| 12:42 | paul | g'morning owen |
| 12:43 | owen | Hi |
| 17:13 | rach | hello |
| 17:53 | owen | Hi rach, I didn't see you come in. |
| 17:53 | I like the new designs you posted | |
| 17:57 | rach | thank you |
| 17:58 | I have a new PC, which doesn't kick me off IRC every time the screen saver comes on | |
| 17:58 | so I'm finally back to being able to pay attention | |
| 17:58 | rather than doing a merekat impersionation | |
| 17:59 | but it does mean I'm lurking a bit more :-) | |
| 17:59 | so owen, when used in a page, do you still get that "surprised" feeling? | |
| 17:59 | with the logo | |
| 18:01 | owen | Yeah, kinda. But I have a tendency to see things that aren't there. ;) |
| 18:09 | rach | have you done those inkblot thingys? |
| 18:12 | owen | Not since they let me out |
| 18:13 | rach | :-) |
| 18:15 | owen | Did I read correctly that someone's going to try to do your designs up in HTML? |
| 18:15 | rach | yep |
| 18:16 | lucky man :-) | |
| 18:18 | owen | Shouldn't be too hard, except for that opacity thing |
| 18:18 | rach | he likes a challenge :-) |
| 18:20 | owen what does the admin for your koha look like? | |
| 18:20 | owen | The admin home page? |
| 18:21 | rach | yes |
| 18:21 | could I possibly get you to send me a screen shot? | |
| 18:22 | or is it the one that paul did? | |
| 18:22 | ta | |
| 18:22 | interesting, we don't have an option to change theme for the admin side, in the same way as we do for the opac | |
| 18:23 | owen | http://66.213.78.40/temp/koha-admin.gif |
| 18:25 | chris | yep we do rach |
| 18:25 | its just called template though | |
| 18:25 | Preference order for intranet interface templates | |
| 18:26 | owen | Here's the circ screen, from our test server (that's why my account is in such bad shape, I swear!) |
| 18:26 | http://66.213.78.40/temp/koha-circ.gif | |
| 18:26 | rach | ah that's right |
| 18:26 | thanks owen | |
| 18:27 | so you've put acquisitions into cataloging | |
| 18:28 | owen | We lump all that together. But really we don't do acquisitions in Koha, so I don't have a good idea of the workflow. |
| 18:31 | rach | oh that's a bit weird |
| 18:47 | kados | hi everyone |
| 18:49 | owen we may be doing acquisitions in koha pretty soon ... stephen wants to cancel our ITSMARC subscription this year | |
| 18:49 | owen | Catalogers will be pissed. |
| 18:49 | kados | he's asked me to get the cataloging interface up and running (the Z39.50 aspect of it that we're not using) |
| 18:49 | yea | |
| 18:50 | the main problem will probably be authorities on the records | |
| 18:50 | I haven't had a chance to see how koha handles authorities yet ... but I doubt it's as advanced as ITSMARC | |
| 18:51 | (lower quality records also means worse searching btw) | |
| 18:51 | owen | There are large parts of the acquisitions system that I'm not familiar with |
| 18:51 | kados | same here |
| 18:52 | owen | I haven't updated any z39.50 templates in a while. I'm not sure what their status is. |
| 19:21 | kados | si around? |
| 19:21 | owen | kados: z39.50 isn't working on 101 is it? |
| 19:37 | kados | si if you arrive anytime soon ... here's my problem: |
| 19:38 | I can boot the net4801 off my nfs share fine | |
| 19:38 | so debian is running now on it | |
| 19:38 | but | |
| 19:38 | the cf card is showing up as hdb instead of hda | |
| 19:39 | so when I try to run lilo (after changing /etc/fstab to mount from the local filesystem) I get an error like this: | |
| 19:39 | Warning: /dev/hdb is not on the first disk | |
| 19:39 | and: | |
| 19:39 | Fatal: Trying to map files from unnamed device 0x0009 (NFS ?) | |
| 19:40 | si | so your root file system is your HD, or still NFS? |
