show the problem
09:50 Nouman     but now i removed and now trying to install koha it is now showing
09:50 slef       Visit http://lumhs-b70715be2:8080/ and Koha may appear.
09:49 Nouman     koha was installed last time
09:49 Nouman     Im not getting what r u saying
09:49 slef       whether or not it can hear you - different question :-/
09:48 slef       try that - that is where your Koha is installed
09:48 Nouman     no
09:48 slef       OK, have you visited http://lumhs-b70715be2:8080/ ?
09:48 Nouman     output... mean?
09:47 Nouman     ok
09:47 slef       erm, that is output
09:47 slef       Nouman: ok, I'll send you connection details in private
09:47 Nouman     http://pastebin.org/101608
09:44 Ropuch     Ok, bbiab
09:44 Ropuch     ;>
09:44 Ropuch     slef: it's just easier to explain someone to install ssh server, taht's what I meant
09:43 Nouman     I have given. it did not show any output just happen
09:42 slef       Ropuch: everyone is behind NAT, even me.
09:42 Ropuch     heheh
09:41 slef       Ropuch: it won't stop me.
09:41 slef       Nouman: try the grep command above first
09:41 Ropuch     slef: Nouman seems to be behind NAT
09:41 Nouman     slef: how can I give u acces to my computer in debian-lenny.. I dont know the way. tell me as  I can give u access
09:40 Ropuch     ;>
09:40 slef       hi Ropuch
09:40 slef       retry with that command
09:40 slef       it moved
09:40 slef       grep ServerName /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf
09:40 slef       Oh my mistake!
09:39 slef       if your connection is reasonably high-speed
09:39 slef       (or boot me out, as you like)
09:39 slef       you can watch over my shoulder
09:39 slef       Nouman: want to give me access to your computer?
09:38 Nouman     I need help
09:36 Nouman     slef: it show grep 121.52.156.200 /etc/koha-httpd.conf grep: /etc/koha-httpd.conf: No such file or directory
09:35 Ropuch     Hi slef
09:34 slef       Nouman: Could you run "grep ServerName /etc/koha-httpd.conf" please?
09:31 Nouman     Slef: it show File does not exist: /htdocs
09:29 slef       So I assume you finished step "4. Configure and start Apache".
09:28 slef       I'll just check whether the INSTALL.debian-lenny is correct
09:27 slef       also make sure the "apache2ctl -S" output lists koha-httpd.conf
09:27 slef       Nouman: your apache is misconfigured.  Check /var/log/apache2/error.log
09:21 Nouman     plz solve my issue

08:34 Nouman     I have problem
08:34 Nouman     could any body help me  about apache server
08:32 brendan    hi Ropuch
08:31 Ropuch     Hi brendan
08:28 Ropuch     Set VirtualHost to 10.1.2.36, restart apache and try http://10.1.2.36:8080
08:26 Nouman     so how can I add and configure records
08:26 Nouman     but koha is not running
08:23 Ropuch     And by the time you decide it's time to go live, I'm sure you'l find the way to fix apache issues
08:22 Ropuch     You can add some record, configure it
08:22 Ropuch     I mean: you can have working koha that will be anly accesible from local machnes (within 10.1.* network)
08:20 Nouman     I installed at localhost
08:20 Nouman     locally? Im not getting
08:19 Ropuch     And have koha locally untill you'll figure out how to fix apache problem
08:18 Ropuch     You replace VirtualHost 121.52.186.197 with VirtualHost 10.1.2.36
08:18 Nouman     ok
08:18 Ropuch     I'm just average koha user, not apache expert
08:12 Nouman     What should I do now
08:12 Nouman     Yeah! I kept each and every thing by default.
08:10 Ropuch     Problem with The requested URL / was not found... is not koha-related
08:09 Ropuch     And then tune it to your need
08:09 Ropuch     Actually i strongly advice you to do local koha install, test it
08:08 Ropuch     And avoiding troubles in general
08:08 Ropuch     And inthat case leaving default is better idea for troubleshoting
08:08 Ropuch     I was sure you're doing insytall for test only
08:07 Ropuch     It's ok
08:07 Nouman     is it my mistake ot it is alright.
08:07 Nouman     I replace pwd 12 instead of katikoan of mysql
08:05 Nouman     opac as well as intranet search was not working even books were added. while z39.50 was workin. I have imported books via z39.50
08:05 Nouman     No I want to deploy koha in my organization..
08:04 Ropuch     Nouman: you're installing koha for testing,m right? The opac don't need to be accesible from outside?
08:03 Nouman     but search from z39.50 was working
08:03 Nouman     all was right but catalgue search from my own system was not working even after completing fast index
08:02 Ropuch     And it was working, right?
08:02 Nouman     3.00.04_fixed
08:02 Ropuch     What koha version was installed earlier?
