13:16 kf it's on the wiki
13:16 let me find it for you
13:16 notification overhaul?
13:17 notifications overhaul is http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]aging_rewrite_RFC
13:18 hdl when should it be done ?
13:18 nengard oleonard oh yeah - we have a sys pref for that
13:18 k
13:18 oleonard Not really--it doesn't work.
13:18 Hence Bug 4045 :(
13:19 ...and it should be in the circ rules interface anyway
13:19 kf oleonard: nengard: evil bug :( having somehting configurable tht does not work :(
13:19 nengard i think i'd rather see it on the circ martix page so it can be done on a branch by branch basis
13:19 kf hdl: I th ink we talked about having another meeting after release
13:19 nengard but i marked it as a dup for now
13:19 kf hdl: because at the moment we are all a bit busy
13:20 hdl: and then identify chunks of work and make some plan
13:20 hdl ok
13:21 alex_a joined #koha
13:27 hdl kf when should the next meeting take place ?
13:27 kf is there any schedule ?
13:27 maximep joined #koha
13:27 kf hdl: oyu might want to ask on the mailing list or libsysguy - I think we have not decided on a date
13:28 sekjal joined #koha
13:28 nengard did we decide not to email signed off patches?  Or is that still being discussed? I just emailed one and then thought maybe I shouldn't have
13:29 oleonard nengard: I wonder if that's on the agenda for the holds rewrite (speak of the devil)
13:29 nengard it might be
13:29 that was before i started writing the specs :) so I don't know for sure
13:30 hdl oleonard: nengard good news is that we have some patches for 4045.
13:30 nengard woooo hooooo
13:30 magnuse bug 4045
13:30 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4045 critical, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , No check for maximum number of allowed holds.
13:31 hdl http://git.biblibre.com/?p=koh[…]imoges/bug/MT7053
13:31 Maybe someone can take that on...
13:31 bad news is that it is still H::T::Pro.
13:34 sekjal hdl:  is the BZ number on the commit?
13:35 hdl sekjal: I was not even aware that it was referenced on bugzilla ?
13:36 sekjal hdl:  just trying to find the right bit of code on that branch that applies to 4045
13:40 hdl begins at this patch
13:40 60c5d5ca838b94d9db9b9b8489c8603581ed6df6
13:40 all those are related to that bug.
13:40 It has been done with xercode.
13:42 talljoy joined #koha
13:42 hdl sekjal: just hopes that helps.
13:42 sekjal awesome, thanks hdl
14:20 jcamins Good morning, #koha
14:20 magnuse hiya jcamins
14:22 kf hi jcamins :)
14:23 hi sekjal
14:23 and thx nengard :)
14:23 nengard++

14:24 sekjal morning, kf!
14:34 miguelxercode left #koha
14:43 kf jcamins: around?
14:43 jcamins kf: I am.
14:46 aarkerio joined #koha
14:57 jcamins kf: did you have a question?
14:57 hdl sekjal: is there a "share with/share on" delicious / twitter / and so on feature planned somwhere ?
14:58 sekjal hdl:  that is possible from either SearchForTitleIn or OPACMySummaryHTML
14:58 since they can process the BIBLIONUMBER token
14:59 just wrap whatever service's API code in there, and provide the link back to the material you want to share
14:59 jcamins But do consider the privacy implications of that decision.
15:00 magnuse here's an example: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]OPACMySummaryHTML
15:00 hdl http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]OPACMySummaryHTML
15:00 jcamins (the decision to include a share feature... apparently the Facebook button notifies Facebook every page you look at, even if you don't click it)
15:00 magnuse and there is http://manual.koha-community.o[…]OPACMySummaryHTML
15:01 aarkerio hi! in which table MARC info is saved?
15:01 magnuse jcamins: but this should be pretty safe: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer[…].pl?biblionumber={BIBLIONUMBER}">Share on Facebook</a>
15:01 aarkerio: several...
15:01 jcamins magnuse: yep.
