06:27 CGI351 I have installed koha-3.00.04_fixed on debian-lenny, succefully
06:27 09:24  but z39.50 is not working, It show 'Results Connection failed to z3950.loc.gov nothing found. Try another search'
06:27 I have installed koha-3.00.04_fixed on debian-lenny, succefully,but z39.50 is not working, It show 'Results Connection failed to z3950.loc.gov nothing found. Try another search'
06:28 how can I solve this problem
06:32 chris looks to me like a firewall is blocking your connection out
06:35 CGI351 ??
06:43 chris if it saying connection failed, it means the koha server can't connect to z3950.loc.gov
06:43 which is usually caused by a firewalling blocking the port it is trying to connect on
06:45 CGI351 Im on debian-lenny
06:45 so wht should i do ??
06:47 chris at your commandline
06:47 type
06:47 telnet z3950.loc.gov 7090
06:47 does it say connected
06:49 CGI351 I t say 'Trying 140.147.249.38...
06:49 telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: connection refused
06:50 chris yep, its not a koha problem then
06:50 something is blocking your connection
06:50 CGI351 mean?
06:50 chris mean its not koha
06:51 you will need to talk to your network administrator
06:51 or ISP
06:51 CGI351 what problem it may be?
06:51 with network or ISP? Im on proxy
06:53 Ropuch Morning #koha
06:55 chris i dont know, i dont know your network setup
06:56 but there is definitely something blocking port 7090 outbound from your machine
06:56 its not something anyone here can fix
06:56 you need to talk to whoever configures your network
06:58 CGI351 ok

08:49 (choosing overwrite)
08:51 kf: http://translate.koha.org/de/i[…]ew_mode=translate
08:51 does that work for you?
08:51 how i got to that was to go to http://translate.koha.org/de/intranet3_1/

08:52 http://translate.koha.org/de/i[…]et3_1/review.html

14:21 schuster wanting to be clear on what I am getting with git.
14:21 right now when I do a git pull I'm getting HEAD 3.2 right?
14:22 git clone //git.koha.org/pub/scm/koha.git
14:24 hdl_laptop yse
14:24 yes schuster
14:24 out of the box, you have master
14:25 If you want to get a 3.0.x then you have to git checkout -b local3.0.x origin/3.0.x
14:25 schuster OK thanks just making sure I'm not spinning my wheels trying to get 3.2 up and running...  I'd have been really frustrated to end up with 3.00 again!

15:27 rhcl Just an observation here directed at nobody in particular. I see there are about 50 people signed on right now, and this an average Thursday morning (here anyway). When I first started joining this chat like 6-8 months ago 20 people would have been a good number.
15:29 schuster your point being - Koha is gaining momentum?

15:47 * jdavidb used to live in a place that regularly got to 40C in the summer, every day for several weeks.  He does not miss that very much.
15:47 hilongo it isn't ... but living in the middle of the mountains it 'feels' warmer
15:48 * hilongo wouldn't miss 40C that much either
15:48 jdavidb Humidity makes a huge difference.  Here in Washington DC, 30C feels like a sauna, especially down close to the river.  40C would fry your brains, but you wouldn't be soaked in sweat, because it was *so* dry.
15:48 collum Yep: I used to live in Houston.  I like cold better.

15:52 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2635 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, cnighswonger@foundations.edu, NEW, Adding non-digit chars to cost fields in items causes data corruption
15:52 chris_n2 this was work I did for LL and submitted a patch, but cannot see that it was ever committed
15:52 unfortunately I no longer have the work
15:53 and I'm not sure what the intended behavior is atm... sorry... :-(
15:54 nengard chris_n2 :( you should put that on the bug report I guess - chris asked me to go through and close all fixed bugs and note if a bug wasn't fixed - so I did :)
15:54 schuster nengard - don't be mad at me, but I just posted a very lengthy post to your blog.  I hope we can still be friends.
15:55 chris_n2 nengard: will do... its just too bad the work did not make it into the repo
15:55 nengard i'm not surprised - unfortunatly
15:57 nahuel joined #koha
15:58 slef we need a patch tracker or better linking between bugzilla and git
15:58 and no, I'm not writing one today :-(
15:58 Kivutar joined #koha
15:59 nahuel slef, there is a git plugin
15:59 a bugzilla plugin for git
15:59 ask to chris
16:00 slef this has been said before - presumably we need clay or someone at LL to install it?
16:00 schuster nengard and chris_n2 - well I don't have that patch as a LL client self hosted.  Nobody has gotten patches in awhile.
16:01 wizzyrea it's been june since we've gotten patches
16:01 except for some Dev work
16:02 chris_n2 schuster: this would have been back in august of 08
16:02 nengard schuster - you're silly - why the hell would i be mad at you for speaking your mind which is what the whole post is about???
16:02 anyway - replied
16:04 indradg joined #koha
16:06 schuster chris_n2 - well then I have no idea why it hasn't been pushed as it hasn't even made it into LL patches!
16:08 slef schuster: nengard: where's the post?

