22:43 eythian        hi
21:02 rangi          open solaris, if it still existed maybe :-)
21:01 rambutan       oh, you'd love Solaris!
21:01 rangi          rambutan: deb would make my life easier yes :)
21:01 rambutan       Still haven't asked for permission though. :)
21:01 rambutan       rangi: I have my tech installing deb on a Sun Fire V240 for a test run. It was happily running Solaris, but thought you might prefer deb or something.
21:00 cait           the article is long
20:59 rambutan       translate.google.com  -- even preserves the page formatting
20:59 cait           that's the headline anyway

20:54 cait           hm site not found :(
20:54 mveron         Swiss media about Open Source: www.netzwoche.ch/de-CH/News/2012/12/04  (in German)
20:53 mveron         I did not yet try with the vacuum - but i plan to do so with some veal.
20:53 jcamins_away   mveron: yeah, the vacuum packer machines. :)
20:53 mveron         jcamins_away: for the dishwasher?  great!
20:52 jcamins_away   We're not going to, I was just talking about it.
20:52 drojf          s/run/ran
20:52 jcamins_away   mveron: I was talking about getting a food sealer the other day. I thought about you. :)
20:52 drojf          mveron: good! about 12 kohas installed. everybody that stayed managed to install. two librarians run off after half an hour though :/
20:51 mveron         and hi cait
20:51 mveron         hi drojf, how was your Koha party?
20:50 rambutan       same for Polaris taking market share from Unicorn/Dynix/Horizon
20:50 cait           hi mveron
20:50 drojf          hi mveron
20:50 mveron         hi #koha
20:50 jcamins_away   Not really.
20:49 cait           jcamins_away: oh, I wondered if she said somehting about both ILS in comparison :)
20:49 jcamins_away   rambutan: I noticed that. I figure it must've been a consortium.
20:49 rambutan       per ibrarytechnology stats: EG took a big a* bite out of Millennium last year.
20:48 jcamins_away   A hard worker, though much less experienced than my other interns.
20:48 jcamins_away   She was very pleasant.
20:46 wahanui        and is that patch only for "$" or for "$ CAD" ?
20:46 cait           and?
20:45 * jcamins_away had an intern who worked in the library there.
20:44 cait           they put a lot of money towards it I think
20:42 rambutan       I'm guessing this organization is probably a main life-support contributor for LLEK? Sine qua non?
20:42 wizzyrea       using apple fonts etc.
20:42 cait           oh ok
20:42 wizzyrea       it looks like an apple website
20:42 wizzyrea       that site from the email
20:42 cait           wizzyrea: apple?
20:41 wizzyrea       nah
20:41 jcamins_away   I thought you were talking about the state.
20:41 jcamins_away   Right.
20:41 jcamins_away   Ohh.
20:41 jcamins_away   )
20:41 wizzyrea       NH is just one
20:41 jcamins_away   (hence the "Westchester" in the name
20:41 wizzyrea       many institutions
20:40 wizzyrea       waldo is huuuge
20:40 jcamins_away   wizzyrea: in NH? I always thought WALDO was based in Westchester.
20:40 rambutan       things that make you go "hummm"
20:40 wizzyrea       also they apparently want to be apple.
20:40 wizzyrea       yep.
20:40 rambutan       yea. Apparently they are sill on LLEK?
20:39 wizzyrea       rambutan: they are waldo, the people who spawned LLEK
20:39 rambutan       I hadn't been aware until now that NH had such an apparently large <independent?> Koha dev effort.  (Trying to use enough vague qualifiers in my statement)
20:37 cait           lol
20:34 drojf          nobody expects the google inquisition
20:33 drojf          ha! even
20:33 drojf          ha1 a twist :D
20:33 jcamins_away   I thought you were going to say "he should ask that on a Google group."
20:33 jcamins_away   Oh.
20:32 drojf          we should include google MAPS also!
20:32 * jcamins_away does.
20:32 drojf          jcamins_away: you know what i am going to say
20:28 * chris_n      either
20:27 cait           brb
20:27 cait           I think it wuld have showed up on twitter
20:26 jcamins_away   I'm not sure if she has yet. I don't really follow librarytechnology.org.
20:26 cait           ah good!
20:26 jcamins_away   cait: nengard volunteered to do that.
20:26 * cait         wanders off
20:26 cait           talking about things we could do.... what about senidng our 3.10 announcement to marshall breeding?
20:25 cait           hm
20:24 jcamins_away   I see no benefit to be gained from "unfortunately the license prohibits that."
20:23 rangi          yeah
20:22 jcamins_away   I thought about it, but decided against it.
20:22 * jcamins_away either.
