02:06 chris_n automation++
02:07 rangi did 6629 not make it in?
02:14 chris_n 3 6629 patches made it in
02:14 and one 6628
02:14 rangi ah, just didnt see it in the release notes
02:14 chris_n hmm
02:14 automation--
02:16 rangi hehe
02:16 nice work anyway :)
02:19 chris_n weirdness
02:19 try this:
02:19 http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]C&query_based_on=
02:19 in the "Content:" line I see 6629
02:19 but in the list it does not appear
02:20 rangi how odd
02:20 chris_n bugzilla bug?
02:20 but that's why its not in the release notes
02:20 rangi could be
02:20 ahh makes sense
02:20 chris_n hmm
02:20 several bug #'s appear multiple times in the search string
02:20 none of those appear in the lsit
02:20 list
02:21 I can fix that on my end, but I'd think BZ's search would handle that
02:21 rangi hmm
02:21 yeah that is odd

04:46 Guest18653 hi all
04:47 hope this messages finds you well.
04:48 i am trying to install the latest koha 3.6 with ubuntu 11.10 but have found that I am getting a mysql_config error on the cpan component while installing DBD::mysql.
04:48 If you guys can help that will be great as I find the installation is the same as with the liblime koha. thanks for your help in advance.
05:04 indradg joined #koha
05:05 rangi what distribution of linux are u installing on?
05:05 ahh ubuntu
05:05 follow the INSTALL.ubuntu document
05:06 u shouldn't need to cpan anything
05:06 sudo apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl
05:06 for that one
05:07 but if u really want to cpan it on, which I wouldn't recommend u need
05:08 sudo apt-get install mysql-client

05:12 Oak hello #koha
05:31 cait joined #koha
05:31 cait morning #koha
05:40 Oak hello miss cait :)
05:40 cait hello mr oak :)
05:41 Oak need to make a presentation now for the project...
05:45 cait oh
05:45 have you figured out the other things?
05:47 Oak kind of. at the risk of being wrong however.
05:48 decided to make a public library.
05:48 and said Capital Development Authority and Ministry of Education will provide the funding
05:49 and in conclusion, wrote that the library will work on alternative funding options to decrease its dependence on government funding...
05:49 Brooke has kindly offered to help though :) i just emailed her the things
05:52 indradg gmcharlt, ping
05:53 Guest18653 hmmm i c..
05:54 indradg rangi, around?
05:54 Guest18653 perhaps we should not include that in the INSTALL.ubuntu doco..in 2.4 it says Install DB::mysql  perl module
06:00 indradg folks... i need to build an union catalog using Koha... well sort of... so was wondering if I can pick on the collective brains
06:01 the basic scenario is this - there are 20 something libraries on Koha 3.4 (version can be upgraded) being installed on their local on-premise servers
06:02 these servers are independent of each other at the moment
06:02 now, the management wants to build a central facility that will do the following
06:02 Oak joined #koha
06:03 Oak electricity...
06:03 indradg (a) allow someone to see a search conducted across all 20+ libraries
06:04 (b) allow them to centrally see (as well as over an unified OPAC) how many of these items (that was sought) are out in circulation along with their holding branch
06:04 (c) centrally retrieve circulation data and reporting
06:05 Judit 1library 20 branches?
06:06 indradg (d) have a way for the central mgmt to see who is working on which module at the libraries
06:09 cait indradg: not sure about that - seems a bit hard to do with different installatons
06:12 indradg cait, what they are looking at would require some serious customizations imo
06:12 cait yes
06:12 what is the main reason to keep them on different installations?
06:12 indradg uncertain nature of broadband connectivity in india
06:13 cait seems like all they want is what you would normally do with a consortia
06:13 hm
06:13 indradg so even if the connection is down, they need the local library to go on functioning and re-sync / update the master
06:14 when the connection is restored
06:34 cait indradg: sorry, not alot of ideas about that
06:34 @wunder Konstanz

