02:50 eythian              is it weird that in aqbooksellers, listprice and invoiceprice both are keyed to the "currency" table, but the "currency" field itself isn't?
02:52 rangi                yes
04:28 eythian              the way vendor details are stored is wrong :(
04:28 eythian              they include the ^M character, and if that's not there, they don't edit right.
04:29 eythian              and in no circumstances do they display with correct linebreaks.

05:16 Shum                 I need some help in KOHA
05:16 Shum                 to understand it
05:16 Oak                  ask?
05:16 wahanui              Don't ask to ask, just ask.
05:17 Shum                 I want to implment it and I am not getting how it works
05:18 Shum                 and how should I start with , What features I can implment
05:19 rangi                Manual?
05:19 wahanui              Manual is at http://www.koha-community.org/documentation
05:28 Shum                 I havegone throught it But I am still unable to understand its implmentation
05:41 rangi                Not sure what else to suggest then I am afraid
05:45 Shum                 :(
05:46 rangi                Packages?
05:46 wahanui              i guess Packages is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
05:55 Shum                 Can you tell me any LIVE example of KOHA implementation
05:55 Shum                 ?
06:01 * magnuse            waves
06:02 rangi                There are links to demo sites on the koha-community.org site
06:02 Shum                 I have seen them
06:02 Shum                 as well
06:02 rangi                If you've seen everything then there's nothing more we can do

06:10 mib_e5aaer           KOHa works in TAGS ?
06:10 mib_e5aaer           Does KOHa works with tags ?
06:10 mib_e5aaer           :)
06:11 Shum                 Does KOHA work with tags language
06:11 Shum                 ?
06:12 rangi                It works with ukranian language
06:13 rangi                And you can tag things in the opac if you have that preference on

06:49 mtompset             I was playing around in help today. It told me I couldn't edit the help.
06:50 mtompset             I felt quite sad. :( -- Of course, there are a couple ways to give permissions, and I was wondering what the suggested way of doing it is.
06:50 mtompset             clearly giving writing permissions to everyone is just wrong.
06:51 mtompset             I was thinking of changing the group for the help files, and giving write permissions to the group.
06:53 mtompset             I was thinking perhaps of changing the ownership of the help files. No chmod needed.

08:03 Herwig               Morning all
08:04 kf                   hi Herwig
08:26 Herwig               anny one here has seen the following before 12:20:07-17/10 zebraidx(18235) [fatal] Could not select database biblios errCode=109  zebra did run before but for some reason not annymore
08:36 kf                   Sorry, I am not sure where to start looking here
08:36 kf                   didit ever work? what version and kind of install did youdo?
08:37 mtompset             Greetings, kf, rangi, francharb, paul_p, Herwig.
08:39 Herwig               it runs on ubuntu and 3.8 koha it did work before ... i did do a batch import of data (maybe i did do that wrong still searching how and what)
08:42 Herwig               this is what i got on the screan http://users.telenet.be/webwijzer/koha/kohazebra.txt
08:43 kf                   12:20:06-17/10 zebraidx(18233) [warn] zebra_lock_create fail fname=/var/lock/koha/ze                                   bradb/biblios/norm..LCK [Permission denied] 12:20:06-17/10 zebraidx(18233) [warn] zebra_lock_create fail fname=/var/lock/koha/ze                                   bradb/biblios/shadow..LCK [Permission denied]
08:43 kf                   you got a permission problem here
08:44 kf                   you should run the jobs for zebra with you koha user
08:44 kf                   and all zebra files should be owned by the koha user
08:44 Herwig               aha
08:44 kf                   or you will get problems
08:44 Herwig               :OP
08:44 kf                   so maybe that's the cause :)
08:53 Herwig               oh its that ... thx ... 1 stepp closer to victory ... :) (a few steps to go but before i post more questions i gonna experiment some more :) thx already)
08:53 kf                   :)
08:54 kf                   happy I was able to help
08:57 mtompset             Hmmm... permissions problems usually accompany a tarball installation. :(

