Time Nick Message 00:50 mtompset Greetings, #koha folk. 01:08 wajasu ok. got my kvm script to build debiansqueeze+koha, and now i did a git clone and am wiring up the environment, whilst reusing the PERL5LIB. My staf admin interface works fine. The opac complained about GetDailyQuote is not exported by the C4::Koha module. Maybe its just because I pulled from the master. 01:11 * mtompset shrugs, "I don't know." 01:17 wajasu i'll try an pull a stable release tag. 01:18 mtompset I would try to "grep -l GetDailyQuote `find .`" in your koha install. 01:19 mtompset And then figure out by looking at the code in the modules listed. 01:36 mtompset any success, wajasu? 01:43 wajasu running cpan to get two perl modules 01:44 mtompset which two? 01:44 wajasu DateTime::Format:MySQL and DateTime::TimeZone 01:45 mtompset Are you sure there isn't a package for the first one? 01:45 mtompset I did an install attempt under Ubuntu. 01:45 mtompset I did an "aptitude search datetime-format-mysql" 01:45 mtompset and it found it. 01:46 mtompset perhaps a similar search "aptitude search datetime-timezone" might find the second. 01:46 wajasu oh yeah. i forgot. i was literraly following INSTALL.debian (should have searched). 01:47 mtompset Don't worry about it. I've done that before too. :) 01:48 mtompset I did mention ubuntu expressly in a bug report I put up recently. 01:48 mtompset bug 8192 01:48 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8192 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Update libraries and Missing library in install_misc/ubuntu.packages 01:49 mtompset the missing library is the first one you mentioned: DateTime::Format::MySQL 01:52 wajasu "GetDailyQuote" is not exported by the C4::Koha module 01:52 wajasu Can't continue after import errors at /kohaclone/opac/opac-main.pl line 26 01:52 wajasu BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /kohaclone/opac/opac-main.pl line 26. 01:53 wajasu maybe i have the /etc/koha/apache2/apache-shared.conf not mapped correctly for opac 01:57 mtompset No, I don't think so. 01:58 wajasu i need to do Makefile.PL and follow the INSTALL.debian (got to get my KOHA_CONF and defined as well. 01:58 mtompset But this is probably a newer feature. 01:58 wajasu i've just done a git pull. and edited the apache stuff. 01:58 wajasu the staff interface worked. 01:58 mtompset Ah, so you haven't finished the setup steps... 01:59 mtompset Probably a good idea to finish them first before trying to debug. :) 02:00 wajasu yes. i will have to do this tomorrow with a fresh generated VM and follow the install steps. :) thx 02:02 mtompset What VM package are you using? 02:03 mtompset For my testing purposes, I have a windows box with VirtualBox running. 02:06 wajasu i wrote a shell script that i run that uses libvirt. it grabs the debian netinst iso, and a cdrom install using a debian preseeding file, which also installs koha-common, and configures its all. now I am adding a git dev environment to it for patches. libvirt will be able to generate qcow2, vmdk, lvm, kvm based images. 02:08 wajasu it only took 5 minutes to run in my /dev/shm /tmp directory. (really just waited while grabbing stuff from repos). its a good way to document what it takes. maybe it can be web hosted later and folks can generate different images. my host machine is archlinux. 02:16 Oak kia ora #koha 02:40 mtompset interesting.

If you can't see the syntax, you need glasses. :P 03:48 bencahill I'm sure there are a lot of other things I like in vim that vi doesn't have. Not that I'm saying vi by itself isn't awesome. ;) 03:49 * bencahill actually likes pretty colors, even though he does use a tiling wm with no window borders. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, eh? 03:50 bencahill But anyway, g'night...I'm just excited. :) 03:50 mtompset When I was in University, emacs was the rage. 03:50 mtompset Okay... have a good night, bencahill. :) 03:50 bencahill :) 05:29 mtompset @wunder EDI 05:29 huginn` mtompset: The current temperature in Dalgety Bay, United Kingdom is 10.7°C (6:15 AM BST on June 07, 2012).

I got wiki access today! 11:55 jcamins I think cait did the "jcamins is an outstanding cook," then various people added the other bits, and I revised it to use commas instead of ". or" a few months ago. 11:55 jcamins Yay! 11:56 mtompset I've already added a slew of discussion notes to the koha on ubuntu page. 11:57 mtompset I figured since I've never edited a page, I'll let someone else do that. 11:57 jcamins No, you should go ahead and edit the pages. :) 11:57 jcamins It's very easy. 11:57 mtompset I'm worried about busting ir. 11:57 mtompset it 11:57 jcamins You won't. 11:58 jcamins And, if you accidentally screw things up, the change can be reverted. 11:58 medmondson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Be_bold 11:58 jcamins Exactly. 11:59 mtompset I can't seem to get that link to work, medmondson. 12:00 mtompset Is there a back up somewhere? 12:02 jcamins mtompset: I will summarize: "Be bold and edit those wiki pages!: 12:02 jcamins *" 12:02 medmondson hmm I wonder what is wrong with that URL 12:02 jcamins It worked for me. 12:02 mtompset I get timeout errors. 12:02 medmondson well its a common wiki principle 12:02 medmondson be bold, revert is easy 12:03 medmondson the wikipedia URL is a bit too wikipedia specific anyhow 12:05 mtompset okay...

