22:12 pianohack I trust that the people I'm handing these servers to would create a sudo account if given a root password, but no reason not to just do it for them :)
22:09 imp       cryptofilesystems and such are the only problems i can imagine (the rest is rootable ;)
22:08 munin     moodaepo: The current temperature in MSU Physics Dept, Mankato, Minnesota is 31.2�C (5:14 PM CDT on August 03, 2010). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 74%. Dew Point: 26.0�C. Pressure: 28.94 in 979.9 hPa (Falling).
22:08 moodaepo  @wunder 56001
22:06 wizzyrea_ ^^
22:05 imp       create a second account with the same privileges and hand that one over
22:04 pianohack In my case, it's because I'm leaving this library and need to make sure everything's written down or saved somewhere :)
22:03 pianohack Nah. I do all of my server admin through a personal account with sudo rights
22:03 jcamins_a Oh, I thought you meant for multiple users who need to administer the server at once.
22:03 wizzyrea_ locked up
22:02 wizzyrea_ oh. I keep mine in a file on a thumb drive in the fire safe
22:02 pianohack As in, "our sysadmin got hit by a bus, and he was the only one that had a sudo-capable login!"
22:02 pianohack Still, the access passwords need to be somewhere, to avoid the bus problem :)
22:02 jcamins_a pianohack: Likewise.
22:02 pianohack imp: Where possible, yes :)
22:02 wizzyrea_ ^^
22:01 imp       pianohack: sudo and no rootpassword
22:01 pianohack How do you manage the problem of shared access to passwords (server root passwords, etc.)
22:01 pianohack Hi, fellow sysadmins
21:45 chris     http://wiki.koha-community.org/w/index.php?title=Encoding_and_Character_Sets_in_Koha&action=history
21:42 chris     right its gone
21:41 gmcharlt  (nad updated anyway
21:41 gmcharlt  but to be clear - content of uncertain copyright needs to be rewritten
21:41 wizzyrea_ ! it's gmcharlt!
21:41 brendan   got it in wayback - so wipe away
21:41 chris     :)
21:41 chris     so look at it quickly
21:41 gmcharlt  yes, although it's fairly old
21:41 chris     im about to wipe that page
21:40 chris     but since kados wrote it, we have no permission
21:40 brendan   thanks
21:40 brendan   ah
21:40 chris     because nengard pulled it over from the old wiki
21:40 wizzyrea_ doesn't gmcharlt have a backup of the wiki
21:40 chris     http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Encoding_and_Character_Sets_in_Koha
21:40 chris     and write it again
21:40 chris     but we need to kill it
21:39 chris     its been done
21:39 brendan   :)
21:38 brendan   I guess I could use the waybackmachinge
21:38 brendan   was there a protocol for getting pages off the old wiki?  I'm looking for http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=encodingscratchpad
20:58 sekjal    cheers, #koha.  I'm out
20:36 richard   hi
20:35 sekjal    yeah, I'm gunning for that bug, too, when I get a chance
20:35 wizzyrea_ mmm probably not very likely
20:35 sekjal    2
20:35 wizzyrea_ how many branches?
20:34 munin     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4373 major, P2, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Placing and Processing Items Simultaneously causes multiple issues
20:34 wizzyrea_ bug 4373
20:34 wizzyrea_ I wonder if 4373 is affecting you
20:34 sekjal    a full test would need to look at both cases (default supplied and human-set)
20:34 wizzyrea_ aha
20:32 sekjal    just branch transfers during normal checkout/checkin
20:32 sekjal    report didn't go much into depth about holds
20:32 sekjal    not sure
20:32 wizzyrea_ (or is a human changing it)
20:31 wizzyrea_ (the logic supplied pickup branch)
20:31 wizzyrea_ question, are they changing the pickup branch from the default?
20:30 sekjal    so, step 2: place hold, listing patron home branch, designated pickup branch, and title or item level
20:30 sekjal    I guess the extension of that would be to record holds actions in the list, as well.
20:30 sekjal    continue with checkins at various libraries, etc.
20:29 sekjal    list the home branch, holding branch, message, and current status
20:28 sekjal    step one: checkout Item A at Library B
20:28 sekjal    our client recorded the series of actions and the various states of data associated at each stage
20:27 wizzyrea_ every day, more or less.
