00:16 wizzyrea           ok, question - regarding bug 9534, I had thought of two ways to do this
00:16 huginn             04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9534 trivial, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , No way to get back to bib detail from edit record screen
00:16 wizzyrea           but I can't decide which is better
00:17 wizzyrea           a cancel button that takes you back or a link in the breadcrumbs to click bac
00:17 wizzyrea           because you don't get the menu there. I guess that's another option - put the menu on that page.
00:18 jcamins            I don't think the menu is a good idea because it takes too much space.
00:18 jcamins            I would favor breadcrumbs, I think.
00:20 wizzyrea           I was thinking of putting it in the floating toolbar with save and z39 search
00:21 jcamins            Oh, that would be okay. I thought you meant adding the default toolbar.
00:21 wizzyrea           because I think the breadcrumbs are too small, now that I'm looking at it
00:21 wizzyrea           naw
00:21 wizzyrea           I meant adding the side menu with the tabs, adding a cancel button to the floating toolbar, or adding a link to the record in the breadcrumbs
00:22 jcamins            If the breadcrumbs are too small, cancel button would be my preference.
00:22 jcamins            I had forgotten just how awesome crusty dill bread is.
00:33 jcamins            I should make more next time I have dill.

01:50 ndroftheline       Hello, I am a US Peace Corps Volunteer working in the Philippines. I am trying to help a high school set up a computerized library catalogue. Is there anybody in the Philippines who can help me with this?
01:51 wajasu             there was a guy on here, mtompset was his handle that was over there last year.  don't know about now.
01:51 wajasu             i think.
01:51 jcamins            He's in Canada now.
01:52 jcamins            There are a lot of libraries in the Philippines using Koha.
01:52 jcamins            And if you have specific questions, you should feel free to ask them on #koha.
01:53 eythian            The Philippines National Library runs Koha, I think.
01:53 jcamins            eythian: and an astonishingly large number of other libraries. I think rangi trained them.

01:54 jcamins            Ugh. A lot of Koha 2.2.
01:55 jcamins            Actually, it looks like at least some of them were upgraded.

02:50 mib_9m8s5p         Hello all! I seem to be having an issue with Avery 5160 and Koha 3.11.00.022 - the labels print fine for the first few rows but get skewed off the label towards the end so I'll end up with some without the header and some with 2x half-headers. Here are my settings for the label: http://i.imgur.com/etzNRID.png
02:51 mib_9m8s5p         .... and here is the layout view: http://i.imgur.com/T54sphC.png . Ideally I'd like the barcodes and 'header' centred on the label - but just getting the print on the label is step one for me - could someone please lend me some insight? :)
03:01 wajasu             joltt: looking at your label layout, i am not sure the "list fields" that contains 'ABC Resource Center' is corrent.   I think you need something like:  itemcallnumber,author,title  in that field
03:05 joltt              wajasu: I'm trying to add that as a header using the single quote method.. although it's the same as the library name - should I try to pull the library name from the database somehow instead?
03:05 dcook              Afternoon #koha
03:06 wajasu             joltt: let me try your settings.
03:07 joltt              thanks :)
03:07 joltt              it's an odd problem for sure - i'm probably doing something wrong somewhere
03:17 wajasu             i tried with:  'ABC Hello', author, title    and with 3 and 11 point font.   i just get the biblio barcode, no fields.  let me try som emore things.
03:18 wizzyrea           i bet you need to fiddle around with offset
03:19 wizzyrea           is this an upgrade from a previous version?
03:19 wizzyrea           and also curious why you are running off of master?
03:19 wizzyrea           joltt^^
03:19 wizzyrea           hi dcook
03:20 dcook              hey wizzyrea :)
03:22 joltt              wizzyrea: I saw something in the mailing list that the stable version had label scaling problems so i thought i'd try master to see if it fixed it
03:22 joltt              i've played with offset a bit, it's just odd that it's fine for a few and then gradually gets worse
03:22 joltt              perhaps i missed the setting i need to fiddle with
03:23 wizzyrea           which stable version
03:23 joltt              odd about the missing text - the manual says to enclose static text in single quotes to get them outputted
03:23 wizzyrea           which stable version did you come from?
03:23 wizzyrea           3.4? 3.6? 3.8? 3.10?
03:24 joltt              i think it was 3.10, but i'm trying to see which one was in 'squeeze' in the repo
03:25 wizzyrea           ah cool
03:25 * joltt            tries to look that up
03:26 joltt              yes, 3.10
03:27 wajasu             i'm playing with master at the moment.  tried to change the template i createdto use a profile that already existed, but no go.
03:28 joltt              Here's how mine outputs (I've just recently turned on the grid for testing): http://i.imgur.com/KQcqgGW.png
03:30 wizzyrea           and it wasn't working in 3.10 either?
03:31 joltt              the static text worked - i was just hoping to fix the drift/overrun issue
03:31 wizzyrea           the last time I recall seeing this sort of problem
03:31 wajasu             i tried your quoted heading with the default profile/templates .  I can export a PDF with that.   your template has No profile.
03:31 wizzyrea           it had to do with label templates that were created prior to a particular version
03:32 wizzyrea           like, when moving from a 3.2 created template to the labels creator in 3.4
03:32 joltt              hmm, should I delete and try to recreate the entry after updating?
03:32 joltt              although I was using 3.10.. not 3.2
03:32 wizzyrea           the problem i saw, and this was ages ago
03:32 wizzyrea           was that the offset was incorrect
03:32 wizzyrea           have you tried removing the offset altogether? I'm trying to remember how we fixed it
03:33 joltt              sorry - where is the offset located?
03:33 wajasu             offset is in the profile.  but in master i can't select a profile when creating a template.
03:34 wajasu             maybe in 3.2 you can
03:34 joltt              ah; i haven't made any profiles
03:34 wizzyrea           right - that's where you set the offset and creep
03:34 wizzyrea           creep I think is what you are seeing
03:34 wizzyrea           you might poke about in there
03:34 wizzyrea           try some things
03:35 wizzyrea           actually I may be thinking of "creep"
03:35 joltt              ah okay
03:35 joltt              what values should I try for creep?
03:35 wizzyrea           sorry for the confusion ^.^
03:35 wizzyrea           dunno, how much is it off by at the end of the page?
03:36 wizzyrea           start with 1 point, and see what your results are - it's probably going to require a lot of experimentation
03:36 * joltt            nods
03:37 wizzyrea           but those settings are likely what's tripping you up.
03:37 druthb             o/
03:39 joltt              hmm, now it's lining up on the bottom but not the top
03:39 joltt              thanks for the direction, i'll play with it some more
03:44 wizzyrea           sure :)
03:44 wizzyrea           recipe aside, does the basckground on this page make your eyes go funny? http://www.food.com/recipe/lancaster-county-ham-loaf-wow-wow-wow-47850
03:45 * druthb           squints
03:45 joltt              the odd thing is it prints fine in word with their 5160 template
03:46 druthb             ...but the recipe looks delish, wizzyrea
03:47 wizzyrea           that's not odd at all. Word has 30 years of people complaining about offset behind it.
03:47 joltt              oops
03:47 joltt              true (re: word)
03:48 joltt              hm, so i've set creep to 1pt (and numerous values around 1pt) and that seems to fix the bottom portion but break the top
03:49 wizzyrea           and what about a printer profile set with 0's as the creep and offset?
03:49 * wizzyrea         can't remember if no profile = a profile with 0 set in the offset
03:49 wizzyrea           but it's possible it doesn't
03:49 * joltt            tries
03:50 joltt              hmm, perhaps closer
03:51 joltt              i need to increase the top margin though
03:51 wizzyrea           that is in the template :)
03:52 joltt              the odd thing is when printing using 'actual size' (adobe printing options) the 'guide' is cut off the left a bit
03:52 joltt              (in the print preview that is)
03:53 tweetbot`          [off] twitter: @nengard: "tonight I got to go to the Magic Kingdom with a librarian friend I met through the #kohails community ... how cool is that??!!"
03:56 joltt              it works!
03:56 joltt              all text is on the labels now
03:56 joltt              the only issue is the barcode isn't centered properly
03:56 joltt              but other than that it looks fantastic
03:58 joltt              here's a picture of what i'm seeing now: http://i.imgur.com/eFtY5eq.jpg
03:59 joltt              perhaps i'm missing a setting or a number for the barcode bit?
03:59 wizzyrea           \o/
04:00 wizzyrea           hm not sure
04:00 joltt              thanks though - this a huge leap forward
04:00 joltt              :)
04:00 wizzyrea           you're welcome :)
04:01 wizzyrea           was it creating a printer profile with 0's in the offset and creep?
04:01 druthb             wizzyrea++
04:01 wizzyrea           that ultimately solved your creep issue?
04:01 joltt              seems so!
04:01 wizzyrea           it occurs to me that we should make sure a default one is installed.
04:02 wizzyrea           with 0's instead of null.
04:02 wizzyrea           or make the code treat null as 0, I suppose is another solution.
04:02 wizzyrea           anyway, if someone cares to make a bug for that
04:02 wizzyrea           feel free to :)
04:02 wizzyrea           I have to jet :)
04:03 joltt              see you and thanks again!
04:03 joltt              wizzyrea++
04:04 wizzyrea           @later tell oleonard I was going to work on bug 9534 but it probably makes little sense to do that before those buttons are converted to bootstrap - if you have a patch for that I'll use it to add the cancel button - or if you're not working on it I will go ahead and do the conversion of that page myself (or save it for corey)
04:04 huginn             wizzyrea: The operation succeeded.