LaTeX isn't too bad. 13:42 * jcamins doesn't do TeX. 13:42 drojf a few years ago 13:42 mtompset I had bad experiences from the 90's. :P 13:43 drojf i bet word processors were even worse then :P 13:43 mtompset I'm sure GUI front-ends have improved. 13:43 mtompset Imagine having to deal with it in a text-only hand-code environment. 13:44 mtompset Unless you know it well, it's ugly. 13:44 mtompset Though, I'll still use it for generating PDF output. ;) 13:45 mtompset Back to wiki edit's before I lose them again. 13:45 jcamins Only seven bugs left to report and assign to myself. 13:47 mtompset isn't that a conflict of interest? ;) 13:48 jcamins mtompset: nah, it's a conflict of interest if I try to claim that my testing is sufficient to conclude that the fixes resolve the bugs. 13:49 clrh rfc++ for a start for documenting feature and test cases (before push) cc nengard 13:51 rangi favourite slide so far 13:51 eythian mtompset: I wrote it in vim, also not user friendly. 13:51 jcamins We report bugs/enhancements for things we're working on so that people know what's going on. 13:51 jcamins clrh: yes, I'll be posting the detailed RFC to the wiki. 13:51 talljoy these sci fi references are over my head rangi 13:51 eythian but both are very fast and efficient, which is what I cared about. 13:51 jcamins Ooh, sci fi references? :) 13:51 rangi thats boba fett, a bounty hunter :) 13:51 talljoy is that a dalek, starwars or startrek 13:51 rangi starwars 13:51 jcamins However, I use bug numbers for tracking. 13:51 talljoy lol...oh. i should have recognized from the boys lego sets. 13:52 cait heh 14:09 schuster What a day yesterday was I hope today will be more successful! In moving back to community things have been a little bumpy on our own. 14:09 schuster I've had issues mainly with the indexer sucking up disk space... But I did a test search in Staff and it works, but when I do a test search in Pac I get no items found. any suggestions? 14:09 jcamins faq? 14:09 wahanui rumour has it faq is found at http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/ 14:09 jcamins ^^ there is a question about that problem. :) 14:09 jcamins I think it's opachiddenitems. 14:09 cait schuster: which index tool are you using? 14:11 schuster zebra. 14:12 eythian or opacsuppresssomething 14:12 mtompset dalek is from Dr. Who, talljoy. 14:12 schuster When I look in the Koha_opac_error_log I see this - opac-search.pl: accept_language(x,y) called with no clientPreferences (x). at /home/koha/kohaclone//C4/Templates.pm line 331 14:13 mtompset I have a bunch of those flooding my logs too. 14:13 schuster something about language? but I see that double // in front of the C4 which makes me concerned. 14:13 jcamins schuster: you may need to clear your cookies. 14:13 schuster mmm chocolate ones... Ok will try. 14:13 mtompset Though, it's for the staff client. 14:14 schuster Why would you have those errors in koha-opac-error_log from staff client? 14:14 mtompset no, the accept_language(x,y) mess. 14:15 mtompset its in my koha-error_log 14:15 mtompset I remember tracing it down. 14:15 mtompset but I forget what it was. 14:15 mtompset too mant late nights. 14:15 wizzyrea patch or it didn't happen ;) 14:15 mtompset ^mant^many^ 14:20 jcamins Hm. I think I may add a "C & P Authorities Improvements" meta-bug. 14:22 schuster So I turned on the language piece in I8L or whatever that tab is and now get this error - opac-search.pl: Use of uninitialized value $lang in string eq at /home/koha/kohaclone//C4/Templates.pm line 336. 14:22 schuster But where do I select the language? 14:22 samuel hi everybody 14:24 mtompset What version are you running, Schuster? 14:24 wizzyrea hi samuel 14:24 wizzyrea the second question? 14:24 wahanui the second question is "What is the exact error message?" 14:24 wizzyrea the third question? 14:24 wahanui somebody said the third question was "What version of Koha are you using?" http://koha-community.org/faq/find-version-koha-running/ 14:25 schuster 3.06.05 14:25 mtompset the first question? 14:25 wahanui "What are you trying to do?" "What is the goal?" or "What problem are you experiencing?" 14:25 mtompset That's three questions. :P 14:25 eythian they have "or" 14:25 * wizzyrea waves at eythian 14:25 * wizzyrea grins 14:26 schuster 3.06.04.000 - actually 14:26 schuster Even though I downloaded from the website 3.06.05??? 14:26 jcamins schuster: 3.6.5 was up. 14:27 jcamins Still is. 14:27 jcamins Odd. 14:27 * jcamins will check what's in there. 14:28 wizzyrea perhaps bug 7874? 14:28 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7874 minor, P5 - low, ---, colin.campbell, Pushed to Stable , Templates::get_language generates lots of not defined warnings 14:29 jcamins It's 3.6.5. 14:33 wizzyrea the patch for that is in 3.6.5, but schuster says he has 3.6.4 14:33 wizzyrea or the version is reporting 3.6.4 14:33 schuster OK step back jcamins wins!!! Evidently in the upgrade it changed the default from Don't Hide to Hide! 14:34 schuster OpacSupression... 14:34 jcamins wizzyrea: no, I mean, the file labeled 3.6.5 is, in fact, 3.6.5. 14:34 schuster whew... 14:34 wizzyrea ! that doesn't seem right schuster. 14:34 jcamins So you might want to re-download 3.6.5, and upgrade to that right away. 14:34 schuster On May 25th I downloaded 3.6.5 from the website and what my about is saying I have 3.6.4 14:35 jcamins schuster: okay, that's weird... 