20:27 sekjal    wizzyrea_: do you experience transfer weirdness often?
20:25 wizzyrea_ < has a massive number of holds
20:25 sekjal    or maybe that's just the headcold slowing me down...
20:25 wizzyrea_ do you need help?
20:25 wizzyrea_ :(
20:25 sekjal    so much so I'm having trouble interpreting the report....
20:25 wizzyrea_ I am sure that will affect us
20:25 sekjal    it gets even more complicated when there holds involved
20:24 wizzyrea_ whoa, can't say I've seen that one vefore
20:24 chris     ah right
20:24 sekjal    so, some sort of weird double swap
20:24 sekjal    what they're reporting is that it asks them to transfer to Library B, then when they checkin at Library B it asks to transfer to Library A, then it clears up
20:23 chris     in that case it should wipe the transfer eh? since its back where it belongs?
20:22 chris     ahh
20:22 sekjal    they are getting the worst behaviour when checking out an item belonging to Library A at Library B, then returning it to Library A.
20:21 chris     ah yes, hlt have mentioned that too
20:20 munin     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3536 blocker, PATCH-Sent, ---, chris, ASSIGNED, Checked In item requiring transfer does not consistently trigger transfer prompt
20:20 sekjal    analyzing some nicely done research from one of clients about the nature of (what appears to be) bug 3536
20:20 sekjal    but of course :)
20:19 chris     keeping busy?
20:19 chris     hiya sekjal :)

19:05 owen      why_not_just_try_it_for_yourself++
19:05 owen      Oh yeah, it just says "Must specify -b or -a to reindex bibs or authorities"
19:03 jcamins   I could be mistaken, though.
19:03 jcamins   It just displays the help, I think. I think you need to specify -b and/or -a.
19:02 owen      What are the defaults of rebuild_zebra.pl if run without parameters?
18:59 CGI627    take it easy, owen
18:59 CGI627    I'm playing with a few other issues so you might see me back here later
18:58 CGI627    thanks
18:58 CGI627    yeah, I got the reindex to work
18:56 owen      Any luck CGI627?
18:44 CGI627    I just scrolled down the directory and I think you're right.  let me check it
18:43 owen      (assuming when you typed "et" above you meant "etc")
18:43 owen      ls /home/koha/koha-dev/etc/
18:42 CGI627    Not really.  I'm just using what I used last time.
18:41 owen      Are you sure your path to koha-conf.xml is correct?
18:41 CGI627    I had done it w/o flags several weeks ago and it worked fine.
18:41 CGI627    no flags
18:41 CGI627    Then an error message said "unable to locate Koha configuration file koha-conf.xml at /home/koha/kohaclone/C4/Context.pm line 307"
18:40 owen      just  "perl rebuild_nozebra.pl," or with flags ("-b") ?
18:38 CGI627    i logged in as "koha" and then "kohaclone", scrolled down the directory to "migration_tools", and input "export PERL5LIB=/home/koha/kohaclone" then "export KOHA_CONF=/home/koha/koha-dev/et/koha-conf.xml" and lastly "perl rebuild_nozebra.pl"
18:37 owen      What you were doing before isn't working, or you don't remember what you did before?
18:36 CGI627    I had learned how to reindex a few weeks ago but I can't seem to get it to work now.  Thanks

15:37 wasabi    ahh, twas chris.n ..
15:37 jcamins   owen: isn't it great how you automatically get credit?
15:37 owen      Today? It wasn't mine. I was only threatening to send one :)
15:35 wasabi    the 'community-edition' email
15:35 owen      ?
15:34 wasabi    owen, i chortled reading your recent email
15:26 owen      I'll be back to ask the same questions the next time I do a Koha install ;)
15:25 owen      Thanks for your help
15:25 owen      jcamins++
15:25 owen      wasabi++
15:24 owen      that was it, zebraserv hadn't started properly
15:21 wasabi    and watch the debug, while searching...
15:21 wasabi    yeah, restart zebrasrv  - outputing to the screen
15:20 wasabi    killall zebrasrv; zebrasrv -f /path/to/koha-conf.xml
15:19 wasabi    so yr searching problems are to do with zebrasrv....