08:01 Nouman     but when I tried to remove and install again 3.00.05 it show this problem
08:01 Nouman     through same configuration, some one have installed koha on this pc
08:00 Ropuch     Nevermind
08:00 Ropuch     Oh
08:00 Nouman     actual ip outiside this system is 121.52.186.197 but on my pc it is 10.1.2.36
08:00 Ropuch     I'm not sure I understand
07:59 Nouman     My pc is on netting
07:59 Ropuch     In /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
07:58 Ropuch     Can you replace VirtualHost 121.52.186.197 with VirtualHost 127.0.1.1
07:57 Ropuch     It's odd
07:56 Nouman     I tried this also but it is also not working, it also show the same prolem
07:56 Ropuch     http://10.1.2.36:8080
07:55 Nouman     Not Found  The requested URL / was not found on this server. Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) Server at 10.1.2.36 Port 8080

07:44 Ropuch     Ok
07:44 Nouman     exactly
07:44 Nouman     Yeah, I followed each and every step
07:44 Ropuch     You've followed all steps?
07:43 Nouman     it is not installing
07:43 Nouman     http://<servername>:8080/

07:42 Ropuch     Have you finished your 3.00.05 instaltion?
07:42 Ropuch     No, that's not what I mean
07:41 Nouman     yeah, koha-3.00.04_fixed was installed on this pc
07:41 Ropuch     You installed koha?
07:41 Nouman     mean? Im not getting

03:34 brendan    heya Amit_G
03:33 Amit_G     heya brendan
02:20 brendan    not sure all I can think about is MFHD_ITEM etc.
02:19 gmcharlt   time to unroll the loop and do something else for a bit
02:19 * brendan  feels like my head is stuck in this loop
02:19 chris_n    but it sure looks as though you have a handle on things... especially the db
02:18 brendan    heh
02:18 chris_n    it's Friday eve, brendan ;)
02:18 chris_n    hehe
02:08 brendan    poor wall
02:08 * brendan  hits head on wall
02:07 gmcharlt   it's *my* $dbh, I tell you
02:07 brendan    oh man sorry wrong window :)
02:07 brendan    my $dbh = C4::Context->dbh;
02:04 gmcharlt   you're welcome
02:01 chobbs     and thanks to screen, I can shut down my computer and head home. Really appreciate the help!
02:00 chobbs     wilco
02:00 chobbs     indeed
02:00 gmcharlt   then rerun rebuild_zebra
02:00 gmcharlt   are they wonderful things?
01:59 chobbs     wow, real relationships :)
01:59 gmcharlt   in mysql
01:59 chobbs     in mysql, or through koha?
01:59 gmcharlt   just deleting from biblio will cascade all the way
01:59 chobbs     and items, of course
01:59 chobbs     is that as easy as delete from biblio, biblioitem where biblionumber=78852; ?
01:58 gmcharlt   more seriously, removing that bib and items for now would make sense - you can then munge that record to split it into a few dozen copies of the bib
01:58 chobbs     That's like 5% of our biblioitems table :)
01:58 * chobbs   shakes head.
01:58 chobbs     alright, I appreciate your help identifying the problem. Now to figure out what to do about it.
01:57 chobbs     that was the year before I took over, so no idea :)
01:57 gmcharlt   what on earth did the poor slop who did it do to get that task? ;)
01:57 gmcharlt   ah right
01:56 chobbs     3147 is the start of our barcode tag number
01:56 chobbs     no, they barcoded 9,961!
01:56 gmcharlt   did somebody really go to the trouble of barcoding over 3,000 video adapters?
01:56 chobbs     although we apparently got them fairly recently (03/2005)
01:55 gmcharlt   indeed
01:55 chobbs     tempted to just drop it :)
01:55 chobbs     nope, some ridiculous video adapter for computers.
01:55 gmcharlt   ah - is it a magazine?
01:54 chobbs     3147 being our barcodes
01:54 chobbs     9961
01:54 chobbs     grep '<subfield code="p">3147' Downloads/bib-78852.marcxml | wc -l
01:54 gmcharlt   anyway, try rerrunning rebuild_zebra.;pl with the -x option
01:54 chobbs     but that's way wrong
01:54 gmcharlt   thought so
01:53 chobbs      695
01:53 gmcharlt   what does select count(*) from items where biblionumber = 78852 show?
01:53 chobbs     the 952 fields seem to be run together
01:53 chobbs     OK, but looking at it, it seems broken.
01:53 gmcharlt   but practically speaking, you'll need to duplicate that bib and spread its items around
01:52 gmcharlt   ... and that way, it would ignore the 99,999 byte limit of MARC record blob
01:51 gmcharlt   let's not kill chris' pastebot :)
01:51 chobbs     Yeah, it's 200K lines long - you sure you want me to paste it, or can we assume it's just plain not going to like it :)
01:51 gmcharlt   adding -x to rebuild_zebra.pl causing it to process the bibs in thier MARC XML form
01:51 gmcharlt   whee!
01:50 chobbs     wow, an 8MB marcxml file :)
01:49 chobbs     holy crap we have a lot of those items :)
01:48 chobbs     grumble
01:47 gmcharlt   is it biblionumber 78852 or 78552 that's the bad one?