06:13 wajasu             me wonders if there should be something like "biblioauthorites" in the marc framework. or else expose the $9 RLIN authids in the opac-detail.pl
06:15 * druthb           shudders.
06:16 * druthb           has enough trouble explaining authorities to library staff; she wouldn't *dream* of foisting it on patrons.
06:17 cait               wajasu: what for?
06:18 wajasu             i need to get the authors links to search with the an=10  instead of au=Joe   style  since i use   UseTracings forAuthorities
06:19 druthb             Does UseAuthoritiesForTracings syspref not do that for authors in the OPAC?
06:20 cait               wajasu: it already works like this
06:20 cait               apart from facets
06:20 wajasu             i guess i need to iterate the $9 in the biblio and expose it tinthe template
06:20 wajasu             i see .../cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=au:Calvin,%20Jean,
06:20 cait               I think you are thinking too complicated
06:20 cait               are you uing xslt view?
06:21 wajasu             but the XSLT uses an=number
06:21 cait               but wasn't that what you said?
06:23 wajasu             without XSLT, it searches without the RLINm which i would expect it to do.
06:23 wajasu             bug 9563
06:23 huginn             04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9563 normal, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, NEW , Author links don't generate correct search query url for UseAuthoritesForTracings
06:23 wajasu             using RLIN seems to return more results
06:24 cait               so why are you not using the xslt views?
06:24 wajasu             i shall now.
06:25 wajasu             i just migrated from 3.0 and only got my auths all correct.
06:29 wajasu             yes. XSLT is better.
06:30 wajasu             more authors shown.
06:31 wajasu             maybe i can get 245c shown.   statement of responsibility
06:32 cait               you will have to make your own xslt templates for that
06:32 cait               there are prefs you can link your own stylesheets in
06:35 wajasu             thx
06:35 * wajasu           gnight folks
06:45 * magnuse          waves
06:57 magnuse            reserve.reserve_id is not available to be put in the HOLD_PRINT message? i have a library asking after that. shouldn't be too hard, i guess
07:05 cait               magnuse: maybe make the whole reserve table available if it's not? some of the dates might be interesting
07:07 magnuse            a lot of the fields seem to be available
07:08 magnuse            but so far it was just a question if it was possible to replace the name of the borrower with a reserve id, to make pickups more anonymous
07:11 magnuse            gah, DUE messages without bibliographic info is still being sent from one of my instances...
07:17 cait               magnuse:  :(
07:17 cait               and it's not because it was used in overdue triggers?
07:17 cait               magnuse: we have libraries here doing that
07:17 cait               generating an id for pickup location
07:17 magnuse            no, i fixed that
07:18 cait               not sure how they do it, I think some have a quite complicated algorithm, ohters use the cardnumber
07:18 magnuse            yeah, you'd think cardnumber should be ok
07:18 cait               that way all the books are in one place to be picked up - but people see them all together, so might be less anonymous
07:22 magnuse            [off] ah, looks like the library might have reverted the settings i changed for DUE...
07:32 Viktor             Hi!
07:34 Viktor             I'm a bit stuck on something that is probably easy. Can I force a new page in the HOLD_PRINT notice?
07:36 Viktor             I would like to keep the regular notice (that is sent to the patron), but also print a custom page that is inserted into the book with just branchcode, initials and borrowernumber so that books on hold can be placed in the library for patrons to pick up by themselves.
07:37 Viktor             This would of course require that the slip in the book is somewhat anonymized and I think initials + borrower number might do the trick.
07:43 Viktor             Might be to early for my timezone and to late for others though :)
07:44 reiveune           hello
07:46 magnuse            bonjour reiveune and Viktor
07:46 Viktor             Hi magnuse!
07:47 reiveune           hi magnuse , cait :)
07:47 Viktor             Hi reiveune
07:47 cait               hi Viktor :)
07:47 Viktor             Hi cait!
07:47 magnuse            Viktor: i guess you could make the message so long that it "spills" over onto a second page
07:47 reiveune           Bonjour Viktor
07:48 magnuse            not sure if there are any clever characters you can insert to force a page break
07:49 Viktor             Yes that would be quite possible. But it would feel better to do it "right"
07:49 Viktor             :)
07:49 Viktor             Question is then how the text is sent to the printer.
07:49 magnuse            but would not most "come and pick up your hold" messages be sent by email anyway?
07:50 Viktor             Right you are magnuse
07:51 Viktor             Am I forgetting something obvious? How do people handle books on hold? All places I have worked put a slip with borrorwer, title and date into the book when it goes into the shelf.
07:51 magnuse            that has been my experience too
07:52 Viktor             That is a note you need even if you e-mail the patron that the book is available. And this is the note I want to customize :)
07:52 cait               magnuse: for pagebreaks - check out bywaters blog
07:52 cait               there was something there
07:53 Viktor             (gah - my mouse just issued a "back" command. Had to reconnect)
07:53 cait               Viktor: Ithink you don't want Holds_print for this - because that's only for patrons that don't have emails - but reserve slip
07:53 Viktor             So: bywaters blog is the best bet?
07:53 Viktor             Looking for it!
07:53 cait               and for pagebreaks I think there was something ther, but haven't read it, onyl rmember the headline
07:53 magnuse            http://blip.tv/bywater-solutions-tv/adding-page-breaks-to-printable-overdue-notices-in-koha-6513217
07:53 cait               and now I have to run out :)
07:53 cait               bbl :)
07:54 magnuse            i think that is just relevant for printable overdues, that are put in a file you can edit
07:54 Viktor             You are all wonderful people! :D
07:55 Viktor             Thanks!
07:55 Viktor             It's even worth installing Flash on the new computer to watch that :)
07:56 Viktor             Oh - have to close Safari to install Flash. Will have to watch it after done chatting.
07:57 * magnuse          will have to run off for a while
07:57 Viktor             On another note: I try to blog as much as I can during the current migration (with some development) here in Sweden as Hylte is the first public library to migrate to Koha in sweden.
07:58 magnuse            Viktor++
07:58 Viktor             It's in Swedish though - would it be relevant to translate a post with our "wishlist" with stuff that we will add, modify or look for in Koha?
07:58 alex_a             bonjour
07:58 Viktor             bonjour alex_a
07:59 alex_a             bonjour Viktor
07:59 Viktor             Just as a service to the community - give some feedback on what libraries here think is missing. (We do have funds to fix some of the stuff ourselves)
08:01 Joubu              hello #koha
08:03 Viktor             Hi joubu!
08:04 magnuse            Viktor: yeah, that sounds like a good idea!
08:05 Viktor             Will try to do that then! Might try to do a few follow up posts too for the community.
08:16 kf                 good morning #koha