15:02 reiveune bye
15:02 magnuse aarkerio: marc_subfield_structure  and marc_tag_structure are the main suspects
15:02 reiveune left #koha
15:02 aarkerio I am saving an info in  tab 6  -> SUBJECT ADDED ENTRY--PERSONAL NAME + −  -> Numeration
15:02 hdl thanks folks
15:03 magnuse aarkerio: there is also biblio_framework, which is just the names of frameworks
15:03 aarkerio and I am making an SQL report and I like to add it
15:03 magnuse aarkerio: see http://schema.koha-community.org/ for a pretty view of the gory details
15:03 aarkerio is this the current scheme?
15:03 http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Kohastructure.png
15:04 jcamins aarkerio: see the following:
15:04 sql reports library?
15:04 wahanui well, sql reports library is at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]L_Reports_Library
15:04 jcamins ^^ that
15:04 aarkerio thanx!
15:05 magnuse aarkerio: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Kohastructure.png says 2010-05-10 and "This is just the first 54 of 116 tables in kohastructure.sql"
15:06 nengard and that was over a year ago too
15:07 things have changed a little
15:07 magnuse 3.4 had more than a 100 db changes, i seem to recall?

15:18 rhcl Oak!
15:18 Oak rhcl :]
15:21 chris_n wow, rolling back from the package maintainer's version of a pm to the cpan version can be a real chore :P
15:24 rhcl wheels of progress rolling backwards?
15:25 chris_n actually the package maintainer is a couple of years behind
15:30 it was worth the trouble, though.... fixed a bugger of a bug
15:33 * magnuse is slightly curious about what the pm was...
15:34 alex_a left #koha
15:42 chris_n magnuse_afk: Catalyst
15:42 the bug had to do with quoting mysql field names when using dotted notation

15:53 oleonard Of interest? https://github.com/visionmedia/git-extras
15:54 wizzyrea oh
15:54 that 'git feature blah' thing looks pretty hawt
15:55 * oleonard couldn't get it to work, himself
15:55 wizzyrea well i'm not sure it works with repos other than github
15:55 oleonard But I are not smrt.
15:55 wizzyrea it seems to be designed for work with github
15:56 i'm sure one of our leet haxxors could mod it to work with our git tho :P
16:00 francharb left #koha
16:01 oleonard Ah, I guess I didn't read that far :P
16:01 * oleonard being a Drupal user should be accustomed by now to things which don't explain what they do
16:04 libsysguy joined #koha
16:04 libsysguy sekjal?
16:04 wahanui it has been said that sekjal is someone's favorite propeller-head.
16:04 sekjal hey, libsysguy
16:04 wahanui libsysguy is Koha's hottest developer or partying with swedes on his deck
16:04 libsysguy heh that never gets old
16:04 sekjal wahanui?
16:04 wahanui yes, sekjal?
16:05 wizzyrea hehe
16:05 libsysguy anyway I saw where you changed hourly…just wondering what I should do to get it in
16:05 or if I even can do anything
16:05 sekjal libsysguy:  feel like fixing the merge conflicts with current master?
16:05 libsysguy well I've done it 3 times already so I've gotten pretty good at it
16:07 every time I merge I get a conflict with kohaversion and updatedatabase
16:07 but when I merged the first time I had to resolve those
16:07 it took about 20 mins
16:08 the majority of the tt ones are changes to the [% ( var ) %] style
16:08 sekjal ah, okay
16:09 I only looked at one conflict, then decided I should just report it, rather than try to slog through fixing each
16:11 libsysguy yeah they weren't bad…some whitespace conflicts
16:11 * wizzyrea wants the ability to add a parameter to koha-disable instancename -note"ETA to return: X hours"
16:11 wizzyrea and have the note show on the maintenance page
16:11 jcamins wizzyrea: brilliant!
16:11 libsysguy but I can set up a master based install and merge hourly if that will help
16:11 jcamins wizzyrea: I'll sign off over the weekend. :)
16:12 libsysguy wizzyrea:  can we make it a function of the maintainers average typing speen
16:12 speed**
16:12 wizzyrea lol
16:12 ropuch wizzyrea: I was looking for such feture 10 minutes ago ;>
16:12 *feature
16:12 wizzyrea how funny
16:12 well in that case your note would be "ETA to return X hours from XX:XX"
16:13 ropuch Is there any on/off switch for opac? Even without eta?
16:13 wizzyrea yea, in the sysprefs
16:13 opacmaintenance or somethin
16:13 sekjal libsysguy:  any rebasing work you can do is greatly appreciated
16:13 wizzyrea I always search for "maintenance" in the sysprefs.