09:11 gerundio             hey, back in LDAP auth
09:11 gerundio             does anyone have any idea why authentication via shell works
09:11 gerundio             but on the opac form doesn't?
09:12 kf                   gerundio: what are you trying to do?
09:12 gerundio             LDAP auth
09:12 gerundio             following some hints from jcamins_away here and some other docs in bywatersolutions blog
09:13 gerundio             I edit koha/lib/C4/Auth_with_ldap.pm to adjust the bind process to our LDAP server settings
09:13 gerundio             http://bywatersolutions.com/2012/07/09/koha-ldap/
09:14 gerundio             search for the word "developer" in that blog post
09:15 gerundio             and in this one: http://bywatersolutions.com/2011/09/08/how-ldap-connections-work-in-koha-3-4/
09:15 gerundio             search for "quick testing"
09:15 gerundio             the quick test works on the terminal and a borrower entry is successfully created in the DB
09:16 gerundio             if I login via OPAC form it doesn't, I just get the regular "You entered an incorrect username or password. Please try again! And remember, usernames and passwords are case sensitive." message
09:16 gerundio             any ideas anyone?
09:25 drojf                good day #koha
09:26 Herwig               i had the same problem  had to make a kohaadmin user before it workek sec i copy the text for you
09:31 Herwig               gerundio here is my info (i am on ubuntu so maybe its not 100 percent the same but its a start) http://users.telenet.be/webwijzer/koha/kohapass.pdf the red remarks is what i did
09:39 mtompset             So, Herwig... you did a tarball install?
09:39 mtompset             Because you wouldn't have to do that if you were using packages.
09:40 mtompset             gerundio: So your staff client works, but your OPAC doesn't?
09:41 mtompset             (for logging in)
09:42 mtompset             Because Herwig, I would recommend installing using packages. The latest and greatest Ubuntu instructions (with links to the Debian one which is considered canonical) is found at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages
10:14 Herwig               ok my next installment i will do (sorry was away someone had a problem)
10:41 mtompset             not a problem. I was just away too, Herwig. :)
10:41 gerundio             Herwig, sorry I went away for a while
10:41 gerundio             I just saw your answer to my problem 1 hour ago regarding LDAP
10:42 gerundio             the URL you sent me deals with kohaadmin user
10:42 gerundio             I don't have problems with that :)
10:55 gerundio             kf, are your still around?
11:02 kf                   yes, but not sure I can help
11:02 kf                   I have never worked with ldap or other authentication systems
11:05 drojf                hi kf :)
11:06 mtompset             Greetings, drojf.
11:07 drojf                hey mtompset
11:07 wahanui              mtompset is disliking the silent warnings flooding his error logs.
11:07 mtompset             That is very true in the last couple of days.
11:07 drojf                heh
11:08 mtompset             Some are easy to fix... other's ... will require thinking about the logic to make sure the patch is right.
11:08 gerundio             ok kf, thanks anyway
11:09 gerundio             I haven't found anyone here who's worked with LDAP auth
11:11 drojf                gerundio: maybe try the mailinglist?
11:11 kf                   gerundio: there are people, probably only not here right nwo
11:11 kf                   the mailing list is a good idea
11:13 gerundio             I've googled a lot and found some topics from the mailing lists
11:13 gerundio             but not really helpful :|
11:14 kf                   you should mail the list yourself :)
11:31 drojf                dear raspberry pi reseller, please confirm my order that i placed 11 hours ago. i'm not a man of patience.
11:32 gerundio             I just read something disturbing in bywatersolutions facebook notes regarding LDAP auth: https://www.facebook.com/notes/bywater-solutions/how-ldap-connections-work-in-koha-34/10150321097398209
11:32 gerundio             For auth-by-bind connections (include Microsoft Active Directory), you’ll need this information: Your patrons will need to be loaded from CSV using the Bulk Patron Import tool in Koha. Userid will need to be populated with the LDAP user login you wish them to use, but password can remain blank (or a default password can be added)
11:34 drojf                what exactly is the disturbing part?
11:34 * drojf              has no idea of LDAP
11:34 gerundio             this means that I'll have to import the user records 1st in order do use LDAP with bind
11:34 gerundio             for authentication
11:35 drojf                i see
11:36 gerundio             this doesn't make much sense
11:36 drojf                one thing: that fb post is 13 months old. koha evolves all the time, it is not guaranteed that this information is still up-to-date.
11:37 gerundio             well, I was able to login sucessfully using the "quick testing of the LDAP connection on the command line"
11:37 gerundio             which created the borrower record in the DB
11:38 gerundio             logging in the OPAC form works only after that record is created
11:38 gerundio             if I try to login for the 1st time via OPAC the record is not created and I just get the login error message
11:38 gerundio             got to go now, luch time
11:39 gerundio             be back later to see if I can make something out of it
11:39 gerundio             thanks anyway drojf
11:39 drojf                does that sound like what you want?  "For some ldap setups there is a different sequence for authentication that koha doesn't account for.  The steps are:  1) Bind with a service account 2) Search for user entered 3) Bind as user if found"
11:40 drojf                no i think its something different. sorry

12:53 jcamins              Hehe.
12:54 jcamins              True.
12:55 liw                  it's so practical that release managers have a dedicated tool just for them, "git rm"
12:55 jcamins              liw: that's a very good point.
12:57 paul_p               good morning americaners.
12:57 paul_p               jcamins have you found a binder full of women this morning ? :D :D

12:59 oleonard             paul_p: Our politics is nothing if not entertaining :|
12:59 jcamins              paul_p: I'm going to have to read a summary of the debate, aren't I?
12:59 paul_p               oleonard yes, I know
13:00 paul_p               oleonard = you know what sounds the most strange to frenchies ? spending $$$$$$ in TV ads. In France, it's strictly forbidden, and no candidate to president elections can spend more than €8 million (I haven't made any mistyping)
13:01 oleonard             Well, your free speech is obviously much suppressed ;)
13:01 paul_p               8M, is probably what your candidates spent every day... I mean here it's the amount for the whole campaign !
13:02 drojf                there is a nice new rap news episode about the elections too https://www.youtube.com/embed/WpMPu5p_QXU
13:02 paul_p               + since 10 years or so, it's also forbidden for a company to fund a political campaign
13:02 drojf                or about the debate rather
13:02 drojf                as an ignorant european, i believe this is everything i need to know about it