09:55 Viktor             A sort of general question - how do you solve booking of rooms, computers etcetra?
09:56 Viktor             I don't know of any such functions in Koha and I'm trying to figure out what could be done. Is there for instance any API to call the system and ask if a certain cardnumber + pincode is correct?
09:57 Viktor             (I don't think so, but I need the collective wisdom here)
10:00 kf                 Viktor: you mean a way to authenticate?
10:00 kf                 I think ils-di might be able to do it, or the new thing rangi wrote for persona or sip2
10:00 Viktor             indeed so kf - that would be a good start.
10:01 kf                 I think authentication should not be so problematic - some services already do that afaik
10:01 kf                 like overdrive
10:01 kf                 Viktor: you shoudl really get a real irc client... you know ;)
10:02 Viktor             Yes I do know :( I just lost that line you sent me with all the info.
10:02 kf                 (10:58:09) kf: I think ils-di might be able to do it, or the new thing rangi wrote for persona or sip2
10:02 Viktor             Thanks!
10:02 Viktor             Now copying - carfully :)
10:02 kf                 there shoudl be some options
10:02 kf                 but reserving itself can not be done in koha now - not for an exact time and like 2 hours
10:02 magnuse            i think ils-di would be good for that
10:03 kf                 like you would want for rooms
10:03 kf                 magnuse: I think it requires clear text or something, must be checked if it's safe
10:04 Viktor             Great to hear kf magnuse
10:04 Viktor             Then you might be able to hook up a third party system to Koha. That seems like a far cheaper option than trying to build booking of computers as a part of Koha
10:05 magnuse            yeah
10:05 kf                 Viktor: maybe take a look at libki or similar
10:05 magnuse            sounds like something you would want to do outside koha
10:05 kf                 [off] http://libki.org/
10:06 Viktor             Thanks! That looks like what I need!
10:06 magnuse            [off] http://demo.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/ilsdi.pl - see AuthenticatePatron etc
10:07 Viktor             I've been using a regular XP-machine with R-kiosk add on to autostarting Firefox for self-service. But public Internet machines require a bit more :)
10:08 Viktor             Get-availability is useful too! I need that to hook up availability to the national catalogue. Great to find out it's already implemented.
10:09 magnuse            for administering access to public computers, also checkout https://github.com/digibib/mycel from Oslo Public Library
10:10 Viktor             Wonderful! magnuse They are using a paid software in Hylte today that is still causing trouble after a few years. Might be time to make a switch.
10:11 magnuse            sounds like it! :-)
10:15 viktorsarge_       Ok - so trying out XChat on OS X. Have I overlooked something that makes me look stupid? :)
10:16 viktorsarge_       (Apart from being logged in with two nicks)
10:27 magnuse            Viktor: looks good :-)
10:28 Viktor             :)
10:34 kf                 yep
10:34 kf                 looks good :)
11:41 ambz               Hi all.
11:42 allora             hi all
11:42 ambz               Need some help. I'm trying to run the commands here: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/resetzebra.html
11:43 ambz               I get "[fatal] Cannot read config /etc/koha/zebradb/zebra-authorities-dom.cfg"
11:43 ambz               and similar error for /etc/koha/zebradb/zebra-biblios.cfg
11:43 allora             is it possible upload pdf file related to marc record when cataloging an item or upload cover photo?
11:44 ambz               I've already truncated the tables mentioned at: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/resetkohadb.html
11:44 magnuse            allora: you can upload covers, but not attach pdf
11:44 ambz               Any idea why the zebra cfg files are missing?
11:45 magnuse            allora: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/catalogtools.html#uploadlocalimages
11:46 allora             thanks alot
11:47 kf                 ambz: they are probably not missing but have wrong permissions
11:47 kf                 ambz: never run those commands with sudo
11:47 kf                 what's the reason you look at documentation for an old version of Koha?
11:47 ambz               they're missing... i checked
11:48 ambz               oh ok... i ran them as root
11:48 ambz               i'll try again as a normal user
11:48 kf                 3.8 is also old
11:48 wahanui            okay, kf.
11:48 kf                 hm
11:48 kf                 well not really old :)
11:48 kf                 forget 3.8
11:48 wahanui            kf: I forgot 3.8
11:49 ambz               kf, when i go to "about koha" in the staff client, it shows this as the version:
11:49 ambz               3.08.09.000
11:49 kf                 ah ok
11:49 kf                 is this a new installation you did?
11:49 kf                 did it work before?
11:49 ambz               yes, it's working fine
11:49 ambz               question: what version is 3.08.09.000... is it koha 3.8?
11:50 kf                 yes
11:50 kf                 that's right
11:50 wahanui            I know.
11:50 kf                 sorry, it's not really old, just not the newest version
11:50 ambz               ok... it's a bit misleading, why not just have the version as "3.8" in "about koha" ?
11:51 ambz               kf, ah ok
11:51 ambz               i chose 3.8 because i read somewhere that it's a more stable and reliabel version than the newer versions
11:52 * ambz             runs those commands without sudo
11:52 allora             I strongly need pdf attachment for e-books for my institution's publications :(
11:52 kf                 allora: I think there has been something int he works
11:52 kf                 but it didn't amke it in yet
11:53 drojf              good day #koha
11:53 kf                 hi drojf
11:53 drojf              hi kf
11:53 drojf              @wunder berlin, germany
11:53 huginn             drojf: The current temperature in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin, Germany is 9.7°C (12:43 PM CET on March 05, 2013). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 37%. Dew Point: -4.0°C. Windchill: 7.0°C. Pressure: 29.95 in 1014 hPa (Steady).
11:54 kf                 allora: there is a but somewhere in bugzilla, you can also always use links to your documents
11:54 kf                 allora: a digital repository software might be a better place to store the data even, then link to that from your records in Koha
11:55 kf                 bug 6874
11:55 ambz               kf, those files really are missing :(
11:55 huginn             04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6874 enhancement, P3, ---, julian.maurice, Signed Off , File upload in MARC
11:55 kf                 hm
11:55 kf                 ambz: which files exactly?
11:56 kf                 do you know how the installation was done? using packages? tarball? standard or dev installations? the file paths and how search is configured vary a bit
11:56 ambz               i used ubuntu packages
11:56 allora             yeah i know, but we have around 300 e-books and we don't want to use repository
11:57 kf                 ambz: ok, then don't work from the manual
11:57 kf                 ambz: what was your initial problem?
11:58 kf                 and this http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/resetkohadb.html is for resetting the database - it will have deleted all the records and items if you did - so there might be nothing to search for right now
11:59 ambz               kf, yes, i want to start afresh, with truncated tables
12:00 kf                 ok, there are a lot more table
12:00 ambz               but my zebra index is still populated... i can still search for books etc which have been deleted from the db
12:00 kf                 this instruction will only reset koha if you have used sample data and want to undo that - it'squite specific
12:00 kf                 if you really want a fresh start
12:00 kf                 creating a new instance or dropping the database might be better
12:01 Oak                kf++
12:01 ambz               kf, cool i'll do that... after i drop the db, is there a way to recreate the entire schema?
12:01 kf                 ambz: you need to resetthe index - you truncated the data - the search does not know about that
12:01 kf                 yes, the web installer will come p again
12:01 ambz               kf, right... how do i reset the zebra index?
12:01 kf                 -r I think
12:01 kf                 not sure about the packages - hmm.
12:02 ambz               hmm ok... lemme try resetting the zebra index
12:02 kf                 maybe this is helpful:
12:02 kf                 http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commands_provided_by_the_Debian_packages
12:02 ambz               kf, so i shouldn't run the zebra commands as root, correct?
12:02 kf                 not sure with packages - there is w hole set of build in commands
12:03 kf                 http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commands_provided_by_the_Debian_packages#koha-rebuild-zebra < this might be what you want
12:03 kf                 with -f
12:03 ambz               great! let me try koha-rebuild-zebra
12:04 ambz               ok, that didn't work
12:05 kf                 did you get an error?
12:05 ambz               i ran " koha-rebuild-zebra -f library" where 'library' is the name of my koha instance
12:05 kf                 I think with packages better stick to the package related commands
12:05 ambz               no error, no troubleshooting messages, nothing
12:05 kf                 hm -v?
12:06 ambz               ok that helped
12:07 ambz               i see a lot of
12:07 ambz               ==================== REINDEXING zebra ==================== ==================== CLEANING
12:07 kf                 ah that's not bad I think
12:07 kf                 should be good actually
12:07 ambz               yes, but i can still search for books in the UI
12:07 kf                 hm
12:08 kf                 maybe try running with -r - not sure it works, but maybe worth a try
12:08 ambz               cool, i'll also try restarting zebra
12:08 kf                 you can't open the detail pages, right?
12:08 ambz               kf, correct, "The record you requested does not exist (3)."
12:08 ambz               i can't open them
12:09 kf                 yep
12:09 kf                 that's always a sign that the record has been deleted and that the index is not current
12:09 ambz               ok
12:10 ambz               I also tried, " sudo koha-restart-zebra library"... didn't help
12:10 kf                 you did the -r?
12:11 kf                 try -v -v next to get more verbose output
12:13 ambz               yes, here's the output: http://mibpaste.com/703vOy
12:16 ambz               Any idea why this could happen? http://mibpaste.com/tzOzKk
12:21 ambz               Anyways, thanks a lot for your help, kf...
12:21 ambz               Really appreciate it :)
12:22 ambz               I tried rebooting the machine (lol) and it didn't help one bit :)
12:31 ndroftheline       hey all, do you think koha is overkill for a rural high school in a developing country without a trained librarian?
12:35 drojf              ndroftheline: are you willing to learn? :)
12:39 ambz               ndroftheline: i had the same question a month ago when i was evaluating koha for a small library for a non-profit organization, which also lacks a trained librarian... and i am really happy that we chose to use koha :)
12:39 ambz               and we're also in a "developing country"
12:40 ambz               but yes, there's a learning curve as drojf indicated... you have to be willing to learn a lot of new stuff
12:40 ambz               it helps that the community here is really helpful :)
12:40 magnuse            but once you learn that stuff, you have an "industrial strength" ils with a lot of bells and whistles ;-)
12:41 ambz               magnuse: yeah :D
12:41 kf                 sorry, quite busy ambz - hope you can solve it
12:42 ndroftheline       can anyone compare to a simpler system like openbiblio?
12:42 ambz               kf, no problem, buddy... thanks for your help... i'm creating a new instance as you suggested (much easier and gets the job done) :)
12:44 * ambz             is loving mibbit
12:47 * ambz             is also loving koha
12:54 kf                 :)
12:55 tcohen_            so, kf's birthday is gone today
13:01 ambz               has anyone used oclc/worldcat z39.50 servers for cataloging? (http://www.oclc.org/en-europe/z3950.html)
13:02 ambz               it looks very enticing, but i don't think it's a free service, right?
13:11 jcamins            ambz: it is an incredibly expensive service.
13:11 jcamins            A few libraries use the OCLC Z39.50 servers, but most use Connexion and upload the records to Koha, I think.
13:14 oleonard           Hi #koha
13:17 tcohen             hi oleonard
13:35 magnuse            jcamins: Bug 9250 is signed off and i did a followup for koha-common.xml. should it be "signed off" or "needs signoff", because of the followup?
13:35 huginn             04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9250 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, robin, Signed Off , Provide commands to allow handling of SIP servers in the packages
13:36 jcamins            Signed off is fine.
13:36 magnuse            cool, thanks
13:40 wajasu             for coding standards.  can i return?   @lines     or must it be    \@lines
13:41 tcohen             the semantics is quite different, isnt'
13:42 jcamins            It is very different.
13:42 jcamins            If you have a choice of using either, use \@lines.
13:43 tcohen             i'd use \@lines to avoid copy operations
13:43 jcamins            Exactly.
13:44 wajasu             i replaced  text::wrap with a subroutine that wraps proportionally for barcode labels to get more words per line, as it was using a fixed char width.
13:47 ambz               jcamins, thanks for the info