08:12 rangi wb
08:18 fredericd kf: Do you have your last German translation in 3.6.1?
08:19 kf fredericd: sorry, not sure what you are asking?
08:19 I worked with pootle to translate the files up there, didn't upload anything new
08:19 I checked them locally for fatal errors but all seemed ok, so I didn't do more than that
08:19 fredericd I'm not sure that last .po files have been added to 3.6.x branch
08:20 kf ah
08:20 that could well be
08:20 perhaps been forgotten :(
08:20 fredericd I don't see a commit for that
08:20 maybe
08:20 kf yeah, I didn't see one either
08:20 rangi nope, it was released fast because of 6628 and 6629
08:21 6628 being the really nasty one for 3.6.x
08:21 fredericd I understand, I've seen
08:21 ++ to everybody involved in patching that security hole in the hurry...
08:21 gaetan_B joined #koha
08:22 indradg as per Koha 3.4 schema is action_logs the table for maintaining audit trails?
08:22 rangi ++ to the security people who emailed me too
08:25 indradg rangi, ^^
08:27 rangi thats it indradg
08:28 indradg but all the modules of Koha like setting up of basic params or say currency etc does not log anything to that table, does it?
08:28 rangi nope
08:29 a lot of things are logged
08:29 but not everything
08:58 Guillaume1 joined #koha
09:07 indradg rangi, so, if I want to add logging / audit trails to every other module that does not have it, it is simply including C4::Log.pm and calling the logaction() with the desired 4 parameters?
09:07 or is there something else that I should pay attention to?
09:08 FWIW, I added logging to the currency modification and it seems to be working
09:08 kf perhaps make a bug?
09:09 rangi yeah
09:09 kf a super bug to add more logging and smaller bugs for each feature?
09:09 so can get tested and into koha
09:09 magnuse kf++
09:09 rangi thatd be the way to do it
09:09 and a way to turn them on and off, like the other logging
09:09 kf yep
09:09 system preferences under logs

13:01 francharb hum
13:01 i 've got a question on the patron attibutes
13:02 do you know what the "allow password" option is made for?
13:02 it says "Check to make it possible to associate a password with this attribute."
13:02 i tried to set up one
13:02 and well
13:03 it's still _not_ obvious how it works
13:03 :(
13:03 anyone knows
13:03 ?
13:04 hdl francharb: maybe gmcharlt
13:04 francharb humm
13:04 thanks hdl
13:05 i will try later
13:05 oh no, gmcharlt is connected
13:05 :)
13:05 jcamins gmcharlt is always connected. :)
13:06 francharb if by any chance, you have 2s for my question, i would be very happy gmcharlt ;)
13:06 jcamins, really?
13:06 ok
13:06 anyway, if anyone knows, well, let me know! ;)
13:10 JesseM joined #koha
13:16 kf francharb: I think all it does is  mask the input

13:16 afaik
13:16 hi JesseM
13:16 JesseM Hi kf!
13:18 oleonard joined #koha
13:18 francharb well kf, it masks the infut when i modify the attribute but once i saved it
13:19 no more ••••
13:19 weird
13:19 kf bug
13:19 jwagner The password seems to serve no useful purpose -- once you've entered a password next to an attribute in a patron record, it doesn't use it to block changes to that field.
13:20 Which would seem to be the obvious purpose of it....
13:22 francharb jwagner,  sounds logical but at the same time, as a librarian, why would i want a password protected field in the patron record?
13:23 jwagner I don't know.  I can think of a few situations where staff might not want circ desk people to change data, but the field doesn't block changes by staff with less than superlibrarian rights.
13:23 oleonard jcamins: That Koha 2.2.9 conversation unfolded exactly as predicted! :)
13:24 jcamins oleonard: I know.
13:24 oleonard The off-list reply couldn't have been more textbook
13:25 jcamins Reassuring, isn't it?
13:25 ;)
13:26 * jcamins feels like perhaps he should have said that he's available for doing the migration.
13:26 jcamins Seems like it might be a good way to dissuade further messages.
13:27 oleonard All-expenses paid.
13:28 jcamins oleonard: I meant remotely, but, hell yeah!
13:28 * jcamins packs his suitcase for a trip to India.
13:29 jcamins If only it had coincided with KohaCon. :\
13:30 francharb jcamins, i can see what you mean but if you are at the circ desk and have the privilege to modify borrowers records, then you can bypass the protection. if you dont have these privilege, well then, you can do nothing...
13:30 jcamins francharb: uhhh...
13:31 francharb: oh, you're talking to jwagner.
13:31 francharb oh sorry
13:31 :(
13:31 ;)
13:31 autocomplete--
13:32 anyway, thanks jwagner
13:32 i will try to dig that later!
13:32 jwagner Sorry I couldn't help.  Looks like a feature that was never truly implemented
13:33 francharb jwagner, i think so... i will try to find more about what was the idea behind before reporting this in bugzilla ;)
13:34 jcamins Who did patron attributes?
13:35 francharb i have no idea
13:36 hdl advice was to ask gmcharlt, maybe he is one who can tell us who did this
13:36 * francharb sounds dramatic
13:36 francharb hehe
13:45 gmcharlt what's the question?
13:47 jwagner checking git blame on an older system blames that unknown person gmcharlt :-)
13:48 gmcharlt francharb: ok, I've finished reading scrollback
13:49 francharb any idea?
13:49 gmcharlt the intention of the password feature in patron attributes is simply to allow more than one login password
13:49 I'm sure somebody wanted that back in the day
13:49 but I doubt its commonly used, so I wouldn't be too surprised if it fell prey to bit rot
13:50 francharb thanks gmcharlt, i will test it!
13:51 jwagner I just tested it, it doesn't seem to work in current head....
13:52 kf francharb: sorry, was helping a coworker - I think the idea is to store an additional field - like a pin for self check
13:53 francharb: and I think it should always display masked and is not related to teh other fields, only a separate password field, perhaps for another application or something
13:53 francharb thanks kf, thats what gmcharlt was just telling us!
13:53 :)
13:54 ago43 joined #koha
13:57 kf ah, h ad not read back yet - sorry!
13:58 francharb kf, jwagner and i tested it thinking it would give us another login/password
13:58 but you make me realise
13:58 that it's just a way to store a login/password
13:58 for a third application
13:58 kf something that is not supposed to be seen - I think
13:58 francharb something you can export for exemple
13:58 yep
13:58 kf but should be masked everywhere to makse sense
13:58 I think
13:59 NateC joined #koha
13:59 jwagner gmcharlt, can SIP use that field?
14:04 gmcharlt jwagner: no, doesn't look like its hooked into any authentication mechanism at present
14:04 jwagner Oh, well.  I had an idea for it, but doesn't look like it's feasible right now. Thanks.

