00:01 mtj here's some more info about google's penguin update -> http://searchengineland.com/go[…]thm-update-122518
00:01 'Google Penguin Update Recovery Tips & Advice' -> http://searchengineland.com/pe[…]ips-advice-119650
00:03 http://searchengineland.com/pe[…]m-for-that-119698
00:04 bencahill Wow, that site has a lot of deets.
00:06 They say the Penguin update was April 24th, though. I know I searched for 'koha' (I'll look back in my Google Web History in a sec) less than a week ago, and k-c.org was second (after liblime). :-/
00:08 melia left #koha
00:10 mtj looks like the google f*ck-up hit kc.org on 4th june - 2 days ago...
00:10 bencahill Yup, 8:04pm (Central time) Jun 1, I searched for 'koha' and went to koha-community.org from there. So it's within the last 4 days.
00:10 mtj: Ok, that makes sense.
00:11 * bencahill searches a lot, according to Google's history. 25,175 total (and that's just since I've had this account!)
00:40 ago43 joined #koha
01:45 Oak joined #koha
01:59 mtompset joined #koha
02:00 mtompset Hello #koha.
02:00 Anyone awake out there?
02:03 * mtompset waits for the wiki.koha-community.org administrator types to resurface.
02:04 Oak administrator types may pop up.
02:04 we wait.
02:06 mtompset What bugs me is that I saw nengard online yesterday, but forgot to mention my registration issues.
02:06 Oak you'll get another chance :)
02:06 mtompset She's #3 on the list of potentially 6 people that might be able to help me.
02:06 Oak you have a list?
02:06 kidding
02:07 mtompset http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ministration#wiki.koha-community.org
02:07 Oak nengard and bengard were here yesterday, yes.
02:07 mtompset I don't have a list. It's on the wiki. :P
02:08 Oak :)
02:08 mtompset By the way, Oak. I tried clicking the pretty tabs at the top of your page link you gave me yesterday.
02:08 They didn't work.
02:09 Oak yes, i need text / content for those tabs.
02:09 will add them soon.
02:10 mtompset Did you generate those pages by overriding some opac CSS page?
02:10 Oak yup
02:11 * jcamins_away wanders in.
02:11 Oak hello jcamins_away :)
02:11 come in come in
02:11 mtompset Greetings, jcamins_away.
02:13 So you just tweaked a setting in the system preferences somewhere, and added your own CSS?
02:13 Oak yup
02:16 mtompset what version are you running?
02:16 Oak 3.6.4
02:17 * Oak is cleaning his hard disk -- deleting stuff
02:21 mtompset I'm doing a fresh install of koha under Ubuntu 12.04
02:24 base install: 1.5 hours
02:25 apt-get update, upgrade: 20 minutes
02:25 getting same copy as what is running: 5 minutes
02:26 ./install_misc/ubuntu-pkg-check.sh | grep none | cut -f1 -d' ' > ~/installthese.sh
02:27 shoot ... should have | sort first
02:30 then a nice :%s/^/sudo apt-get -y install /g
02:36 roygbivovac joined #koha
02:41 mtompset I figure that should take until mid-afternoon. :)
02:50 bencahill mtompset: I'll be installing on 12.04 soon as well...I'll hang around to see what your outcome is :P
02:52 * bencahill is going to bed now, will be back in a bunch of hours :P
02:52 mtompset Sure... I've done it a couple times, but I'm trying to do it cleanly this time and document steps.
02:53 I am doing this with 3.6.3, which is NOT current.
02:53 But the NEXT test is to do an upgrade.
02:53 bencahill Ah, cool.
02:53 mtompset I'm hoping to transport from Ubuntu 10.04
02:54 to Ubuntu 12.04
02:54 and then from koha 3.6.3
02:54 to koha 3.8.1
02:54 bencahill Oh, so not a fresh install?
02:54 mtompset the Ubuntu 12.04 is frensh.
02:54 fresh
02:54 bencahill Fresh install of koha...
02:54 mtompset The koha 3.6.3 install on ubuntu 12.04 is fresh
02:55 bencahill Oh, you mean just transfer the db and settings, not the actual install of koha?
02:55 mtompset Install Ubuntu 12.04: check
02:55 Install empty koha 3.6.3: check
02:56 Import mysqldmp of koha 3.6.3 being used on ubuntu 10.04
02:56 * bencahill is getting a box with an i3-2120 for new build
02:56 jcamins_away bencahill: woohoo!
02:56 bencahill heh
02:57 mtompset sounds nice.
02:57 bencahill jcamins_away: I figure that will be a massive upgrade from our current P4 2.4 :P
02:57 jcamins_away bencahill: yeah, I think so.
02:57 bencahill ;)
02:57 mtompset But why not an i7-2600k?
02:58 bencahill I think we're planning on getting a dell costing $355...a 500GB HDD and just 2GB RAM...
02:58 mtompset Is i3-2120 the third generation intel?
02:58 bencahill mtompset: The intel pages said 2nd
02:59 jcamins_away bencahill: if I were trying really hard to save money, I probably would've gone with a smaller HDD.
02:59 With 2GB RAM, you're not going to be able to run a whole lot on that machine.
02:59 bencahill jcamins_away: Yeah, we're not paying extra for that...
02:59 jcamins_away bencahill: can't you pay less for a 250?
02:59 bencahill 250?
02:59 wahanui 250 is, like, the number all of those wicked, naughty grant reviewers ask for
03:00 bencahill Oh d'oh
03:00 jcamins_away 250GB.
03:00 bencahill jcamins_away: Not really...we could pay $330 for a tiny computer, but we really don't want that.
03:00 jcamins_away Right.
03:01 bencahill jcamins_away: No, you can't drop it lower than it lets you...the one in question is an Inspiron 260, base model with upgraded CPU to i3-2120
03:01 jcamins_away Well, never mind that idea.
03:01 bencahill I spent the better part of a day figuring out what to buy and scouring eBay and such...
03:01 mtompset Actually, if you are getting a server, why not go with the optiplex?
03:01 bencahill mtompset: Budget is $300-400
03:01 jcamins_away Ahh. The last time I actually bought a desktop, 80GB was standard.
03:02 bencahill (oh, and 'tiny computer' = 10.4" tall o.0)