15:19 jcamins   Maybe zebrasrv isn't running properly?
15:19 wasabi    looks correct ;)

15:15 wasabi    owen:  pastebin your rebuild output, ill take a look...
15:13 jcamins   I'm not sure. You have exceeded my knowledge of Zebra.
15:13 owen      If I ever did an install where zebra worked right the first time I'd probably die of shock.
15:11 owen      Doesn't that mean 2344 records inserted?
15:11 owen      "zebraidx(32023) [log] Records: 2344 i/u/d 2344/0/0"
15:10 owen      This is a new install of 3.0.x
15:10 jcamins   *use
15:10 jcamins   Did it used to work?
15:10 jcamins   Hm.
15:09 owen      Still no luck
15:06 owen      Oh, never mind, I was trying again but forgot to switch users
15:04 owen      Oh wait, I didn't see this before: "Could not select database biblios errCode=109"
15:03 jcamins   Hm, that was what we did wrong (wrong group).
15:02 owen      I'm running rebuild_zebra.pl as the koha user
15:01 owen      I've changed the user/group for koha-dev/var/lib/zebradb and koha-dev/var/lock/zebradb
15:01 jcamins   Well, I guess it depends where the permissions are wrong.
15:00 jcamins   owen: I don't think so.
15:00 owen      jcamins: I'm assuming a permissions error would be displayed onscreen when running rebuild_zebra.pl?
14:59 sekjal    owen: full reindex, or from zebraqueue?
14:59 jcamins   permissions error?
14:59 kf        zebrasrv running?
14:58 owen      Can anyone suggest where to look next?
14:57 owen      No apparent error is displayed when running rebuild_zebra.pl, but I'm getting no results from my searches

14:12 hdl       owen: jwagner beware, those fonts may not support Unicode very well.
14:06 jwagner   Very useful pages -- thanks!
14:05 owen      http://web.mit.edu/jmorzins/www/fonts.html
14:04 owen      http://www.ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/WindowsMacFonts.html
14:04 jwagner   OK, thanks.
14:04 owen      Yes, and those choices are very limited
14:02 jwagner   So the trick is to find something that's within a common e.g. Windows install?
14:02 owen      Browsers will recognize any font which is installed on the user's machine.
14:01 jwagner   owen, do you know if there's a site somewhere that lists what fonts most browsers will recognize/use?  I have an odd font request that Firefox isn't recognizing (Edwardian Script).  I can get it to recognize other fonts, though.
13:47 kf        :)
13:47 kf        hmpf.
13:46 owen      or jKwery for those without a Q in their alphabet?
13:46 kf        owen: yep, an old and ugly bug
13:46 kf        Query
13:45 kf        I think I will use jWuery to fix that (once I find time to write the code)

13:45 kf        no way to translate the entries there
13:45 kf        the fines tab in opac and staff
13:45 kf        one really rough edge is fines
13:43 kf        have to force myself to use German templates and fix all those small things
13:43 kf        owen: yep, they do. And I often enough work with english templates :(
13:42 jcamins   owen: ::cough:: Voyager ::cough:: Aleph ::cough::

13:40 jcamins   Is there some way to make preformatted lines in mediawiki wrap politely?
13:38 jcamins   There it is.

13:37 jcamins   Yay!
13:36 owen      jcamins: chris_n beat you to the rant
13:33 jcamins   any corrections?
13:32 jcamins   owen: ... Koha 3.2 beta (note that what you are calling "Community edition" is actually "Koha") ...
13:28 * kf      sends jcamins a cookie
13:27 jcamins   kf: if you have a spare cookie, I would not say no. Especially since I never got around to baking yesterday. We had to leave the windows open because our apartment smelled of paint, so it would've been a bit warm.
13:27 jcamins   It took four minutes, but I successfully managed to coax a "compose e-mail" window out of Thunderbird.
13:27 kf        jcamins: need cookie?
13:23 jcamins   In fact, it looks like I will leave the replying to someone else. Grrr.