14:29 huginn             senator: The current temperature in Gooseberry Hill, Gooseberry Hill, Western Australia is 19.0°C (9:35 PM WST on March 05, 2013). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 86%. Dew Point: 17.0°C. Pressure: 29.95 in 1014 hPa (Steady).
14:29 fabio_t            I have a problem with retrieving item information via Koha OAI-PMH server
14:29 kf                 fabio_t: it does not work with itmes currently I think
14:32 fabio_t            I successfully made a mapping with 995 (mine is  an UNIMARC installation) to define an OAI set
14:32 kf                 fabio_t: I think the mappings are different from the output
14:32 kf                 the mappings define the records in the set - iirc
14:32 fabio_t            and I ran into this: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6440
14:32 huginn             04Bug 6440: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, julian.maurice, CLOSED FIXED, Koha's OAI-PMH does not support sets
14:33 fabio_t            oh
14:33 kf                 we also noticed that no item information is output currently, I think it woudl not be hard to do
14:34 kf                 but it might not be a bug but an enhancement
14:34 fabio_t            ok
14:34 kf                 youc oudl file a bug
14:34 fabio_t            I was wondering if it was a matter of XSLT
14:35 fabio_t            maybe something wrong in UNIMARCslim2OAIDC.xsl
14:35 kf                 I think it might have to do with the changes made on storing items
14:35 kf                 but I have not investigated yet
14:36 fabio_t            ok so the problem could be on the database level
14:37 kf                 it's a bit complicated, not really the database
14:37 kf                 if waht I think is right
14:37 kf                 *shrug*
14:37 kf                 Ithink the best starting point would be a bug
14:38 fabio_t            I figured out since the mapping on item worked, there could be just a problem in on the fly conversion from UNIMARC to Dublin Core - I was wrong
14:39 fabio_t            thanks anyway for helping
14:39 kf                 hm
14:39 kf                 not sure, but I guess the info is missing too if you look at the xml format?
14:39 fabio_t            nice point
14:39 kf                 it could have different reasons - I didn't wnt to be confusing... just confirming that we have noticed it too
14:40 fabio_t            I'm going to retrieve data with marcxml instead of oai_dc and I'll know you
14:40 fabio_t            * I let you know
14:42 fabio_t            yes, you're right
14:43 fabio_t            no 995 in marcxml aswell
14:47 fabio_t            I will file a bug
14:47 fabio_t            thanks again kf
14:47 fabio_t            kf++
14:47 kf                 hm didn't do much :)
14:48 fabio_t            I googled and I didn't find these "insider" informations
14:48 fabio_t            so you definitely helped me
14:48 fabio_t            :)
14:49 kf                 :)

14:57 kf                 um
15:04 magnuse            it is extremely narrow, though
15:07 magnuse            in http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=etc/zebradb/retrieval-info-bib-grs1.xml;h=f1f8898650bbdcbe9a20c67c9fc0fea7223475f8;hb=HEAD - does <retrieval syntax="xml" name="utils"> and <xslt stylesheet="__INTRANET_TMPL_DIR__/prog/en/xslt/MARC21slimUtils.xsl"/> make any kind of sense?
15:07 magnuse            isn't MARC21slimUtils.xsl just "functions" that are used by other stylesheets?
15:08 kf                 hm yes you have to refer it I think?
15:08 kf                 not sure how the conf file works really
15:10 magnuse            looks like gmcharlt put those lines in there...
15:10 * oleonard         prepares his blaming finger
15:14 drojf              using a ! in search not working is not my fault, right? i suppose it's like the () problem?
15:16 kf                 I'd guess so
15:17 * kf               is optimistic to pass qa on the query parser sometime this week

15:36 magnuse            yay!
15:52 nengard            hey did anyone notice that IRSpy seems to say 'untested' for a ton of targets?
15:52 nengard            sites that I used in the past cause they said 100% now say 'untested'
15:52 nengard            anyone know what's up with that?
15:53 jcamins            nengard: I'd guess they refreshed their database.
15:53 oleonard           Maybe they do periodic re-testing and ratings get re-set?
15:53 jcamins            The tests are done one at a time, I think, so if they are retesting everything, it could be months before they catch up.

17:52 jlozano            hello, everyone!
17:52 oleonard           Hi jlozano
17:53 jlozano            anybody know a free dewey number generator?
17:54 oleonard           What is a dewey number generator?
17:54 jlozano            sorry, not really a Koha question I guess.
17:55 jlozano            yeah, so if you are using the Dewey Decimal System, when you get a book it gives you the number you should give it.
17:55 jlozano            like ...000 re general knowledge.
17:55 jlozano            100 are psychology and Philosphy.
17:57 rambutan           so how does that work? You feed it the title of a book or the ISBN and it returns the correct Dewey number? So it would be more like a lookup table?
17:57 jlozano            umm. kind of.. so for example.
17:57 jlozano            The writings of Mark Twain
17:58 jlozano            gets: 818.4 T911W
17:58 oleonard           jlozano: How would that work without a complete catalog of all titles in existence?
17:58 jlozano            8 because its Literature.
17:58 jlozano            and the rest is based on author
17:58 jlozano            and the last number is based on the title.
17:59 jlozano            so it's kind of a formula to get the number.
17:59 jlozano            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewey_Decimal_Classification
18:00 jlozano            so you get software to do it for you.
18:00 oleonard           jlozano: Do you have an example of non-free software which does this?
18:02 oleonard           jlozano: What you describe sounds like cataloging.
18:02 jlozano            yeah, Sirsi Dynex has it.
18:02 jlozano            It's most definitely cataloging.
18:03 jlozano            it tells you where to put the book in the shelves.
18:03 jlozano            (if you are using Dewey)
18:03 oleonard           jlozano: Yes, I know what the Dewey Decimal System is.
18:04 jlozano            I didn't mean to elude you didn't, I'm sorry.
18:07 jlozano            I guess the question that originally brought that up because we want to switch to koha but can't really get the dewey numbers
18:15 rambutan           jlozano: so you clearly want something less than the marc record, which can be downloaded from various places, right?
18:21 oleonard           I'm I crazy to think that a computer cannot automatically generate a Dewey number out of thin air?
18:22 rambutan           donno, there are some good programmers out there