13:36 mtompset             (as per enhancement 7849 since 3.8.1)
13:36 jcamins              Unless you're using the cron job.
13:37 mtompset             What's the default set up for packages?
13:39 jcamins              It's set by sysprefs.
13:39 jcamins              The default is not to charge fines at a ll.
13:39 jcamins              *all
13:39 jcamins              I think, anyway.
13:40 jcamins              The fines are recorded, of course, but no notices go out.
13:40 mtompset             I was noting that there is a fine.pl in /etc/cron.daily
13:40 mtompset             I was noting that there is a fine.pl in /etc/cron.daily/koha-common
13:40 jcamins              Yes, that calculates the fines nightly.
13:41 mtompset             what time does cron.daily run at?
13:41 jcamins              No idea.
13:41 jcamins              3am, maybe?
13:41 jcamins              I'm sure you could find out somewhere.
13:42 * jcamins            doesn't generally worry much about cron.
13:43 mtompset             The /etc/crontab file says. :)
13:49 gerundio             drojf, back
13:49 gerundio             just read you comment regaring the ldap auth topic 2 hours ago
13:50 gerundio             what you described is the scenario I'm implementing yes
13:50 gerundio             1) bind anonymously 2) search for the user 3) bind as the user if found
13:51 gerundio             did you saw any reference to that?
13:54 drojf                gerundio: yes, on the bug tracker
13:55 drojf                http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7973
13:55 huginn               04Bug 7973: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, In Discussion , Allow for new type of LDAP authentication
13:57 drojf                gerundio: maybe libsysguy can tell you more about it
13:58 gerundio             ok, I'm watching that patch diff
13:58 gerundio             I've done that myself... so I'm just comparing to see if my code matches that one
13:58 * libsysguy          perks up
13:59 libsysguy            actually Dobrica was right
14:00 libsysguy            it should have been more general
14:00 gerundio             my changes to the code are a little different, but the result is the same
14:01 gerundio             libsysguy, with this method does the borrowers table record get created upon sucessfull login?
14:01 gerundio             with replicate set to 1 of course
14:01 libsysguy            yes it does
14:02 libsysguy            but really, it needs tweaked.  I am tempted to take down that patch to remove confusion
14:04 libsysguy            I don't really have the setup to test it anymore
14:05 mtompset             Why not finish the patch? ;)
14:05 mtompset             Ah.
14:05 libsysguy            I read your mind mtompset
14:05 libsysguy            :p
14:05 mtompset             Yes, yes you did.
14:06 mtompset             This is the sort of thing I'd like to get set up when I get back to Canada... so many fun Koha related things to play with, but fiscal realities suck. :(
14:06 libsysguy            indeed they do
14:07 gerundio             I have the setup and can assist you guys
14:07 gerundio             my problem know is that the DB record isn't being created upon the 1st login atempt in OPAC
14:08 gerundio             if I use the "/path/to/files/opac/opac-user.pl userid=your_test_ID password=test_user_password > junk.txt" method to test the login
14:08 gerundio             the record gets created
14:08 gerundio             any idea why this might be happening?
14:09 libsysguy            so you are saying with current master code its not working?
14:10 gerundio             I patched the "/path/to/files/lib/C4/Auth_with_ldap.pm" perl module
14:10 gerundio             so I could do that 3 step bind
14:11 libsysguy            bind search bind?
14:11 gerundio             on my terminal I can log in fine, on OPAC not really
14:11 gerundio             yes, bind search bind
14:11 gerundio             I don't see any errors in the logs
14:11 gerundio             but maybe because they're not being thrown there
14:11 libsysguy            hmm well the replicate function shouldn't be touched with any code to modify koha to do the 3 step bind
14:12 gerundio             how can I increase the debug level to see what goes wrong with OPAC login?
14:12 gerundio             I didn't touch it
14:12 libsysguy            you can throw your own with "print STDERR 'some error';"
14:13 gerundio             got to tell you, I'm not very handy with perl
14:13 libsysguy            heh
14:13 gerundio             but this last few days patching this file already got me into it :)
14:14 libsysguy            so basically ignore the debug level in the Auth_with_ldap.pm file
14:14 libsysguy            you won't get far
14:14 libsysguy            i feel like that poor file has been ostracized by everyone
14:15 libsysguy            im trying to think about the easiest way to get you what you need
14:17 libsysguy            If you don't care about local changes I would just change the code in the else statement
14:17 libsysguy            if you do you are going to have to modify my patch a bit
14:18 gerundio             so, if I understood your patch correctly you added a 3rd auth method - a 2nd ldap bind method - right?
14:19 libsysguy            correct
14:20 libsysguy            it added that 3 step bind method
14:21 gerundio             so you also added a new entry in the koha-conf.xml file, correct?
14:21 drojfx               +1 for editing libsysguy's patch and giving back the changes to the community. will make your updates much easier and make you "that LDAP guy" for testing too ;)
14:21 gerundio             "bind_with_service"
14:22 libsysguy            correct
14:23 libsysguy            and yes you can have the title of "that LDAP guy"...
14:23 gerundio             lolol
14:23 gerundio             not sure I can handle it
14:23 gerundio             I'm just a middle man
14:23 libsysguy            please…take it
14:23 libsysguy            p
14:23 gerundio             my knowledge of LDAP and Koha are very limited
14:24 gerundio             I'll be happy to contribute the patch
14:24 libsysguy            practice makes perfect hehe
14:24 gerundio             :)
14:24 libsysguy            if you want to test mine and see if it works I'd welcome it
14:24 oleonard             "bind_with_service?" Sounds like something out of a S&M/LDAP crossover bestseller
14:25 libsysguy            heh oleonard
14:25 libsysguy            and now I can never think about ldap binds again
14:25 gerundio             I was about to ask why "bind_with_service", but seems oleonard already shed some light on the subject :p
14:25 libsysguy            without thinking about S&M lol
14:25 gerundio             but why bind_with_service?
14:26 libsysguy            well I wanted it to be bind with service account
14:26 libsysguy            the first step in th3 3 step bind
14:26 gerundio             ok
14:26 libsysguy            but in hindsight 3StepBind might have been a better choice
14:26 libsysguy            what can I say, I was young and experimenting
14:26 gerundio             to revoke oleonard's argument we can call it "auth_by_bind_search_bind" :D
14:27 gerundio             unless he can find some sort on S&M connection there too
14:27 libsysguy            oleonard can find S&M in anything
14:27 libsysguy            he is an active member of the community :p
14:28 libsysguy            oops
14:28 libsysguy            s/the/this/
14:28 gerundio             btw, from what I could figure out, this 3 step bind method
14:28 jcamins              gerundio: sounds like an LDAP/Tolkien crossover.
14:28 gerundio             use LDAP's DN (distinguishedName) for the bind
14:28 gerundio             so we could call it auth_by_dn_bind
14:28 gerundio             better?
14:29 libsysguy            better
14:29 libsysguy            if we did what the last comment suggested we could define whatever attrib we wanted
14:30 gerundio             let me ask the LDAP guru around here :)
14:33 libsysguy            here or there?
14:34 gerundio             my LDAP guru :D
14:34 gerundio             done and back
14:34 gerundio             we just need to fix that auth_by_bind method there
14:34 gerundio             we don't need to add auth_by_dn_bind... since the bind is always done via DN
14:35 gerundio             the problem there is that whoever wrote that code assumed that DN = username
14:35 gerundio             when in reality that doesn't occur
14:35 gerundio             DN can be anything really, being LDAP a tree, the DN is simply the key to each tree node
14:36 gerundio             which for some people can be the username, but for most people I'm guessing it's not
14:36 gerundio             was my argument clear enough?
14:37 libsysguy            yeah when I wrote that patch it was definitely for out ldap setup which was shotty at best
14:37 libsysguy            so I would welcome you fixing it :)