16:29 chris slef: the plugin works locally
16:29 slef chris: where local is what?
16:29 chris your machine
16:29 after you commit
16:29 you can then create a bug from that commit
16:30 slef but for attaching to existing bugs?
16:30 chris or attach a patch to a bug, from that commit
16:30 you have to be authenticated to bugzilla at the time
16:30 it uses that to do it
16:30 its kinda trick
16:30 slef ok... could it be made to run when updating a branch from git.koha.org?
16:31 so upload for other people's commits if there's no attachment
16:31 chris http://blog.fishsoup.net/2008/[…]bcommand-for-git/
16:31 slef ta
16:31 chris sure, if there is a commit, you can attach it
16:32 what i would like to see us use
16:32 is http://procode.org/stgit/
16:33 slef probably could develop that into something that read the patches mailing list and posted the patches into bugzilla if needed
16:34 chris or at least expirement with it to see if it works ... or maybe something even simpler
16:34 just some dirs on a webserver
16:34 patches to be applied
16:34 patches applied
16:34 patches rejected
16:35 so you could just look in there
16:35 cos its doing my head in trying to keep up with what has been applied, and what hasnt
16:35 * slef looks at the list archive a bit more closely

17:38 joetho hello
17:38 I have a transfer question- in the "branchtransfers" table, -COMMENTS- field, what do the values 'Forced branchtransfer'  and 'wrongtransfer'  mean?
17:39 anyone? anyone?
17:41 schuster Sorry I can only guess - forced would be when the Librarian initiates it to send rather than the system automatically doing it?
17:41 wrong transfer maybe when the wrong location checks it in?
17:42 nengard sorry joetho - not sure here either - but someone was talking about adding notes to SQL tables to make them make more sense - what ever happened to that?
17:42 joetho Those are good guesses.
17:43 I am trying to research this, to make our end-of-time reports as accurate as possible.

18:03 nengard hmm
18:03 hugo joined #koha
18:04 schuster OK figured out the forced business!  If you have a book from library B at Library A and you check it out no problem.  If you check it out the second time it does a forced transfer to library A from A
18:04 joetho check out a second time... meaning...
18:04 schuster I'm not part of the community?
18:04 nengard according to ben you're not
18:05 joetho well according to Joe you are.
18:05 nengard :) hehe
18:05 chris joe trumps ben
18:05 nengard yup
18:05 joetho what do you mean, check out a second time?
18:05 renew? check out to another patron?
18:05 chris who plays euchre?
18:05 schuster I checked this book out from library A that is owned by library B - someone else at library A and it is still owned by library B but still at A does a force transfer - even though the book never really moved locations.
18:05 Ropuch chris: is Ben striking back again? ;>
18:05 joetho ah
18:06 nengard got a question - what is the patrons with no checkouts report supposed to look like? I have a ton of patrons who have never checked out -but they don't appear on the report ...
18:06 schuster euchre!  Oh my!!  Havn't in a long time but it was a Minnesota thing when I was little.
18:06 joetho rock paper scissors
18:06 chris next time im awake at 5am i should find some online euchre site or something :)
18:07 one of my holiday jobs was cutting kevlar and fibreglass
18:07 to make helmets .. made some for london fire brigade, hong kong riot police etc
18:08 every smoko break, and lunch break, all the factory workers would beat me in euchre
18:09 was the most mind numbingly boring job ever, slide the kevlar, put the blade on it, swing the press over, push the buttons 10 tonne of pressure down, click, ... move it off, start again
18:09 schuster nengard - I don't know it doesn't seem to work right for me.
18:09 chris but the euchre made up for it
18:09 nengard: yeah im not sure it works properly either
18:10 schuster it has item limits in it too???
18:10 nengard chris - okay - bug report coming
18:10 schuster chris where is that blog post guess I need to give ben a piece of my mind.
18:10 chris nicoles blog
18:16 schuster nengard - when looking at this report it doesn't look like it would limit to the location either unless I overlooked it ...
18:16 nengard yeah - i think it's just all kinds of messed up :) hehe
18:21 joetho another question - in the "canned" report module, ( /cgi-bin/koha/reports/issues_stats.pl ) ...does "Library" refer to holding branch or owning branch?
18:22 chris i think that we should remove the links to the canned reports until we overhaul them
18:22 joetho the report itself refers to "statistics.branch" and I can't figure out which is which. I have independent branches turned on.
18:23 I think about you every time somebody asks me about them
18:23 I think they are great, and easy for librarians to use.
18:23 How bout we just make em work right.
18:24 nengard chris - no - i just finished documenting them :) hehe - you can't remove them
18:24 joetho or clarify exactly what it is they are reporting to you. To wit: my reports problem du jur
18:24 chris if its statistics.branch
18:25 then its the branch the item was issued from
18:25 so could be either
18:25 or both
18:25 nengard :)
18:25 chris on none
18:25 or none as well
18:25 nengard is this where you the ILS has crazy rules part comes in? :)
18:26 tomascohen left #koha
18:26 chris no statistics.branch just stores the branch where the transaction took place
18:26 it doesnt care what the items homebranch or holdingbranch is
18:26 just where that transaction took place
18:27 if you can only ever issue things at their homebranch .. then it will be that .. but that is just coincidence
18:27 does that make sense?