19:18 bgkriegel          hello
19:23 oleonard           Hi bgkriegel
19:35 jcamins            oleonard: computers cannot assign DDC numbers when given the name of the book, but they can look up the number mapped to a particular subject.
19:35 oleonard           I wonder if that's what jlozano was talking about...
19:36 jcamins            I think it was.
19:37 oleonard           Wouldn't such software have to be licensed by OCLC?
19:37 jcamins            It would, yes.
19:37 jcamins            The answer is "no, there is no free software, and never will be."
19:38 * jcamins          would sugggest that perhaps some of the money being saved on the ILS should go toward Cataloger's Desktop.
19:38 jcamins            Except he's gone.
19:39 * jcamins          has a feeling of deja vu.
19:39 jcamins            Didn't I already say that?
19:40 ibeardslee         a glitch in the matrix?
19:42 nengard            hi all, is there a way to find out what type of koha install a system is on?
19:42 magnuse            nengard: you mean packages, tarball etc?
19:43 nengard            or dev/git - yes
19:44 nengard            so i'm on the server and was going to do a git pull
19:44 jcamins            Only if you have access to the server.
19:44 nengard            but don't want to break anything if it was not a git install
19:44 nengard            yeah i'm on the server
19:44 jcamins            Oh.
19:44 jcamins            Well, you can check if it's a package install by running `koha-list`
19:44 jcamins            If it lists your instance, it's a package install.
19:45 jcamins            Or you could simply look in your Apache config, which is what I would do.
19:45 jcamins            (if you prefer not to do that, you can probably conclude that it's a standard install if you do not have a koha-list command and do have something in /usr/share/koha
19:46 nengard            in which directory
19:47 nengard            okay i do have usr/share/koha
19:47 nengard            what i guess i need to know is how to find the koha directory?
19:47 nengard            like on mine I cd kohaclone
19:47 jcamins            Huh?
19:47 magnuse            no output from koha-list?
19:48 magnuse            mibbit-- ;-)
19:49 nengard            how much of thaqt did you get? I was just kicked out
19:49 nengard            yeah i'm not on my computer
19:49 magnuse            <nengard> in which directory
19:49 magnuse            <nengard> okay i do have usr/share/koha
19:49 magnuse            <nengard> what i guess i need to know is how to find the koha directory?
19:49 magnuse            <nengard> like on mine I cd kohaclone
19:49 magnuse            <jcamins> Huh?
19:49 magnuse            <magnuse> no output from koha-list?
19:49 nengard            koha-koha@WW-R-ITLWDW1K5M:/usr/share/koha$ koha-list bash: koha-list: command not found
19:50 nengard            did you get any of what i said about version and disney and such? or was that all lost by mibbit?
19:50 magnuse            not a package install then
19:50 magnuse            nothing about version or disney
19:50 nengard            grrr
19:51 * magnuse          gotta run
19:51 jcamins            It is not a package install.
19:51 jcamins            If you have /usr/share/koha, chances are good it's a standard install.
19:51 jcamins            But that is in no way definite.
19:51 jcamins            You'd have to either look in the Apache configs -- keeping in mind that they may not help either -- or talk to whoever set it up.
19:52 nengard            let me try again
19:52 nengard            i'm at disney helping with koha - they want to upgrade and are on version 3.9.4 and want to be on master
19:52 nengard            i was going to do a git pull
19:52 nengard            but wasn't sure if i should
19:52 nengard            and it sounds like i can cause it's not a package install
19:52 nengard            the person who set it up has left here
19:52 nengard            that's why i was helping :)
19:52 nengard            so i do have a usr/share/koha folder
19:52 jcamins            It's probably a standard install, then.
19:52 jcamins            However, if this is Disney, you can't simply upgrade them.
19:53 nengard            so next question - on my install i have a kohaclone folder - but i don't see one of those here
19:53 jcamins            They have indexing customizations.
19:53 nengard            they do?
19:53 nengard            do they know that? :)
19:53 jcamins            Pretty sure what's-his-name from Disney sent me a copy at some point.
19:53 nengard            david
19:53 jcamins            That's the one.
19:53 nengard            he's on the phone
19:54 jcamins            Ask him A) how he installed Koha, and B) whether they have any customizations.
19:54 jcamins            They might not.
19:54 jcamins            But I have a recollection of him adding some indexing on 010 for authorities.
19:55 nengard            i'll ask him when he hangs up
19:55 nengard            and grrr
19:55 nengard            okay - he can't save reports cause of a bug in 3.9.4
19:55 nengard            so what do i tell him as far as upgrading goes if he can't do aa simple pull?
19:55 nengard            a) he didnt' do it - his IT guy who has left did it
19:55 nengard            b) will ask in a sec - he's on the phone
19:55 nengard            hmmm
19:55 bgkriegel          nengard: if there is a file /usr/share/koha/misc/koha-install-log, the installed version is there
19:55 nengard            i can probably find that
19:55 nengard            isn't there a file i can look for that
19:55 nengard            bgkriegel yup that's there
19:56 jcamins            Ask him about customizations.
19:56 nengard            he's still on phone
19:56 nengard            will as soon as he hangs up
19:56 nengard            auth index mode is DOM
19:57 nengard            according to koha-install-log
19:57 jcamins            That was a response to the questio you asked several minutes ago.
19:57 jcamins            I have a long delay.
19:57 nengard            oh!
19:58 jcamins            And the delay comes and goes, so for example I saw David's name right away, but nothing you said after that for several minutes.
19:58 nengard            hmm
19:59 jcamins            If they don't have any customizations, you can just follow the standard upgrade instructions.
19:59 jcamins            If they do, I wouldn't be willing to offer any advice without access to their server.
19:59 nengard            jcamins they never got the indexing rule to work
20:00 jcamins            In that case, they probably wouldn't care about blowing it away.
20:00 jcamins            So, standard upgrade procedure.
20:01 * Guest930         waves
20:02 jcamins            Obviously you'll want to make _very_ sure they're certain, and take a backup, because there is no "rollback installation" functionality built into Linux.
20:03 wizzyrea           oleonard: re: bug 9534 - do you have a preference?
20:03 huginn             04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9534 trivial, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , No way to get back to bib detail from edit record screen
20:03 * wizzyrea         saw your comment
20:04 nengard            got kicked again
20:04 nengard            did someone answer me about where they upgrade instructions were?
20:04 nengard            i'm not seeing them searching the wiki
20:04 jcamins            INSTALL.debian. They haven't been moved.
20:04 bgkriegel          oh, in INSTALL file
20:04 nengard            i've never used them :)
20:05 bgkriegel          perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /path/to/koha-install-log
20:05 nengard            what's that gonna do
20:06 bgkriegel          nicol, you miss this comment from jcamins "Obviously you'll want to make _very_ sure they're certain, and take a backup, because there is no "rollback installation" functionality built into Linux."
20:06 nengard            i have a backup
20:08 bgkriegel          well, the command will look you previous selections, and act accordingly
20:08 bgkriegel          user, folders, etc
20:13 nengard            okay, either i'm just too tired/sick or i'm missing something
20:13 nengard            i'm looking at the UPGRADE section of INSTALL.debian
20:13 nengard            but I don't see any commands to upgrade
20:14 nengard            just to check for dependencies and install template toolkit
20:14 nengard            http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=INSTALL.debian;h=4547974952d8730cefc04b570450dc318cc84587;hb=HEAD
20:14 nengard            line 321
20:14 wizzyrea           no, line 336
20:15 wizzyrea           340 even
20:15 nengard            336 says to install template toolkit
20:15 * wizzyrea         was looking at the wrong branch
20:15 nengard            oh!
20:15 nengard            so, that's a documentation issue :) to the un-educated user that looks like it's part of the installing template toolkit to me
20:15 nengard            thank you
20:16 nengard            okay - system backed up
20:16 nengard            db backed up
20:16 nengard            and now i'm just scared to upgrade
20:16 nengard            don't want to break this on him
20:16 nengard            i've only ever done git fetch
20:16 wizzyrea           well...
20:16 nengard            well... :)
20:16 wizzyrea           welcome to being a system administrator?
20:16 nengard            hehe
20:16 nengard            which i am not
20:17 wizzyrea           you can always give them the instructions and say
20:17 wizzyrea           you do this part.
20:17 wizzyrea           then it's on them.
20:17 jcamins            Every time you upgrade a git install, you need to go through the upgrade procedure.
20:17 wizzyrea           unless they are paying YOU to do it, of course
20:18 nengard            okay question
20:18 wizzyrea           do we have a wiki page about that?
20:18 wahanui            well, question is "What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?"
20:18 wizzyrea           42.
20:18 nengard            i have a backup of the entire system - and a db backup
20:18 nengard            if i were to totally screw this up
20:18 nengard            can someone walk us/him through restoring from the backup?
20:18 nengard            i dont even know how to do that
20:18 jcamins            wizzyrea: I doubt it. After all, the instructions say very clearly "UPGRADE."
20:19 wizzyrea           no i meant about "how to upgrade a git installation"
20:19 jcamins            nengard: I am sure you could pay someone.
20:19 jcamins            wizzyrea: right, you follow the exact same instructions.
20:19 nengard            when i'm on my VM i type 'git fetch' and then 'git rebase origin' and then go to the browser and upgrade
20:19 wizzyrea           I'm not sure that's clear to everybody.
20:19 jcamins            Right, that doesn't actually do the whole upgrade.
20:19 nengard            i've never typed the commands i see under UPGRADE in that doc
20:19 wizzyrea           (obviously)
20:20 jcamins            Patches are welcome.
20:20 wizzyrea           to be clear I'm not asking you to fix it - I'm only asking if there is work that needs to be done :P
20:20 nengard            grrr
20:20 wizzyrea           in that area
20:20 nengard            keeps kicking me out
20:21 jcamins            I would have said "no," because it never occurred to me to ignore the instructions.
20:21 wizzyrea           the answer to that, is clearly "yes"
20:21 nengard            yes agreed with wizzyrea and i would patch if i understood what was going on :)
20:21 jcamins            But... maybe?
20:26 nengard            hmmm
20:26 nengard            something is funky here
20:26 nengard            bash: apt-get install: command not found
20:28 wizzyrea           sudo?
20:28 wahanui            well, sudo is just so people wont rm -rfrandom stuff or http://xkcd.com/149/
20:31 wizzyrea           also perhaps it's not debian?
20:32 cjh                too slow :)
20:35 nengard            okay question
20:35 wahanui            question is "What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?"
20:39 wizzyrea           shoot
20:41 nengard            grr
20:41 nengard            stop that
20:42 nengard            were my questions coming through before
20:43 oleonard           logs?
20:43 wahanui            logs is, like, http://irc.koha-community.org/irclog/koha/
20:44 nengard            am i here
20:44 nengard            does mibbit suck? :)
20:44 nengard            so mibbit sucks
20:44 nengard            okay
20:44 wizzyrea           you are here now
20:48 nengard            let's try this
20:48 nengard            no more mibbit
20:48 nengard            so i was trying to ask the following
20:48 nengard            where is makefile.pl ? i'm not finding it when i locate -i makefile
20:49 wizzyrea           capitalised.
20:49 wizzyrea           Makefile.pl
20:49 nengard            nothing
20:49 cait               it's in your koha directory
20:49 wizzyrea           then it's in the root of your kohaclone.
20:49 jcamins            Makefile.PL
20:49 cait               yep
20:49 wizzyrea           PL sorry
20:50 jcamins            P and L are capitalized.
20:50 wizzyrea           but it says that in the instructions anyway.
20:50 jcamins            Wherever you downloaded Koha to, that's where it is.
20:50 nengard            where do find the root of kohaclone - remember i didn't install this
20:50 nengard            i found usr/share/koha
20:50 wizzyrea           I think you should not be attempting this.
20:50 nengard            but i don't see kohaclone
20:50 nengard            i agree
20:50 nengard            but he's gonna ask the same questions
