00:25 chris hiya chris_n1
00:54 chris_n1 cool... html labels appear to conquer the utf8 issues with label printing
00:55 * chris_n1 exports labels in Chinese without problems now
00:55 chris_n1 excepting the fact that I cannot read them ;-)

04:12 wajasu would be nice to have the utf8 label thing solved.  my librarian edits records to not have diacritics and prints a lebel then edits things back. slow and errorprone workaround.

07:16 good ya i have tried to install bt getting sum errors
07:18 r u there hdl
07:19 hdl yes I think you can force installation
07:19 francharb left #koha
07:19 good i m getting errors at localhost
07:20 “localhost” refused the connection.Likely causes of the problem are     * some service isn't started, or    * you got the port number wrong.
07:21 hdl have you read documentation and installed apache vhosts ?
07:21 good no not installed that
07:22 hdl http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ki/Koha_on_Ubuntu

08:15 magnus here's something i never quite understood: why does install.debian recommend doing "git checkout -b myinstall origin"?
08:15 whu create my own branch to install from, and not install from master?
08:17 laurenc1 joined #koha
08:20 laurence left #koha
08:32 richard left #koha
08:33 chris it is master
08:33 everything is a local branch in git
08:34 you can call it whatever you want
08:34 it just depends on what you merge into it, or rebase it on

09:00 reed chris, you there? Jan has a question about Māori surnames
09:00 chris yep
09:01 reed name is--
09:02 Sir Archie John Te Atawhai Taiaroa
09:02 which bit is the surname?
09:02 chris Taiaroa
09:02 reed !
09:02 was her guess
09:02 jan sez thanks
09:02 chris np
09:02 reed she's doing some library index thing
09:04 chris ahh right
09:05 reed she's getting trained to do new things
09:05 article indexing right now
09:06 we've been talking about doing language classes; would help for stuff like that
09:07 chris yup :)
09:21 magnus chris: sorry for being slow... i get that i can call the branch what i like, i don't get why i have to create a new branch to install from. why not just install from master, when that is what i want?
09:23 chris it is master, just called something else
09:23 magnus um, so why call it something else?
09:24 chris because by doing the install it changes some files
09:25 when you do a git clone
09:26 magnus a ha! ;-)
09:27 so later on i want to update the install and do a "git pull", but then git complains because of the changed files in the myinstall branch
09:27 chris yup
09:28 magnus and to update i should check out master, pull, check out a new branch and install/update from that?
09:28 chris well you can do a commit to commit local changes then merge from upstream master
09:29 i like to have master be exactly the same as upstream master
09:29 not have local changes in it
09:29 magnus yeah, sounds reasonable
09:31 btw: can you see the lightbulb above my head? thanks for taking the time to explain that to me, chris!
09:32 chris no problem
09:35 wasabi Q, whats the fedora equiv. of the 'daemon' .deb package?

12:30 magnus oh please, PDF::API2::Simple...
12:32 owen PDF::API2::Simple is a vengeful god which doesn't respond to prayer
12:33 * magnus was afraid of that
12:34 magnus but you are plotting to replace it with good ol' html?
12:34 owen Sounds like chris_n is
12:35 magnus ah, i'm probably getting names mixed up...
12:36 ...again
12:37 chris_n magnus: http://git.koha-community.org/[…]s_n.git;a=summary
12:37 beware the pdf export is somewhat broken in that branch, however
12:38 magnus chris_n
12:38 chris_n++
12:38 d'oh
12:38 i installed Module::Install, but still get "'/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site' returned status 512, won't make", even when doing force install - any and all hints, tricks and tips
12:38 ...are very welcome
12:39 chris_n magnus: I usually cd into the source directory under .cpan and build it myself with sudo
12:41 magnus woohoo, that seems to have done the trick - actually i followed these steps: http://lists.katipo.co.nz/publ[…]March/023254.html
12:57 wasabi chris_n: well done on the utf-labels
13:05 Nate joined #koha
13:06 wasabi chris_n:  whats the perl-module that does the utf heavy-lifting?
13:06 chris_n wasabi: yeah, there's a bunch of cleanup to do on the code, but I was producing chinese labels last evening
13:07 actually, the capability is already in koha since we display multi lingual chars in the browser
13:07 wasabi fyi: a feat i thought was rather impossible!
13:07 schuster joined #koha
13:07 wasabi aaaaah...
13:08 well, the capability is in the web-browser...
13:08 chris_n so I just worked over the pdf code to spit out css parameters
13:09 married that to a template
13:09 and away we go
13:09 wasabi aah, that was my 1st attempt :)
13:09 it failed pretty badly, for me
13:11 but the only real work-around for utf->pdf conversion
13:13 well done, and thanks for your perseverance too!