16:13 sekjal wizzyrea:  what if we make OpacMaintenance syspref text, instead of YesNo?
16:14 wizzyrea or an additional "maintenance text" syspref
16:14 so, turn it on/off, and give your custom text
16:14 that goes with the existing message
16:14 libsysguy sekjal ok, how would i go about submitting it?  Would i just merge and then make a patch to push on that bug?
16:14 wizzyrea we also need a staff maintenance mode
16:14 where it locks out everyone but superlibrarians
16:16 ropuch wizzyrea: Oh, I misread this syspref, I was sure it defines the Koha behavior IF there is a maintenance, not actually switching it ;>
16:16 wizzyrea :)
16:17 sekjal libsysguy:  hmmm, not sure the best way to handle that.
16:17 libsysguy if only this patch wasn't so massive
16:18 sekjal there has got to be a way to encapsulate the merge conflict fixes in a patch, so it can just be added as a followup to the topic branch
16:18 jcamins sekjal: libsysguy: I had to ask rangi to do it for me for the analytic code.
16:18 libsysguy well i guess you could do a git add <conflict files> after merging
16:19 then when you commit it would just add those files to the patch
16:19 i think
16:20 sekjal libsysguy:  that makes sense... do the merge, fix the problems, then format the merge commit as a patch
16:20 but it's probably not so simple
16:21 libsysguy it never is :-\
16:22 jcamins libsysguy: what about rebasing and squashing? Then you'd be left with just one commit.
16:23 libsysguy so checkout hourly…merge with master then commit?
16:23 I'm surprised this hasn't come up before
16:25 jcamins No.
16:25 Checkout hourly, rebase -i onto Master, then commit.
16:25 The issue is the merging. Usually it's rebase.
16:26 libsysguy hmm I have never done that before
16:26 but i can try it
16:28 jcamins libsysguy: it's something like:
16:28 git checkout -b bug_whatever ${HOURLYBRANCH}
16:28 libsysguy following...
16:28 jcamins git rebase -i origin/master
16:29 It should pop up with a long list of commits in a text file.
16:29 libsysguy ok
16:29 jcamins Set the first one to pick, and change the rest to squash.
16:29 Save and close.
16:29 It will complain about errors.
16:30 (merge errors)
16:30 Fix them.
16:30 git add the commits that conflicted.
16:30 git commit.
16:30 libsysguy interesting
16:30 wahanui interesting is good
16:30 jcamins git-bz attach ${HOURLYBUG} HEAD
16:31 Disclaimer: I'm not entirely sure that will do anything like what I think it will.
16:31 libsysguy haha
16:35 kf left #koha
16:35 jcamins Let me know if my instructions work, by the way.
16:39 aarkerio so I guess when I save a new MARC row the fields and values are created "on the fly",  right?
16:40 libsysguy jcamins I will…I just have to finish up this indexing engine for class
16:40 jcamins aarkerio: yes.
16:41 aarkerio but I can't find the table, is not marc_matchers table
16:43 jcamins aarkerio: the data is stored in biblioitems.
16:43 sql reports library?
16:43 wahanui sql reports library is at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]L_Reports_Library
16:43 jcamins ^^ see that page for examples of how to extract MARC data.
16:43 I think it's the first section.
16:44 aarkerio I'll check, thanks!
16:50 * oleonard looks forward to seeing Bug 7031 happen
16:50 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7031 enhancement, P5, ---, ian.walls, NEW , More options for AdvancedSearchTypes
16:51 sekjal oleonard:  I have the patch; I'll put it up on the bug report, along with some screenshots
16:52 ropuch Is there a painless way to bulk update marc records in Koha?
16:55 oleonard there will be ropuch: Bug 5725
16:55 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5725 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, paul.poulain, ASSIGNED , Batch modifications for Biblios
16:57 sekjal oleonard:  how's that one progressing?  I see Paul did an updated patch, and you provided a followup.
16:58 ropuch Hm, sounds nice
16:58 oleonard Hmmm... I guess I didn't answer paul's question in the bug, about how the solve the 000 problem
16:59 * oleonard thinks we're going to have to remove 000 from the options since it doesn't seem to work
17:01 sekjal bulk edits to 000.... how desirable is that?