20:50 nengard            cause he has no one to upgrade him and he can't save reports
20:50 nengard            cause of a bug that was in 3.9.4
20:51 nengard            which he's on
20:51 nengard            so what do i recommend?
20:51 jcamins            A support vendor?
20:51 wizzyrea           I recommend that he pay someone to do it (like your esteemed colleagues)
20:51 wizzyrea           remember, open source isn't about cost, it's about freedom.
20:51 * jcamins          favors C & P, but you might be partial to this other company I've heard of. ;)
20:51 nengard            hmmm
20:52 nengard            :p
20:52 wizzyrea           i mean, the poor fella is on a standard install, that is master
20:52 nengard            i agree
20:52 wizzyrea           or a previous development version
20:52 nengard            he's a one person library
20:52 wizzyrea           the other option is
20:52 nengard            no budget
20:52 wizzyrea           to find the patch
20:52 jcamins            I have bad news: I need to put New Zealand in the same category as Australia.
20:52 wizzyrea           that fixed it
20:52 wizzyrea           the awesome category?
20:53 jcamins            Actually, it was the Wine-Australian category.
20:53 jcamins            I think I might make it the Wine-Oceania category.
20:53 wizzyrea           oh it's like anywhere, there's awesome wine and not awesome wine here.
20:53 wizzyrea           and from here.
20:54 wizzyrea           but seriously nengard - if their ILS is important, and it always is
20:54 wizzyrea           doing it right is worth the money.
20:54 nengard            of course
20:54 nengard            i agree
20:54 nengard            was just trying to be helpful
20:54 nengard            if i could
20:54 jcamins            Apparently it used to be really hard to develop an expertise in wine in NZ.
20:54 wizzyrea           i get that, but I think this is probably not something you want to be responsible for
20:55 wizzyrea           and is probably beyond the scope of "free support on the internet"
20:55 jcamins            Back in 1985, I don't think they were discussing wine internationally on the internet.
20:55 drojf              break it for free, repair it in your spare time
20:56 drojf              jcamins: yay for the future we live in
20:57 jcamins            drojf: indeed.
20:57 jcamins            Not that there's any way to taste wine over IRC.
20:57 jcamins            Alas.
20:58 drojf              …yet!
20:59 druthb             cait and I keep working on a teleportation device.  I have the software just about hacked, but she's hit a snag on hardware.
20:59 drojf              nengard: wouldn't it be easier to take the data backup, throw away whatever koha that is and install packages? they could probably do that themselves
20:59 wizzyrea           yea, it's a lot easier to upgrade packages too
20:59 wizzyrea           as in apt-get upgrade koha-common
20:59 wizzyrea           easy.
21:00 wizzyrea           plus the cron jobs are all taken care of for you
21:00 wizzyrea           you only get stable releases
21:00 drojf              i walked 20 people through package installation lately, most of them never used linux and/or command line stuff before
21:00 trea               that was going to be my suggestion
21:01 * joltt            test
21:01 trea               dump the data, install on packages, and run the upgrade
21:01 trea               problem solved
21:01 nengard            okay folks we are on a package install
21:01 wizzyrea           ...
21:02 nengard            so...
21:02 nengard            now ...
21:02 trea               sudo apt-get upgrade koha-common
21:02 nengard            do i just do that
21:02 wizzyrea           what's in your apt-sources.list
21:02 nengard            hehe
21:02 nengard            i was typing that trea
21:02 * wizzyrea         suspects it's not got the main
21:02 wizzyrea           but the dev.
21:02 nengard            debian.koha-community ? blah blah
21:03 drojf              what wizzyrea says
21:03 nengard            it's the dev package
21:03 wizzyrea           no, the blah blah is important
21:03 drojf              the blabla is the important part
21:03 wizzyrea           what does it say
21:03 drojf              :D
21:03 nengard            koha/squeeze-dev
21:03 drojf              look
21:04 wizzyrea           you probably want squeeze-main
21:04 wizzyrea           and the keys changed recently, eythian sent out keys
21:04 wajasu             chrin_n: ok. i got proportional font wrap for labels working.  i wonder if i should make it so if you specify justify='Center', the left_text-margin is ignored, and only applies to the barcode so that one can center the barcode
21:04 nengard            okay but if he just wanted to upgrade what he has now
21:04 nengard            then it's just what trea said
21:04 wizzyrea           i don't think we're making dev packages right now?
21:04 drojf              he does not want taht
21:04 trea               but that's still a dev install
21:04 trea               why would he do that
21:04 nengard            he's a solo librarian it's not a public catalog he just wants the darn thing to let him save reports right now
21:04 nengard            i agree with you all
21:04 nengard            he should be on stable/main
21:05 wajasu             chris_n:ok. i got proportional font wrap for labels working. i wonder if i should make it so if you specify justify='Center', the left_text-margin is ignored, and only applies to the barcode so that one can center the barcode
21:05 nengard            but if the only thing i can do for free to help him is upgrade him - will apt-get upgrade do it?
21:05 nengard            or are we saying we don't have an updated version of that package
21:05 nengard            cause we're not doing it anymore?
21:05 drojf              that will give him another weird version
21:05 trea               and if you do that, then next time, instead of reports not working it will be something else.
21:05 nengard            or am i maiking no sense
21:05 chris_n            wajasu: that sounds like a good idea
21:05 * magnuse          should have specified "*sudo* koha-list" if you want to check if you are on a package install
21:05 nengard            oops
21:05 drojf              that cleared that up :D
21:06 chris_n            wajasu: thanks for working on that :)
21:06 wizzyrea           sure, try it. debian.koha-community.org says that squeeze-dev was last generated 28 feb
21:06 wizzyrea           no idea what you'll get though.
21:06 nengard            can we upgrade from dev to main?
21:07 wizzyrea           eythian would have better advice on that - he's not in yet
21:07 nengard            or should we (spitballing here) update the dev package and then when 3.12 comes out start a new machine with stable and keep him stable from there
21:07 nengard            this from the linux expert talking over my shoulder :)
21:07 wizzyrea           you should always run stable
21:08 nengard            how do i get to stable from here then?
21:08 drojf              nengard:  put in  'deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha squeeze main', make a apt-get update and then upgrade. that will give you 3.10. if that is 3.9.something now it is a newer version and should be alright. downgrading from dev to older stable would be weird maybe
21:08 nengard            that was a suggestion to get to stable eventually - we're open t suggestions
21:09 drojf              squeeze is stable
21:09 magnuse            nengard: "sudo apt-cache policy koha-common" should tell you what version you get if you upgrade
21:09 nengard            i'm on squeeze-dev
21:09 drojf              that is why you should change the /etc/apt/source.list entry :)
21:10 nengard            magnuse it says 3.9.1 is installed and 3.9.1 is the candidate
21:10 nengard            so there is no upgrade?
21:10 wizzyrea           (because you are on dev)
21:10 nengard            right
21:10 nengard            so what drojf said ? that will get me on stable?
21:10 wajasu             chris_n: i coded it so if text_wrap_cols = 0, which it isn't now, since its calculated, it will truncate without wrapping, but we'd need to add a way to configure truncation, but thats for another day.
21:11 drojf              nengard: yes
21:11 nengard            okey dokey
21:11 drojf              nengard: and btw i have done that once or twice without problems, i do not recall the versions though
21:11 magnuse            nengard: you might need to do "sudo apt-get update"
21:12 magnuse            ... if it has not been done in a while
21:12 chris_n            wajasu: sounds good
21:13 nengard            magnuse and all doing that now
21:13 nengard            the update
21:13 wahanui            the update is probably good because it tells people a new syspref has been added
21:13 nengard            silly bot
21:13 drojf              wahanui: forget the update
21:13 wahanui            drojf: I forgot update
21:14 * wizzyrea         defers to magnuse on things packages
21:14 magnuse            eeek! ;-)
21:15 wajasu             chris_n: is it worth working on putting support for a unicode font [another patch] (configurable path), and embedding it in the PDF, so we might get diacritics working? or is that too much?
21:15 nengard            okay update isn't working ? i get an error:
21:15 drojf              new gpg key?
21:16 drojf              (just guessing)
21:16 nengard            failed to fetch htt://debian.koha-commuinty.org/koha/dists/squeeze0main/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2
21:16 nengard            oh you did say there were new keys
21:16 chris_n            wajasu: it would probably be worth the trouble, but would require having the particular font installed on one's koha server
21:16 cjh                nengard: ahh your apt sources entry sounds wrong
21:16 cjh                squeeze0main should be squeeze/main
21:16 drojf              there shouldn't be a 0 there and it is community
21:16 chris_n            wajasu: seems I encountered some resistance to that back in the day
21:16 drojf              and http
21:16 jcamins            And it should be http://
21:16 cjh                also what drojf mentioned, missed that :)
21:16 jcamins            wajasu: do it in two patches if you must.
21:17 chris_n            but I'm sure there would be lots of folks who would happily install said fonts if that resolved the issue
21:17 magnuse            i agree with drojf: make sure "deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha squeeze main" is in "/etc/apt/sources.list", then "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" should give you 3.10.x
21:17 jcamins            There were concerns about dependencies
21:17 chris_n            jcamins: in reference to ?
21:17 wajasu             two patches of course.
21:18 * chris_n          did not read back far enough
21:18 jcamins            chris_n: the fonts.
21:18 jcamins            They may not be installable.
21:18 jcamins            Or something.
21:18 wahanui            it has been said that something is wrong....
21:19 chris_n            jcamins: installing fonts would be the user's responsibility
21:19 chris_n            we should not put them in the repo I thnk
21:19 chris_n            wahanui: forget something
21:19 wahanui            chris_n: I forgot something
21:19 wajasu             i'd just make it syspref configurable and it would depend on the font/path being available and the user's responsibility (i.e. optional)
21:19 jcamins            As long as it will continue to work as it has for people who don't have the fonts, and as long as that's in a separate patch, if it can get signed off and QAed before the freeze, I'll accept it.
21:19 chris_n            I took wajasu's suggestion as adding a configurable path syspref
21:20 jcamins            Ah. That'd work for me.
21:20 chris_n            yes, the current action should be default
21:20 magnuse            nengard: and by all means do a mysqldump first :-)
21:20 * magnuse          wishes #koha a good $time_of_day
21:21 nengard            of course did that already
21:22 drojf              magnuse: good night, if that was a goodbye ;)
21:24 nengard            okay bash: deb: command not found
21:25 wizzyrea           make sure "deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha squeeze main" is in "/etc/apt/sources.list",
21:25 drojf              the line with 'deb' goes into /etc/apt/sources.list
21:25 wizzyrea           says magnuse
21:25 drojf              not in the command line
21:26 drojf              it is supposed to replace the line with koha squeeze-dev blahblah
21:27 nengard            oh it's there
21:27 nengard            and i think i give up
21:27 nengard            thanks guys
21:27 drojf              oh. you're so close!
21:27 nengard            am i really
21:27 drojf              yes
21:27 nengard            why do i keep getting errors :(
21:28 nengard            okay tell me what to try next
21:28 wizzyrea           sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
21:28 cjh                and show us the error :)
21:28 wizzyrea           because you keep typing the wrong thing in the wrong place :P
21:28 nengard            okay trying again
21:28 wizzyrea           or you can omit the &&
21:28 wizzyrea           and do each one at a time
21:28 wizzyrea           sudo apt-get update
21:28 wizzyrea           sudo apt-get upgrade
21:29 drojf              i think the gpg key changed so that may be good for another error message maybe. but tell us what you get after sudo apt-get update
21:29 wizzyrea           yea, you might need a new key

