| 03:32 | Genji | Hi, im back. anyone alive? | 
| 03:33 | Would a mismatch in versioning of LibXML compiled for 706 but libxml2 runtime is 702, cause a zebra indexing/search fail? | |
| 03:34 | Would it cause icu.xml to fail to read? | |
| 03:44 | Amit joined #koha | |
| 03:44 | Amit | hi brendan, chris | 
| 03:44 | good morning #koha | |
| 03:59 | Genji | hiya Amit. | 
| 03:59 | Would a mismatch in versioning of LibXML compiled for 706 but libxml2 runtime is 702, cause a zebra indexing/search fail? | |
| 03:59 | Would it cause icu.xml to fail to read? | |
| 03:59 | Amit | heya Genji | 
| 04:01 | Genji | What do you think, Amit? | 
| 04:01 | Amit | your LibXML version | 
| 04:02 | Genji | how do i get that? | 
| 04:02 | Amit | what os r u using? | 
| 04:02 | Genji | Centos | 
| 04:03 | 5.something | |
| 04:03 | Amit | have u installed by rpm or CPAN package? | 
| 04:04 | Genji | unsure. I uninstalled LibXML via CPANPLUS, and reinstalled.. to see if the mismatch would disappear. Nope. | 
| 04:04 | Amit | u can installed by RPM package | 
| 04:05 | Genji | Oh? okay. whats the rpm? | 
| 04:06 | Amit | perl-XML-LibXML | 
| 04:16 | Genji | no package perl-XML-LibXML availab.e | 
| 04:16 | hmm.. guess i have to search for it. | |
| 04:22 | how do i know from uname -a if i have 64 bit or not? | |

| 04:29 | Genji | nevermind.. got it. | 
| 04:29 | rpmforging on. | |
| 04:35 | oh... this isn't good. now yum update says that kernel.i686 is set to be erased! | |
| 04:36 | oh.. a new kernel is set to be installed.... | |

| 05:02 | @quote search chris_n2 | |
| 05:02 | munin | Genji: No matching quotes were found. | 
| 05:03 | chris_n2 | Genji: no... I was once upon a time in a galaxy far far away... now I'm just contracted by a third party to attempt to do some magical foo interfacing LEK with some other software | 
| 05:04 | Genji: btw chris_n2 = chris_n = fbcit so on and so forth | |
| 05:06 | Genji | magical foo getting LEK to play nice, sounds like black magic. | 
| 05:07 | chris_n2 | indeed... very black |

| 05:49 | Amit | hi indradg | 
| 05:49 | indradg | Amit, hiya! | 
| 05:53 | Genji | Would a mismatch in versioning of LibXML compiled for 20706 but libxml2 runtime is 20702, cause a zebra indexing/search fail? | 
| 05:54 | looks like it would be impossible downgrading libxml2 without uninstallling a lot of other stuff. | |
| 05:57 | is it possible to swap versions of libxml2 without uninstalling/reinstalling everything? | |

| 09:33 | CGI887 joined #koha | |
| 09:33 | CGI887 | anybody out there? | 
| 09:33 | i'm a complete noob just messing with the virtual machine Koha dist. | |
| 09:34 | wanna know how to change the staff interface password for "kohaadmin" | |
| 09:38 | CGI814 joined #koha | |
| 09:39 | CGI814 left #koha | |
| 09:41 | CGI690 joined #koha | |
| 09:43 | CGI887 | 690 you there? | 
| 09:43 | CGI690 | Is there a simple tutorial on how to use Koha to create a very simple library system for an existing library with very basic cataloguing, and for someone who is NOT a library expert, nor a data base expert? | 
| 09:44 | CGI887 | sounds like you and I are both noobs. :) i'm trying to figure out how to change kohaadmin password | 
| 09:45 | CGI690 | I did find a link for that, but it is really quite complicated. I did find what the default password and just decided to go with it for a start | 
| 09:47 | I have scanned the physical cards, which contain relatively little information: catalog number (in a simple format, not Dewey, MARC or any standard form), title, author(s), brief description, publisher and that is about it! | |
| 09:48 | CGI887 | you are beyond me... ive figured out how to manually add items using isbn search... thats it | 
| 09:48 | CGI690 | I have this information in tables under major headings (like fiction, youth, etc.). The tables are in OpenOffice Text format. | 
| 09:49 | I haven't even figured out how to manually add items. For a lot of material in the library, I cannot even find the ISBN. | |
| 09:53 | hdl_laptop | CGI887: to change kohaadmin password. | 
| 09:54 | you have to change the mysql apssword for kohaadmin. | |
| 09:54 | CGI690 | http://blog.chadwollenberg.com[…]3-admin-password/ is a link for how to change the kohaadmin password. I have not tried it. | 
| 09:54 | hdl_laptop | And report the change in koha-conf.xml | 
| 09:55 | CGI690 :koha can only import iso2709 or MARCXML so no XL spreadsheet. | |
| 09:55 | To convert your data, see the wiki and look for MarcEdit | |
| 09:57 | CGI690 | Is it OK to leave most of the fields blank in MARC records? I don't have much of the data available for most of the fields in a MARC record | 
| 10:05 | CGI887 | ok, still stuck... on virtual machine I cannot get a root shell because of control panel that is tied to root account | 
| 10:06 | CGI690 left #koha | |
| 10:06 | CGI887 | change of password seems to require root perms | 
| 10:08 | should read... change of sql password seems to require root perms. | |