13:40 tance joined #koha
13:41 tance hello
13:41 owen Hi tance
13:42 tance i uusing koha version 3.06 and i want to create depend branchs
13:43 i have dependBranch on and every user can modify the catalog o the other library
13:43 how can fix this
13:44 owen tance do you mean IndependentBranches?
13:46 magnus is now known as mag_away
13:47 druthb left #koha
13:47 tance yes IndependentBranches
13:48 owen I don't have any experience with IndependentBranches, but I wonder if your users have the right permissions?

14:11 tance does anybody know about my broblem with IndependentBranches on ?
14:12 owen tance: Did you check your user permissions?
14:12 I wonder if having superlibrarian users would cause your problem
14:14 tance yes in the user permision i add the cataloging permision adding modifiing but the user can modify and the record of the other libraries that he is not member
14:14 becouse im builting a federating koha
14:15 owen tance: But not the superlibrarian permission?
14:15 tance not superlibrarian permision
14:15 i am the superlibrarian
14:16 owen Sorry, meeting
14:16 owen is now known as owen-away
14:16 wizzyrea magnus: thanks for asking those questions about git, answered some of my own. :)

14:34 tance joined #koha
14:34 tance does anybody know about my broblem with IndependentBranches on ?
14:35 other librarian edit the record of the other libraries
14:35 i`ve checked the user permisions
14:50 owen-away is now known as owen
14:54 owen tance: Are you talking about bibliographic records or item records?
14:55 brendan_l joined #koha
14:55 Braedon left #koha
14:55 Braedon joined #koha
15:03 tance bibliographic records and item records
15:04 both
15:04 wizzyrea chris_n:
15:04 about?
15:04 owen bibliographic records are not, as far as I know associated with a particular library
15:04 chris_n wizzyrea: here
15:04 wizzyrea woot
15:04 I had a suggestion for the label creator
15:04 (from my librarians)
15:04 owen tance: In my test installation of 3.0.6, I am correctly prevented from editing items which don't belong to my branch
15:04 * chris_n s all ears
15:05 wizzyrea In the search for items bit, they would like to be able to limit the results by branch
15:05 Johnindy joined #koha
15:05 * chris_n runs and hides at the mention of search code 8-P
15:06 wizzyrea lol
15:06 sorry >.<
15:06 chris_n that's a great idea, though
15:06 wizzyrea we have 33 libraries, it gets quite cumbersome sometimes
15:07 chris_n file an enhancement request and I'll take a look at it
15:07 wizzyrea I will do that
15:07 tance but how to limit the search
15:07 chris_n if it is not toooo difficult I'll put it into my fifo buffer :-)
15:07 tance there is no option for this
15:08 wizzyrea :D My librarians might worship you. Perhaps there would be cookies involved.
15:08 * chris_n 's day-to-day buffer is lifo
15:08 chris_n cookies++
15:09 owen wizzyrea: I remembered why I wasn't able to change the batch mod table the way I wanted to
15:10 I wanted to put the title on a separate row, with the field details in the row underneath?
15:10 It breaks the table sorter
15:10 Here's what I'm playing around with instead: http://www.screencast.com/t/zqZUQoWq
15:11 wizzyrea !!!
15:11 owen Check a box to hide the column
15:11 wizzyrea !!!!
15:11 owen Sorry, the checkboxes don't match the results in that screenshot
15:11 wizzyrea I like that idea!
15:12 owen I'm probably crazy, but I'm thinking about saving the selection in a cookie so that it remembers your column choices
15:12 wizzyrea so it's per user too
15:12 that would be SO FRICKIN COOL.
15:12 * owen hopes he's not getting in too deep with this cookie idea
15:13 * chris_n thinks one can never be too deep in cookies