17:02 not my personally preferred distro, but there are enough libraries who use (and mandate) RHEL to keep the Evergreen port alive
17:02 jcamins Well, that would be running better than Koha does, I think.

17:12 You know what they say: "life is better when you have a big foam cluebat."
17:13 jwagner jcamins, I personally keep two bats in my office.  One is foam, but the other one isn't....
17:13 jcamins jwagner: probably wise.

18:22 * jcamins gives cait cookies.
18:22 cait yay!
18:23 I have bought fudge ingredients :)
18:23 jcamins Yay!
18:26 schuster something odd happened today and some records didn't get indexed by Zebra - so I want to "reindex" the whole thing at the end of today.  Can I just run migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z without stopping or starting anything in particular?
18:27 I discovered some logs that needed rotation REALLY bad too.
18:27 hdl schuster: yea...
18:28 schuster: I wouldnot play -b -a together.
18:28 Since i think it doesnot work.
18:29 jcamins -a and -b work together.
18:29 cait I didn't have any problems afaik, but not totally sure
18:29 jcamins schuster: that won't reindex.
18:29 schuster: you need -b -a -r
18:29 schuster: you have a pretty big catalog, so I would encourage you to disable the cron job.
18:29 Up until I switched to XML indexing, I always did -b and -a together.
18:29 hdl: you're thinking of -a and -x.
18:32 libsysguy random question: I am getting an account frozen message...I managed to track down that it is being caused by the patron having the debar flag set to 0000-00-00
18:32 it looks like all patrons are set that way unless they are actually debarred
18:33 cait there is a bug for that
18:33 sip?
18:33 wahanui sip is enough to make me drink stronger things than wizzyrea's usual beer. Like whiskey.
18:33 libsysguy oh is there
18:33 cait yep since yesterday
18:33 libsysguy ahh
18:33 cait it's the fine in days breaking it
18:33 hdl jcamins: the last time i used -b and -a together, i had big surprise.
18:33 cait want me to find it for you?
18:33 libsysguy grrr
18:33 cait yes
18:33 grrrr
18:33 hdl So... being quite conservative.
18:33 jcamins hdl: and you weren't using -x?
18:33 hdl no.
18:33 jcamins Or -w?
18:33 libsysguy i've been looking at that all day...I thoguht it was an issue with the hourl ymerge
18:33 cait libsysguy: 7272
18:34 jcamins schuster: *never* use -w
18:34 NEVER NEVER NEVER.

18:35 libsysguy haha

18:38 schuster ok so recap stop the cron job - then using the appropriate user - migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -r  walk away...  In the morning then reactivate the cron for update...
18:40 jcamins Right.
18:40 schuster Thanks for the advice...  We've had weird stuff here lately.  Monday before Thanksgiving the spiders hit, then today Zebra went wonky for 10 minutes ...  It is time to upgrade!  New hardware and softwre!
18:40 jcamins Woohoo!
18:44 rangi morning
18:44 schuster Hey rangi great to see you...
18:44 I'm just getting ready to have lunch.
18:45 rangi im just on the bus to the reserve bank (like u federal reserve)
18:45 schuster All well with your family?  I saw the note about little one staying overnight, didn't know the backstory so hope all is well.
18:46 Don't rob the bank we need you...
18:46 rangi doing some koha training with them
18:46 schuster whew...
18:46 rangi ah he has chicken pox now!
18:46 but that was tonsils and adenoids
18:46 schuster Oh my...  Personally never had them and neither did my grandpa... he lived to 94..
18:47 Allergy problems?
18:47 rangi he still needs one more op on his stomach for reflux
18:47 schuster Oh sorry that is so hard...
18:47 rangi yeah he's a happy little chappy still
18:47 so we are lucky
18:48 schuster Thankfully both my boys have grown out of their allergy stages, we did have to do tubes in both ears.  Then he had trigger thumbs so we had to have that operated on...
18:48 rangi be nice to get it sorted tho, and get some sleep :)
18:48 ahhh
18:48 schuster Yep...  I always felt so bad you can't comfort them enough when they are feeling sick.
18:48 rangi yeah
18:49 schuster well good luck with your training!  Have a great day!