03:02 * jcamins_away sells bookshelf-sized Koha appliances.
03:02 mtompset That's a tiny budget for a server.
03:02 bencahill jcamins_away: Yeah, most of our computers (including the current P4 server) have been given to us by friends and such.
03:02 mtompset: church...
03:03 mtompset Ah... I understand.
03:03 roygbivovac joined #koha
03:03 bencahill jcamins_away: In fact, the last time we bought a computer before our latest (AMD 5000+, 2GB DDR2, 160GB SATA, Radeon HD 3450) was probably about 10 years ago o_o
03:04 jcamins_away: Bookshelf-sized? Cool.
03:05 mtompset Where are you located, bencahill?
03:05 bencahill mtompset: Texas, USA
03:07 mtompset Okay... just looking up what you are describing. :)
03:07 But I find that you need to look up at the right site location in order to find things. :)
03:07 bencahill mtompset: Ah, I see
03:08 mtompset I've done computer support for our organization, and I'd have to keep asking people: "Where did you buy this computer?"
03:08 Because it was a model sold in Hong Kong, but not the US.
03:08 Or the US, but not the Philippines.
03:08 jcamins_away bencahill: http://www.amazon.com/Zotac-E-[…]1338952082&sr=1-1
03:09 ^^ bookshelf-sized computer for the Koha appliance.
03:09 bencahill jcamins_away: I see...I saw some of those in my searches a few days ago.
03:10 jcamins_away bencahill: I didn't realize you worked for a church library... I thought you had an elementary school.
03:10 bencahill hehe
03:10 mtompset So what kind of inspiron are you thinking of bencahill?
03:11 bencahill mtompset: 260 I think...
03:11 Also I think we were looking at the Vostro 620 MT
03:12 It was 349 a few days ago, but is now 399 :(
03:12 Nope, guessing it's Vostro 260 and Inspiron 620
03:12 (I knew they were switched, but couldn't remember which was which :P)
03:13 mtompset laptop or desktop or all-in-1?
03:13 bencahill mtompset: desktop
03:14 mtompset vostro 260 mini tower... got it... okay.. looking at the specs now. :)
03:15 by the way... good choice on vostro over inspiron.
03:16 bencahill mtompset: Why so? We're looking at the Inspiron because its $50 cheaper (and has a bigger HDD, but that doesn't really matter for us)
03:16 (actually $45)
03:16 mtompset Well, here in the Philippines... heat and environment is a major kill factor.
03:17 vostro survives better. :)
03:17 bencahill Ah.
03:17 brb
03:20 mtompset @wunder EDI
03:21 huginn` mtompset: The current temperature in Edinburgh, United Kingdom is 10.9°C (4:20 AM BST on June 06, 2012). Conditions: Haze. Humidity: 100%. Dew Point: 11.0°C. Pressure: 29.53 in 1000 hPa (Steady).
03:21 mtompset @wunder Toronto
03:21 huginn` mtompset: Error: No such location could be found.
03:21 mtompset @wunder YYZ
03:21 huginn` mtompset: The current temperature in Toronto Pearson, Ontario is 18.0°C (11:00 PM EDT on June 05, 2012). Conditions: Mostly Cloudy. Humidity: 59%. Dew Point: 10.0°C. Pressure: 29.98 in 1015 hPa (Steady).
03:23 mtompset Oh, and while I think of it, bencahill, Trend Micro is one of the worst Anti-Virus packages in the world!
03:25 jcamins_away mtompset: fortunately Koha runs under Linux, and if you keep your security fixes up-to-date, Debian doesn't tend to get that many virii.
03:25 bencahill mtompset: Hehe...I've never used it. We used to use AVG, then MSE for a while, and now Avast! (because its updates work through our proxy, unlike MSE)
03:25 jcamins_away++
03:26 (just for using virii :P)
03:26 * bencahill is now on a slow Windows computer, RDP'ed into his linux box
03:27 jcamins_away bencahill: RDP? Use SSH.
03:27 mtompset Because he probably is used to the gui.
03:27 bencahill jcamins_away: I normally would, but I wanted to use a web browser.
03:27 jcamins_away: 99% of time is SSH (putty)
03:28 * mtompset likes putty. :)
03:28 bencahill It's nice to have the possibility though.
03:28 mtompset: Nice and simple...I use putty portable (portableapps.com)
03:28 * jcamins_away wanders off to get some sleep.
03:28 mtompset why not web browse in the host?
03:28 bencahill jcamins_away: cya, I will be soon as well ;)
03:28 mtompset Have a good night, jcamins_away
03:28 bencahill mtompset: Slow ;)
03:29 mtompset: Probably a years-old XP install on a P4 2.66 with 512MB ram
03:29 (years-old = painfully slow)
03:29 mtompset you are telling me that web browsing in your VM is FASTER than browsing on the houst?!
03:29 ^houst^host^
03:29 bencahill mtompset: RDP..not VM, but yes.
03:30 (RDP is a remote access protocol)
03:30 mtompset I'm aware. :)
03:30 bencahill I don't know what you mean by host though...
03:30 I'm on danlap, viewing RDP on cahilllapa (linux). Web browsing is faster on cahilllapa than on danlap, so I'm doing it there.
03:30 mtompset Are you running a VM?
03:30 bencahill No.
03:31 mtompset Ah, so your linux server is a separate machine.
03:31 bencahill Yes. ;)
03:31 mtompset: It's the one I was on a few minutes ago (thus why I didn't disconnect)
03:31 tmux ftw!
03:33 It feels odd browsing the web so fast on this computer, like something is terribly wrong...in addition to the superior font rendering...
03:33 * mtompset grins.
03:34 mtompset 28/88
03:34 = about 32% done the script I generated.
03:35 Yep... estimating 4.5 hours.
03:35 And that's before trying to compile up koha.
03:35 I mean install.
03:36 bencahill lol
03:37 mtompset So are you more of a librarian type or a developer type, bencahill?
03:37 bencahill mtompset: The latter...sort of...I'd just say I'm a power user.
03:38 I write bash scripts though. :P
03:38 mtompset Okay... so my command line wasn't confusing to you?
03:38 bencahill Like this one: https://github.com/bencahill/b[…]master/picrenamer
03:38 mtompset: Your command line?