15:55 reva joined #koha
15:56 owen Got the buttons working right at least: http://www.screencast.com/t/DJqUMZ1sf
15:56 wizzyrea <3 that looks so fabulous
15:57 the only thing, I wonder if you could put the homebranch in the first column?
15:57 or does that make it look dumb
15:57 looking again to see what you've got in there
15:58 ISBNs?
15:58 reva hi all good morning, I am in the process of installing my 3.2 Koha in Debian Lenny. In the instruction page, I am at the stage where I am invoking CPAN archives to install the addition dependencies for Perl module.
15:59 owen wizzyrea: I'm not wedded to the ISBN showing there, but the script was written that way. I just fixed it so it worked.
15:59 I don't think I would find it useful myself
15:59 tance left #koha
16:01 reva Should I answer to configure as much as possible automatically? (Yes) or opt for manual. In which case, how do I know which ones I have installed through the Debian package, so that I won't duplicate them?
16:01 owen wizzyrea: So you would add homebranch to the title/author column?
16:02 reva Also when would I use this command (I am following the install instruction page): /etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm initialized.
16:03 CGI515 joined #koha

16:04 reva wizzyrea, was that for me?
16:04 wizzyrea Ah, they claim that the ISBN is useful
16:04 er
16:04 useless
16:05 they claim the isbn is useless
16:05 by the time you're at that table
16:05 Drl-Ulm OWEN: Hey that rocks! Will be very useful!
16:05 wizzyrea owen++ he's awesome
16:06 reva: no, for owen
16:06 brendan_l left #koha
16:06 brendan_l joined #koha
16:07 reva owen, waht is the "no" for?That wizzyrea was not responding to me; or to not take the automatic configuration option?
16:08 owen reva: No one has answered your question yet
16:08 reva wizzyrea, sorry, just a little cross-eyed today; reading everything right to left. Got it.
16:10 CGI573 left #koha
16:12 reva anyone able to answer if I should I let it configure automatically? (Else, how do I find what Perl dependencies were already installed through Debian?)
16:12 owen reva: You should follow the directions, and let CPAN configure everything
16:13 reva thanks owen. :)
16:15 chris_n1 joined #koha
16:17 druthb left #koha
16:18 Drl-Ulm OWEN: Ah, show and tell
16:18 reva Now, it asks if I need the Probe-perl-0.01.tar.gz installed permanently"? (It has the comment that it is just needed temporarily). Should I say I want it permanently, or no?
16:22 wizzyrea you know, when I am faced with such questions, I do what I think is best according to my judgement. You probably should do the same. No one can tell you how to configure your system, because their way might not be your way.
16:23 occasionally I get it wrong and have to back up and try again, but there's certainly no shame in that.
16:24 Drl-Ulm Here is one, a quick change we could add, click here->  http://www.screencast.com/user[…]b81d-4e5880879d3e  <- puts google previews into Koha. Needs to be made an option, easy setup:
16:25 laurenc1 left #koha
16:26 owen That would be a nice addition to the Google Jackets options Drl-Ulm
16:28 Drl-Ulm Could be an option
16:29 reva That is true wizzyrea. But just seeing the wisdom out there. Now "i /Test::More\Locale::Currency::Format/" command comes up with "bash: i command not found".  (I am assuming in the perl module all this will be working, only the Test is composed wrong.)
16:32 Drl-Ulm Here is another, barcodes for cell phone being used as a patron card. click here -> http://www.screencast.com/user[…]8b10-9659dacaaf0f
16:37 You need linear imaging barcode scanners to be able to scan an LCD screen cellphone
16:54 Here is another link to our internal "Stow-Extras" tools we use. Lots of work on these, can't show all results because of patron names -> http://www.screencast.com/user[…]be89-1bb416eb5f1f
16:55 I need to submit some of this stuff back to the project :)
16:55 Always working on Win-PCs however - sigh.
16:57 cait joined #koha
16:57 cait hi #koha
16:58 owen Hi cait
16:58 mag_away is now known as magnus
16:58 magnus hi cait
16:59 cait hi owen and magnus :)
17:00 Drl-Ulm It's alot, I need to submit some of this back.
17:03 schuster drl-ulm were those built with php?
17:03 schuster left #koha
17:05 Drl-Ulm The OPAC stuff is Perl / Koha and the Slip Scheduled Notice is Perl
17:05 All the rest of the stuff is PHP
17:06 reva Hi anyone, the command "/etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm initialized." says permission denied; yet I am at the root.
17:08 owen Are you instructed by the install file to enter that?
17:09 reva owen, yes; it says to initialize it if you have never run CPAN before.
17:10 As I have to run Config.pm for the CPAN before the long command (with all the ::checkdigit, etc.) will take effect.
17:11 as otherwise, is not able to install the modules it thinks is needed.
17:12 wizzyrea lunchtime!
17:12 Drl-Ulm 3D Koha maps: Now for the 3D map project (in progress) by location / call project similar to NEU-GRAND in Turkey Click Here --> http://www.screencast.com/user[…]84c2-eb2ca3555b83
17:13 magnus reva: just give the "sudo cpan" command, i think
17:13 Drl-Ulm Yes, it is def. in progress.
17:14 magnus reva: i dont think "/etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm initialized." is supposed to be a command
17:16 reva magus, I am at root; I tried all combinations of sudo; when I prepend sudo it says sudo (followed by whatever) unable to resolve hot ABBS05 (which is the computer name).
17:16 So magnus, what is the command.
17:16 owen reva: sudo cpan
17:16 reva for initializing the CPAN Config.pm; I just following the instructions on the page. Ok owen, I will try that.
17:17 magnus reva: what owen said... ;-)
17:17 reva since I am at the root I did cpan and it now has the cpan[1]> command prompt.
17:18 so which command would I be running at this prompt now?
17:18 do I run the long command at this prompt?