| 19:40 | kados | currently I've got / which is the NFS |
| 19:40 | si | some CF apparently are outside spec, and don't come up correctly on 4501's |
| 19:40 | kados | and /mnt which is the CF card (hdb) |
| 19:40 | si | I've got a few that come up as slaves |
| 19:40 | right, so you need to tell lilo to chroot to /mnt | |
| 19:40 | kados | ahh ... |
| 19:41 | si | -r root-directory |
| 19:41 | Before doing anything else, do a chroot to the indicated direc- | |
| 19:41 | tory. The new root directory must contain a /dev directory, and | |
| 19:41 | may need a /boot directory. It may also need an /etc/lilo.conf | |
| 19:41 | file. | |
| 19:42 | kados | sweet |
| 19:42 | si | you may also need -b as well |
| 19:42 | alternately | |
| 19:42 | kados | so you think 'lilo -r /mnt' |
| 19:42 | would do it? | |
| 19:42 | si | you could mangle your nfs boot line so that it actually loaded /dev/hdb1 as it's root, rather than the nfs partition |
| 19:43 | so that you're using tftp only to boot the kernel | |
| 19:43 | kados | yea I was going to try that next :-) |
| 19:43 | si | then you'd be able to install lilo without needing the mad chrooting stuff |
| 19:43 | just try various combinations of -r -b and -A, until it works | |
| 19:43 | kados | thanks si! |
| 19:43 | si | that's what I do, randomly |
| 19:44 | kados | :-) |
| 19:44 | lilo -r /mnt gave: | |
| 19:44 | same Warning (not the first disk) | |
| 19:44 | and | |
| 19:44 | Added Linux * | |
| 19:45 | si can you think of a reason that the CF is showing up as hdb instead of hda? (is that what you were mentioning just a sec ago?) | |
| 19:45 | si | yes |
| 19:45 | kados | ahh |
| 19:45 | si | it's discussed in the soekris archives, if you can be arsed googling |
| 19:46 | but on the 4501's there's not a great deal you can do about it | |
| 19:46 | buy a better flash, or live with it seem to be the choices | |
| 19:47 | ctrl p, and then "boot f0" | |
| 19:47 | will force it back to a netboot, if the lilo is munged | |
| 19:47 | kados | right :-) |
| 19:48 | hehe ... does this mean it's munged?: | |
| 19:48 | L 00 00 00 00 00 00 ad infinitum | |
| 19:48 | si | yup |
| 19:48 | but it means you're half way there | |
| 19:48 | kados | k ... I'll just change the fstab in the nfs |
| 19:58 | strange that these cards are of different quality ... they all seem to cost about the same | |
| 19:58 | the same kinds of problems exist with the SD cards ... I had to scrap one of those with my Zaurus because it wouldn't hold on to a filesystem | |
| 19:59 | switched to another brand and problems went away | |
| 20:04 | soekris finally grabs kernel | |
| 20:06 | sweet ... mounted on /dev/hdb1 | |
| 20:07 | grrr ... still get the Fatal: Trying to map files fron unnamed device 0x0009 (NFS ?) | |
| 20:07 | when I run lilo | |
| 20:11 | tim | Hey chris! Your 'Flat Stanley" is on the way. |
| 20:11 | chris | cool ill keep an eye on my inbox |
| 20:11 | there it is | |
| 20:12 | tim | We'll be having more kids make some later so you'll have to wait a bit kados. |
| 20:12 | Let me know if you have any problems with the stuff I sent. | |
| 20:12 | kados | hehe np ... I'll keep posted :-) |
| 20:12 | chris | looks all good to me |
| 20:12 | kados | si: any more ideas? |
| 20:12 | chris | hes at a meeting joshua |
| 20:12 | kados | ahh ... thanks |
| 20:36 | I think the problem was that I was overriding lilo with some kernel statements in my 'default' file (TFTP) | |
| 20:52 | shoot! ... it booted off the network and mounted the CF filesystem ... I ran lilo and it gave the warning but no fatal message ... I rebooted and lilo still gives me the L 00 00 prob |