17:02 miguelxercode joined #koha
17:03 trea joined #koha
17:05 oleonard sekjal: We have an ongoing project of hand-correcting 1000s of records with inaccurate 000 data
17:05 sekjal ...ew
17:05 okay, so bulk editing is definitely a desirable thing
17:05 so this patch needs to fix that, somehow
17:06 cait joined #koha
17:06 trea joined #koha
17:06 oleonard But, as I just commented on the bug, not a blocker for acceptance of the patch
17:06 Better to have it mostly working and exclude the option of editing 000
17:07 sekjal is it working in all other regards?
17:08 oleonard Oh wait, there was another outstanding issue...
17:08 cait hi all :)
17:08 oleonard Damn, I guess I didn't put that on the bug report either.
17:08 * oleonard goes to dig through the IRC log
17:19 aarkerio can I:
17:19 SELECT ExtractValue(marcxml,'//datafield[@tag="600"]/*'), biblio.author, biblio.title, biblioitems.isbn, items.barcode FROM biblio, biblioitems, items WHERE biblio.biblionumber=biblioitems.biblionumber AND biblio.biblionumber=items.biblionumber ORDER BY biblio.biblionumber;
17:19 ?
17:20 cait what are you trying to do?
17:20 this looks a bit overly complicated
17:21 hm, or perhaps it isn't
17:21 reading it again
17:21 does it work?
17:24 sekjal aarkerio:  all the values in all the subfields of the 600 will be squished into a single cell in the return; you won't get separate lines for each 600 in a biblio, or separate lines for different subfields
17:25 aarkerio I want all the records in the catalog and also de 600-b field
17:27 jcamins aarkerio: there's an example that does almost exactly that on the reports wiki. Look through the table of contents.
17:33 kmkale joined #koha
17:34 kmkale Namaskaar #koha
17:41 aarkerio this works:
17:41 SELECT ExtractValue(marcxml,'//datafield[​@tag="600"]/subfield[@code="b"]'), biblio.author, biblio.title, biblioitems.isbn, items.barcode FROM biblio, biblioitems, items WHERE biblio.biblionumber=biblioitems.biblionumber AND biblio.biblionumber=items.biblionumber ORDER BY biblio.biblionumber
17:41 but I don't know why ;-)
17:41 Is funny actually!!
17:44 sekjal aarkerio:  looks like a good query.  only suggestion I'd make is to as an "as marc600" after the Extract Value, so the return headers are a little nicer to look at
17:45 aarkerio yea, right! I will fix that
17:59 Oak how is the hand kmkale ?

18:00 cait hi Oak

18:25 oleonard sekjal: I added another comment to 5725 with a question for paul_p
18:25 sekjal oleonard:  just read... good question
18:26 bryceh anyone here using create_koc_db.pl to create a db for offline circulation?
18:29 sekjal bryceh:  yes, I've done that a few times
18:30 jcamins The packages need to have an option for creating koc databases.
18:30 bryceh how did you deal with getting the files onto the library machine from the server? i know it's probably more of a sys admin question.
18:33 i have the files creating fine and they work. i'm just wondering if anyone has come up with an easy way to pull them onto a windows xp machine nightly. i'm looking at setting up an ftp server and possible a dos batch file, but thought i would ask if someone had a better solution first.
18:38 sekjal bryceh: putting them in a password-protected, web-accessible directory on the Koha server allows the library to pull them down at their leisure (but that's still a manual process)
18:38 something like Dropbox would work; it has a Linux command-line interface that can work with a little persistence
18:38 druthb would be able to address that more thoroughly than I, as she has set it up before
18:38 you may also consider something like rsync (though I don't know how compatible that is with Windows)
18:40 bryceh I was actually wondering about Dropbox. I just wasn't sure about Dropbox and Linux. Maybe I will investigate that a bit.
18:41 ropuch Dropbox is really cool
18:41 Oak so is Wuala
18:42 bryceh Have you used Dropbox with Linux?
18:42 ropuch Don;t know Wuala, but any software working like user friendly rsync is cool [;
18:42 Oak http://www.wuala.com/
18:42 ropuch bryceh: yup
18:43 rangi ubuntuone
18:43 wizzyrea do the package backup routines only save a certain number?