20:17 cait           me neither
20:15 tcohen         bye #koha
20:15 rangi          not touching that email
20:09 rangi          :)
20:09 rangi          and will again next year
20:09 rangi          koha had a big one last year
20:09 rangi          yeah they had a big year this year
20:08 cait           evergren has some nice numbers
20:07 rangi          http://www.librarytechnology.org/ils-turnover-reverse.pl?Year=2012
20:07 jcamins_away   Cool, I didn't know that.
20:07 rangi          as its getting to the end of the year
20:06 rangi          http://www.librarytechnology.org/ils-turnover.pl?Year=2012
20:06 rangi          its pretty much realtime .. he's just been tweeting it
20:06 jcamins_away   Has he released a new dataset?
20:06 jcamins_away   Ah.
20:06 rangi          s
20:06 rangi          evergreen and koha .. in the turnover report, how its hard to see as its spread over multiple vendor
20:05 jcamins_away   What are you discussing? Evergreen's representation in the database?
20:04 jcamins_away   lol
20:04 rangi          i crack myself up
20:04 tweetbot`      [off] twitter: @ranginui: "@tararobertson @mbreeding it's the same with #kohails it's a tricky one to solve, 61 across 11 vendors (not counting the 15 sporks)"
20:02 slc0274        Ok thank you for the information.  I will get with my tech people and see if we can get this working.  I appreciate the help.
20:01 jcamins_away   At the migration toolbox link, not the holdings data link, which is of course where you find information about how Koha stores holdings data. :)
20:00 jcamins_away   ^^ that's where you would find the best command-line scripts.
20:00 huginn         cait: unknown tag 952
20:00 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
20:00 cait           @marc 952
20:00 wahanui        i guess migration toolbox is https://www.gitorious.org/koha-toolbox/
20:00 jcamins_away   migration toolbox?
20:00 jcamins_away   You have two options for that sort of thing: MarcEdit, which has a graphical user interface, and command-line scripts.
20:00 jcamins_away   Probably Spectrum stuck the information somewhere in the 8xx or 9xx range, and you just have to move it.
20:00 slc0274        I have looked and looked
20:00 slc0274        Is there somewhere I can go to find out more about exactly how to do that?
19:59 jcamins_away   Right, so you'll need to convert the holdings information that you got out of Winnebago Spectrum into Koha item reccords.
19:56 slc0274        the patrons were a CSV file
19:56 slc0274        actually I was wrong it was a MARC file not a CSV file
19:56 jcamins_away   How did you convert your records to MARC?
19:56 jcamins_away   Well, Koha doesn't understand Winnebago's format at all, so it's not that there was an error with the file so much as the file didn't have the information in the places it needed to go.
19:56 slc0274        3.8
19:55 cait           slc0274: which version of koha are you using?
19:55 slc0274        or not matching
19:54 slc0274        so if it didn't automatically do it something is not right on the file I imported
19:54 jcamins_away   That page on the wiki lists which subfields are used for what piece of information.
19:53 huginn         jcamins_away: unknown tag 952
19:53 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
19:53 jcamins_away   @marc 952
19:53 jcamins_away   In that case you should import the holdings as item records. It's just a matter of mapping Spectrum holdings information into Koha holdings information.
19:53 slc0274        I exported everything at once records and holdings
19:52 slc0274        The file I imported was a CSV file that I exported from our current library system Winnebago Spectrum
19:52 jcamins_away   Also, Koha is a name not an acronym. :)
19:52 jcamins_away   Usually it's easiest to import the holdings information with the bib records.
19:52 jcamins_away   slc0274: it depends what format your holdings information is in.
19:51 slc0274        I would like to ask a question but I am by no means an expert. We are experimenting with KOHA to see if we want to use it for our school library.  We have put all of our patrons in and I have imported my records.  However no holdings were imported.  Is there an easy way to import the holdings all at once?
19:51 jcamins_away   cait: was that you gnashing your teeth? ;)
19:50 magnuse        http://dbpedia.org/resource/Leon_Uris
19:50 cait           GND!
19:50 jcamins_away   Or, as I might say if there were some sort of file with authoritative information about names: Uris, Leon, 1924-2003. :)
19:49 magnuse        not this time, at least
19:49 jcamins_away   Yes.
19:49 magnuse        leon uris?
19:48 rangi          yup :)
19:48 * jcamins_away thought we were celebrating the author of Exodus and The Haj.
19:48 magnuse        as in linked data ;-)
19:48 rangi          ahh :)
19:48 magnuse        URIs
19:47 rangi          uris?
19:44 magnuse        uris ftw!
19:38 cait           tcohen++
19:38 jcamins_away   lol
19:38 rangi          that could only possibly work if we came up with our own character encryption to store it in
19:37 rangi          that's crazy talk
19:37 jcamins_away   Maybe an electronic file.