19:25 cait jcamins?
19:25 wahanui well, jcamins is supposed to be an outstanding cook. or well-traveled and brilliant. or trying to think of a solution, but short of a set of three sysprefs (ShelfBrowserUsesLocation, ShelfBrowserUsesCcode, and ShelfBrowserUsesHomeBranch), I don't really have any ideas. or awesome fixing broken email notifications or the wizard that forges queries in the deep fires of zebra
19:25 jcamins Yes?
19:25 cait Oak: was cake or dinner, opted for dinner :)
19:26 no idea what you were saying
19:26 jcamins Oh.
19:26 I'm preparing a handout.
19:26 Oak okay good
19:26 jcamins It includes a checklist.

22:01 I have it ask for one subfield but it always seems to give me all of them
22:02 eythian maybe you need to specify xpath that limits to the first one.

22:24 rhcl No, I want it delivered in <30 minutes.
22:25 wizzyrea that is the most spartan website I've ever seen
22:25 rhcl I'll starve at 50 minutes.
22:25 eythian I'll let you know when fedex/customs finally release my new phone that has been sitting in wellington for the past few days.
22:25 wizzyrea: it's functional :)
22:25 wizzyrea i rather like it
22:25 garlic naan for 1.00
22:25 I can get behind that
22:26 eythian well, you get a regular naan by default. The 1.00 is for the upgrade.
22:27 wizzyrea ooooo
22:27 still!
22:28 rhcl I have never known quite how you are supposed to eat naan.
22:28 eythian open mouth. insert naan
22:28 jcamins rhcl: I recommend chewing first.
22:28 wizzyrea with curry!
22:28 jcamins There are, of course, those who do not.
22:29 rhcl Both of you seem highly qualified to be technical writers.
22:29 eythian actually, where we were in India, the bread was used to make it easier to eat the rest of the stuff with your hands.
22:29 wizzyrea ^^ that was my understanding
22:30 naan = edible fork
22:30 well more like a spoon really
22:30 rhcl I remember eating something in Thailand at an Indian Restaurant. There are about 700 million Indians living there, and the restaurants are just about 100% India authentic.
22:31 I couldn't read the menu, just pointed to something I vaguely realize was dead sheep. It was nothing but bones. Tasty, but bones.
22:31 jcamins wizzyrea: eythian: hopefully you used your right hands.
22:31 rhcl Similar thing in Vietnam. Just pointed at something chicken. Nothing but chicken skin. Chicken Skin.
22:32 eythian jcamins: I only have one right hand.
22:32 mm chicken skin.
22:32 jcamins eythian: yeah, but wizzyrea has one too, doesn't she?
22:32 eythian I don't know, though it seems plausible.
22:32 * jcamins realizes that he's never actually seen a picture of it.
22:32 wizzyrea naw, I type this fast with one hand
22:32 you should be familiar with that
22:33 jcamins wizzyrea: sorry to bring up bad memories.
22:33 * wizzyrea laughs at her terribly awfully awful joke
22:33 wizzyrea oh I made myself laugh
22:34 jcamins wizzyrea++ # for ensuring that someone is laughing in #koha

22:35 wizzyrea but yes, I would only eat right handed.
22:35 :P
22:36 rhcl melia must have had a long lunch.
22:36 melia I always change that and then forget to go eat!
22:36 rhcl probably chicken skin curry. Stuff is heck to chew.
22:37 jcamins rhcl: lol
22:37 melia LOL
22:37 eythian I hope you both actually laughed out loud then, otherwise it's a lie!
22:38 melia eythian: are you calling me a liar?
22:38 eythian that depends, did you laugh out loud?
22:38 wizzyrea look out eythian, she's going to get out "the look"
22:38 melia yep. and I just did it again! :)
22:38 eythian then no :)

23:13 eythian I would, but I'm like that.
23:14 Also in the sense of "would throw it into a river if I could"
23:14 jcamins You'd like my subheading, then.
23:14 * Stream-oriented formats