18:43 ropuch I have my Projects/Documents folders symlinked to Dropbox folder
18:43 rangi anything you put in dropbox you should encrypt
18:43 with strong encryption
18:43 the same with ubuntuone etc
18:43 except dropbox has a history of crappy security
18:43 sekjal yes, this db will contain patron information, so security must be considered
18:44 adminacct joined #koha
18:44 adminacct joined #koha
18:44 ropuch I use db only for some non-personal data
18:44 rangi yeah for stuff you dont mind others getting, its fine
18:44 same with googledocs etc
18:45 stuff you'd stick up on a noticeboard at the grocery store :-)
18:45 bryceh so maybe rsync and keep it internal.
18:45 rangi ropuch: the other thing to consider for nzers
18:45 cait rangi++
18:45 rangi is your jurisdiction privacy laws no longer apply
18:46 anything you put up there, can get turned over to the fbi, without your consent etc, or a nz police warrant
18:46 things to remember about the 'cloud'
18:46 ropuch Yup
18:46 bryceh thanks rangi, good advice
18:47 jcamins rangi: libsysguy needs advice on how to share the merge conflict-resolved hourly loans branch.
18:47 I thought you'd use rebase -i, but you'd know better.
18:47 rangi hmm
18:47 id do the merge
18:47 fix the conflict
18:47 and push that fixed branch, to gitorious
18:47 and do a pull request
18:48 ropuch I remeber a guy uisng some version control system to have some directory synced
18:48 jcamins libsysguy: rangi says to push the branch to gitorious after you've merged it.
18:48 rangi hehe
18:48 or any public git repo is fine
18:48 ropuch: yeah there is sparkleshare
18:48 jcamins libsysguy: this is much easier than my suggestion.
18:49 * jcamins hopes that libsysguy has a highlight window.
18:49 rangi http://sparkleshare.org/
18:49 ropuch I remeber trying bazaar in pre-dropbox era to sync my conf files on multiple linux boxes
18:50 wizzyrea soo looking at the script for koha-dump- it will keep infinite backups?
18:50 rangi it will
18:50 bu you dont run it by itself
18:50 you run it by
18:50 koha-run-backups
18:50 wizzyrea hm interesting i don't think that one's on the wiki
18:50 rangi which takes --days as a conf option
18:50 2 by default
18:50 wizzyrea oic!
18:51 * jcamins needs to send a patch in for koha-run-backups
18:51 wizzyrea ok ty, and that one isn't documented in the wiki
18:51 rangi it has inline help
18:52 maybe cutting and paste that into the wiki
18:52 wizzyrea check.
18:52 rangi ropuch: for plain backups of stuff, obnam is cool too
18:52 ropuch Huh, I'm trying tu bulk update marc records - my idea is to fetch marc blog from biblioitems, do some perl-fu on it usuing MARC::Record/Batch and then isnert it back. Problem is I get "Unrecognized character \xE2 in column" when trying to manipulate the record.
18:52 rangi http://braawi.org/obnam/
18:52 jcamins Right now koha-run-backups always runs all of the backups.
18:53 rangi well all the enabled ones
18:53 for name in $(koha-list --enabled
18:53 jcamins Right.
18:53 Except for demo.
18:53 rangi yep
18:53 jcamins Well, I want to have the option to A) backup demo, and B) backup different sets at different times.
18:54 rangi yep, as long as you didnt change the default behaviour
18:54 but did that with switches
18:54 jcamins 12am EST != night in other places.
18:54 Yeah, it's koha-run-backups --instances="name,name2,name3"
18:54 rangi right, and without it does all
18:54 yeah that'd get accepted id imagine
18:55 jcamins Yeah, except for demo. So I can include --instances="demo" and have it work.
18:55 clrh joined #koha
18:55 wizzyrea oo, that script should also look for an existing backup with the same date in /var/spool
18:56 and tack a postfix on it if it finds one.