14:35 wizzyrea link wrong maybe? 14:35 jcamins Yeah, I think so. 14:35 schuster OK - well I'm in the middle of my migration to community and have had a few headaches along the way... So I will "redownload" 3.6.5 soon once I can show it is up and running! 14:36 wizzyrea hm looks ok 14:37 wizzyrea i wonder if schuster downloaded it in that magic moment in between when the file was uploaded and the link was changed 14:37 schuster I downloaded the 3.06.05.tar.gz version. 14:37 wizzyrea i.e. coincidence of timing 14:37 jcamins wizzyrea: yeah, that would make sense. 14:37 schuster My luck of course... 14:37 wizzyrea do you still have the file? 14:37 schuster Ah let me look 14:40 schuster yes I do what do you want to know about it? 14:40 wizzyrea it says 3.06.05? 14:40 wizzyrea .tar.gz? 14:40 schuster yep - koha-3.06.05.tar.gz 14:41 wizzyrea ok that's odd 14:43 mtompset Why is that odd? 14:43 wizzyrea because his install reports it's 3.6.4 14:44 mtompset the unpacked directory and the installed directory aren't the same on a standard installation. 14:44 wizzyrea yes, thanks. I'm making some assumptions that the upgrade itself was completed correctly 14:45 jcamins mtompset: yeah, but if you installed from the 3.6.5 tgz, you should end up with the same version. 14:45 wizzyrea since he said he upgraded it 14:45 wizzyrea it could be that the upgrade itself wasn't completed correctly, and that's why there is a discrepancy 14:46 SJeffery Can anyone confirm that the 008 date fields are NOT used for a general search, but is used when performing an advanced search by date? 14:47 jcamins SJeffery: that is correct. 14:48 jcamins C4::Search-- 14:48 rangi jcamins: people are coming back in 14:49 jcamins Not long now. The recorded bit is about ten minutes, and then I'll call in for questions. 14:49 rangi so i think we will be starting in a few 14:50 clrh do you use the term "lis" for library and information science ? I was looking for a name for a twitter list for people related to ils libraries and job related 14:50 rangi yep, that seems to be the common one clrh 14:51 clrh great! 14:52 SJeffery Is there documentation on which MARC fields are searched by each search box/method? 14:52 jcamins SJeffery: there is an out of date table. 14:52 jcamins Somewhere... 14:52 SJeffery Out of date? *prods nicole* 14:52 jcamins http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/kohasearchindexes.html#id605897 14:53 jcamins See, what we really need is something that will automatically generate a listing. 14:53 jcamins That would be a prime example of something that the GRS-1 configuration files do not lend themselves to. 14:53 jcamins DOM, on the other hand, will make that easy. 14:53 mtompset Actually, would the install/upgrade fail if there were missing dependencies? 14:55 schuster I would swear it gave me the report that 3.6.5 was complete, but it is working and I need it "semi" stable before I do ANYTHING to it again... It has been a rough 3 days. 14:56 mtompset I'm curious as to the output of ./koha_perl_deps.pl -m 14:56 jcamins mtompset: nope. 14:56 eythian jcamins: you're almost on :) 14:57 jcamins Yay! 14:57 mtompset AS opposed to being off. ;) 14:57 jcamins I should warn you there are about two and a half seconds of silence at the beginning of the presentation. 14:58 jcamins I couldn't tell if it was recording. 14:58 pastebot "samuel" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "ldap, problems of mapping" (25 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/436 14:59 jcamins I also apologize if I talked too fast. 15:00 eythian jcamins: slef says thanks for that, it lets him move the video on the screen 15:00 eythian also that your slides will probably get changed at all the wrong moments :) 15:00 jcamins eythian: that's okay. 15:01 mtompset Well, I'm off. Sounds like I'll miss some fun. 15:02 cait jcamins: you are being announced now 15:02 * mtompset waves bye. 15:02 cait *applause* 15:03 eythian huh, so that's what jcamins looks like... 15:03 cait video is on 15:03 * eythian should pay attention to this 15:03 eythian given I'm always asking about it 15:04 drojf now that i know how to do it i get several presentations about it 15:04 drojf :P 15:04 * chris_n cheers jcamins 15:04 SJeffery Is there a live stream of this anywhere? 15:04 * cait cheers too 15:05 drojf SJeffery: don't think so 15:05 jcamins SJeffery: there is not. However, my presentation is easy to see. 15:05 drojf you will be able to download it later i guess 15:05 cait SJeffery: I think the recordings will be available after the conference 15:05 jcamins I'm e-mailing you the links. 15:05 rangi its going well 15:06 jcamins I kept it very short since I'm about the last presentation on the last day. I figure I can answer as many questions as people have, but I didn't want to push it. 15:07 jcamins SJeffery: I just sent you the links to my presentation, which actually comes in two parts thanks to my impatience with video editing. 15:08 jcamins I think the MPG should play fine with Windows Media Player. 15:10 SJeffery Works:) 15:10 jcamins Errr, it sounds like some of the middle slides are missing. 15:10 jcamins Sorry about that. 15:10 jcamins I think the missing ones were mostly charts of things to think about. 15:10 jcamins I'll upload those a bit later. 