| 13:52 | paul_p2 | hello owen. | 
| 13:52 | hdl_laptop | hi owen. | 
| 13:52 | paul_p2 | "no vacation for brave people !!!" | 
| 13:53 | owen | Do people usually take vacation around Christmas in France? | 
| 13:53 | paul_p2 | owen: yes, libraries often have 1 or even 2 weeks. | 
| 13:54 | owen | The schools do here, but not libraries | 
| 13:55 | jwagner | Hello to all from blizzard-bound DC. | 
| 13:55 | owen | Hi jwagner, how's your recuperation going? | 
| 13:56 | jwagner | Pretty good. I'm mostly off the painkillers which makes for better concentration but perhaps less imagination :-) | 
| 13:56 | Still getting around the house in a wheelchair, but I can put some weight on the foot now. | |
| 13:57 | owen | But no sympathy for being house-bound while everyone else is too? | 
| 13:57 | jwagner | Well, even if they closed the office today I'd probably be working. No excuse if you're already set up to telework.... | 
| 13:58 | anasha left #koha | |
| 13:58 | jwagner | But the federal government is shut down. The apocalypse is nigh.... | 
| 14:00 | nengard | hi all - no vaca for me either :) but we are dug out and so hubby's school was open today so he had to go to work | 
| 14:00 | more bug wrangling this AM | |
| 14:01 | now on to documentation again :) | |
| 14:01 | jwagner | nengard++ for all the bug wrangling | 
| 14:01 | owen | No inbox zero for me today, not with all of nengard's bug wrangling ;) | 
| 14:01 | nengard | thanks jwagner - unfortunatly there are still a lot left open :( | 
| 14:02 | jwagner | I've been wondering if nengard was aiming to hit the top of the listserv statistics :-) | 
| 14:02 | nengard | LOL - there are listserv stats? | 
| 14:02 | nope - just doing what I was asked to do :) | |
| 14:02 | also - I want to find bugs I can actually fix so I keep reading through the bugs | |
| 14:04 | jwagner | Is there any help or hint file on bugzilla? I haven't been able to figure out how to set up some reports. I'd like to see all the entries where I'm cc'd, for example. | 
| 14:06 | nengard | clicking the Search link gives you lots of options | 
| 14:07 | sorry - clicking the Search Link and then the Advanced Search Tab | |
| 14:07 | at the bottom you can choose to see items with a specific CC | |
| 14:07 | jwagner: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]1&format=advanced | |
| 14:10 | jwagner | Aha! Hadn't found that page. I was trying to do something similar with those fields in a report, but it kept complaining. | 
| 14:10 | Thanks. That's going to help. | |
| 14:11 | hilongo | Hello everyone ... glad to see I'm not only one without vacations :) | 
| 14:12 | jwagner | Nope, we're all hard at work. (For some variable definitions of "hard" and "work" that is) | 
| 14:13 | hilongo | very variable indeed :) | 
| 14:13 | Ropuch | Wow, All tests successful. Result: PASS in 3.0.5 make test | 
| 14:13 | Hello everybody :) | |
| 14:14 | jwagner | Hi Ropuch | 
| 14:14 | hilongo | Great! | 
| 14:15 | owen | Re: Bug 2739, why would you have a patron with no name? | 
| 14:16 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2739 normal, P3, ---, jmf  liblime.com, NEW, OPAC Welcome Breaks if No First Name Avail | 
| 14:16 | * owen | wonders why he even asks himself these questions | 
| 14:18 | jwagner | Staff ID maybe? We always set up dummy names even for those. Sounds like it's not really breaking, just displaying funny. | 
| 14:18 | hilongo | I have a bunch of patron without name ... from an import run where I was unable to separate firstnames from surnames ... | 
| 14:18 | chris_n2 | g'morning all | 
| 14:19 | jwagner | good morning chris_n2 -- much snow down your way? | 
| 14:19 | chris_n2 | vacation here has to wait until next week | 
| 14:19 | jwagner: none here actually... 30 some inches at my parents in Madison VA (nearer to you) | |
| 14:19 | the children were very disappointed here :-( | |
| 14:20 | jwagner | I'll bet. They're delighted here. At least one school system has already cancelled classes until after the first of the year. | 
| 14:21 | chris_n2 | yeah, we're headed to the Blue Ridge in VA next week... maybe we'll get snowed in ;-) | 
| 14:21 | * chris_n2 | can hardly wait to get to a place where the internet and phone cannot find him | 
| 14:21 | kbsymanz left #koha | |
| 14:21 | hilongo | Over here the kids are always 'snow-disappointed' this time of the year ... cause it's summer but all the christmas 'propaganda' is snowy :P | 
| 14:22 | owen | I want a place where the internet and phone can't find me...but I can find them ;) | 
| 14:22 | jwagner | Nope, they're talking about rain for Christmas day in the DC area, at least. Blue Ridge will probably be about the same. | 
| 14:22 | owen, for that situation I highly recommend a cruise ship :-) They can't reach you, but if you're really desperate (and willing to spend the exorbitant Internet access fees) you can reach them. | |
| 14:23 | rhcl2 joined #koha | |

