03:32 Genji_away is now known as Genji
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

04:02 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?
04:24 chris_n2 joined #koha
04:25 Genji 2.6.18-164.el5PAE #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 04:10:44 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux is 64 or 32 bit?
04:27 Amit yum search perl-XML-LibXML
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....

04:57 chris_n2 and wonders back off into LEK purgatory
04:58 Amit heya chris_n2
04:58 chris_n2 howdy Amit
04:58 Amit everything is fine
04:59 chris_n2 heh... as fine as can be trying to code with both hands tied behind my back and one foot too, I think
05:01 Genji hmm, chris_n2? Your Liblime developer?
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
05:07 Genji Beware of the Voodoo.

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.

13:51 owen Hello all non-vacationing Koha worker drones
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 chris_n2 owen: lol
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"

15:37 chris_n hehe
15:38 rhcl Wasn't it you that posted the note about Stephen Abram over the weekend? I'm just now starting to read the articles in American Libraries.  Quite interesting happenings going on I think.
15:38 chris_n I must confess: it was not I
15:38 but I'd be interested in the link
15:39 rhcl It's up above somewhere...I'll look.
15:40 owen "brendan @llater tell chris stephen abram no longer with Sirsi-Dynix. he's gone back to publishing"
15:40 rhcl Ah, I don't have the logs on this computer.
15:40 Have "you all" read the American Libraries" articles?
15:40 chris_n interesting
15:41 * chris_n gives firefox its obligatory bi-weekly restart
15:46 rhcl Interesting Marshal Breeding comment:
15:46 "A ne front has developed in the competition among library automation alternative vendors, who are racing to open up software and allow libraries more access to their data and internal functionality.?

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
16:00 owen is now known as owen-away
16:04 chris_n owen-away: excellent idea... I'll do that right after <BOTTOM_ELEMENT_OF_FILO_BUFFER_GOES_HERE>
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
16:14 hawt
16:14 it's XML, could probably be done
16:15 jwagner But it wouldn't have the screenshots....
16:15 wizzyrea more like links to the pages
16:16 jwagner: how's the foot?
16:16 jwagner Doing better.  I'm pretty much off the painkillers now, but still using the wheelchair to get around.

16:18 jwagner One of the advantages of working from home is that the soundtrack is better.  This morning has been a mixture of Pete Seeger/Arlo Guthrie and Bruce Springsteen.

16:19 jwagner If I listen to music in the office, I make sure to keep it all instrumental, like classical or George Winston or Mannheim Steamroller.  Otherwise I'll start singing along, which might disturb other folks in my corridor.
16:20 hilongo haha .. I guess they are missing your songs now !  ;)
16:20 jwagner But at least I didn't have to struggle with the commute this morning!

19:28 Ropuch ;>
19:28 wizzyrea ^.^
19:29 It just seems like the kind of thing that screams "busted browser" to me
19:29 popups blocked, too aggressive security settings
19:29 something
19:30 is anyone here familiar with the kohatools from contribs.koha.org?
19:30 chris_n right, I tried to suggest to him to look at popup blocking settings
19:30 wizzyrea kyle's report module, specifically
19:31 dollars to donuts he's doing it in IE
19:31 Chaos joined #koha
19:32 chris_n wouldn't be surprised.... I had to ditch IE on my cataloger's computers
19:32 too many quarks
19:32 Chaos I'm so ridiculously bored tonight
19:32 and I have a toothache
19:33 owen chris_n: "had to?"
19:33 * owen is more than happy to ditch it at every opportunity
19:34 * chris_n agrees with that sentiment whole heartedly
19:34 chris_n nothing delights me more on a win32 system than to set Firefox as the default browser
19:34 wizzyrea hehe
19:34 you know what we do in our libraries
19:34 chris_n well.... one thing is more delightful...
19:34 Chaos cough elinks cough
19:34 wizzyrea we set the firefox icon to the big blue E
19:34 >.>
19:34 chilts :)
19:35 good on you!
19:35 chris_n removing win32 and installing *nix tops the list of delightful computer experiences
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 indradg joined #koha
19:36 wizzyrea but we put FF on the desktop with the big blue E
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
19:36 wizzyrea we get very few complaints
19:36 chaos, also fun

20:42 chris_n how are you
20:42 pianohacker Might disappear, internet connection has been weird today
20:42 Other than that, great
20:42 you?
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 nengard just got asked a question I wasn't sure of - can you catalog in chinese and japanese characters in koha?
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
21:33 chris_n fantastic! back in business

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 ;-)