15:11 mbalmer re-ola 15:12 * SJeffery just noticed that secontrolnumber is off....that explains a few things 15:12 cait *applause* 15:12 cait time for questions 15:12 * jcamins dials in. 15:16 rangi thanks jcamins 15:16 rangi that was really good 15:16 jcamins My pleasure. 15:16 david_ *virtual applause* 15:16 marcelr jcamins++ 15:16 cait yep it was 15:16 eythian jcamins: I hope you'll like your video and slides from the wiki 15:16 cait jcamins++ 15:16 eythian it'd be handy to send to people asking about it 15:16 eythian *link 15:16 jcamins eythian: yeah. 15:17 jcamins I had some issues with transcoding, so I didn't manage to upload the files to their final resting place yet. 15:17 eythian ah right 15:18 jcamins tajoli++ # for sending me a copy of his presentation. 15:19 paul_p drupal-opac URL = http://drupal.org/node/1570804 15:20 cait debian packages? 15:20 wahanui debian packages are at debian.koha-community.org 15:20 cait packages? 15:20 wahanui somebody said packages was at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian 15:23 jcamins Bug 8212 15:23 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8212 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, ASSIGNED , Omnibus bug report for C & P authority developments 15:24 talljoy1 jcamins. good presentation. I liked the funny pause in the middle. And no worries, we heard every word. ;-) 15:25 jcamins talljoy1: I realized after getting through the first part that I wasn't actually sure if I'd managed to record it. 15:25 jcamins So I stopped it to check. 15:25 jcamins Then I couldn't figure out how to resume recording. 15:26 jcamins So I just started a new clip. 15:26 talljoy1 whatever works, right? 15:31 rangi cait: https://launchpad.net/~chris-bigballofwax/+archive/3.8.x-dailybuild 15:31 cait thx 15:32 * jcamins munches on a couple of German biscotti. 15:34 * talljoy1 looks for biscotti <.< >.> 15:36 jcamins clrh: around? 15:36 marcelr 1,5m before me; listening :-) 15:37 clrh jcamins: yep! 15:37 jcamins marcelr: oh, I thought I was the very last presentation. Guess I got confused. 15:38 jcamins clrh: I wanted to let you know that as part of bug 7417 and bug 8211 I'll be doing more clean up of C4::Search, moving things over to Koha::Search::Engine. 15:38 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7417 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, NEW , Include alternate forms from authorities in bibliographic searches 15:38 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8211 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, ASSIGNED , Add "subject (broader)," "subject (narrower)," and "subject (related)" options for search 15:38 jcamins Oops, need to adjust 7417 to ASSIGNED. 15:38 clrh jcamins: great, I have to share last works we done with you and others at hackfest 15:39 mbalmer biblibre++ for the Drupal module! 15:39 clrh juste "moving" can be not suffisant 15:39 clrh suffisant = enougth(sorry) 15:40 jcamins clrh: sufficient is an English word too. :) 15:40 jcamins clrh: I'm not *just* moving. 15:40 clrh :) 15:40 jcamins In order to move code to Koha::Search, it has to be cleaned up a lot, or it won't work in its new home. 15:41 clrh jcamins: ++ 15:41 clrh clean clean ;) 15:41 jcamins I am not entirely rewriting C4::Search, but better to have somewhat icky (but not as icky as what we have now!) code in Koha:: and the ability to introduce solr, than wait until someone has the time to entirely rewrite the Zebra interface. 15:43 clrh ô icky new word for me :) 15:44 wizzyrea so when you need to explain the internet to people, you can use this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=WwyJGzZmBe8 15:44 jcamins clrh: disgusting/ugly/bad. 15:44 clrh yep I saw 15:45 clrh but why cleaning it into Koha:: and not C4:: for the moment? 15:45 eythian http://www.amazon.com/Story-About-Ping-Marjorie-Flack/dp/0140502416 <-- wizzyrea, also this book 15:45 wizzyrea :P 15:46 jcamins clrh: because we want to separate the code. 15:46 marcelr kohacon12 closed 15:47 rangi now we have to figure out what we are doing tonight 15:47 jcamins clrh: we could create a C4::Search::Engine* but that would just make things even messier, and wouldn't reduce circular dependencies. 15:47 wizzyrea pubs! 15:47 mbalmer pubs 15:47 mbalmer more pubs 15:47 wizzyrea maybe some pubs. 15:48 clrh yes but if you write into Koha:: you/we will maybe have to rewrite it 15:48 jcamins clrh: if I write into C4, it'll still have to be rewritten. 15:49 SJeffery jcamins: Very nice presentation 15:49 jcamins clrh: my goal is to have things work, improve the quality of the code, and get solr into 3.12, if not 3.10. 15:49 jcamins SJeffery: thanks. 15:49 jcamins clrh: I have funding to do some work now. I think it's better to do it right from the start. 15:49 jcamins If we use C4::Search::Engine, that means we'll have to use C4::Search. 15:50 jcamins Which means that we will have to load the entire C4:: menagerie every time we want to do a search. 15:51 jcamins I'd rather clean up some code as part of this project, but if you're planning on doing all the refactoring, I can leave it as it is in C4. ;) 15:52 jcamins (I mean, not you personally, that would be too much... just if you had a plan for it all) 15:53 Joubu Drink for me at pubs ! 15:53 Joubu bye 15:55 jcamins Enjoy the pubbing. :) 15:59 hdl1 jcamins: any RFC link for C&P devs ? 16:02 jcamins hdl1: not yet. I'll be sending them out shortly. 