14:43 jcamins              Hm. that should be two dashes, not an em dash.
14:44 rambutan             may be causing people problems. I had my tech assistant working on setting up a backup server, and he wasn't getting the command right
14:44 * oleonard           also hates it when Wordpress replaces regular double quotes with "smart quotes" in code snippets
14:44 rambutan             I looked at it, and immediately knew, although it didn't appear so, that there was a double dash in front of "full", but even if you cut and paste from the web page
14:45 liw                  you could replace `...` with $(...)
14:45 * jcamins            doesn't know how to edit that page.
14:45 rambutan             into a text editor you may not get it--kate mangles it into something
14:45 jcamins              liw: Wordpress is mangling the double dash, too.
14:45 rambutan             and the "back tics" are not obvious either. I thing there was a chat discussion w/ wizzy way back in February about this.
14:46 rambutan             anyway, I think it would be helpfult to add those comments to that page
14:46 liw                  jcamins, bad wordpress, bad, bad, bad :)
14:46 * liw                is biased
14:46 libsysguy            oleonard I have a quick question about addbiblio.tt
14:46 jcamins              liw: run away, libsysguy. Run far away, and never return to addbiblio.tt.
14:46 jcamins              Sorry, that was for libsysguy.
14:47 libsysguy            heh
14:47 libsysguy            I just want to sort the fields
14:47 gerundio             libsysguy, I'll submit a revision to your patch
14:47 libsysguy            sweet, thanks gerundio
14:47 * libsysguy          washes hands of it :p
14:47 jcamins              libsysguy: sort the fields?
14:47 gerundio             how can I get a user account in the bug tracker?
14:48 libsysguy            yeah so right now you can sort the subfields with the arrows
14:48 jcamins              liw: I don't suppose you were involved with lxc at all?
14:48 libsysguy            but if you have multiple say 600 fields
14:48 jcamins              gerundio: just create a new account.
14:48 gerundio             got it
14:48 libsysguy            I might like to sort those too
14:48 jcamins              libsysguy: good luck.
14:48 gerundio             just saw it in the homepage
14:49 jcamins              That is much needed, of course.
14:50 libsysguy            b-b-but jcamins I wanted to use http://jqueryui.com/sortable/#connect-lists-through-tabs
14:50 libsysguy            :p
14:51 jcamins              libsysguy: I think using jqueryui would be a great idea. You'll need to start over from scratch, though.
14:51 jcamins              The existing javascript is much too brittle.
14:51 oleonard             libsysguy: If your question to me is, "Do you mind if I jump into a pit of snakes with not even Karen Allen to help me" of course the answer is yes.
14:52 libsysguy            great...
14:52 libsysguy            well my deadline is 3.12
14:52 * libsysguy          cracks knuckles
14:53 jcamins              You could start with chris_n's work.
14:53 gerundio             libsysguy, quick question
14:53 libsysguy            sure gerundio
14:53 libsysguy            jcamins is that on github?
14:53 gerundio             the "principal_name" setting in the koha-conf.xml should be changed
14:54 libsysguy            that was there before my time
14:54 oleonard             What is chris_n's work jcamins?
14:54 jcamins              libsysguy: oleonard: https://github.com/cnighswonger/koha-wip/tree/marc_editor
14:54 gerundio             it should be replaced with a new setting where we would define the search filter
14:54 libsysguy            gerundio if you change that you could have a whole bunch of pissed off libraries
14:55 libsysguy            okay but remember you have to preserve existing functionality
14:55 libsysguy            so you'd have to write something to make the old stuff owrk
14:55 libsysguy            work*
14:55 gerundio             ok, thus my question :D
14:55 libsysguy            or leave it
14:55 libsysguy            ah
14:56 libsysguy            so there is a nice catch tothis
14:56 libsysguy            if you update the field in koha-conf.xml
14:56 gerundio             even if the old stuff is not coded correctly?
14:56 gerundio             this was developed under a wrong assumption
14:56 gerundio             how can we correct that now?
14:57 libsysguy            I would start by making the assumption that it is working
14:57 libsysguy            and you would like to further generalize it
14:57 libsysguy            rather than its not working and we should fix it
14:57 jcamins              ^^ this is a good plan. Anything not backwards compatible will not be accepted.
14:57 libsysguy            I know of several libraries that are using the LDAP code successfully
14:57 libsysguy            unmodified
14:58 gerundio             legacy code's a bitch :D
14:58 libsysguy            heh indeed but we don't want to end up like ruby on rails
14:58 gerundio             I bet they are, their DN must be something like uid@library.domain
14:59 jcamins              libsysguy: I guess we know who is going to be QAing this code. :P
14:59 libsysguy            heh yes the harshest QAA here
15:00 libsysguy            so gerundio yes typically the DN is the same as the sAMAccountname
15:04 gerundio             ok, so legacy code it is
15:04 gerundio             I'll do it by adding 2 more settings to the koha-conf.xml file
15:04 gerundio             "auth_by_dn_bind" and "filter"
15:05 jcamins              paul_p: just FYI, caching and Plack don't work together.
15:05 paul_p               jcamins really ? memcaching you mean ?
15:05 libsysguy            gerundio are you moving principal_name to auth_by_dn_bind
15:05 jcamins              Koha::Cache.
15:05 jcamins              You had me change it to use environment variables.
15:06 gerundio             libsysguy, no... I'm adding auth_by_dn_bind and filter
15:06 libsysguy            okay just making sure
15:06 gerundio             auth_by_bind and principal_name will still be there
15:06 paul_p               yikes. What do you mean by "don't work" ? nasty error, or just no caching ?
15:06 jcamins              paul_p: no caching at all.
15:06 jcamins              At least, that's what it seems like to me.
15:06 gerundio             so basically people will be using a combination of those 2
15:07 paul_p               jcamins jcamins = that may explain why my tests show no measurable perf improvements... I concluded it was "because memcache is not about speed, it's about charge"
15:07 paul_p               once again, it's 5PM here, and I haven't started to push a patch :((((
15:07 jcamins              paul_p: well, that's true, too.
15:08 paul_p               same as yesterday, same as monday :(
15:08 * paul_p             head to push patches...
15:09 jcamins              paul_p: to summarize, though, using environment variables precludes persistent environments without a great deal of creativity.
15:09 jcamins              So far as I can tell.
15:10 paul_p               jcamins (not sure I've understood)
15:10 jcamins              paul_p: as far as I can tell, since the environment variables weren't set when Plack was started, caching is disabled, permanently.
15:11 paul_p               the plack.psgi can include them, isn't it ?
15:12 jcamins              I am not sure.
15:12 jcamins              Figuring that out is on my to-do list.
15:13 paul_p               jcamins http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7844 could help !
15:13 huginn               04Bug 7844: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, dpavlin, Needs Signoff , plack scripts for developers
15:14 jcamins              Interesting. Those scripts are different than the ones in his git repo.
15:14 jcamins              paul_p: FYI, this is what I'm using: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Plack#Another_option_using_Starman_and_nginx
15:15 reiveune             bye
15:23 libsysguy            so while pushing my calendar work to github I am realizing just how large Koha is
15:24 libsysguy            or perhaps just how slow my upload speed is
15:25 jcamins              libsysguy: both.
15:26 libsysguy            200 KiB/s
15:26 mtompset             Have a good day (24 hour period), everyone.
15:26 libsysguy            looks like its going to be a solid 200 Mb
15:34 jcamins              liw: did I ask you yet if you were involved in the creation of lxc?
15:34 liw                  jcamins, I don't think you did; I wasn't
15:35 jcamins              Aww.
15:35 jcamins              I was hoping you could tell me how to use lxc for testing installation.
15:35 jcamins              (of Koha)
15:35 jcamins              (automatically)
15:36 kf                   bye all
15:43 gerundio             libsysguy, need your help
15:43 libsysguy            sup
15:44 gerundio             see the 1st line inside the ldap_entry_2_hash function
15:44 gerundio             my $userldapentry = shift;
15:44 libsysguy            ye
15:44 gerundio             what is that suppose to do? :)
15:44 libsysguy            yeah*
15:44 libsysguy            that is taking an argument
15:44 libsysguy            so it wants you to pass it a variable
15:44 gerundio             ok
15:44 gerundio             so its just picking the 1st passed argument
15:45 libsysguy            correct
15:45 gerundio             I see the function call now
15:45 gerundio             thanks
15:45 libsysguy            so if there was another shift it would take a second argument
15:53 oleonard             Hi francharb, juan_sieira
15:54 juan_sieira          hi Owen¡
15:54 gerundio             libsysguy, I'm getting the following error "Can't call method "exists" on an undefined value at " in the following line
15:54 gerundio             $userldapentry->exists('uid');  # This is bad, but required!  By side-effect, this initializes the attrs hash.
15:55 gerundio             I'm debugging this and still haven't come up with any idea why this is happening
15:55 gerundio             but I already like that comment :D
15:56 jcamins              gerundio: as you can see, we do not subscribe to the "no side effects" rule of programming. ;)
16:01 libsysguy            so basically its saying that uid doesn't exist in your ldap tree
16:01 libsysguy            sorry I stepped away
16:02 gerundio             that's my concern yeah :D
16:02 libsysguy            you could try replacing exists with defined but I don't know the implications of that
16:02 gerundio             but uid exists
16:02 gerundio             I just have to make sure it's being returned in the LDAP search
16:03 gerundio             which I thought I already did
16:06 jcamins              I figured it out!
16:06 jcamins              I'll transfer the files I'm interested in via http.
16:06 jcamins              Have nginx serve ~/releases over the bridge adapter only.
16:09 * tcohen             is really happy tuning his fresh new laptop: 4'' from grub to login manager :-D