20:21 rangi ahh
20:21 ill revert
20:22 sekjal wait
20:22 I can patch
20:22 I know the problem
20:22 rangi hmm ok
20:22 :)
20:22 sekjal basically, checkpw_ldap returns cardnumber
20:22 cait sekjal++ :) and don't worry about it
20:22 nengard left #koha
20:22 * rangi gets revert happy near release
20:22 rangi but a patch works just as well
20:23 sekjal but which is passed back through checkpw as cardnumber
20:23 but checkpw's return value is used as USERID
20:23 rangi ahhh
20:23 that;d do it
20:23 sekjal so unless the two are equal, fail
20:23 rangi yeah
20:23 i wonder how i didnt catch that
20:23 sekjal or, if you have a password in the database different than the LDAP password
20:23 and you login with that
20:23 rangi ahh yeah
20:24 that might be whats happening, since we have clients running 3.4.5
20:24 and LDAP
20:25 its been in their sinice 3.4.1 apparently
20:26 there
20:27 wizzyrea they're
20:27 rangi theaaaaeeezzzzre
20:27 * wizzyrea is being funny, not snarky
20:27 rangi ill be the judge of that!
20:28 wizzyrea O.O
20:28 rangi hehe
20:28 sekjal okay, so I'm modifying checkpw_ldap to return cardnumber AND userid
20:28 either the existing local id if it's found, or the userid provided if not
20:28 rangi cool
20:29 sekjal then modifying checkpw to make use of that, and pass it along (in the same form CAS is using)
20:29 then modifying the call to checkpw to set the userid off the returned userid, instead of the cardnumber.
20:29 rangi that sounds perfect to me
20:31 rhcl @seen joann
20:31 huginn rhcl: joann was last seen in #koha 23 weeks, 1 day, 15 hours, 22 minutes, and 13 seconds ago: <joann> night all
20:32 cait rchl: try jransom
20:32 @seen jransom
20:32 huginn cait: jransom was last seen in #koha 2 days, 16 hours, 17 minutes, and 5 seconds ago: <jransom> ethian: my visa took weeks to get
20:32 sekjal okay, so I think this will universally return the same three values for LDAP, CAS, and DB authentication: 1 (for 'authenticated'), cardnumber and userid
20:33 rangi cool
20:33 sekjal argh, no, it's bigger than taht

20:33 sekjal i"ve got to get EVERY instance of checkpw to make use of the proper return values
20:33 rhcl rangi: do I remember seeing a NZ site built on Kete but with a lot of audio (verbal recollections of history???)
20:33 sekjal there are such in installer/InstallAuth.pm and opac/sco/sco-main.pl
20:33 rangi hmmm
20:34 adminacct guys... i tried to pull in the 3.4.5 .deb packages from the koha debian repo... onto a fresh Ubuntu 10.04 install... 'apt-get install koha'.. but failed that it depends on koha-common ... any clue what could have gone wrong?
20:34 rangi a grep should find all instances sekjal
20:34 id just install koha-common anyway not the main koha
20:34 did you read the instructions on the wiki?
20:34 wizzyrea http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ing_Koha_packages
20:35 rangi just the main one is better wizzyrea
20:35 wizzyrea not if you're using ubuntu :P
20:35 I just did it this week.
20:35 rangi yeah but thats lucid
20:35 10.10 has all but one in the multiverse
20:35 wizzyrea ok fair enough
20:35 jcamins adminacct said he was on 10.04.
20:36 rangi ah yeah sorry didnt read right
20:36 then that link will be good
20:36 but short story is, dont use the koha package just use the koha-common one
20:37 sekjal no, I'm okay
20:37 the existing calls to checkpw call for cardnumber first
20:37 rangi rhcl: nope cant recall one
20:37 sekjal so the returned userid value will just fall off
20:37 no modification needed
20:39 indradg rangi, koha-common complains about the 5 or 6 perl deps that prolly miss their candidate numbers or something
20:39 jcamins indradg: that's why you have to follow the instructions on that wiki page.
20:39 wizzyrea ^^
20:40 i swear, it works
20:40 rangi or use a real os like debian :-)
20:40 wizzyrea i did it 2 days ago, 0 issues.
20:40 jcamins It does, I did it a few weeks ago.
20:40 rangi there is a ppa for natty too
20:41 ill make one for onematapeah or whatever 11.10 is too at some point

20:42 indradg figured it and fixed it! thanks guys!

20:50 rangi thats right
20:50 with marshmallows
20:50 for laurel
20:51 one of the things she misses from the US
20:51 bg of course with marshmallows
20:51 rhcl The sugar-free version I tried several times was too weak and flavorless.