16:02 jcamins Well, probably tomorrow. 16:02 clrh (sorry jcamins I am talking with Stefano) 16:03 jcamins clrh: no problem. :) 16:17 clrh ok jcamins I read 16:17 clrh I will share you the result of hackfest :) 16:17 clrh we will drink and eat and 16:17 clrh have a good evening 16:18 jcamins ENjoy. 16:18 jcamins *Enjoy 16:43 slef ta jcamins_away 16:50 Morthland Is there a way to add a font to the patron card creator? 16:58 SJeffery Did anyone ever get around to arrange a Koha users gathering at ALA? 17:04 slef SJeffery: is ALA now? 17:05 SJeffery It starts about the 21st 17:08 rangi Thanks slef 17:12 slef rangi: np. did you want the o2 leaflet too? 17:13 slef rangi: lucky you stuck it to something with your number on ;) 17:13 rangi Yeah! 17:13 slef SJeffery: ah then I've not seen nothing yet 17:23 mle back to teviot soon. anupne there? 17:23 mle slef where are you at? ia anyone about 17:32 SJeffery Maybe we could get one of the vendors to organize it? *prods bywater* 17:51 slef mle: soory no... doctors may contain nuts 17:53 slef SJeffery: I think we distracted bywater with kohacon12. Try asking NateC when he says hi or use @later tell NateC whatever 17:53 slef SJeffery: why don't the users organise users meetups? 17:54 * slef is ignorant co-op worker 17:54 SJeffery For the usual reason: lack of time/ability/desire to organize it :) 17:55 slef sooo if there is not enough desire, why would a vendor...? 17:55 wizzyrea if you have no desire to organize it why would anyone attend? 17:56 SJeffery On the part of the individual, not the collective group...someone always has to spend the time 17:56 slef so club together, hire a vendor to organise it? 17:57 slef else you all just pay more for them to gamble 17:57 slef and get less say about the meeting 17:57 * wizzyrea is not going to ALA this year 17:58 SJeffery I can put something together in the next few days...probably something along the lines of "get together this or that room/location and chat about Koha" 17:58 slef but I don't know... all these library confs seem like they overcharge vendors who then just overcharge libraries... 17:58 SJeffery so true 17:58 * wizzyrea would probably find a restaurant and enjoy talking about koha with food and booze. 17:58 slef ah so is there no charge from ALA for the meetup? 17:58 mle anyone still in town? 17:59 SJeffery IIRC ala is something like $10k/booth 17:59 slef mle: probably 17:59 wizzyrea slef: not if you do the meetup in the hallway track :P 17:59 SJeffery Right, I was thinking something informal to just allow people to get together and hang out 17:59 * mle wonders where 17:59 wahanui wonders is it is too early on Sunday for Koha db questions? lol 18:00 slef I have rangi's number but I'm sure he is doing a beer tour starting at the beehive (?) 1930 and they maxed out the number of free places 18:00 mle slef ty for taking the eusa laptop 18:01 * mle goes home 18:01 slef mle: tried the doctors? 18:01 slef I think the hard part is in town AND online 18:02 slef wahanui: it is far too early on Sunday 18:02 wahanui ...but it is confusing for someone to be working on a bug and the assignee field is either wrong or blank... 18:02 wizzyrea forget it 18:02 wahanui wizzyrea: I forgot it 18:02 slef wahanui: I don't care! 18:02 wahanui slef: sorry... 18:02 slef wizzyrea: you brain surgeon you 18:03 bag yup ALA charges if you want a meeting room 18:03 bag I won't be attending ALA.. 18:03 bag The best way is to have a meetup at a pub ;) 18:03 slef mle: soooo... I suggested the koha vendors needed to merge or form a cartel... and they laughed at me :/ 18:05 bag There is some money left over from Kudos conference - That vtl was thinking about using to have a little get together (but I don't know the status of that) 18:05 bag schuster may have a better idea on that too 18:05 slef bag: and then you have to charge libraries more and then libraries have to cut costs and close branches and fire librarians... and who is ALA meant to be helping exactly? 18:05 mle just laughed or did you manage to ellicita reason? 18:05 bag I agree slef 18:05 bag seems to be helping themselves (ALA that is) 18:05 slef mle: just laughed at that bit... but we got reactions later 18:13 slef bag: librarians, please take control of your association? 18:13 bag PLEASE 18:14 slef it's very tempting to say that loudly... but also damaging to one's own business :( 18:14 mle slef it needs to be said/suggested in a low threatening manner 18:15 slef mle: yeah I'm as subtle as a molotov 18:15 bag I don't totally agree… we're not like other vendors - librarians are the star… ALA was great to attend when I worked the circ desk, etc… 18:15 bag but now you've summed it up well… more librarian control ;) 18:16 mle bag: ok how to get there? 18:16 slef I guess there are pro managers at ALA 18:17 bag ALA has pro managers (field officers I think they are called)…. Most of the round tables and actual talks/programs are mostly librarian run.. 18:17 bag BUT ALA does have a bottomline number they need to keep up ;) 18:18 wizzyrea I'm sure running the conference itself isn't cheap. 18:18 slef wizzyrea: who knows? Do ALA members see the conference budget afterwards? 18:18 slef or any summary of it, more likely 18:19 slef you don't need to know that someone paid £10 for a last-minute box of paperclips because they were lost in transit 18:20 wizzyrea don't get me wrong I'm not defending it 18:20 mle i reckon we could do a green version in a big tent and make it fun, green and cheap. 