21:31 nengard            yes
21:31 wizzyrea           do you have software center running?
21:31 wizzyrea           or update manager/
21:31 drojf              yeah that has to go
21:31 nengard            synaptic is running
21:31 cjh                make sure all other package management software is closed
21:31 drojf              synaptic or whatever
21:31 wizzyrea           make it go away
21:31 nengard            okay i did
21:32 nengard            now what?
21:32 wahanui            rumour has it now is good time with holidays coming up
21:32 drojf              repear the last command

21:32 nengard            no wait

21:34 jcamins            A full-text indexer.
21:34 nengard            i don't know what is it?
21:35 nengard            killing is okay?
21:35 jcamins            Probably the server is used for a lot of other things, too.
21:35 tcohen             its like zebra, but for packages info
21:35 drojf              jcamins: not anymore HAHAH
21:35 nengard            so we are okay with the killing??
21:35 nengard            won't break anything?
21:35 tcohen             of course :-P
21:35 nengard            that's not encouraging
21:35 tcohen             it will break indexes, which will be rebuilt on update

21:38 drojf              that bzip2 sub process thing looks weird too

21:39 tcohen             what does sudo apt-get -f install do?
21:39 drojf              do you think the opl person knows what other things are running on that machine=

21:40 tcohen             there have been some tls and ssl updates recently on debian/ubuntu, what are thse updates?
21:41 nengard            opl = one person library - sorry getting tired here
21:41 nengard            yes it's Disney and the's a one person librarian and he didn't do the install
21:41 nengard            so he's not sure
21:41 nengard            the guy who did install left
21:41 nengard            and a new guy is here who will help us once we get back on stable
21:42 tcohen             u tried the sudo apt-get upgrade command, right?
21:42 nengard            not yet
21:42 nengard            update kept throwing errors
21:42 nengard            so i was waiting to do that until update worked
21:43 jcamins            apt-get upgrade will not actually upgrade Koha.
21:43 jcamins            New dependencies.
21:43 wahanui            new dependencies are optional.
21:43 nengard            so i should do that even if apt-get update failed
21:43 nengard            just confirming
21:44 tcohen             is there something about keyring or tls?
21:44 eythian            I'm suspicious that you're behind a proxy or something
21:44 eythian            tcohen: the indexes aren't downloading properly
21:44 tcohen             a proxy breaking files
21:44 nengard            eythian it's possible the librarian isn't sure ?
21:44 nengard            we are behind a firewall
21:44 eythian            if you run 'GET http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/', what do you see?
21:44 eythian            you should see lines like "<head><title>Index of /debian/</title></head>"
21:45 jcamins            Do you know, I never knew about the GET command.
21:45 jcamins            That's very cool!

21:47 nengard            lunch is churning in my tummy so i appreciate all the help!!
21:47 eythian            weird, you get different results to me, but it still looks correct.
21:49 nengard            so where do we go from here
21:49 tcohen             which package contains GET and POST commands? didn't know them
21:49 jcamins            tcohen: libwww-perl, apparently.
21:49 eythian            wait
21:49 eythian            you have two sets of deb lines hitting different servers but fetching the same stuff
21:49 eythian            paste your sources.list file?
21:49 nengard            uh oh
21:50 pastebot           "nengard" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "sources - you're right it's in there 2 times" (27 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/426
21:51 eythian            hmm
21:51 eythian            no, I think that looks OK
21:51 * eythian          checks my VM
21:51 nengard            i'll brb - don't go away - i'll be super quick
21:52 eythian            yeah, that should be OK.
21:52 wizzyrea           hi irma - I got  your request taken care of :)
21:52 Irma               hi wizzyrea thanks :-)
21:54 eythian            nengard: is there anything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
21:54 eythian            ?
21:54 eythian            I don't think this will be the problem, but it'd pay to check
21:54 nengard            back
21:54 eythian            basically, there is Something Wrong with either your current package cache, or with your network that's causing flakey downloads.
21:55 nengard            eythian nothing
21:55 nengard            wait
21:55 nengard            typo
21:55 nengard            nope, nothing
21:56 nengard            i couldn't do a fetch from git on my laptop vm - so it  might be the latter ? network flakey
21:57 eythian            yeah. let me thing of a test...
21:57 eythian            think
21:57 tcohen             pichu
21:57 eythian            maccu?
21:57 nengard            ?
21:57 rambutan           nengard: I'm only half-way following the topic here, but would using >sudo apt-get dist-upgrade help your problem?
21:57 rambutan           http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=80324
21:57 eythian            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macchu_pichu <-- bad spelling
21:57 eythian            rambutan: no, it probably wouldn't
21:58 nengard            rambutan i don't know
21:58 nengard            what he said
21:58 jcamins            It's like Marco Polo, except instead of being a child's swimming game, it's a historic ruin in Peru.

21:59 tcohen             it was jcamins
22:00 jcamins            :)
22:00 tcohen             i had window focus problem, talking to one pichu
22:00 jcamins            Oh, I thought I just didn't understand what you were saying. ;)

22:01 nengard            oops
22:01 tcohen             nengard: if repeating for koha's repo gives the same error, its a proxy problem
22:01 pastebot           "nengard" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "eythian" (17 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/429
22:02 eythian            that suggests it's not a proxy problem
22:03 * eythian          tries something
22:03 tcohen             or it just got fixed :-P
22:03 eythian            possible :)
22:05 eythian            nengard: paste the results of ls -lh /var/lib/apt/lists

22:07 eythian            type this one very carefully: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*
22:07 eythian            you should get a warning: rm: cannot remove `partial': Is a directory
22:07 nengard            heh
22:07 eythian            that's OK
22:07 nengard            not scared at all
22:07 wizzyrea           incidentally, the patch for the problem you ahve is here: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8128

22:10 wizzyrea           we aren't concerned by
22:10 wizzyrea           W: GPG error: http://debian.koha-community.org squeeze Release: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2 doesn't it seem odd that they keys have nodata?
22:11 eythian            wizzyrea: no
22:11 eythian            because that's just a symptom
22:11 wizzyrea           alright then.
22:11 eythian            the real issue is whatever is causing: 87% [2 Translation-en bzip2 0 B] [Waiting for headers] [Waiting for headers] [Waiting for headers] [8 Release.gpg 0 B/1bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
22:11 nengard            hmm
22:11 eythian            nengard: when it's saying "Waiting for headers", does it take a long time?
22:11 eythian            or is it really quick?
22:12 eythian            (like, is it 1 second or more like 10)
22:12 wizzyrea           i wonder if she should try using the gui management for this?
22:12 wizzyrea           for her sources.
22:12 eythian            wizzyrea: it all uses the same stuff on the backend
22:12 eythian            only, makes it harder to see the errors
22:12 wizzyrea           sure but... it was running earlier
22:13 eythian            was it working though?
22:13 wizzyrea           I can't tell you that. The sources she pasted were quite old
22:14 wizzyrea           so I'd guess "no"
22:14 eythian            the GUI tools will run, but I'd expect them to have the same errors when you tell it to update the package list.
22:15 drojf              there wouldn't be no space left on the device?
22:15 nengard            am i supposed to follow this? :)
22:15 eythian            drojf: worth a check
22:16 eythian            nengard: parts of it, yes
22:16 eythian            <eythian> nengard: when it's saying "Waiting for headers", does it take a long time?
22:16 eythian            <eythian> or is it really quick?
22:16 eythian            <eythian> (like, is it 1 second or more like 10)
22:16 eythian            like that bit.
22:16 eythian            also, paste the output of df -h
22:16 drojf              and after what eythian says, what does 'df -h' say?
22:16 drojf              heh
22:16 eythian            snap
22:16 nengard            sorry - phone
22:16 nengard            not it's not that long at all
22:16 tcohen             sudo apt-get install debian-keyring