19:37 jcamins_away   Something with authority.
19:36 jcamins_away   If only there was something to disambiguate names.
19:36 libsysguy      poor google
19:36 libsysguy      yeah there is a lot of name copying now...boo
19:36 rangi          how's that for confusing
19:36 rangi          there's another company catalyst in teh US doing evergreen stuff now
19:35 rangi          we had the name first .. cant help it if ppl want to copy :)
19:35 libsysguy      :p
19:35 libsysguy      thanks...
19:35 rangi          and eythian and wizzyrea too now :)
19:35 libsysguy      also, I can't have anything related to libraries and catalyst in my google searches
19:35 rangi          heh
19:35 libsysguy      every time I see the word catalyst I get a little excited then I realize that its where rangi works
19:35 rangi          :)
19:34 * jcamins_away returns to being vaguely hopeful that he has some idea what's going on around him.
19:34 rangi          no worries
19:34 jcamins_away   Thanks.
19:34 jcamins_away   Ah. That explains it.
19:34 rangi          koha doesnt have it
19:34 rangi          jcamins_away: thats all on the moodle side
19:33 jcamins_away   Incidentally, windows--
19:32 jcamins_away   rangi: I am confused about SAML support as well. I thought Koha didn't have it, but the newsletter the guy on the mailing list links to would seem to indicate that you've been using SAML for Koha authentication at Catalyst.

19:07 rangi          Direct db access will then need to be redone, but any of the 3 api will still work
19:06 rangi          We will be changing the password hashing in the near future

19:05 cait           yep
19:05 rangi          Or ilsdi
19:05 cait           for authentication
19:05 cait           a better way to do things like that is using sip2

18:29 kathryn        hehe thanks magnuse I've been doing my math! see yas later...whoever at Catalyst told me the meeting was the morning after the staff Christmas party is in trouble!
18:28 magnuse        yay
18:28 jcamins        magnuse: sounds right.
18:27 magnuse        the meeting is in 24 hours - 27 minutes, right?
18:26 vfernandes     ok :)
18:26 jcamins        I'd say file a bug.
18:24 vfernandes     on the refine search results there is a extra comma... in OPAC and Staff client
18:23 jcamins        vfernandes: that does not ring any bells for me.
18:22 vfernandes     there is any bug open with refine authors display problem? there is a extra comma
18:22 jcamins        Yes please.
18:22 tcohen         should I fill a new bug and leave that bug as is?
18:21 tcohen         i found it in my tests rewrite
18:21 tcohen         there's still an open bug noted in the comments
18:21 huginn         04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8486 blocker, P5 - low, ---, colin.campbell, Pushed to Master , Critical error in Koha::Calendar::days_between calculation
18:21 tcohen         bug 8486 has been pushed, BUT
18:21 kathryn        morning all, I thought I was late for the meeting!
18:20 tcohen         jcamins
18:08 cait           sounds like a good idea
18:08 libsysguy      just so everybody knows I have a 401k :p
18:08 libsysguy      heh
18:08 libsysguy      oh yup
18:08 cait           wrong chan?
18:07 huginn         libsysguy: The operation succeeded.
18:07 libsysguy      @later tell cindy thanks for getting my retirement stuff cleared up
17:49 cait           yeah
17:49 cait           ah and that too?
17:48 jcamins        cait: UNIMARC... crazy, eh?
17:48 cait           bibliographic and authority records
17:48 cait           I think you are talking aobut different things
17:46 vfernandes     5xx are notes
17:45 vfernandes     4xx are serial titles I think...
17:44 sophie_m       thank you cait. And if somone else want to test...
17:44 gerundio       4xx and 5xx refer to Authoroties titles, right?
17:44 cait           sophie_m: I will try to take alook , but have to work on something else tonight
17:43 gerundio       and the indexes for the Title field show a lot of 200 subfields
17:43 vfernandes     it also search 4XX and 5XX fields
17:43 gerundio       I'm looking at the /etc/koha/zebradb/marc_defs/unimarc/biblios/record.abs file
17:42 jcamins        gerundio: yes.
17:41 vfernandes     gerundio: in UNIMARC search on title search in many 200 subfields
17:41 sophie_m       cait and have done some other patches linked to it that are waiting for signoff ;-)

17:40 sophie_m       cait I have written some comments on Bug 6030 on overdue notices
17:40 sophie_m       hi cait and #koha
17:38 gerundio       trick question: is it normal to perform an advanced search for a given title and most of the records that show up in the result set don't even have that word in the title?
17:30 cait           h i#koha
17:25 libsysguy      I don't think it'd be more than a library
17:25 jcamins        Oh, it doesn't require you to incorporate the code?