18:20 slef you do need to know how much the conference is taking out of libraries 18:20 slef mle: kohacon 2022? 18:20 mle no silly hotel costs 18:21 slef mle: silly heater costs? Have you seen the weather outside? 18:21 * slef waits for the gag about slef and hot air... 18:21 mle http://www.greenandaway.org/page.cfm?pageid=ga-home 18:22 * slef is happily disappointed 18:22 jwagner slef, wait for it.... 18:22 slef so who runs ALA? Librarians or officers? 18:23 mle i met investment banker who was raving about a connference he went to at green and awY. he had never slept i a tent before 18:23 slef yeah not sure I have since I was 7... I should not be so negative 18:24 mle quote they even had shpwers in a tent. 18:24 mle anyhow... bbl 18:24 wizzyrea http://www.ala.org/aboutala/missionhistory/history 18:24 slef tata 18:25 wizzyrea haha 18:25 wizzyrea The aim of the Association, in that resolution, was "to enable librarians to do their present work more easily and at less expense." 18:25 wizzyrea ohh kayyy 18:25 slef is that glamping 18:25 slef wizzyrea: yeah and in reality? ;) 18:25 mleaway uberglamping 18:25 wizzyrea "to give librarians a chance to look and feel important in the presence of their peers?" 18:25 slef wizzyrea: I can point to co-ops that say one thing and maybe do another 18:26 * wizzyrea is a terrible cynic 18:26 wizzyrea anyway bye ;) 18:26 slef ok ttfn wizzyrea 20:03 wajasu when doing a git dev install, for v3.08.01 i get DateTime::TimeZone 1.26 module required, and I have 1.20. What is the best what to get the 1.26 version? cpan? or deb pkg from? 20:09 wajasu i did a git -b my381 v3.08.01 to hopefully be alligned with debian squeeze. i already have the koha-common pkg installed. 20:10 libsysguy how did you install it the first time wajasu? 20:15 wajasu i build a virgin debian vm. i installed apt-get install koha-common and editing and things worked. now i did a git clone, and want to do perl Makefile.PL 20:16 wajasu makefile.PL reports that I need 1.26. I used the debian netinst ISO. 20:18 wajasu should i had the debian wheezy repo and do apt-cache libdatetime-perl then apt-get install libdatetime-perl=1.26 (or 1.46)? 20:19 wajasu or should i add the squeeze-dev repo? 20:20 wajasu squuze-dev is technically pre wheezy i think. 20:20 wizzyrea you can't apt-get install libdatetime-timezone-perl 20:21 wizzyrea oh nm you said it's got a version mismatch 20:21 wajasu yeah 20:26 wajasu i just wonder what repo has version 1.26 and why my git -b my381 v3.08.01 working branch requires it to build. 20:26 dpavlin I'm running on squeeze using DateTime::TimeZone 1.20 20:27 wizzyrea yea, same 20:27 wizzyrea typo maybe? 20:27 dpavlin http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/DROLSKY/DateTime-TimeZone-1.46/Changes doesn't list anything which I should be warried about between 1.20 and 1.26 ;-) 20:32 dpavlin It's hard to say. Dependecy was introduced in Bug 5549 together with bunch of others... 20:32 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5549 enhancement, P1 - high, ---, chris, Pushed to Stable , Hourly Loans 20:33 * dpavlin hm! It seems that commit message (which I got using git blame C4/Installer/PerlDependencies.pm) references wrong bug... 20:35 dpavlin Anyhow, I would probably decreate version to 1.20 to make squeeze happy (see git show c82d114f) 20:35 dpavlin s/decreate/decrease/ 20:35 wajasu i'll go that route. 20:39 wizzyrea imagemagick? 20:39 wizzyrea graphicsmagick? 20:39 wahanui graphicsmagick is, like, avaliable in package form for the following Operating Systems: Version 1.1.11 in Lenny, 1.3.12 in Squeeze, 1.3.5 in Sid and Ubuntu Lucid. Regarding the update message, all Koha functions still work even if you only have Version 1.1.11 20:39 wizzyrea see, there's a version mismatch here too, but everything still works 20:39 wizzyrea and there was a bit of an outrage over lowering the versoin. 20:39 wizzyrea version. 20:39 wahanui hmmm... version is wrong 20:39 wizzyrea forget version 20:39 wahanui wizzyrea: I forgot version 20:40 schuster I have a question about zebraindexing... I've been doing some work with it now for 3 days and realized today that it was spinning a bunch of lines as it "sort/merges" 20:40 pastebot "schuster" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Is this indicitive of a memory type leak?" (17 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/437 20:41 schuster I think last night when it died I thought it was disc space, but I was only at 80% - today in watching this I had a TON of these lines... 20:42 schuster I'm on Version 3.06.04 ... 20:51 dpavlin schuster: do you have anything useful in /var/log/koha/*/zebra-error.log ? 21:03 schuster let me check 21:05 schuster nothing but "stopping" messages which would be normal. 21:06 dpavlin strange. kill all processes and hope that you won't run out of disk space again. zebra does need quite a bit of space to do full reindex... 21:06 dpavlin and once it dies it can produce a lot of hanging processes since we run incremental update via cron. 21:07 schuster the koha-zebradaemon-output.log has 109661 lines of warn ir_session (exception) 21:08 schuster I thought originally it was disk, but then today I saw all of these "Zebra" fatal messages when I did ps -ef pages among pages as noted in the paste... 