20:51 * jcamins takes a note.
20:51 rangi sugar free???
20:51 what the hell is the point?
20:51 wahanui it has been said that the point is not that the koha-community write a page about there software and the PTFS people write a page about there's. the point is that we have useful, informative content about the software and it's history and that anything controversial is closely referenced
20:51 rangi :)
20:51 jcamins rhcl: "let's have sweets, minus the sweetness"?

20:52 cait what is  swiss midd with marshmellows?
20:53 I get it's sweet :)
20:53 rangi its a hot chocolate mix
20:53 for drinking
20:53 cait oh
20:53 rangi you add milk (or hot water)
20:53 cait what happens to the marshmellows
20:53 ?
20:53 wizzyrea they melt
20:54 cait ooh
20:54 jcamins rangi++
20:55 rangi its good!
20:55 you'd like it i think cait
20:55 cait sure sounds like it :)
20:56 * jcamins makes his hot chocolate from cocoa powder, sugar, marshmallows, cardamom, vanilla, and occasionally some other variety of alcohol, too.
20:57 jcamins It's a lot more work.
20:58 wizzyrea i like to make the mix with dry milk
20:59 adding cardamom is a nice flair tho
20:59 sekjal have a good weekend, all!  I'm out
20:59 jcamins wizzyrea: a mix is an _excellent_ idea.
20:59 I should make some some time.
21:00 wizzyrea i use the alton brown recipe
21:00 it's always yummy
21:00 you could even do something like
21:00 make the mix
21:00 and instead of putting vanilla in it
21:00 tuck a vanilla bean in with the mix
21:00 jcamins Ooooh.
21:00 This is a good idea!
21:01 I even have a couple of vanilla beans begging me to find a use for them.
21:01 wizzyrea hehe
21:01 rangi ok
21:01 i vote we spend some time at kohacon
21:01 with a foodie/drinkie session
21:01 jcamins (can anyone else tell I'm feeling the Fridayness?)
21:02 rangi at LCA
21:02 they did a a big shared meal one night
21:02 was a cool idea, but you need a hostel that has a nice big kitchen
21:02 liw I see rangi has been pushing all sorts of vices: hot chocolate, marshmellows, obnam... :)
21:03 cait :)
21:03 rangi: i think it's a great idea
21:03 rangi hehe
21:04 ahh liw, for whom sugar free hot chocolate actually makes sense
21:04 if liw comes to kohacon he can show us some nice places to eat i bet
21:06 liw Holyrood 9A (great hamburgers). David Bann (great, if pricey vegetarian). I'll mention those now, next year I'll have forgotten. Make notes.
21:06 * liw is not a foodie, alas
21:06 wizzyrea it's totally logged.
21:06 * jcamins never went to either of those places.
21:06 didn't eat out all that much, though.
21:08 rangi liw: are you still in canada?
21:09 liw rangi, nah, came back on Wednesday, and moved to Manchester today (Friday)
21:09 bg heya liw

23:08 that does a lot of different queries
23:08 300 queries/sec is not bad
23:09 chobbs 100/patron? Because that's about where it's at this point.
23:09 rangi Uptime: 26088390  Threads: 2  Questions: 2778051423  Slow queries: 878  Opens: 81352  Flush tables: 1  Open tables: 300  Queries per second avg: 106.486
23:09 chobbs Hmmmm. OK, maybe I won;t panic about that :)
23:09 rangi yeah i wouldnt worry
23:10 chobbs I've been trying to figure out freezes all week, and this is the firt chance I've had to really start getting into it.
23:10 rangi if something was hiting apache
23:10 then id suspect that
23:10 but if you are running a bulk import its probably just it
23:10 log
23:10 open a mysql promp
23:10 mysql -uusername -p databasename
23:10 run
23:10 chobbs OK. in that case, where might I be looking for the cause of regular 10 minute freeszes?
23:11 rangi show processlist
23:11 10 min freezes?
23:11 id suspect oom
23:11 or broken disk
23:11 chobbs Yup. Everything locks up, and 10 minutes later everything is happy.
23:11 Soupermanito joined #koha
23:11 chobbs avg load on server shoots up to 100+
23:11 rangi sounds like you are going OOM
23:11 and hitting swap
23:12 chobbs you'd think, but I don't see evidence of it.