17:24 libsysguy      heh no, it'd be the equivalent of the bookjacket stuff
17:24 jcamins        But not open source?
17:22 libsysguy      they are pretty useful services imo
17:22 * jcamins      has never even heard of those things.
17:21 libsysguy      nothing too serious
17:21 libsysguy      heh, it was just a thought
17:21 jcamins        libsysguy: none.
17:14 libsysguy      anybody have thoughts on using a service like disqus or livefyre as koha's commenting system?
17:03 mib            ok tx
17:03 jcamins        However, if you're able to get the data converted by MarcEdit, Koha will handle it just fine. :)
17:02 mib            i will do that
17:02 mib            ok
17:02 jcamins        There's a MarcEdit mailing list where you could ask for help with that particular step.
17:01 mib            i have been only using marcedit but apparantly it was not taking alphanumeric numbers while coverting data
17:01 jcamins        I presume it would work fine with MarcEdit.
17:01 mib            i dont knw any other tool to get data from excel to mrc format
17:01 * drojf        heads home
17:00 jcamins        I don't know anything about MarcEdit.
17:00 jcamins        It will work fine with Koha.
17:00 jcamins        That should work.
17:00 mib            if i assign in excel sheet before each numeric number any alphabet say A1, B1, C1 will that be imported successfully
16:59 jcamins        In that case, you should assign unique barcode ranges to each library.
16:59 mib            only books are accessioned
16:58 mib            no barcoding is actually not yet done
16:58 jcamins        Let me rephrase that: are there barcode labels on the books?
16:58 mib            i am running marcedit to convert excel data
16:57 mib            from excel sheet
16:57 jcamins        mib: where are the barcodes coming from?
16:57 bag            no it hasn't yet
16:56 mib            i had one more problem if i attach one alphabet before numeric accession number when i run excel to marc in marcedit marcedit delete alphanumeric numbers from 952
16:56 jcamins        bag would know.
16:56 jcamins        Did the barcode prefix stuff ever get into Koha?
16:55 libsysguy      you just can't have duplicate barcodes across those branches
16:55 libsysguy      right, you can do that
16:54 mib            we want to have single installation with multiple branch data uploaded on single server
16:54 libsysguy      that barcode thing is really a pita
16:54 drojf          you could use instances instead of branches. but that is probably not what you want
16:53 libsysguy      mib you could delete all the barcodes but that isn't really a satisfactory solution
16:53 jcamins        mib: unfortunately I don't think there's really a work-around to make barcodes unique.
16:53 rambutan       and I would add, they are making more money than I am by far...
16:52 chris_n        maybe I should be paying myself instead
16:52 * chris_n      hates it when he knows more than the tech support at the service provider he is paying good money to >:(
16:49 mib            oh what could be the solution then
16:48 jcamins        mib: you can't have duplicate barcodes at all, even if the items are at different branches.
16:48 mib            yes branch codes do match in koha and mrc file
16:47 mib            but these duplicate barcodes are from each branches
16:47 mib            but after import it says 10000 records were not added due to duplicate barcodes
16:47 mib            when i stage records it says 33000 records are staged
16:47 mib            branches are set up in koha
16:46 drojf          mib: have you set up the branches in koha and do branch codes in koha and your marc file match?
16:37 mib            how to get all these libraries data into single koha installation where each branch has its own accession series
16:37 mib            i wish to get a multiple branch libraries data into koha through marc records import. when i run stage marc records i am getting only single library data but my mrc file contains multiple branches along with their accession numbers
16:33 vfernandes     if editing a record to change language to "por" it won't work
16:32 vfernandes     in koha 3.8.X you can't edit UNIMARC field 100 language
16:32 vfernandes     resolves two problems: the default language is fre when importing/editing biblio and the default value on the field 100 plugin is also fre...
16:32 Joubu          goodbye
16:31 gerundio       I'm going to take a look
16:31 gerundio       so probably it's that bug vfernandes mentioned
16:31 gerundio       because I was just about to say my colleague just told me that he edited one record and the value remained the same
16:31 jcamins        gerundio: oh, if it's the bug that vfernandes reported, I think it is impossible to fix without his patch.
16:30 gerundio       hmmm, vfernandes nice
16:30 huginn         04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8347 enhancement, P1 - high, ---, vfernandes, Needs Signoff , Koha forces UNIMARC 100 field code language to 'fre'
16:30 vfernandes     gerundio I've submitted a bug fix for that problem bug 8347
16:28 jcamins        Probably it would be faster to script it.
16:28 gerundio       somewhat around 60k records so far
16:27 jcamins        Depending how many records there are, it might be better to write a script, though.