| 14:23 | rhcl2 is now known as rhcl_home | |
| 14:23 | owen | hilongo: Interesting case. Are you left manually correcting those patrons? | 
| 14:23 | * chris_n2 | 's 3 year old is laughing at the smileys in his irc client | 
| 14:25 | nengard | owen - delayed response re the bug - but if first name isn't required for some reason it's pretty easy to have that field blank ... | 
| 14:25 | hilongo | owen: Yes. First we tried to leave the first word as a surname and the rest as the name ... | 
| 14:26 | but that had to be 'reviewed' manually anyway | |
| 14:27 | owen | Does Cher use her local public library? How do they handle it? | 
| 14:27 | nengard | hehe | 
| 14:27 | hilongo | haha | 
| 14:27 | just like Maddona ... I guess :) | |
| 14:29 | owen | Actually, looks like that bug has been taken care of. "Welcome, Cher | Log Out" | 
| 14:29 | "Hello, Cher (Click here if you're not Cher)" | |
| 14:32 | ...although the bug is assigned to "rel_3_0." hdl_laptop: How should we be handling such bugs? It could be something that affects 3.0.x | |

| 15:23 | nengard | hmmm - must be a display bug I didn't notice before | 
| 15:23 | you fixing it with bug 3900? or should i put in a new bug? | |
| 15:23 | owen | When I look at the information stored in the subscriptionhistory table I find that histstartdate is empty for everything | 
| 15:24 | Can you check your data to confirm? | |
| 15:24 | I'm just investigating. If it's an easy fix I'll roll it into the fix for 3900/3376 | |
| 15:25 | (I guess it's not an easy fix if the data isn't getting into the database) | |
| 15:27 | Wait, what's the difference between "start date" and "history start date" ? | |
| 15:27 | nengard | owen - just a sec | 
| 15:27 | no clue what the dif is | |
| 15:28 | owen | serials/subscription-detail.pl lists both in the subscription summary table | 
| 15:28 | nengard | and are they both showing? | 
| 15:29 | owen | start date and end date are filled, history start date and history end date are empty | 
| 15:29 | nengard | owen - i see the same thing - i think we need a serials bug for this - | 
| 15:29 | i'll include our chat | |
| 15:30 | owen | I do notice that "histstartdate" and "histenddate" are fields that are part of the "manual history" entry form, but they're labeled "subscription start date" and "subscription end date" |

| 15:54 | owen | What's the difference between a subscription's "First issue publication date" and its "Subscription start date" ? | 
| 15:55 | nengard | owen that i can tell you :) | 
| 15:55 | the first issue pub date is the issue you have in hand when you add the subscription | |
| 15:55 | it's the one you base all your predictions on | |
| 15:55 | the sub start date is for the date your subscirption starts with the vendor | |
| 15:55 | that way you know when you have to renew your subscrption | |
| 15:55 | all that is in the manual btw :) | |
| 15:59 | owen | The manual needs to be converted into a chat bot ;) | 
| 15:59 | Thanks nengard | |