03:39 mtompset ./install_misc/ubuntu-pkg-check.sh | grep none | cut -f1 -d' ' | sort > ~/installthese.sh
03:39 bencahill mtompset: Ah, no, looked pretty normal.
03:39 mtompset: I didn't bother to look at the file to see what it did, though. :P
03:40 mtompset Well, I did have to vi it.
03:40 bencahill Yeah, I noticed that.
03:40 * bencahill loves vim
03:40 mtompset :%s/^/apt-get -y install /g
03:41 bencahill mtompset: ofc, you could also do that with sed/perl
03:41 mtompset I did it the way I'm familiar with.
03:41 bencahill Yup...I would as well. ;)
03:42 mtompset I suppose I could do a for loop
03:42 bencahill ?
03:42 Oh.
03:42 mtompset for i in `...`; do sudo apt-get -y install $i; done
03:43 bencahill while read -r pkg; do sudo apt-get -y install "$pkg"; done < <(./install_misc/ubuntu-pkg-check.sh | grep none | cut -f1 -d' ' | sort)
03:43 That's what I would've done, actually.
03:44 mtompset mine's shorter. :P
03:44 bencahill See this: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/001
03:44 mtompset: Yes, but will fail in some cases. See above ^^
03:45 It's best to learn things the correct way, and then you avoid bad things when they might bite you.
03:47 mtompset Why did you $(<file.txt)?!
03:47 bencahill mtompset: I didn't.
03:47 mtompset `cat file.txt` is more legible
03:47 bencahill Ouch...
03:47 mtompset http://mywiki.wooledge.org/DontReadLinesWithFor
03:47 bencahill I didn't read lines with for... :-/ ...you did :-?
03:48 mtompset No, you aren't understanding...
03:48 You are saying don't use for, and then proceed to use $(<file.txt) in your example
03:48 bencahill No...where?
03:48 mtompset http://mywiki.wooledge.org/DontReadLinesWithFor
03:49 bencahill mtompset: Where am I doing $(<file.txt) ?
03:49 mtompset It must be late, or I'm not being clear. :)
03:49 for i in $(<afile); do echo "$i"; done
03:49 from the URL I have said twice.
03:49 bencahill mtompset: Isn't ubuntu-pkg-check.sh something you run to get the desired output?
03:50 mtompset: Thus, I'm running it...not reading it.
03:50 mtompset Yes, but why not `...`?
03:50 bencahill mtompset: With a for loop?
03:50 mtompset Why the whole $(...) mess?
03:50 Yes.
03:50 bencahill mtompset: Because of the links you and I linked to. :-/
03:50 mtompset Yes, if you next `'s you'll have to escape and it gets ugly.
03:51 That doesn't explain it.
03:51 Okay... let's say file X has:
03:51 ef gh
03:51 bencahill mtompset: There are many pitfalls to using for that the wiki explains.
03:51 mtompset It doesn't explain why you used the sample for you used.
03:52 bencahill mtompset: You mean for a command rather than a file? It's the same, just a different source of input.
03:52 mtompset http://mibpaste.com/ea9gcW
03:52 bencahill mtompset: And the 001 FAQ does...search for <( on it.
03:53 mtompset: PRECISELY! for failed.
03:53 mtompset: And you don't want to cat anyway!
03:53 mtompset Oh, because you want the \s on the same line?
03:53 bencahill Yes.
03:54 mtompset: while read -r line; do echo "$line"; done <test.txt
03:55 mtompset okay... just a second.
03:55 Okay cool.
03:55 bencahill mtompset: If you include quotes in yours as well (always a good thing), then it is two characters shorter...that's a very lousy excuse for using something that will fail.
03:55 mtompset I now see what you are talking about.
03:55 bencahill mtompset: Yeah, don't trust me...trust that wiki. It is awesome.
03:58 mtompset: I'd highly recommend reading the BashGuide on that website; it is quite short, but will correct many of the common misconceptions I'm guessing you have. :)
03:58 mtompset Hmmm... looking into IFS
03:59 You can always change IFS to be a different delimiter (eg. \n), then for works. ;)
04:00 But then while becomes shorter. ;)
04:00 bencahill mtompset: Nope, read the page you linked. It's still globbing, and doesn't get empty lines.
04:00 mtompset: Not everything is possible; do things the right way, and you'll be safe. :)
04:00 Oak joined #koha
04:01 bencahill mtompset: Also, as that page talks about, bash is much more inefficient using for to read a file, because it has to read the entire file twice into memory, rather than one line at a time.
04:01 mtompset which is why someone used $var = q{}
04:02 and some qa person asked by not ''?
04:02 bencahill I don't know what that is...
04:02 mtompset and there was a link to some Perl::Critic page.
04:02 bencahill Oh, perl...
04:03 mtompset It got me thinking that perhaps there should be a mass hunt for '' and "" in the entire koha system to bring it up to spec.
04:04 * bencahill doesn't know the first thing about perl
04:04 mtompset Okay, I must conceed that the while method is superior and less fraught with side effects.
04:05 bencahill mtompset: heh, you wouldn't last long in freenode/#bash ;P
04:05 mtompset I don't claim to be a #bash expert.
04:05 bencahill ;)
04:05 mtompset I claim to write usable bash, not good bash. :P
04:06 thanks for the education.
04:06 bencahill No, I just mean that they don't explain things to you in long ways like I did; they whip you into shape quickly :P
04:06 mtompset: np :)
04:06 mtompset that's because #koha folks are friendlier.
04:07 bencahill This is true.
04:07 mtompset I'm just so familiar with 'for', I hadn't got to using 'while'. :)
04:08 Anyways.. lunch for me, and bedtime for you. :)
04:08 Have a good night, bencahill.
04:08 bencahill #koha and freenode/#darktable are two IRC channels I'd describe as friendly...although koha is a bit more organized :P
04:08 mtompset: re: while...that's perfectly understandable
04:08 mtompset: Good lunch to you as well. ;)
04:08 * mtompset laughs, "organized?!"
04:08 bencahill cya
04:08 lol