21:09 schuster Luckily my index of 277,000 bibs actually completed today so we can move forward with community otherwise my tail was on the line and my boss was ready to.... 21:09 schuster I didn't have problems with this during my testing on 3.06.00.14... 3.06.05 has been my nemisis so far but we LOVE the features. 21:11 wizzyrea schuster did you turn off the zebraqueue cron when you did your indexing? 21:12 wizzyrea maybe the extras are your backed up zebraqueue cronjobs 21:16 schuster No I didn't so ??? maybe... The install instructions though don't say anything about that and what was in the list are like 5-10 every minute. 21:29 wajasu has anyone seen this before after perl makefile.PL, make,make test, make install, then /etc/init.d.apache2 restart --> 21:29 wajasu apache2: Syntax error on line 230 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 32 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/koha: E 21:29 wajasu xpected </cql2rpn>/root/koha-dev/etc/zebradb/pqf.properties</cql2rpn> but saw </server> 21:37 mgeist Whoot! quitting time. Cyall on the morrow. 21:45 wajasu my bad i symbolicly linked the wrong file. koha-conf.xml instead of koha-httpd.conf 21:45 wajasu tab completion was not my friend that time 21:48 slef ah so? 21:48 wahanui rumour has it ah so is there no charge from ALA for the meetup 21:57 wajasu ok. my git env is setup using /root/koha-dev and /root/kohaclone but i get forbidden! You don't have permission to access / on this server 21:57 slef wajasu: check your apache configs, particularly <Directory ...> sections. You may find it easier to try again in /home somewhere. 21:58 wajasu ok 21:58 slef many webserver setups are cautious about serving from /root or /etc or /usr because they often contain sensitive files 21:58 slef you can reconfigure it, but maybe it is a bad idea... 22:00 wajasu just as quick to start again. should i be running as a " koha" user account? or such? thats what might be missing from the INSTALL instructions. 22:01 slef well some user not used for another purpose, I think 22:02 slef you may be right that INSTALL assumes people create a new login for a new web app... not strictly necessary but maybe a good idea 22:03 wajasu i always used to get in trouble with perms and zebra. we will see this time around. 22:05 slef oh that is easily done... not too hard to fix with some chown commands... or make much worse 22:05 slef is there a reason you are not installing the koha-common*deb packages? 22:07 wajasu i did successfully with a noninteractive shell script that builds a kvm image. no i am adding git dev support for patch support. 22:07 wajasu s/no/now/ 22:08 slef oh right 22:09 wajasu i'm trying to align with the apache-shared stuff. (i.e. reuse the mysql/apache stuff. 22:16 atmanning can anyone point me to a faq or instructions about why I see zero items added when I import MARC records? Here's my output: Number of records added 973 Number of records updated 0 Number of records ignored 0 Number of items added 0 Number of items ignored because of duplicate barcode 0 22:16 atmanning this is a fresh install on Debian squeeze, Koha v 3.8 (koha-commons via apt-get) 22:17 wajasu have you run the zebra indexer? 22:17 atmanning I thought the import was supposed to add the items... does this mean my imported marc records are showing zero items? 22:17 wajasu or if its in cron, wait until it runs? 22:18 atmanning where is the indexer found? 22:18 atmanning nothing found under /var/spool/cron/crontab 22:19 wajasu there is a section in INSTALL.debian than mentions how to set it up. 22:20 atmanning i followed this guide: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.8_on_Debian_Squeeze where do I find those install instructions? 22:20 wajasu did you install koha-common or koha? 22:21 atmanning koha-common per the wiki instructions 22:21 slef blurgh, I must sleep soon, but where did the MARC records come from and do they have 952 tags? 22:22 atmanning pulled them out of a working Winnebago library system. I don't have a clue about the tags. I saw some things about a MARC editor that I suppose I could read through - I'd be happy with a mysql query to update an item count somewhere... 22:23 slef yeah you probably need to make the Koha holdings tags 22:23 atmanning did a MARC export of 900 records 22:23 slef there is a sort-of standard for holdings info in tag 852 but I think it is deprecated and koha uses tag 952 anyway 22:24 slef let me get you the layout of tag 952... then I must sleep 22:24 slef @marc 952 22:24 wahanui The 952 field is used by Koha to store item data in MARC21 and is described at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Holdings_data_fields_%289xx%29 22:24 huginn` slef: unknown tag 952 22:24 atmanning I'd like to try that zebra index thing... looking for it in /usr/share/koha/bin/?? 22:25 wajasu i wrote a program way back, that added one item per in the 952 prior to import, as well as set other things. 