16:19 jcamins              Wow.
16:19 jcamins              Downloading Koha's dependences at 500kbps takes 5 minutes.
16:20 jcamins              Hm. apt-get told me it was downloading 88MB, but I don't think that math adds up right.
16:20 oleonard             Hi cait! You just missed kf. She was here earlier.
16:20 cait                 oh no
16:20 cait                 I always miss her
16:21 cait                 wonder when we will finally meet
16:21 jcamins              Right, there's the multiarch issue that was reported on the mailing list.
16:27 * jcamins            works around it, creatively.
16:32 jcamins              tcohen: you set up an apt proxy, didn't you? Which one did you use?
16:46 * drojf              is slightly puzzled by the job description request on the list
16:46 drojf                how would i know what they are looking for?
16:47 oleonard             They're asking what qualifications you would ask for if you wanted to hire someone to help develop Koha
16:48 cait                 h
16:48 cait                 m
16:48 cait                 aren't they a bywater library?
16:48 drojf                ok. but doesn't that still depend on what they are looking for? "developing koha" is a broad field
16:49 cait                 I gues there are some basic general skills
16:49 cait                 but sharing the direction they want development done woul dmaybe help
16:49 drojf                ok. "know perl" :)
16:49 drojf                but also maybe know javascript or jquery or html or css or ldap :P
16:52 drojf                d'oh
16:52 slef                 sql
16:53 drojf                oh that too
16:53 slef                 MARC and z3950
16:53 drojf                basically not a student if you want all of that ;)
16:53 slef                 nah, some of that will be OK, then they learn the rest on the job
16:54 slef                 but basically some data-mangling experience is very handy
16:54 slef                 and often sadly lacking in computer scientists
16:59 jcamins              slef: ditto common sense.
16:59 * oleonard           adds "Not afraid of snakes"
17:01 slef                 jcamins: ah, beware there. Common sense is often not common.
17:01 slef                 jcamins: I had a luuuuuuurvley former colleague who would claim all sorts of craziness was "just common sense", refuse to justify it and be offended that anyone disagrees.
17:01 jcamins              slef: I meant "common sense is often sadly lacking."
17:02 slef                 jcamins: I mean "not common" in the sense(!) that two people may have very different ideas of what is common sense
17:02 jcamins              lol
17:04 dcook                Morning #koha!
17:05 oleonard             dcook, regarding Bug 8585 I think it's customary to obsolete patches after they've been pushed to master if a follow-up was added
17:05 huginn               04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8585 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, dcook, Pushed to Master , Add System Preference to specify Holds to Pull List Start Date
17:05 dcook                Now that you mention it, that does sound vaguely familiar
17:05 dcook                Why is that?
17:05 jcamins              dcook: so that people don't spend time trying to apply a patch that is no longer relevant.
17:06 jcamins              tcohen: are you using apt-cache, apt-cacher-ng, or squid-deb-proxy?
17:06 dcook                Mmm, I think I follow you, jcamins
17:07 tcohen               jcamins, we have an official mirror here
17:07 dcook                So a RM would cherrypick it from master and anyone else wanting to backport it would need to do the same?
17:07 tcohen               used apt-mirror before
17:07 jcamins              dcook: right.
17:08 dcook                Cool. Thanks, jcamins and oleonard.
17:08 oleonard             dcook: And since it's not a bug fix it probably won't be.
17:08 jcamins              tcohen: hm. I don't think that will help with lxc.
17:09 tcohen               jcamins, what r u trying to do?
17:10 jcamins              tcohen: I'm setting up Koha installation testing using lxc.
17:11 dcook                oleonard: good point. It seems like patches that insert new system preferences get difficult to apply anyway. I'm probably the only person who would use this enhancement ahead of it going into a stable release.
17:11 tcohen               looks nice
17:12 slef                 groan... does exchange usually blackhole emails with unknown From lines?
17:13 jcamins              slef: that sounds probable.
17:13 slef                 jcamins: if so, that's so stupid I don't know where to start with it.
17:13 * oleonard           can't imagine slef willingly getting within 10 feet of Exchange
17:13 slef                 oleonard: I didn't know it was there until I switched TLS on and the certificate mentioned Exchange...
17:14 slef                 ...rather than the host I was expecting.
17:14 jcamins              slef: see exhibit A: my absolute refusal to work with Exchange.