18:33 chris i just go "you want it to do what???? oh ok then"
18:38 hugo left #koha
18:40 joetho oh my. Libraries like to have accurate statistics of what they do and it doesn't look like my consortium will get that from statistics.branch
18:40 I won't tell em if you won't
18:50 chris oh?
18:50 it tracks the library that did something .. is there more accurate than that?
18:51 tracking libraries that didnt do something instead? :-)
18:53 maybe im not being clear
18:53 if i walk into moonbeam kansas library, (i hope this actually exists) and check a book out there
18:54 then statistics.branch will be moonbeam for that transaction
18:54 if i go to twigtown next
18:54 and return it
18:54 statistics.branch will be twigtown
18:54 that help?
18:57 wizzyrea that makes sense to me
18:57 :P
18:57 no moonbeam that I know of, though
18:57 damn shame.
18:57 chris can we found it?
18:57 what does it take to start a town anyway?
18:57 nengard hehe
18:57 money i think
18:57 lots of it
18:57 wizzyrea probably ^.^ not sure, will have to look
18:57 chris kill off the indigenous ppl and plant a flag?
18:57 wizzyrea always that
18:57 hmm
18:58 chris thats how it was done here anyway :)
18:58 and with that gross generalisation on the history of colonisation
18:58 im off to catch my bus
18:59 wizzyrea and here I was going to go off about incorporation and foundation of city government...
19:03 joetho Not to change the subject, but here's how I spotted this alleged "problem":
19:03 1. Our consortium main library attempts to fill an ILL request and finds the item at another branch within our consortium.
19:04 2. Main library requests that the branch library transfer the item to the main library. They do.
19:05 3. Main library checks the book out to the ILL borrowing library (not part of consortium, but they exist as a special "ILL-category" patron.
19:06 4. Statistics show that the little branch library checked the book out to the patron, when in fact the main library did.
19:06 5. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.
19:07 nengard okay - well in that case i bet we could write a report to give you the numbers you need - but that's a strange case
19:07 joetho This is really more of a procedural issue, I suppose.
19:07 nengard in most cases the library checks their own item out
19:07 joetho If we had unmedicated ILL it would be different, but a lot of our ILL in Kansas is pretty hands-on
19:09 "unmedicated" = "unmediated"
19:10 that's what one of the guys in our state library calls it
19:14 nengard well a report that pulls the home library instead of the statistics branch should be pretty easy for you to work up