17:26 reva ok magnu. I will.
17:28 cait has someone email enabled in their dev installation? I have a patch for new serial issue notification not working
17:28 reva magnus, are the back slashes supposed to be included, or do i just continue on the line and let it wrap?
17:28 cait I would be nice if someone would signoff on it
17:29 magnus reva: not sure, try it! ;-)
17:32 owen is now known as owen-away
17:34 cait owen flees :)
17:37 reva magnus, it is saying that "make install" returned bad status, install seems impossible. Anyone know what to do?
17:41 magnus reva: sorry, that could be a ton of different reasons...
17:43 reva ok, let me give you a page  from another site; if you see that can help me (though the instructions are for Ubuntu not Debian), would you take a look?: http://www.blazingmoon.org/gui[…]k3-on-u810-6.html
18:02 nengard joined #koha
18:08 magnus reva: that is for an older version of koha, on another os. i think sticking to install.debian is better
18:08 hiya nengard!
18:08 nengard howdy
18:09 magnus waiting for your book to arrive ;-)
18:13 cait hi nengard :)
18:13 serials training - even more questions
18:13 reva ok, where would i find the old password in mysql so I can run "sudo mysqladmin password <password>" also, is the new password supposed to be surrounded by anything?
18:14 nengard cait - i feel your pain :)
18:15 Drl-Ulm book ++
18:15 cait could be worse, questions are ok, although I suspect some bugs hiding there too
18:15 we had some strange dates like XXX and 02/00/0
18:19 wizzyrea reva: no.
18:21 reva ok, so where would i find the old password so i can insert in the command and replace it with the new (without enclosing, of course; thanks wizzyrea).
18:22 Drl-Ulm Galen: R U on?
18:22 gmcharlt hi Drl-Ulm
18:23 Drl-Ulm gmcharlt: Hi. If I have a patch for 3.2 which is a small enhancement, can this get into the 3.2 release?
18:23 reva This is an aside for anyone: i copy and pasted lines of commands from the instruction web page; but now all my commands are in bold? how do I un-bold the command line edits?
18:23 gmcharlt Drl-Ulm: definitely into 3.4, possibly back-ported into 3.2.1 depending on what chris_n thinks of it
18:24 Drl-Ulm OK, it was just a couple of quick ones - if you think they would fly. One is the Google Preview function, added independantly of other Google / Amazon / etc. options
18:25 gmcharlt: the other is tools->news->and add a slip option to print scheduled news items on the checkout slips
18:25 gmcharlt: should I go ahead and submit?
18:25 wizzyrea we've been in feature freeze for a long time for 3.2
18:25 gmcharlt Drl-Ulm: yep, both sound worthy of consideration, so go ahead and submit for 3.4
18:26 chris Yeah those could go into 3.4 assuming they pass QA
18:26 Drl-Ulm wizzyrea: gmcharlt: OK, I will toss them on for 3.4 to see if they fly, thanks.
18:27 chris Once colin as qa manager has looked at them, then I would look at them for 3.4 inclusion
18:30 Because with 3.4 we are going to be aiming for a time based release, I'm gonna be a bit stricter about what goes in, having your patch signed off by others helps its chances
18:30 As does unit tests and good documentation
18:31 Of course we plan to work with ppl to help them achieve that
18:32 Make sense dr-ulm?
18:36 reva hi i do not even see a mysqladmin file for it to change the password. There is a mysql folder with my.cnf. I do not see a password in it when I look at it in the reader.
18:37 chris I should hope not
18:37 reva chris, are you answering me?
18:37 chris Yes
18:37 And I'm gonna say www.mysql.com
18:38 There are docs there
18:38 reva ok, I did not get that. At this point I am not sure any packages were installed through Debian.
18:38 Drl-Ulm gmcharlt: also working on an opac (patron) controlled automated email message sent when new items arrive based on a patrons preference. Here is the Link: http://www.screencast.com/user[…]afdf-38f0293e8607
18:39 gmcharlt: I will work on sending these, 2 of them are already done, thanks
18:39 chris: yep, makes sense, I was called out on the floor (again) a frequent occurence
18:40 Thanks people!

19:12 jcamins Is there any way to get a list of all topical authorities?
19:12 When I change the authority search from "Default," I get a 500 Error.
19:14 (unless I enter something into the search, but what I want is a list of every single topical heading)
19:16 cait jcamins: I am sorry, I dont know how to get them all
19:17 jcamins: the empy search does not work there
19:18 reva so how do i list the packages that are there in the debian install? is there a command for that/
19:20 jcamins cait: I'll have to file a bug for that.
19:21 Thanks for checking.
19:21 owen reva: Why do you need to?
19:23 richard joined #koha
19:29 reva because I am not sure what packages I selected when I installed (I used the built inGUI installer for Debian). I remember picking sql and perl and I see two folders that it has created for them. But when I follow the instructions per the web page, it is throwing up "errror" or command not found msgs.
19:30 jcamins, hi. I am in the middle of installing mysql. (Just to let you know, i do not see a folder for yaz or zebra; i only see ones for mysql and perl).