23:12 rangi you know what load is eh?
23:12 chobbs even now I'm only using 12% of 9G
23:12 Soupermanito joined #koha
23:12 rangi the average number of jobs queued
23:12 so if its not ram
23:12 IO is the next suspect
23:12 what does the cpu do?
23:13 is the cpu(s) running at 100%
23:13 chobbs apache and mysqld fight to see who gets to hit 100% next :)
23:13 rangi its not someone running a bunch of broken reports?
23:14 theres a lot it could be, but i would check the processlist
23:14 in mysql
23:14 chobbs I doubt it. We've pretty unsophisticated users - they don't use much on reports. I suppose I could do more work on parsing the apache logs before a break and see what's being called up.
23:14 rangi see if its some queries locking the tables
23:14 also maybe turn on mysql slow logging
23:14 chobbs i'll try that. show processlist
23:15 rangi thats the one
23:15 show full processlist too
23:15 chobbs I actually have slow queries being logged.
23:15 rangi right, you could check if there are some dodgy ones in there
23:16 chobbs SHOW COLUMNS FROM borrowers; that's one I wouldn't expect to be slow
23:16 not sure why that one was even logged -  Query_time: 0.000049
23:17 rangi it might have got jammed behine one
23:17 that was locking tables
23:18 chobbs I was overcommitting my ram, so I've lowered the number of max_connections to avoid that as a possibility.
23:19 and max_user_connections
23:19 rangi right
23:19 maybe install iotop too
23:19 and see if its getting io bound
23:19 trick is finding the pattern
23:20 chobbs only pattern so far has been a consistent time of day, ~8:15am
23:20 rangi hmmm
23:20 interesting
23:20 wahanui interesting is sometimes bad or sometimes good
23:20 chobbs lol
23:20 rangi cronjob run then?
23:20 chobbs nope, checked that
23:20 rangi thats really oddd
23:21 does it happen everyday?
23:21 chobbs that might point to a user casued problem.
23:21 4/5 days this week
23:21 rangi even weekends?
23:21 hmmm
23:21 chobbs no, weekdays only
23:21 rangi ahhh
23:21 that is feeling tlike a report
23:21 chobbs to my knowledge (no one compains on weekend)
23:21 rangi maybe its something they do as part of morning routine
23:21 check all overdues or something?
23:21 chobbs yeah, I think you might be right.
23:22 I need to figure out how to filter my apache logs to find it
23:23 I get a 10 minute break in my apache logs whenever this happens.
23:23 rangi ahh yeah
23:23 system jams
23:24 and it wont get logged until it completes
23:24 chobbs so should I be looking after the break then?
23:24 rangi if its something they wait for at the broweser
23:24 id look before and after
23:24 chobbs because I've been looking prior to the break
23:24 rangi yeah id check after too
23:24 druthb joined #koha
23:24 rangi because the access log logs things when they finish or timeout or whatever
23:24 druthb o/
23:25 rangi heya druthb
23:25 druthb hi, rangi.
23:25 chobbs any idea what "internal dummy connection" means?
23:25 cait hi druthb
23:25 druthb hi, cait! :D
23:25 rangi hmmm
23:25 nope
23:25 not ringing a bell
23:26 chobbs http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/I[…]alDummyConnection
23:26 goog le to the rescue :)
23:26 rangi :)
23:29 chobbs hmm. I'm seeing nothing but sco, returns.pl, and circulaiton.pl before and after the break :(
23:32 actually, I'm seeing some 504s several minutes before the break on opac-search.pl
23:32 melia left #koha
23:32 chobbs that seems to be the start of the cascade
23:33 rangi hmm
23:33 its an odd one
23:34 504 is gateway timeout
23:34 are you proxying somewhere?
23:35 chobbs no, there's no proxy involved here
23:36 rangi i wonder where the 504's are coming from
23:36 weird
23:36 chobbs they're coming from apache on the koha server. is it proxying for itself?
23:36 rangi maybe ask, 'what do you do round 8.15 each morning'
23:36 no
23:42 chobbs well, I guess I'll see if the changes I made today help on monday.
23:42 rangi, thanks for talking it through with me!
23:43 rangi no problem
23:43 how you figure it out
23:43 hope even
23:49 cait left #koha