| 16:14 | wizzyrea | owen: omg, having the manual as a chat bot... that makes me weep with happiness (or would, if we had that) | 
| 16:14 | something like @manual acquisitions | |

| 19:34 | you know what we do in our libraries | |
| 19:34 | chris_n | well.... one thing is more delightful... |

| 19:35 | good on you! | |

| 19:35 | wizzyrea | truth. | 
| 19:35 | chris_n | lol | 
| 19:36 | wizzyrea | we leave IE installed, because the government still requires it sometimes for forms and stuff |

| 19:36 | Chaos | removing win32, installing *nix, and customizing x11 to look EXACTLY like windows so they don't realize ANYTHING happened, should be the fun part |

| 20:45 | Ropuch | Hello chris_n, pianohacker | 
| 20:46 | pianohacker | Hi, Ropuch | 
| 20:47 | chris_n | pianohacker: its been the sort of day that results in things like broken fingers | 
| 20:47 | pianohacker | Oh, crap! What happened? | 
| 20:48 | * chris_n | 's oldest son tore the skin completely off of the pad of his left middle finger | 
| 20:48 | chris_n | ouch^2 | 
| 20:48 | janewagner | Yeowwwcchhhh | 
| 20:48 | chris_n | massively painful injury | 
| 20:48 | pianohacker | grah. I've gotten really bad hand wounds like that before, all those never endings | 
| 20:48 | janewagner | I can believe it. | 
| 20:48 | chris_n | although not bad on the whole scale of things | 
| 20:49 | pianohacker | *nerve endings | 
| 20:49 | chris_n | yeah | 
| 20:49 | janewagner | speaking of broken fingers, how are yours, pianohacker? | 
| 20:49 | chris_n | it took an narcotic to finally deaden the pain | 
| 20:49 | pianohacker | janewagner: Great, actually :P | 
| 20:49 | chris_n: Blurgh, so sorry | |
| 20:49 | chris_n | the bone was not crushed, however, and the finger was not "de-gloved" | 
| 20:49 | janewagner | chris_n, he's going to have a lot of pain for a good many days. | 
| 20:50 | chris_n | which would have required skin grafts | 
| 20:50 | pianohacker | Gah, "de-gloved", short but very vivid word | 
| 20:50 | chris_n | janewagner" I'm sure | 
| 20:50 | yup... sends shivers up my spine | |
| 20:51 | janewagner | Hope he's not left-handed. I've had injuries to fingers on my right hand & found it impossible to do anything because my normal grip/hand-action always hit the spot. | 
| 20:51 | chris_n | he's right-handed fortunately | 
| 20:51 | janewagner | One small mercy.... | 
| 20:51 | chris_n | seems he's looking at about 5 or 6 weeks | 
| 20:51 | right now infection is the only concern | |
| 20:52 | he had MSRA last year... so the doctors is wanting to watch this closely | |
| 20:52 | MRSA even | |
| 20:52 | pianohacker | Yeah, definitely a danger with that bad a wound | 
| 20:54 | chris_n | but, there is much to be thankful for as the injury could have been much worse |

| 21:14 | pianohacker | You should be able to, as long as your database is set up for UTF8 | 
| 21:14 | Dunno how well Zebra will handle it, but it should work | |
| 21:15 | nengard | anyone know how well zebra will handle chinese and japanese characters? | 
| 21:20 | collum left #koha | |
| 21:24 | Ropuch | nengard: zebra handles hebrew pretty well, so i guess there should be no problem with chinese or japanese | 
| 21:25 | nengard | thanks! | 
| 21:26 | Ropuch | nengard: https://hfjs.bsz-bw.de/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl | 
| 21:26 | kf's catalog | |
| 21:26 | chris_n | any reason this should not work: my $card_number = GetMember($borrower_number)->{'cardnumber'}; | 
| 21:28 | pianohacker | chris_n: Not that I can think of. You could try a plain GetMember in a perl -de 1 session to see what the result wase | 
| 21:28 | *was | |
| 21:28 | janewagner left #koha | |
| 21:29 | chris_n | pianohacker: I'm getting complaints to this effect: Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference | 
| 21:29 | I'll try your suggestion and see what's up | |
| 21:29 | pianohacker | Then GetMember's definitely screwy | 
| 21:29 | Ropuch | nengard: and http://www.granthalaya.org can perform zebra search with Marathi / Hindi / Telugu / Kannada alphabet | 
| 21:30 | pianohacker | the perl debugger is really handy because you can run things like s GetMember($borrower_number), step through the function and see what's up. Much easier than throwing in a ton of warns | 
| 21:30 | nengard | thanks | 
| 21:30 | chris | chris_n: GetMember has changed in master | 
| 21:30 | it takes a hash as input | |
| 21:30 | chris_n | oh, fun | 
| 21:30 | when? | |
| 21:31 | chris | my ( %information ) = @_; | 
| 21:31 | just recently | |
| 21:31 | * chris_n | missed that and that accounts for the error | 
| 21:31 | chris_n | tnx | 
| 21:31 | chris | so Getmember('cardnumber' => $cardnumber ); | 
| 21:32 | lets you do borrowernumber, cardnumber, surname .. whatever | |
| 21:32 | chris_n | cool | 
| 21:33 | chris | (or combo of them |