04:25 mtompset You're not a perl geek, are you, Oak?
04:25 Oak nope.
04:25 but i want to become one. so i can help Koha :)
04:26 but you are right?
04:26 perl geek i mean
04:26 mtompset Sucky... I just ran a mass grep, and was wondering what the difference between "use blah::blah;" and "use blah::blah qw();" is.
04:27 chilts use Something::Something qw(this that); # imports this and that to your namespace
04:27 mtompset I'm a perl geek novice. :)
04:27 chilts if qw() is empty, it'll _not_ import anything
04:27 mtompset then what is the point of the use statement then?
04:27 chilts (assuming the module exports something by default, which it shouldn't)
04:28 the use statement brings the module in and if it doesn't import anything, you can still call Something::Something::this
04:28 and Something::Something::that
04:28 so either you import it with qw(this) or call it using Something::Something::this
04:28 mtompset but you can't this and that directly, unless it was qw(this that)?
04:28 chilts same thing
04:28 correct
04:28 some people like importing things into their own namespace, others don't - your judgement
04:29 mtompset Shouldn't this be something that is more consistent in Koha?
04:29 chilts can't comment on that I'm afraid, don't know the source enough - but I know enough Perl to answer your previous question :)
04:30 Oak chilts++
04:30 mtompset http://mibpaste.com/KGxOOR
04:30 There is also a use YAML::Syck;
04:31 Does qw(f1 f2) reduce the amount of memory used?
04:31 Oak mtompset, you can also use this if you like: http://paste.koha-community.org/
04:31 okay you guys discuss stuff, me go work on fixing my laptop.
04:31 mtompset I learned about paste.koha last night, but I just want quick and dirty.
04:32 So in terms of memory use, does Use blah::blah; use more memory than use blah::blah qw (f1 f2);?
04:38 chilts I don't think it would make much difference and I personally wouldn't worry about it
04:39 better to worry about how the code looks and feels than a few bytes of memory
04:39 in fact, if anything the qw(f1 f2) would probably use more, but honestly, don't worry about it
04:44 mtompset Hmm...