22:25 slef and I am sorry but it is not as simple as a mysql query... you need items added through the Koha API somehow... and updating the MARC before import is probably the simplest 22:26 slef (I think adding an item updates 2 or maybe more tables, plus gets sent to the zebra indexing server) 22:26 atmanning I was afraid of that... I think I found the index thing under migration tools --- that seems like an illogical place if it supposed to run all the time 22:27 slef there is an inglorious historical reason for it... but I think it is in the INSTALL instructions 22:27 atmanning I still haven't found those instructions.... grrr... 22:28 slef errr 22:28 slef did you install from the debian package or the tar.gz? 22:28 mtj atmanning: ./INSTALL.debian 22:29 mtj atmanning: cron files are in /etc/cron.d 22:29 atmanning debian package via apt-get koha-commons ... looking for those crons... 22:30 mtj cat /etc/cron.d/koha-common 22:31 slef if it is the debian package, it will (should) do the INSTALL steps for you 22:31 mtj $ dpkg -L koha-common | grep cron.d 22:32 atmanning those crons are there.... I'll check for logs next - thanks for the help... gotta go eat before I starve to death 22:33 mtj $ koha-rebuild-zebra your-koha 22:35 atmanning what's the best way to confirm whether items have been added to my catalog? 22:36 slef is the problem lack of items or lack of all search resutls? 22:36 slef look up something with an item available in the catalogue? 22:37 atmanning grr.. did a report on catalog statistics - zero items.... I think I'll go back to the MARC records and check that 952 field 22:38 atmanning lack of items and lack of search results too... the koha-rebuild-zebra script didn't complain 22:40 * slef falls asleep...bbl 22:44 mtj atmanning: theres 2 basic parts to your problem... 22:44 mtj 1) is your zebrasrv process running? 22:44 mtj 2) did your zebraidx work successfully? 22:46 mtj well, and a 3rd part too... 22:47 mtj 3) did your marc records import successfully 22:47 mtj . 22:48 atmanning yes, yes, and yes but Marc results (above) show all processed but no items added - I manually added items but I would rather set the item count to 1 on all records for the import 22:49 mtj ... if your marc records didnt import ok, then the searching or indexing of those non-existent records wont work, either :) 22:49 atmanning It looks like I have to find a way to edit the MARC redords and put a 1 in the 952 tag somehow... 22:50 mtj your winnebago marc records dont yet contain the needed $952 item-level fields, for koha 22:51 mtj yes, you need to create correct $952 info for your records *before* import into Koha 22:51 atmanning that sounds right ... I was hoping the import would set the item count to 1 .. 22:52 atmanning now to figure out how to batch modify my marc export file... any pointers? 22:53 mtj nope, Koha will not auto-magically create items for your itemless marc records 22:53 atmanning looks like I'll have to figure out how to get the marc edit to do a search and insert 22:54 mtj i use perl for that task , some people use a win32 app called marc-edit 22:55 jcamins_away atmanning: koha-rebuild-zebra will only complain if the records are corrupted, and it takes talent to import corrupt records. 22:55 wajasu i wrote a program in java to do this for me. i also had isbn records in my legacy library db, and queried a list of z3950 servers to get more biblio info. i'm going to have to contrib that one day. 22:56 wajasu it took two days to query servers for just 1500 records, since the servers seemed throttled ;) 22:57 wajasu i mean 15000 records. 22:58 wajasu what about bulkmarcimport.pl 22:58 mtj youknow... a really nice project would be marc2koha.pl script - that converted many other ILS marc records to koha's $952 format 22:59 mtj $ marc2koha.pl --source-format=winnebago --input=winny.mrc --output=koha.mrc 23:00 mtj $ marc2koha.pl --source-format=dynix --input=winny.mrc --output=koha.mrc 23:00 mtj etc... 23:01 jcamins_away druthb's migration toolbox? 23:01 jcamins_away druthb's migration toolbox is amazing 23:01 jcamins_away druthb's migration toolbox is also https://www.gitorious.org/koha-toolbox/ 23:01 wahanui okay, jcamins_away. 23:02 jcamins_away druthb's migration toolbox? 23:02 wahanui druthb's migration toolbox is, like, amazing or https://www.gitorious.org/koha-toolbox/ 23:03 wajasu yeah. i coded it in java 3 years ago. it read all the records into a hsql database, and allowed sql queries and matched to z3950 servers, and other smarts like utf8 normalization. 23:03 wajasu good to know there is another solution 23:05 mtj jcamins_away: nice! 23:06 mtompset Hello, #koha. :) 23:10 mtj catalyst's csv2marc.pl would be a great start, then add some feature to create a new mapping via a yaml file? 23:11 jcamins_away mtj: I prefer druthb's scripts... they're a lot more flexible. 23:11 mtj $ marc2koha.pl --mapping-file=dynix.yaml --input=dynix.mrc --output=koha.mrc 23:13 mtompset What's being discussed? 23:21 mtj jcamins_away: more flexible than the csv2marc.pl script...? 23:22 jcamins_away mtj: that's what I find, yeah. 23:22 mtj see - a general koha2marc.pl script would help newcomers to koha solve a big problem.... 23:23 jcamins_away mtj: agreed. 23:23 mtj (as atmanning has just demonstrated to us) 23:23 jcamins_away mtj: I was thinking maybe we should be able to import using the CSV profiles feature. 23:23 mtj hmm, what is that? 23:23 wahanui well, that is maybe broken 23:24 mtompset wahanui forget that 23:24 wahanui mtompset: I forgot that 23:24 jcamins_away CSV profiles? Look in the administration section. 23:31 mtj ah, gotcha :) 23:34 mtj atmanning: can you paste a winnebago marc record please? -> http://paste.koha-community.org/ 23:57 jcamins_away cait-m_! What are you doing up?!?