13:22 owen      That would have definitely provoked a rant
13:22 brendan   Heh
13:22 jcamins   I will leave the ranting to you either way.
13:22 owen      True
13:22 jcamins   Because that would just be confusing.
13:22 jcamins   owen: at least the e-mail didn't start out with "I installed the latest version of Koha, Koha Harley," right?
13:21 * owen    is trying to resist the urge to reply with a rant about the term "community edition"
13:18 jcamins   I see someone is trying to install Koha on FreeBSD.
13:18 jcamins   Good morning.
13:17 briceSanc hi all
13:08 kf        :)
13:08 kf        hi druthb
13:08 * druthb  has already had a cookie this morning.
13:08 druthb    *perks at the mention of her name
13:08 kf        yay :)
13:07 * jwagner sends owen and kf cookies
13:07 owen      Don't blame druthb, jwagner, I would have eaten them if I was there!
13:06 kf        jwagner: cookies... *sighs*
13:06 kf        hi hdl
13:06 jwagner   kf, there's a few left.  This is because druthb was out of the office for most of yesterday....
13:05 hdl       hi all
13:03 kf        jwagner: is your pile of cookies already history?
13:00 * jwagner perks up ears -- cooookkkkkkiiiiiieeeeeessssss?
12:55 magnus    say no more... ;-)
12:54 kf        Home made chocolate chip cookies
12:54 magnus    think there was one spare room (with separate, private bathroom (not ensuite)) when i booked
12:53 kf        ah ok
12:53 magnus    (tip from chris)
12:52 magnus    yup, or rather b&b: http://www.booklovers.co.nz/
12:51 kf        magnus: have you booked your hotel for wellington yet?
12:51 kf        hm confusing my identities. no good sign
12:51 * owen    has really got to stop asking his 3.0.x repo to "rebase origin." The poor thing.
12:49 magnus    cait_mtg: yup
12:49 cait_mtg  magnus, still around?
12:48 owen      Barking ineffective commands to the computer to end the current simulation confirms (I hope) that I'm not in a simulation. Randomly asking HAL to open doors for me will only make me worry when the doors don't open.
12:46 chris_n   yup... or making sure you still have control of HAL
12:45 owen      Thanks chris_n. You know how it is, sometimes you have to make sure you're not living inside a Holodeck program concocted by the holographic projection of Professor Moriarty.
12:44 * chris_n hands owen a cup of coffee
12:42 owen      Computer: End program.
12:41 zer0c00l  quit
11:56 zer0c00l  kf: ok. bye , later
11:56 kf        I have a meeting now, will be back later
11:56 zer0c00l  kf :-) . Yeah i am going to test it with virtual box. I run fedora :-)
11:55 kf        you can use virtual box - I have my development installation on windows with virtual box. i
11:53 zer0c00l  kf: ok, I have downloaded some koha live cd (ubuntu 10.04) will consider using it
11:53 kf        I would recommend testing the current stable or development version on linux
11:53 kf        you will miss a lot of features and there can be bugs too
11:52 kf        2.2.9 is very old
11:51 zer0c00l  kf: Just trying it on windows (koha 2.2.9 ) for my school
11:51 zer0c00l  kf: Thank you. No i am not using zebra.
11:51 kf        if you have installed koha with zebra you need set up rebuild_zebra as cronjob for indexing
11:49 kf        zer0c00l: check the faq http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/searching/#16
11:47 kf        hi hdl and jwagner
11:44 zer0c00l  I just tried to add some records through http://intranet , but can't search them
11:43 zer0c00l  hdl, jwagner  Do i need to configure koha after successfully installing it?
11:43 zer0c00l  Hi jwagner
11:38 hdl       hi jwagner
11:38 jwagner   Morning, all
11:17 zer0c00l  any one out there?
10:45 zer0c00l  What is Marc tags ? Do i need to configure them and link them to database before adding books to koha?
10:43 zer0c00l  I am new to koha. I installed koha on windows following http://www.koha.rwjr.com/ . After adding couple of books through "Add biblio" link. I tired to search it. But the search is not showing added books. how to resolve?
10:19 smustafa  Thank you
10:19 smustafa  ok dear, I shall try
10:19 chris     thats just the config, and zebra files
10:18 smustafa  what about that code in /usr/share/??