06:11 mtompset good morning, Cait.
06:12 I suppose you aren't any of:     Galen Charlton     Thomas Dukleth     Nicole Engard     Chris Cormack     Paul Poulain     Magnus Enger
06:13 I was hoping one of them might be able to get me wiki access. :)
06:13 rangi maybe, what's your username?
06:13 mtompset mtompset
06:13 wahanui you are doing this with 3.6.3, which is NOT current.
06:13 hdl joined #koha
06:13 mtompset wahanui forget mtompset
06:13 wahanui mtompset: I forgot mtompset
06:15 rangi nope i cant, you need nengard, thd, or gmcharlt for that
06:16 mtompset http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ministration#wiki.koha-community.org
06:16 Says your six names.
06:16 nengard is not listed in the top list of two.
06:17 So, I guess it's thd or gmcharlt
06:17 unless the documentation is out of date. ;)
06:17 rangi http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Users&group=sysop
06:18 you need a bureaucrat, not just an adminstrator, i can block, delete pages etc, i cant elevate privileges, only a bureaucrat can do that
06:18 mtompset Ah... so the documentation needs tweaking.
06:19 http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ministration#wiki.koha-community.org
06:19 The above link should have Nicole's name as person three in the first list.
06:19 rangi no
06:19 thats shell access
06:19 mtompset perhaps even adding a see also link to the page you pointed me at would be useful.
06:20 rangi thats quite different
06:20 mtompset Ah....
06:20 rangi ie, those 2 can ssh into the box
06:20 gmcharlt: about?
06:20 mtompset but bureaucrats will use the same web UI that you are trying to use?