01:47 gmcharlt   yep
01:46 chobbs     The new one is based on this url - is this the right way to access it? http://koha:8080/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/detail.pl?biblionumber=78552
01:46 pastebot   "chobbs" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "marcxml for 78552" (89 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/13
01:45 chobbs     hold on
01:45 chobbs     that's not the right one :(
01:43 pastebot   "chobbs" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "marcxml for 78552" (446 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/12
01:42 chobbs     ne'er mind
01:42 chobbs     how would i get that?
01:41 gmcharlt   could you paste biblioitems.marcxml for that bib?
01:41 chobbs     select length(marc) from biblioitems where biblionumber=78852; 120239
01:40 gmcharlt   eh, oh well :)
01:40 chobbs     select min(biblionumber) from biblioitems; 1
01:39 * gmcharlt takes a wild guess that the lowest biblionumber is your DB is 301
01:38 chobbs     OK, biblionumber 78852
01:38 chobbs     ah, ok. :)
01:38 gmcharlt   select count(*), even
01:37 gmcharlt   select(*) is always slow in InnoDB - it's just a quirk of that storage engine
01:37 * chobbs   wonders if biblioitems is indexed: 43 seconds to select count(*) ?
01:37 gmcharlt   select biblionumber from biblioitems where length(marc) > 99999;
01:36 gmcharlt   and
01:36 gmcharlt   select biblionumber from biblioitems where marc like '%nam2208509%';
01:36 gmcharlt   try this
01:35 chobbs     grr. no results in either case.
01:34 gmcharlt   select biblionumber from biblioitems where marc like '%Vid22005-04-1150%';
01:34 gmcharlt   or if that doesn't work
01:33 chobbs     sweet
01:32 gmcharlt   select biblionumber from biblioitems where marc like '1201666%';
01:31 chobbs     So how would I go about finding the record in my source MARC file, and figure out what I did wrong while building it? I'm in the process of conversion, btw.
01:30 pastebot   "chobbs" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "Bad record" (12 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/11
01:30 chobbs     got it
01:29 gmcharlt   ok - less out.txt and grep for ^( will show you the bad records
01:28 chobbs     found the 10 extra lines :)
01:28 chobbs     found the 10 extra lines :)
01:27 pastebot   "chobbs" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "OK, there are errors in there:" (10 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/10
01:24 chobbs     I thought I had 90,606
01:24 chobbs     actually, it might be 10 over, if memory serves
01:24 chobbs     90616, which is correct
01:23 gmcharlt   what does grep -v '^[0-9]' out.txt | grep -v '^$' show ?
01:23 chobbs     yup, figured that out :)
01:23 chobbs     I have 90,589 records, which is pretty much right on
01:22 gmcharlt   indicator regex should be [ 0-9][ 0-9]
01:22 chobbs     and it's not
01:22 chobbs     (assuming this is a legitimate way of counting records: grep '^245 [0-9][0-9] \$a' out.txt | wc -l )
01:21 chobbs     but it stopped after 21,945 titles
01:20 chobbs     well, no errors
01:19 chobbs     let me wait and see - 90,000 records :)
01:19 gmcharlt   what do you get when you run yaz-marcdump the_record.mrc
01:18 chobbs     marclint is having trouble with the record as well - looks like I'm missing a record terminator of some sort
01:17 pastebot   "chobbs" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "zebra_rebbuild squawk" (4 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/9
01:15 chobbs     I'm actually in screen, but still no joy :)
01:14 chobbs     Actually, it ought to be in theirc log, since I showed it to Chris earlier - wait one.
01:14 gmcharlt   screen is your friend ;)
01:13 chobbs     I knew you were going to ask that - it's scrolled out of my terminal buffer, so I'll need to re-run zebra_build :(
01:13 gmcharlt   could you paste the specific squawk?
01:12 chobbs     Which would that be?
01:12 chobbs     Good question. It's the number zebra_rebuild squawked on.
01:11 gmcharlt   is 78552 the biblionumber of the database or the sequence number of the bib in the original file?
01:10 chobbs     I've run marclint on the exported_records and it blows up on record 78552, so I'm trying to id what's wrong with that record.
01:10 chobbs     More accurately, loading seems to work, but indexing is breaking.
01:10 chobbs     Well ,the problem is that loading them isn't working, and I'm trying to figure out why :)
01:09 gmcharlt   if you need to do it repeated on the same set of records, you could load and index them, then retrieve the records of interest
01:08 gmcharlt   well, that's pretty much the way to do it
01:06 chobbs     Anyone know of a good way to pick out one marc record (by number) in a marc file of 90K records? I'm currently looping through all records and using a counter to locate the record of interest. It feels kinda ugly :)
01:05 chobbs     Thanks!
01:04 gmcharlt   chobbs: http://paste.workbuffer.org/
01:03 gmcharlt   pastebot: help
01:01 chobbs     Is there a particular pastebin you all use for sharing code snippets in chat?
00:58 gmcharlt   atu clearly has a future as a very direct therapist
00:54 brendan    :)
00:48 chris      http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz/2010/03/05/friday-afternoon-funnies/