16:27 gerundio       jcamins, thanks again, you're always a great help :)
16:26 gerundio       since this is still in pre-production environment maybe it's the best solution for this
16:26 jcamins        Should do, yes.
16:21 gerundio       a full catalog export, find and replace of the value of the field 100 on a MARC editor and full import could do the trick?
16:19 gerundio       and the 100 field value is showing the default Koha value
16:18 gerundio       jcamins, I'm looking at the Manage staged MARC records Batch
16:11 jcamins        If you set the default value for the framework the imported records will use, it'll get automatically populated when someone opens up those records, too.
16:11 reiveune       bye
16:10 gerundio       I expected it to happen too on imported ones
16:10 gerundio       I see that on new records
16:09 jcamins        gerundio: if you set a default, it will be automatically filled in whenever anyone opens a record that doesn't have that field populated.
16:09 * drojf        goes to sit in a corner
16:08 gerundio       jcamins, is this a standard behavior or should the imported records reflect my change in the 1st place?
16:08 drojf          ah sorry no, i was not paying enough attention and just remembered how i changed fields in all frameworks. which is something entirely different of course. sorry, ignore me, i'm tired and confused
16:07 jcamins        You can use touch_all_biblios.pl as a base.
16:07 jcamins        You'll need to write a script to do it.
16:07 kf             but not the marcxml and marc...
16:07 jcamins        It'll also corrupt all the records.
16:07 jcamins        it'll change the field.
16:06 jcamins        Well...
16:06 drojf          it won't?
16:06 jcamins        No, SQL won't work.
16:05 wahanui        okay, drojf.
16:05 drojf          but it is also a way to destroy everything in seconds, so take a backup ;)
16:05 drojf          sql
16:03 gerundio       is there any way to update this for all the records in my catalog?
16:02 gerundio       I was now told that those records have the default koha value for that subfield
16:02 gerundio       I then imported a lot of records
16:02 gerundio       sometime ago, while setting up my koha instance I changed the Default value of the "a" subfield on tag 100 in the mark framework
15:54 tcohen         and create a new one to discuss this removal
15:53 tcohen         i'll leave Koha/Calendar.pm almost untouched for this bug
15:52 tcohen         ok
15:47 tcohen         and mocking makes them useless
15:47 tcohen         those methods are for volatile data
15:47 tcohen         and puts it in its own data structures
15:47 tcohen         Koha::Calendar reads what C4::Calendar put on the DB
15:46 jcamins        However, if it would be useful for quickly populating data structures with baseline data, I'd keep it.
15:46 libsysguy      RM jcamins
15:46 tcohen         exactly
15:46 libsysguy      yup
15:46 tcohen         you mean jcamins?
15:46 jcamins        If it has no practical use outside of unit tests, I'd remove it.
15:45 tcohen         as it was used only on Calendar.t
15:45 libsysguy      but you might want to ask the RM
15:45 libsysguy      I would personally agree
15:45 libsysguy      hmm
15:45 tcohen         i vote for removal
15:45 tcohen         what do u think of that code that exists just for testing like _mockinit, or add_holiday
15:45 tcohen         or, the first one i was about to ask:
15:44 libsysguy      k
15:44 tcohen         another question
15:44 libsysguy      so many tests, so little time
15:44 libsysguy      oh there are a lot lol
15:44 tcohen         if u remember any test we could add, just tell me
15:43 libsysguy      I may look at your work on calendar
15:43 tcohen         i'm about to create a bug for the new Calendar.t
15:43 tcohen         perfect
15:43 tcohen         oh, you are a step ahead, that was my next step
15:42 libsysguy      I've been working on creating Circulation.t
15:42 tcohen         including what was on db_dependent/Holidays.t
15:42 libsysguy      sweet
15:42 tcohen         i've almost finished my Calendar.t rewrite, using DBD::Mock
15:41 tcohen         he
15:41 libsysguy      si?
15:41 wahanui        libsysguy is, like, Koha's hottest developer or partying with swedes on his deck or koha's youngest developer
15:41 tcohen         libsysguy
15:29 drojf          nobody knows about the wiki confirmation email?

14:54 jenkins_koha   nengard: Bug 8945: Did you mean help file
14:54 jenkins_koha   Project Koha_master build #966: SUCCESS in 1 hr 9 min: http://jenkins.koha-community.org/job/Koha_master/966/
14:46 koyauni        you mean in this version this is a inbuild process
14:35 jcamins        It's all automatic.
14:35 jcamins        Nope.
14:35 koyauni        do I need to set it up
14:32 jcamins        It is run automatically every night.
14:32 koyauni        do you have any instruction some where so I get this dump thing so I us eit regularly
14:31 jcamins        Good.