06:37 rangi ahh i think fixed already
06:38 * paul_p think too
06:38 mtompset I think it was fixed in 3.6.4
06:38 rangi yep
06:38 i checked, fixed in master, 3.8.x and 3.6.x branches
06:40 mtompset I'm installing 3.6.3, so transposing data, etc. will be much easier... the goal is OS version update. :)
06:40 koha version update is the NEXT step.

08:41 huginn` mtompset: The operation succeeded.
08:41 nengard mtompset unfortunatly I can't help - I know that emails aren't going out but I'm on the one who manages the wiki ....
08:42 mtompset Oh? But you have bureaucrat access, supposedly.
08:42 Is this really a thd or gmcharlt problem?
08:44 nengard I have rights to delete pages, but nothing related to users - so it's something for someone with access to the admin section of the wiki - whatever controls the sending of confirmation emails
08:44 I think it's gmcharlt
08:45 mtompset But you are listed as a bureaucrat... don't you have such access?
08:46 So this is a SSH access issue.

10:46 rangi david: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]on_Debian_Squeeze
10:46 that's how i install
10:46 david rangi: installing from git files with 'sudo perl Makefile.PL'
10:47 right, this'll be the first perl based environment i've put on this laptop so maybe not so surprising :)
10:47 rangi ah yep, that works too, the nice thing with the koha-common package is it will pull in all the dependencies for you
10:47 david right, i'll try that then
10:48 rangi then you can do the perl Makefile.PL and you should be all good
10:49 medmondson : )
10:49 eythian soon there will be a package that lets you just pull in the perl deps

11:57 mtompset joined #koha
11:58 mtompset joined #koha
11:59 schuster I'm looking at koha-httpd.conf - when I restart apache I am getting NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
12:00 When I look at the configuration file I can't tell what I have done wrong.  The server is up and running, but not all of my virtual hosts are accessible yet.
12:00 * mtompset looks around. "Is anyone else here?"
12:01 * medmondson waves
12:01 samuel anyone with ldap knowledge? I'm also having troubles, certainly of mapping, because i've the following error "Unknown column 'flags"
12:01 mtompset Sorry, I know nothing of LDAP.
12:03 jcamins schuster: probably the hosts are listening on ipaddress:80
12:04 schuster jcamins - sorry that means nothing to me.???  so what should I look at?
12:06 mtompset How are you planning on setting up your koha? the default way with staff client at 8080 and opac at 80?
12:06 schuster yes
12:07 hdl schuster: check that your vhost declaration
12:07 has  :
12:07 *:80
12:07 mtompset just a second... I just did a "fresh" install on ubuntu 12.04... let me look.
12:07 hdl And not xxx.xxx.Xxx:80
12:07 jcamins schuster: if you open up the koha-httpd.conf, check that it says <VirtualHost *:80>
12:07 hdl or any.
12:07 jcamins Exactly what hdl said.
12:08 schuster That is working when I do the standard, but I want to add another virtual host for the opac, with a special configuration and it won't take that.
12:08 mtompset Are any other websites running of this same machine?
12:08 schuster yes that is set on koha-httpd.conf
12:08 no other websites just koha.
12:08 hdl samuel: paste your koha-conf (only the part for ldap mapping)  on paste.koha-community.org
12:08 mtompset Oh, so you want another opac on let's say 1234?
12:09 schuster catalog.pisd.edu - koha-staff.pisd.edu:8080 - urls work.
12:09 mtompset that's not the default configuration.
12:09 hdl schuster: would you mind pasting your koha-httpd.conf ?
12:09 schuster I'm trying to do 001.catalog.pisd.edu - and it will open basically koha but with a different css
12:09 mtompset those are different site names.
12:09 schuster Yep just a minute
12:09 jcamins schuster: okay, I see.
12:09 hdl not on irc.

12:12 ^what^way^
12:12 hdl schuster: I would have only NameVirtualHost *
12:12 jcamins schuster: if you copy from <VirtualHost *:80> to the end of that part, then adjust the ServerName to "001.catalog.pisd.edu", try that.
12:13 hdl And not NameVirtualHost *:port
12:13 %hash=()
12:13 our undef %hash
12:14 %has('a'=>'q') : no way

12:15 jcamins Well, that was a pretty incoherent sentence.