19:33 magnus left #koha
19:33 jcamins reva: other than saying that if you follow the instructions exactly, you should end up with a working Koha installation, I don't know what to tell you. To learn more about Linux in general I suggest this book: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/ (I've never read it, but it looks like it provides an introduction)
19:37 reva thanks jcamins. but i have followed and the first part seemed to have worked. and the perl module threw up a lot of msgs as well; but i was told by someone here to ignore and see what happens if i went on to the mysql part.:(
19:37 jcamins Okay, that makes sense.
19:37 collum left #koha
19:37 jcamins So just run step 2.1-whatever.

19:43 cait hm time for a nap here too :)
19:43 only 3 work days before kohacon :)
19:43 good night all :)
19:43 reva yes jcamins, the 2.1 is giving me trouble.
19:43 cait left #koha
19:43 reva it says it cannot find mysqladmin.
19:44 jcamins Did you run all the steps before that?
19:44 Steps 1.4-1.5?
19:45 reva yes, just the perl module steps came up with some errors; but i was told that some of them may be inocuous and to go ahead to the mysql part.
19:46 jcamins Strange.
19:47 Then I have no idea what to tell you.
19:48 reva i think it ran ok to 1.5; but i remember having to tweak the command for 1.5. so I am not sure what happened at 1.5. also, cpan perl installer gave a lot of make "this" failed kind of msgs.
19:48 jcamins reva: how did you tweak the command for 1.5?
19:50 chris_n any ideas on what the designed scope of the borrowers permission was/is in light of the fact that the variable name used in members.pl is NoUpdateLogin?
19:51 was the intent simply to disallow modification of patron login info?
19:51 or more broadly to disallow modification of all patron info?
19:51 chris the former i think
19:51 reva ok, install_misc ....it said install_misc...cannot be found. I cannot recall the tweak though. :( But I did have to do something to the command.) (Oh wait, may be I had switch it back to root to execute that.) But now I am logged in as root, so that is not the issue.
19:54 jcamins reva: I would suggest you start over at step 1.3. It will not break anything if you run a step twice.
19:55 Other than that, I have no suggestions.
19:56 reva Ok, I will do that start from 1.3. Thanks jcamins:)

20:39 how to enable the book covers in opac
20:40 wizzyrea do you have an amazon aws account?
20:41 CGI020 no
20:42 chris what version of Koha?
20:42 wizzyrea Then you should get one, first (if you want amazon covers)
20:42 CGI020 koha 3.00.06
20:43 wizzyrea have a look at http://koha-community.org/docu[…]l/?ch=c19#AEN1024
20:43 under "amazon"
20:43 CGI020 i dont want amazon covers i want to add manualy mo covers
20:44 chris well built in , yuo can either use google or amazon covers, there is no built in way to add your own
20:44 CGI020 ok thanks
20:44 wizzyrea it's a copyright problem, anyway, for most things.
20:44 (unless the books are out of copyright, of course)
20:46 * jcamins supposes he probably won't have to worry about that issue when he starts working on custom book cover image support, since he works with sixteenth and seventeenth century books ;)
20:46 wizzyrea nope, def not
20:50 briceSanc Koha is a Liblime's registred trademark ????
20:51 chris in the US yes
20:51 briceSanc or KOHA is a Liblime's registred trademark ????
20:51 chris probably KOHA
20:51 briceSanc ok...
20:52 chris its bogus either way :)
20:53 wasabi a quick Q? liblime managed to reg. KOHA , not Koha, in the USA?
20:53 chris you'd have to do a tm search it might have been koha
20:53 they did it years ago
20:53 it doesnt really matter
20:53 its more the lies on the site that are offensive ;)
20:54 wasabi so why are they attempting a capitalization hack on the word?
20:54 chris same reason they changed the logo
20:54 wasabi KOHA, not Koha, koha , etc?
20:54 chris to distance themselves from actual koha
20:54 wizzyrea http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/sho[…]te=4003:2ce3l.2.2
20:55 chris theres nothing on the site that mentions koha-community.org .. or any of the history of koha
20:55 they are pretending they are KOHA
20:55 wizzyrea wasabi does that help at all?
20:55 wasabi sure it does