14:31 koyauni        I have now made a file of the instruction and I keep that for next time:)
14:30 jcamins        Yes.
14:30 koyauni        at least we got latest Koha :)  does this has problem with ICU and Zebra for non latin as well ?
14:30 jcamins        I am happy to answer questions. It's just when I am asked the same thing three times that I get annoyed. I'm sure you can understand why.
14:29 koyauni        sorry, I wish we could hire an admin, but we do not have any, and as someone want to bring new way to education in Uni I have to do it myself the hard way, really sorry to bother you guys,
14:28 jcamins        I'm glad to hear that. Write down detailed notes, or save the chat logs, so that you can do this on February 2.
14:28 koyauni        the /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all did it and now it is working
14:26 jcamins        That is unfortunate, but I do not like repeating myself.
14:26 libsysguy      gerundio well as safe as possibly destroying passwords in the db
14:25 koyauni        you guys get paid via card, and we have no banking system in Iraq yet, all have been vanished with war, so people and bank does not work here
14:25 jcamins        However, I can't offer any more help, sorry.
14:25 jcamins        Seems probable.
14:25 jcamins        You're using Plack.
14:25 jcamins        No idea.
14:24 koyauni        do I need to run this maybe /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all
14:24 koyauni        even my main domain is not reachable http://koyauniversity.org/ but library.koyauniversity.org:8080 works
14:24 gerundio       so it's safe to preform a blind update on the burrowers table password field, right?
14:23 jcamins        koyauni: however, I would like to point out again the benefits of reading the documentation and learning how the software works, if you intend to run Koha without paying anyone for support.
14:23 libsysguy      correct
14:23 gerundio       he just exists on the koha-conf.xml file, correct?
14:23 gerundio       btw, the admin user doesn't have any record in the burrowers table, right?
14:23 libsysguy      until it gets updated
14:23 libsysguy      for the first time
14:22 gerundio       so when a user changed his password he could login with 2 different passwords?
14:22 jcamins        koyauni: perhaps you need to run `koha-upgrade-schema library`
14:22 libsysguy      my issue was wiht password changes
14:21 koyauni        I guess the rebuilding of that config has been lost as well
14:21 gerundio       I think I'll just overide the meaningful ones with the stub one too
14:21 koyauni        well I had configured that library.koyauniversity.org be my main domain and now it is not accessable
14:21 gerundio       since it only gets stored after the 1st update (2nd login) I have a mix set of meaningful and stub password hashes stored in the DB
14:20 koyauni        I just disabled any out installation in Plesk
14:19 jcamins        koyauni: as a note, this is going to happen again in exactly two months. You should learn to troubleshoot these problems, since you're going to have them every two months until you stop using the server.
14:19 gerundio       libsysguy, my thoughts too
14:18 jcamins        koyauni: not unless you set up something strangely.
14:17 koyauni        but my domain with extended :8080 works, do I have re run any configuration command please
14:17 libsysguy      I actually think its a terrible idea to store it
14:17 libsysguy      oh, you mean users passwords from LDAP?
14:16 jcamins        libsysguy: DB
14:16 jcamins        We have 139 bugs at "Needs Signoff"
14:16 libsysguy      BD?
14:16 koyauni        This installed Koha 3.10.00.000
14:16 wahanui        any ideas are welcome :)
14:16 jcamins        libsysguy: any ideas?
14:15 * jcamins      is grasping.
14:15 jcamins        gerundio: maybe if your LDAP connection is iffy?
14:15 gerundio       jcamins, btw, any good reason to store the LDAP password in the BD?
14:09 libsysguy      heh
13:59 jcamins        You should sign off. :)
13:58 jcamins        magnuse already said it.
13:58 jcamins        Oh.

13:58 magnuse        gerundio: bug 9165
13:58 jcamins        gerundio: I can try.
13:58 gerundio       can you point me to it?
13:58 gerundio       now we're talking jcamins :)
13:57 jcamins        gerundio: there's a patch to disable that.
13:56 gerundio       even though it's not clear to me why there's need to store the user pass on the DB when we're dealing with LDAP auth
13:56 koyauni        so we have many sites, and now all of them are not accessible, since Apache is not reposnding
13:55 gerundio       thanks for the reply
13:55 koyauni        I have not, this is server hosting pack we bough an dit was on it,
13:54 jcamins        This is, of course, a perfect example to why everyone told you not to use Plesk.
13:54 gerundio       just saw your answer to my earlier question regarding the LDAP authentication method and a password being cyphered and stored in the DB
13:54 koyauni        or it should already be on my system
13:54 jcamins        Right.
13:54 koyauni        so I just install it,
13:54 jcamins        It's part of the Koha package.