10:18 chris     you can check that by looking at the koha-httpd.conf
10:18 chris     then its running the code from out of your clone
10:18 smustafa  I did do a [dev] install..
10:17 chris     not if you choose a dev install
10:17 chris     no it doesnt
10:17 smustafa  *sorry for my stupid questions....I was doing it all wrong for 1 year*....
10:17 smustafa  Because it seems it copies all the important files to /usr/share/koha after every make install....
10:17 smustafa  how do the changes apply on the site? I need to run perl MakeFile, then make, then test, then install again? after every change??
10:16 chris     change it in your git clone
10:14 smustafa  and change there??
10:14 smustafa  Now on to my next question.  I did a fresh install using the [dev] setup.  However now if I want to make changes lets say to any of the code...do I do it on the location of the git repostory clone, or go directly to /usr/share/koha
10:14 chris     if you want to upgrade to what will soon be 3.2 then yes
10:14 smustafa  now I understand.  The master/origin is good to go on
10:13 smustafa  oh I see...hmmm sorry.  My fault!
10:13 chris     not 3.0.1
10:13 chris     3.01.00.145
10:13 chris     see the dots there
10:13 smustafa  and this is the clone of origin/master
10:13 smustafa  That is why I said 3.0.1 :)
10:13 chris     yes
10:13 smustafa  We are upgrading from Koha 3.00.00.107 to 3.01.00.145, you must update your database
10:13 smustafa  on the web installer
10:13 smustafa  Chris, I get the following message
10:12 chris     its certainly not behind 3.0.x
10:12 chris     not 3.0.1
10:12 chris     master is at 3.1.x
10:12 kf        smustafa: I understand what you mean, but I don't know how it works :(
10:11 smustafa  so I think the master/origin is behind..
10:11 magnus    that sounds good to me
10:11 smustafa  Then I thought oh oh....I don't think I am getting the 3.0.6 changes, since the master is at 3.0.1 :)
10:11 smustafa  The reason I ask, is I made a branch that tracks the origion/master branch.
10:11 magnus    http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-checkout.html
10:11 magnus    and "check one out" with "git checkout name-of-branch"
10:10 smustafa  yes I do know that.  But when I start working....what branch should I be working on??
10:10 magnus    http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-branch.html
10:10 magnus    you can view them with "git branch -a"
10:09 magnus    smustafa: i'm no git expert, but i do know that all the branches are in the one repository
09:40 smustafa  I hope I am making some sort of sense :) *** Awaitng response....*
09:40 smustafa  Assuming I go for the 3.0.x branch..and remotly track that....What happens in the future when the HEAD becomes 3.2?? Does this 3.0.x branch disappear? and will I get disconnected and have to connect again to the HEAD and lose everything..
09:32 smustafa  I can't clone the main and the branch because I will get very confused and not know what to do...so one main repository is better...*New to git*
09:31 smustafa  I am confused....the branch seems at 3.0.1 at the moment, while the 3.0x is at 3.0.6..
09:31 smustafa  Using GIT of koha for the first time, and I need to know if I want to always be up to date...do I use the [origin/master] or [3.0.x] branch
09:30 smustafa  good day all,
09:20 magnus    g'day
09:11 chris     evening
05:36 kf        morning #koha
01:41 Kohan00b  Thanks wasabi, will try that
01:27 wasabi    but the 1st place to look is incorrect/partical $952 info in your source bibs
01:26 wasabi    well, theres actually a bunch of issues that can cause your import to fail...
01:24 wasabi    look at the 952 block in biblioitems.marcxml  and item record, an compare it to your imported ones.
01:23 wasabi    create a test bib, create an item for it.
01:22 wasabi    Kohan00b:  your mapping are prolly incorrect
01:18 Kohan00b  The MARC record in Koha contains the item level information but it is not listing it in Holdings. . . not sure why
01:17 Kohan00b  Using Koha 3.0 on Debian, I've migrated MARC records from Follett Circ+ to Koha.  I've used MarcEdit to change 852 field to 952 field but I'm still getting "No physical itmes for this record"
01:13 Kohan00b  Hello everyone.