17:36 libsysguy            oleonard have all the jqueryui libraries been pushed to master?
17:36 oleonard             No
17:37 libsysguy            is there a bug to do that?
17:37 oleonard             No.
17:38 libsysguy            so we're still holding to the integrate them one at a time
17:38 oleonard             I don't think we need to.
17:40 libsysguy            what do you mean oleonard?
17:41 oleonard             I don't think we need to integrate them one at a time, if someone wants to submit a patch adding the rest. I assumed that the next patch which required an additional library would add the rest too
17:41 libsysguy            heh I was waiting on somebody else to do it
17:42 libsysguy            I was going to try and implement sortable for addbiblio.pl
17:42 libsysguy            and get rid of the up arrow functions
17:42 jcamins              libsysguy: sortable is already included.
17:42 libsysguy            0_0
17:42 oleonard             There you go
17:42 * libsysguy          missed it
17:42 jcamins              You missed it?
17:42 libsysguy            I just scrolled through that js file
17:42 jcamins              My beautiful Did you mean? configuration page was missed!?!
17:43 libsysguy            uh oh

17:52 libsysguy            jcamins you weren't kidding when you said addbiblio.pl was a mess
17:52 Shane-S              where is the due date setting or what is it called, I search for due date and overdue and get setting but no time frame like "1 week" "4 days" etc when I search admin pref.
17:53 Shane-S              I did find allow staff to set due date, would that be the field?
17:53 libsysguy            first question?
17:53 wahanui              "What are you trying to do?"  "What is the goal?" or "What problem are you experiencing?"
17:54 cait                 second question?
17:54 wahanui              i guess second question is "What is the exact error message?"
17:54 Shane-S              I found it, I had no circulation rule
17:54 jcamins              9libsI warned you.

17:55 libsysguy            it looks like the last time it was touched was when javascript was written :p
17:59 Shane-S              what library standard does Koha use so I person sending me a disk on books could send me in the right format?
17:59 Shane-S              IE. I used to say Follett to the vendor
17:59 jcamins              Shane-S: MARC21.
18:00 Shane-S              ty
18:05 Shane-S              based on dewi decimal is there an easy way to search between fiction and non fiction?
18:06 Shane-S              or even if there isn't a way, I am thinking we need a custom field to do that, but figured you all may have a simple way.
18:07 jcamins              Shane-S: use collection codes or item types.
18:07 jcamins              Custom fields are ALWAYS a TERRIBLE idea.
18:07 Shane-S              okay thanks