13:54 koyauni        so I can install that for next time
13:54 gerundio       kf, back from lunch
13:53 koyauni        and it has created that, I guess I have to reinstalll Koha now, Sorry would you please tell me where I find koha-dump
13:53 jcamins        Good, that should be everything you need.
13:52 koyauni        I see the back ups in spool and I did created one today by  mysqldump -u koha_library -p koha_library > myKohaLibrary.sql
13:51 jcamins        ^^ if you look in there you should be able to find the instructions from when we did this last time.
13:50 wahanui        hmmm... logs is http://irc.koha-community.org/irclog/koha/
13:50 jcamins        logs?
13:50 koyauni        no last time was exactly the same thing, bloody Plesk did auto update and wipped files so appache had isntuction to buidl them but coud not find them, so I installed Koha again and that solved issue
13:49 jcamins        If the backups are there, use those.
13:49 jcamins        Look in /var/spool/koha/library.
13:48 jcamins        Hey, didn't we go through this exact thing before when you uninstalled Koha by accident?
13:47 jcamins        You will have to locate that command.
13:47 koyauni        root@koyauniversity ~ # koha-dump library -bash: koha-dump: command not found
13:45 jenkins_koha   Starting build #966 for job Koha_master (previous build: SUCCESS)
13:43 jcamins        There are also nightly backups stored in that directory if you haven't made any changes since last night.
13:42 jcamins        `man koha-dump` may be useful to you.
13:42 jcamins        You run `koha-dump library` and copy the files out of /var/spool/koha/library.
13:42 koyauni        how do I access this koha dump please
13:41 koyauni        this bloody Plesk is soooooooooo damn
13:41 koyauni        in Oct
13:41 koyauni        Once yes :(

13:36 jcamins        Hasn't this happened before at least once and possibly twice?
13:35 jcamins        Use the koha-dump program.
13:33 koyauni        hi guys, my server has stopped working and the Apache web server is not responding, can you please tell me how I backup my library os at least have thatcoverd
13:19 jcamins        vfernandes: what does the method need to do exactly?
12:58 kf             vfernandes: maybe ask jcamins_away
12:38 vfernandes     C4::Members or C4::Circulation?
12:38 vfernandes     kf the method I need doesn't seems to exist... where should I create it?
12:35 drojf          has the account registration email problem with the wiki never been solved or is it back again?
12:31 huginn         04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9206 enhancement, P1 - high, ---, vfernandes, NEW , Only allow place holds in records that the patron don't have in his possession
12:31 vfernandes     i need it for bug 9206
12:31 drojf          hi kf :)
12:31 drojf          hi #koha
12:31 kf             hi drojf
12:31 kf             when you delete a patron such things are checked, maybe you can trace it from there
12:31 kf             but I can't tell you which
12:30 kf             I would think yes
12:28 vfernandes     kf: here is any perl method in any pm that check if the patron has any item of the record?
12:27 kf             gerundio: password fields are encrypted in the database for security reasons
12:27 kf             gerundio: of course
12:18 gerundio       is this standard behavior?
12:15 gerundio       looking at the borrowers table I find that there's and hash value on the password field for my uid
12:15 gerundio       I just noticed I'm able to login with my LDAP credentials even after turning LDAP auth off
11:35 vfernandes     good morning tcohen
11:35 tcohen__       morning #koha
11:11 vfernandes     there is any perl method in any pm that check if the patron has any item of the record?
10:44 gerundio       is a user supposed to be able to log in using his card number as his username?
10:44 gerundio       can anyone explain to me the LDAP auth workflow after the 1st login?
10:43 gerundio       sim, sou o Rolando :)
10:31 vfernandes     sim... português?
10:28 gerundio       tudo bem?
10:28 gerundio       oi vfernandes :)
10:10 vfernandes     hi :)
08:47 kf             hi #koha
08:26 alex_a         and cait :)
08:26 alex_a         :)
08:26 alex_a         hello clrh !!
08:23 clrh           hello Caitttt :)
08:23 clrh           hello clrh
08:01 Joubu          hello #koha
07:51 alex_a         bonjour
07:48 wahanui        what's up, reiveune
07:48 reiveune       hello
07:24 magnuse        yay! :-)
07:23 * cait         waves back
07:18 * magnuse      waves
05:34 vkm            thx i will check
05:31 cait           to make it unique for the database, as far as I unerstand
05:30 cait           the barcodes in the books can be duplicate, the prefix is by branch
05:30 cait           vkm: the prefixes are 'virtual'
05:30 cait           yes, look into the bug description
05:29 vkm            to accept same barcode/accession number because of different brances
05:29 huginn         04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7676 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle.m.hall, In Discussion , Barcode Prefixes
05:29 vkm            i thing in multiple libraries case it should be like that
05:29 cait           bug 7676
05:28 cait           maybe search bugzilla for barcode prefixes
05:28 cait           but it's not available in koha right now
05:28 cait           i think there was done some development in this direction
05:28 cait           oh
05:26 vkm            suppose i have many branch exist but at present their accession/barcode is same, so is it possible to manage them in koha without changing barcodes
05:26 cait           it also depends, if you are using preprinted barcodes or want koha to generate them
05:25 cait           koha should never allow you to add duplicate barcodes
05:25 cait           have you looked into the autobarcode settings?