22:17 drojf              lol
22:17 nengard            NO WAY
22:17 eythian            hey you know what's suspect
22:17 tcohen             :-P
22:18 eythian            Get:32 http://ftp.us.debian.org squeeze/main Sources [1,513 B]

22:18 nengard            do i install the keyring thing?
22:18 eythian            all those files are coming out at the same size
22:18 nengard            or was that a joke too
22:18 eythian            it won't help
22:18 eythian            Get:29 http://debian.koha-community.org squeeze/main i386 Packages [1,513 B]
22:18 eythian            that's also the same size.
22:18 eythian            it's almost certainly network related shenanigans
22:18 tcohen             wget -O -
22:18 eythian            tcohen: scroll up, tried that
22:19 eythian            (and it worked which is strange)
22:19 wizzyrea           maybe not, the packet was less than 1513B?
22:19 * wizzyrea         doesn't know, just speculating
22:19 jcamins            I wonder what the proxy is sending... I'm guessing "This site's security policy does not allow access to these resources. The attempted security breach has been logged."
22:20 eythian            wizzyrea: they shouldn't all be the same size though
22:20 eythian            I hate how apt doesn't tell you the actual file it's fetching
22:20 wizzyrea           no i meant for the -O_
22:20 eythian            -O - just puts output to stdout
22:21 wizzyrea           we are talking past each other
22:21 eythian            possibly :)
22:21 wizzyrea           it's fine, not important.
22:21 wizzyrea           :)
22:21 tcohen             wget -O- http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2
22:21 drojf              unfortunately i got this mickey mouse march from full metal jacket stuck in my head now. thanks disney :p
22:21 nengard            do i do that
22:21 tcohen             try the wget again
22:22 wizzyrea           it is a huge corp, we can only assume that they have mad security schemes
22:22 drojf              they have their own disnet
22:23 nengard            um
22:23 tcohen             fmj, great movie BTW
22:23 nengard            that doesn't look good
22:23 nengard            the wget thing
22:23 nengard            and it's going forever and error
22:23 tcohen             FORBIDEN?
22:23 nengard            all kinds of characters
22:23 eythian            yeah
22:23 nengard            yeah that's good?
22:23 eythian            putting a binary file to the terminal is often not ideal
22:24 nengard            seems to have stopped or failed or something
22:24 tcohen             run reset
22:24 eythian            I'm very confused why that works and apt doesn't though
22:24 nengard            it's a blinking cursor at 9;c
22:24 tcohen             to get your terminal back (if chars are broken)
22:24 eythian            type 'reset'
22:24 nengard            k
22:24 nengard            got it back
22:25 tcohen             flame warning> that wouldn't have happened in Mandriva
22:25 nengard            that means nothing to me :)
22:25 eythian            tcohen: that's because no one uses Mandriva :)
22:25 jcamins            tcohen: no... Mandriva predated the Internet. :P
22:26 nengard            okay guys, we were supposedly close like a hour ago :)
22:26 eythian            hey wait
22:26 nengard            have we hit a wall? .... oh maybe not
22:26 tcohen             heh
22:26 eythian            nengard: yeah, but your system is weird
22:26 nengard            not my system! :)
22:26 nengard            but yes
22:26 eythian            there's something else funny
22:26 eythian            try this:
22:26 eythian            wget -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/dists/squeeze/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2
22:27 tcohen             THAT is not funny at all!

22:28 nengard            hmm
22:28 drojf              did you try the df -h thing?
22:28 eythian            oddly, your system is trying to access it
22:28 eythian            and it doesn't exist
22:28 nengard            i don't remember if i did the df hting

22:29 tcohen             jcamins: urpmi was really awesome
22:30 tcohen             (never used Mandriva, Mandrake was my first distro, then moved to Gentoo, then Debian)
22:30 drojf              that looks fine. i would have love an extra apt partition of 1513b
22:30 eythian            heh
22:30 nengard            once we get this solved if we get this solved they're going to do a fresh system and copy the db over
22:31 eythian            wait
22:31 nengard            but we need to get the db upgraded so that it works
22:31 eythian            why not just do a fresh system now then?
22:31 nengard            they have data
22:31 eythian            you can move the data
22:31 nengard            how do we import old data from a 3.9.4 db to a 3.10.3 system
22:31 jcamins            Why are you trying to upgrade in a broken system? Just move the data.
22:31 eythian            you just .. do
22:31 eythian            it'll work
22:31 nengard            i'm so confused guys ... picture a tired sleepy and nausious nicole and speak slowly
22:31 eythian            it'll upgrade itself
22:31 nengard            really???
22:32 nengard            so we do a mysqldump
22:32 nengard            do a fresh install
22:32 nengard            and the import the db and it will work?
22:32 eythian            sure, you put old data into a new koha system and it'll see that it's old and upgrade it for you.
22:32 bgkriegel          yep
22:32 nengard            even thought the old db has different fields
22:32 nengard            OMG
22:32 eythian            yeah, the upgrade process takes care of it for you.
22:32 drojf              we should have hand-on installation sessions more often :)
22:33 eythian            when you first start it up with the old data, it'll force you to run through the upgrade process.
22:33 drojf              nengard gets a completely different perspective :)
22:33 tcohen             belive it, Koha is magical
22:33 nengard            omg
22:33 nengard            omg
22:33 nengard            omg
22:33 tcohen             heh
22:33 nengard            my tired brain is so relieved
22:33 nengard            okay
22:33 nengard            so i'm copying this for the debian guy - who gave up and left me
22:33 tcohen             BTW, try that Ubuntu 12.04 thing
22:34 nengard            to tell him to install koha fresh and take the mysql dump bring it in and let koha upgrade it
22:34 drojf              there is a debian guy, don't scare him away with ubuntu
22:34 nengard            anythign else he needs to know
22:34 nengard            and what's the ubuntu thing
22:34 nengard            he asked if it would run on ubuntu
22:34 nengard            so he's okay with that
22:34 nengard            either one is fine
22:35 nengard            uh oh ... flamer mode ...
22:36 drojf              i'm sure it's the good kind of flame
22:36 eythian            yeah, I prefer debian, but ubuntu 12.04LTS is also fine.
22:36 * drojf            gets the sausages
22:36 nengard            :)
22:36 drojf              and steaks
22:36 nengard            is there a link or rules i want to share with this guy
22:36 * wizzyrea         puts away the popcorn
22:36 nengard            i'll email him what you all said here - but anything else
22:36 drojf              debian?
22:36 wahanui            debian is what most people use and there are good manuals and even packages for that
22:36 nengard            before I go and get away from the computer?
22:36 drojf              hm
22:36 drojf              packages?
22:36 wahanui            well, packages is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
22:36 drojf              ^^ this
22:36 nengard            also do i need to turn on indexing again ... did we turn that off?
22:36 nengard            drojf thanks - that I did have
22:37 drojf              that should do for a debian guy
22:37 drojf              ;)
22:37 eythian            yeah, the packaging link should do the job.
22:37 nengard            okey dokey
22:37 nengard            now what did we kill
22:37 tcohen_flamer_mode stick with Debian
22:37 nengard            and do i need to restart it before i go?
22:37 nengard            i can search koha
22:37 eythian            no
22:37 eythian            it was totally unrelated
22:37 eythian            at least, the one I saw
22:37 nengard            okay good
22:37 nengard            works for me
22:38 nengard            you guys are all the best (guys as in peoples not just boys) :)
22:38 nengard            and let me say that i could never do what you all do :)
22:38 tcohen_flamer_mode yeah, don't mess with all this new gender theories
22:38 nengard            I'll stick to my training and documentation thank you very much
22:39 nengard            and now i think i'll go out in the FL sun and put the top down on my fancy rental car and drive super fast (if the old FL drivers let me)
22:39 tcohen_flamer_mode good luck nengard

22:43 wizzyrea           beer and pretzels role playing game?
22:44 tcohen             have you played closure?
22:44 eythian            I know, sounds like a great idea :)
22:44 eythian            I don't think I've heard of it.
22:46 eythian            oh, you know what
22:46 eythian            I bet apt was set up to use a proxt
22:46 eythian            proxy
22:46 eythian            and nothing else was
22:46 wizzyrea           oops.
22:47 eythian            which is why its results were different from wget.
22:52 tcohen             when is KohaCon13 happening?
22:52 jcamins            October.
22:55 eythian            I suppose I should write a talk or something
23:00 tcohen             you are the beer expert right? you don't need to do anything
23:01 eythian            I don't think work will send me on the weight of my beer knowledge alone :)
23:04 trea               hey #koha does opac suppression have any impact on holds fulfillment?
23:05 jcamins            Not to my knowlede.
23:05 jcamins            *knowledge
23:07 wizzyrea           it shouldn't
23:07 trea               thanks, just confirming
23:07 wizzyrea           the first question?
23:07 wahanui            "What are you trying to do?" or "What is the goal?"
23:08 tcohen             t-rea wizzy-rea
23:08 eythian            I wonder if there's a connection....
23:08 wizzyrea           now you're getting it
23:09 trea               purely coincidental
23:09 trea               >.>