| 21:45 | chris | :-) | 
| 21:45 | all the northern hemispherites will go to sleep soon anyway :) | |
| 21:46 | chilts | heh | 
| 21:47 | owen | *yawn* |

| 21:51 | brendan joined #koha | |
| 21:51 | chris | as of 10 mins ago | 
| 21:59 | nengard | thanks chris - can i just say i'm annoyed with the xml to html converter | 
| 21:59 | it's putting in stuff i don't want in there | |
| 21:59 | Ropuch | Is it normal that HEAD hasn't been updated in three weeks? | 
| 21:59 | nengard | extra <p> tags and stuff | 
| 22:00 | owen | Ropuch: These days it is normal, as our 3.2 Release Manager is very busy | 
| 22:00 | nengard left #koha | |
| 22:01 | Ropuch | But i can see patches form list merged with koha-biblibre.git | 
| 22:01 | owen | gmcharlt: I suggest you start soliciting bribes. I will be first in line. PayPal? Amazon wish list? | 
| 22:01 | Ropuch | Are those two to be merged together? | 
| 22:01 | ;> | |
| 22:02 | chris | @later tell nengard you just have to make an xslt stylesheet then, it converts how it is told to convert | 
| 22:02 | munin | chris: The operation succeeded. | 
| 22:03 | owen | chris: "just" ? :) | 
| 22:03 | pianohacker | XSLT and "just" should never go in the same sentence | 
| 22:04 | nengard joined #koha | |
| 22:04 | chris | hehe well there are piles to choose from, its more just changing the rules for the attributes you dont want |

| 23:05 | hdl_laptop | hi gmcharlt | 
| 23:05 | owen left #koha | |
| 23:35 | chris_n2 | hdl_laptop: why does C4::SQLHelper=>InsertInTable do an INSERT rather than an INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE? | 
| 23:36 | this causes a problem for the import_patron.pl script when overwriting an existing record I think | |
| 23:36 | import_borrowers.pl rather | |
| 23:37 | hdl_laptop | either file a bug or send a patch. | 
| 23:37 | chris_n2 | so you have no problem with that change? | 
| 23:37 | hdl_laptop | Any improvement welcome. | 
| 23:37 | chris_n2 | great, patch on the way | 
| 23:38 | hdl_laptop | chris_n2 My question is : would we want that behavior as default ? | 
| 23:38 | chris_n2 | hdl_laptop: it probably depends on how many places in the code expect to be able to overwrite an existing record by calling the InsertInTable function | 
| 23:39 | hdl_laptop | Or should we raise rather an error when trying to INSERT duplicate information | 
| 23:40 | chris_n2 | the behavior of import_borrowers.pl probably should be corrected rather | 
| 23:40 | * chris_n2 | looks at the script again | 
| 23:40 | hdl_laptop | I donot know many places where the default behaviour is to overwrite an existing row with a new one | 
| 23:41 | My philosophy is do one thing but do it well. | |
| 23:43 | But as I said, if it is not expected to get an error when trying to insert a duplicate row then we should have such fail over set. | |
| 23:43 | Or at least a way to enable that. | |
| 23:49 | rhcl left #koha | |
| 23:51 | chris_n2 | hdl_laptop: the problem is with import_borrowers.pl so I'll fix that | 
| 23:51 | hdl_laptop | chris_n2++ | 
| 23:51 | chris_n2 | although I agree with the need for returning an error | 
| 23:51 | * chris_n2 | cannot see the bottom of his list to add that item to it atm ;-) |