18:23 Shane-S              i think i missed something in Koha, can users by default settings self checkout books online?
18:24 Shane-S              I am seeing many overdue books via circulation, and one is from a staff member who I know hasn't been in to physically check out books
18:24 Shane-S              side question: anyone know how to make a barcode scanner beep as it inputs?
18:25 slef                 Shane-S: that's an option on some scanners.
18:25 slef                 Shane-S: looking in the device's manual?
18:26 * slef               wonders where his scanners went in the move
18:26 cait                 ^^ that
18:26 cait                 manual :)
18:28 Shane-S              slef: sadly the software made the beep for ours, its from follet, I think the "line return" made the beep
18:29 slef                 Shane-S: is it USB?
18:29 Shane-S              yeah
18:29 Shane-S              with an adpater it is, has a wired square-ish end
18:29 Shane-S              the plugs into a white USB adapter
18:30 slef                 Shane-S: I think you could run a program that peeked at whatever is the right /dev/input/event* and beeped whenever it saw an end of line, but I've never done that and I'm also not sure how you'd make sure it saw everything before the buffer got emptied.
18:32 Shane-S              okay, I didn't know if there is a simple way to be like play sound when keyboard device X ...hoped windows had a simple way
18:32 Shane-S              I will look into getting a better on, as it would be nice to have the trigger work too, this one is always on
18:32 slef                 oh it's windows?
18:33 slef                 Ignore what I said about /dev/input/event*

19:41 libsysguy            oleonard you still around?
19:41 oleonard             Yes
19:41 libsysguy            I have never seen a selector like this in jquery
19:41 libsysguy            $( "ul:first li", $tabs )
19:41 libsysguy            do you know what it does?
19:42 oleonard             "$tabs" is the scope of the selector
19:42 libsysguy            ahh
19:42 oleonard             jQuery will not look outside of $tabs for "ul:first li"
19:42 libsysguy            well that makes sense
19:42 libsysguy            well how clever is that
19:42 oleonard             Yeah, I'm sure I under-use it, but it's supposed to make your code run faster since jQuery doesn't have to check everything
19:43 libsysguy            i noticed it on one of the jqueryui examples
19:43 libsysguy            and there wasn't a direct reference in the api
19:43 libsysguy            err, I didn't see one

19:50 libsysguy            also, the underlying issue I was having was droppable isn't in the jquery-ui file
19:50 libsysguy            but in hindsight I probably didn't need it
19:52 libsysguy            I can't see any librarians needing to drap and drop fields between marc fields
19:53 oleonard             Is jsicot's tweet about a mobile app?
20:03 rangi                probably, i mean, we havent reached 30 different ones yet
20:03 rangi                may as well keep doing our own silos

20:14 oleonard             New mobile app, no public repo. :(
20:14 oleonard             Because that would be too good to be true, wouldn't it?

20:24 * rangi              deletes that mail unread
20:24 jcamins              rangi: the tone was slightly better than usual, so I answered.
20:24 libsysguy            how was that working jcamins
20:24 rangi                cool
20:25 jcamins              libsysguy: it's working well, but it requires that you, you know, have a public git repo on your development box.
20:26 libsysguy            oh man I don't know if I can handle that
20:27 * jcamins            hasn't yet set up the git hooks to automatically force-push everything to github, gitorious, and bitbucket.
20:27 libsysguy            you run all 3?!
20:27 jcamins              Not yet.
20:27 jcamins              No git hook.
20:27 libsysguy            oh but bucket is atlassian right?
20:28 jcamins              Yeah. It's good to have a fifth line of backups.
20:28 libsysguy            heh
20:28 libsysguy            I like that it has built in code review
20:28 * jcamins            has never used it.
20:29 libsysguy            you know, if we worked together as a company :p
20:29 libsysguy            i guess the RM could review all code
20:29 jcamins              libsysguy: are you implying we shouldn't be developing mobile interfaces in secret?
20:29 libsysguy            I'm implying we shouldn't be developing anything in secret
20:30 libsysguy            because you end up with 2+ people having the same idea and going about it 30+ ways :p
20:30 rangi                i just stick with gitorious mainly (and our catalyst git server of course), for the obvious reasons
20:32 libsysguy            i like github
20:32 libsysguy            they have always treated my code right
20:32 libsysguy            plus I've always found gitoroius a tad slow
20:32 * rangi              hasnt noticed that
20:33 rangi                course even if i did, id still use it, again for the obvious reasons :)
20:33 libsysguy            do you run your own server or use theirs
20:33 rangi                i push to theirs for my koha repos