19:47 in which case you may need to be medicated... ;)
19:47 chris back
19:48 ah yeah, like i said, "you want what???" :-)
19:56 hilongo hello there... just got here :)
19:56 but... about "independant branches" ...
19:57 is it possible to search patrons from another branch by their names and not only by theie cardnumbers?
19:57 in the releases after 3.0.1... I mean
19:57 joetho <---yes, independent branches
19:58 hilongo: that seems to depend on the gui you are searching from
19:58 but in general, no
19:58 I think
19:59 hilongo Hmm..  I see
20:02 Anyway, that is no a really big problem right now ...  :P
20:05 joetho if you know what branch they are from, you can change to that branch and find them by name.
20:05 If you have the user permissions to do that
20:05 joetho left #koha
20:06 hilongo Yep ... but the idea is tha staff from one branch cannot login as a staff of another branch
20:07 but still be able to loan and reserve items to patrons from any branch
20:09 It can be done right now, but some librarians prefer to search a patron by the lastname

20:40 chris_n2 nengard++ #for her blog post
20:40 wizzyrea ben who?
20:41 chris_n2 ben ide (I think that's his last name)
20:41 works for a WALDO library iirc
20:42 wizzyrea Oh right, connecticut
20:42 * chris_n2 thought he might be coming around at one point
20:42 * wizzyrea did too
20:42 is sad that he's not
20:42 waves to Ben HIYA!
20:42 chris_n2 but then maybe he got called into the "principal's office"
20:43 wizzyrea hehe
20:43 that term always makes me giggle, while simultaneously filling me with dread
20:43 chris_n2 lol :-)
20:44 sekjal Ben's a good guy in person.  He just seems to have a way of coming off badly electronically
20:44 chris_n2 never met him live and in person, but I'd agree with the electronically bit
20:45 * chris_n2 had better go find something else to do...
20:46 sekjal quick question: is koha-patches@lists.koha.org the preferred destination for patches, or is patches@koha.org?
20:46 the wiki says the former, my inbox shows both
20:46 chris_n2 I think patches@koha.org
20:46 wizzyrea patches@koha.org is what I always use
20:47 sekjal cool, thanks!  I just spotted a bug, and it was an easy fix, so I'll give it a whirl
20:47 wizzyrea and by "always" i mean, the 6 times I've done it :P
20:47 chris i always use koha-patches@lists.koha.org
20:47 and encourage everyone to
20:47 because patches@koha.org is just a redirect
20:47 sekjal ah
20:48 chris but it goes through a mail server and has filters/spam scanning applied
20:48 its just adding a point of failure for no need

22:21 hdl_laptop chris : I try and apply all the patches sent to list on a day-to-day base.
22:22 There are patches which cannot pass.
22:22 chris *nod*
22:22 do you think just have 3 dirs on a webserver would be handy?
22:22 patches_applied, patches_waiting, patches_rejected
22:23 hdl_laptop maybe. Maybe stgit could be also handy.
22:23 chris stgit involves a bit of change in work flow .. but might be good
22:23 sekjal left #koha
22:23 hdl_laptop But having only thunderbird directory is a pain.
22:24 chris definitely
22:24 hdl_laptop are you using mutt ?
22:24 chris the nice thing with the dirs, is that when the RM applies a patch, they just move it
22:24 then people can just look and see oh my patch is still in the waiting dir
22:24 i use sup
22:25 hdl_laptop well there should be more dirs
22:25 chris http://sup.rubyforge.org/
22:25 sup and offlineimap
22:25 hdl_laptop waiting testing applied pushed cantapply rejected
22:26 chris that would work
22:26 it would just be nice to have a easy way to see how many patches are waiting etc
22:27 hdl_laptop I thought that it could be done with using topic branches with authoremails on top of dev
22:28 and some branches on the project.
22:28 chris yep, that's another possibility
22:30 hdl_laptop see 3.2_community on git.biblibre.com for all the patches sent that pass on a master branchautomatically
22:30 I have some encoding error
22:31 chris cool
22:31 http://git.biblibre.com/cgi-bi[…]ads/3.2_community for anyone else interested ;)
22:32 i should track that with my autobuilder
22:32 hdl_laptop cannot convert from utf-8utf-8 to utf-8
22:32 chris heh
22:32 hdl_laptop I think it comes from  0024 Puts focus in search box on page load
22:33 chris ah could be
22:33 hmm nope
22:33 http://git.biblibre.com/cgi-bi[…]825bfeccf83d4a9ea
22:34 that looks ok
22:34 hdl_laptop are  you used to git submodule ?
22:34 chris nope havent used it
22:35 hdl_laptop I am using it and I think it could be great to use that for translation and configurations.
22:35 But I still have to master that part more
22:35 chris cool
22:39 hdl_laptop then we would have independent parts and update regularly
22:39 chris yeah that would be great