05:25 wahanui        barcodes are all in weird places
05:25 vkm            barcodes
05:24 vkm            yes
05:24 cait           vkm: do you imean inventory numbers ($i) or barcodes?
05:24 cait           hi clrh :)
05:24 vkm            in managing multiple branch is it necessary to keep accession number/series separate to avoid duplicate number
05:23 vkm            oh thz i learn russian one word privet
05:22 cait           privet is hello in russian - don't mind the bot :)
05:20 vkm            privet means
05:19 wahanui        privet, vkm
05:19 vkm            hi
05:16 cait           hi #koha
04:58 vkm            hello all, may i know is it necessary to keep accession series separate while managing multiple library

03:53 mtj            wow, great topic on /.  -> http://developers.slashdot.org/story/12/12/03/2312241/auto-threading-compiler-could-restore-moores-law-gains
03:29 mtj            jcamins_away, thanks for posting this interesting list -> http://paste.koha-community.org/298
03:28 mtj            atm, i cant remember where i put it, even
03:27 mtj            hmm, i wonder if libsys found my bootstap repo ok...
02:25 jcamins        fmos.defined(0)
02:25 jcamins        Right, figured it out.
02:20 jcamins        Anyone know how to do that?
02:19 jcamins        However, I would like to know that there is at least one member of fmos before I print the label.
02:19 jcamins        [% FOREACH fmo IN fmos %] works exactly as you'd expect.
02:19 jcamins        I have a variable stored in an array.
02:19 jcamins        I have a TT puzzle.
01:54 wahanui        OPAC is for patrons
01:54 jcamins        OPAC?
01:51 jcamins        It irritates me no end, but I'm used to it.
01:51 jcamins        eythian: I'm used to the other way around.
01:49 eythian        Heh, I had a lot of records that were the reverse of that
01:47 jcamins        The records are in UTF-8, but the leader is set to MARC-8 on export.
01:47 jcamins        Actually, I take that back.
01:39 jcamins        Also, has anyone ever noticed that "export records in utf-8"... doesn't?
01:32 jcamins        lol
01:29 wahanui        MARC-8 is let's take rule 123, combine it with incompetence, stupidity, and malice, and turn that into something we'll call a 'character set' that really isn't.
01:29 wizzyrea       MARC-8?
01:29 wizzyrea       MARC-8 is let's take rule 123, combine it with incompetence, stupidity, and malice, and turn that into something we'll call a 'character set' that really isn't.
01:23 rangi          yup
01:22 jcamins        It's like someone said "I know, let's take rule 123, combine it with incompetence, stupidity, and malice, and turn that into something we'll call a 'character set' that really isn't."
01:19 jcamins        My god I hate MARC-8.
00:41 huginn         04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7001 enhancement, P3, ---, srdjan, Pushed to Master , User Configurable Slips
00:41 wizzyrea       ask srdjan about how much he loves bug 7001 ;)
00:32 eythian        wizzyrea: I think you're exactly right with that notices thing.
00:26 wizzyrea       :D
00:26 wizzyrea       \o/
00:26 eythian        I shall have a look.
00:26 eythian        hmm yes
00:26 wizzyrea       if you can't get a proper address now, the right place to add that is probably notices
00:25 wizzyrea       3.8
00:25 eythian        oh, when do/did they come about?
00:25 wizzyrea       eythian: don't the customizable slips - can't you add that there
00:23 eythian        I might make the patch anyway, see if anyone complains and if they do, deal with it then.
00:22 eythian        It just seems too small to make a syspref for
00:22 eythian        do you think anyone would object to a patch making quick slips include the address? This is actually already implemented, it's just when you select quick slip, it takes you to the slightly less detailed one.
00:18 jcamins        Someone from Luxembourg, of all places, is spidering one of my clients' entire catalogs.
00:17 libsysguy      we're good now

00:02 libsysguy      not like trolololol
00:02 libsysguy      oh no, trolling like a motor
00:02 eythian        "kohaaloha is bad and mtj should feel bad!" -- that sort of trolling?
00:00 libsysguy      but can't seem to find it
00:00 libsysguy      I'm trolling koha aloha
00:00 bag            heh