21:23 rangi                no worries
21:25 jcamins              Have I mentioned recently how much I hate dealing with fork?
21:27 jcamins              All I want is to daemonize the container process after I've gotten the name of the container it creates.
21:27 magnuse              yeah, knife and spoon are so much better!
21:27 eythian              it's all knifey spoony eh
21:27 eythian              damn you magnuse :)
21:27 magnuse              moahaha
21:27 magnuse              and with that, i bid you all a good night or other time of the day
21:27 rangi                cya magnuse
21:30 jcamins              I don't get this.
21:31 jcamins              Why do I have to explicitly close the file handle?
21:31 eythian              bye magnuse
21:31 jcamins              When run interactively, lxc-start-ephemeral -d returns all by itself.
21:35 jcamins              How do I check if a string has non-zero length?
21:36 eythian              in what language?
21:36 jcamins              eythian: Perl.
21:36 eythian              length($string) > 0
21:36 jcamins              Thanks.
21:36 eythian              also, if you're dealing with forking, I use Proc::Daemon
21:37 jcamins              Right, that didn't work.
21:38 eythian              https://gitorious.org/hashigo-zake-app/hashigo-zake-app/blobs/master/server/hz_data_updater#line160 <-- that's how I do it
21:39 eythian              (using the old API as it needs to run on Perl 5.8
21:39 eythian              )
21:39 jcamins              Sadly it's not my program that's supposed to run in daemon mode.
21:39 eythian              ah right
21:41 jcamins              Right, I'm just going to do this wrong.
21:42 * jcamins            tries to find the wrong way to do this.
21:47 jcamins              Yay! It worked!
21:48 jcamins              And as long as it doesn't report that it's running when it isn't, it even saves the entire error log.
21:48 jcamins              Sort of.
21:49 eythian              cool :)
21:51 jcamins              Hey... I bet I could use expect with ssh.
21:51 jcamins              I bet Perl even has an expect module.
21:51 eythian              I think it does
21:51 eythian              It's called Perl ;)
21:51 eythian              (but I think there's a real one too)
21:52 jcamins              eythian: I don't know how to use Expect, so if there's a built-in way to easily do interactive sessions, I'll use that instead.
21:52 jcamins              Wait.
21:52 jcamins              Net::SSH
21:52 jcamins              There has to be such a thing.
21:53 eythian              there is, though it's called Net::SSH just to be tricky :)
21:53 jcamins              Net::SSH::Perl.
21:54 jcamins              Ah, there's even a Net::SSH package.
21:56 jcamins              Net::SSH::Perl is much nicer.
22:01 jcamins              Net::SSH2 will do, I think.
22:37 eythian              http://trypaper.com/ <-- could be interesting for libraries that send postal notices for things like overdues
22:54 jcamins              Alas, Net::SSH2 does not work.
22:54 jcamins              There's no way to capture exit status.
22:56 eythian              that'd be annoying
22:58 jcamins              CPAN it is.
23:08 santy_               hello, does anyone know if the zebra indexer works incrementally?
23:08 eythian              it does.
23:09 santy_               so, everytime a record changes zebra indexes just that record
23:10 eythian              yep.
23:10 santy_               and that indexing is issued by koha update routines or by zebra itself?
23:11 jcamins              Good grief.
23:11 eythian              It's done by a cron job that exports the data and gets zebra to index it (simply)
23:11 jcamins              SSH + Perl = WORST COMBINATION EVER
23:11 eythian              heh
23:14 santy_               so, if I manually change, say, a biblio record (not through the koha interface) that record will get incrementally indexed on the next cron job
23:14 jcamins              No.
23:14 jcamins              You must use the Koha interface.
23:15 santy_               aha, ok
23:15 jcamins              Well, you must use the Koha libraries.
23:15 jcamins              Interface is optional.
23:15 santy_               ok... the api, right?
23:15 jcamins              Right. Net::OpenSSH wins.
23:15 jcamins              I can install it.
23:15 jcamins              Yes.
23:15 eythian              santy_: no, koha makes a note that the record has changed
23:16 santy_               tell Koha libraries to index biblio number x
23:16 eythian              if you manually change it that won't work
23:16 jcamins              No, I mean you must use the Koha API to make changes.
23:17 eythian              typically I just rebuild everything after modifying the database, though I also try to avoid modifying the database.
23:17 jcamins              ^^ exactly
23:17 santy_               ok, Ill study the api
23:18 santy_               but anyhow, eythian, where does koha make the note that the record has changed?
23:18 eythian              in the database. I think the table is 'zebra_queue' or something like that.
23:19 santy_               all right, thanks a lot
23:19 eythian              np
23:19 jcamins              santy_: what are you trying to do?
23:21 YoungPublicLibrarian Hello all! I'm back again! :/
23:22 santy_               well, I have to integrate many branches from about 50 agencies into one central Koha instance, I have successfully managed to do it in a low level, but if Koha's API can be used for that I'll try it out with it, too.
23:23 santy_               I'm implementing syncronizers for ISIS (using perl), Koha (Java) and SIABUC8
23:23 santy_               also java
23:23 jcamins              santy_: good luck with that.
23:24 santy_               I had to use Java, otherwise I would have chosen perl or php
23:24 YoungPublicLibrarian Is the Koha Demo down at the moment? I can't seem to access it...
23:24 eythian              which koha demo?
23:24 santy_               but everything goes at the low level
23:24 YoungPublicLibrarian the Bywater Demo for Staff Interface
23:25 santy_               Is there another way to sync two Koha branches of different servers?
23:26 santy_               thanks jcamins, I'll let you know how it went
23:27 jcamins              santy_: database replication.
23:27 eythian              sync or merge?
23:27 YoungPublicLibrarian Hmm...all the other demos seem to be up and running...
23:27 santy_               but does db replication work on just a branch?
23:28 santy_               or is that global
23:28 santy_               like the whole-table replication mysql supports?
23:28 santy_               sync
23:30 santy_               the central Koha db will hold records from many branches, I would need to sync at the per branch level
23:30 jcamins              That's not the way Koha was designed.
23:31 jcamins              Use one Koha installation for all branches, if it's centralized, or use multiple Koha installations if it isn't.
23:32 jcamins              Net::OpenSSH works, thank goodness.
23:47 santy_               ok, let say there are 3 gvt libraries. One of them, library A, has no ILS yet and would like to use Centralized Koha as their library mgmt system. Every record of library A would get the A-BRANCH name. Library B already has it's own Koha system running and would like to share their B-BRANCH records for them to be searchable in the centralized Koha, too. Their records would get the label B-BRANCH in the central Koha system. Library C has WINISIS, and they
23:47 santy_               would also like to share their records for them to be searchable in the central Koha system. Their records would get the label C-BRANCH in the central Koha. Library A would add and edit their records directly through central Kohas interface... no problem, Library B would sync its records somehow incrementally each time they are modified, added or deleted by some sort of daemon/webservice/syncmethod. Library C, would send their ISIS db everytime it gets
23:47 santy_               changed and a daemon would sync their records accordingly. Branches would have to be treated independently with one Koha database instance. Are you suggesting to create different Koha databases...? one per library/branch? Would central zebra still search among all Koha mysql instances?

23:50 YoungPublicLibrarian Anyone wanna give me a hand with that report. Just have some questions on it.
23:53 mtj                  santy_, just use one koha and one db, anything more is just fail
23:58 santy_               thanks mtj.  Koha has so much functionality, I'd just like to be sure there isn't already a special Koha API function for branch synchronization before diving into my development.