12:17 pastebot "samuel" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "connection ldap" (33 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/432
12:17 schuster jcamins - what do you mean by end of that part?  Take out the whole virtualhost?
12:18 jcamins schuster: I meant, copy <VirtualHost *:80>...</VirtualHost> so that you have a third virtualhost identical to that first one.
12:19 julian_m joined #koha
12:20 oleonard Hi #koha
12:27 JesseM joined #koha
12:30 mtompset scalar keys %hash == 0 is also true for %hash = undef;
12:33 druthb hm..  In the past, I've never cared about the difference.  I darn-near always initialize them as %hash = () on purpose.
12:34 mtompset Well, okay... here's the reason I am asking.
12:34 if (! defined (%hash) ) {...}
12:35 deprecated
12:35 proper translation?
12:35 I'm assuming it requires knowing the difference between empty keys and undef.
12:37 Sorry, it doesn't really have to do with koha, but I figured perhaps some perl geeks might be intrigued by the question.

13:28 NateC Hi Everyone! I hope the conference is going well!

13:30 NateC I thought you might like to hear a recent quote from one of our newly switched library partners (Ex Voyager Library)
13:30 rangi maybe we can do a craft beer night one of the evenings
13:30 NateC I wanted to add this to our press release for them but decided to go with a less colorful one
13:30 * rangi waits
13:30 NateC "Working with our old ILS was like licking the anus of a dead squirrel that’s laying bloated in the sunshine in the middle of the road on a hot summer day.  And there was also a negative side.  Koha is a wonderful improvement."
13:31 rangi hehe
13:31 medmondson : >
13:31 rangi thats a shiny endorsement of voyager :)
13:31 cait ouch

13:51 wizzyrea aww, that's ok :) it's hot here.
13:51 * druthb will be brining goodies from Germany to NEKLS this morning, once we all get stirring around.
13:51 * jcamins tries to think of an additional pro to the "traditional" workflow for analytics, so that the slide will be balanced.
13:51 libcoop joined #koha

13:52 cait hard to find something that is not already sold in US!
13:52 didn't know for example you had haribo (although i should have guessed that)
13:52 bencahill It's active in here this morning! Is the conference still in action?
13:52 rangi yep, day 2 today
13:52 wizzyrea well, it's ever so much more special when it actually comes from the place it was made :D
13:52 bencahill cool

13:54 cait doumo arigatou gozaimasu?
13:54 wizzyrea Google was also hitting websites for aggressive anchor text for keywords in backlinks even before Penguin. Post-Penguin, anchor text diversity becomes more critical. < this is what our problem is, I think.
13:55 francharb slef : does "oi" really mean "hey you"?
13:55 sekjal meeting time (about Ex Libris' Aleph... must control my disdain)
13:55 francharb or something like that.

14:34 bencahill mtompset: How old are you? I'm 18, and going to Basic Training (although not military) in 7 weeks. To get PT Excellence, I need to be faster than 12:54

14:38 mtompset bencahill and I were talking bash earlier. We have an understanding. ;)
14:38 bencahill hhe

14:38 mtompset On second thought...
14:38 bencahill My brother once ran an 11:18... o_O
14:38 * mtompset uses the poking stick excessively on bencahill.
14:38 bencahill lol

15:08 use lib '/home/chris/git/koha.git';
15:09 in the misc/translator/update.pl program.
15:11 jcamins mtompset: don't use update.pl.
15:11 It's deprecated.
15:11 Use translate.
15:12 mtompset I'm not using it... I was just looking for perl use statements, to make sure the package lists were up to date.
15:12 gaetan_B bye !
15:12 jcamins mtompset: okay, good.
15:13 mtompset: definitely a bug, though. I'd report it.
15:13 Eventually the script will be removed, I think.
15:13 mtompset when was it deprecated?
15:14 jcamins mtompset: not sure, exactly. A while ago.

15:24 cait hope you like it!
15:25 shari I'm looking forward to digging in.
15:25 cait so glad the package finally arrived
15:25 I got worried it wouldn't make it in time
15:25 shari Well, it's a bit early for chocolates, but very soon I'll be indulging, I'm sure.
15:25 mtompset Hmm... maybe command-line utilities? it says mainly in misc/
15:25 shari I'll be back to editing, and that makes one hunger for sweets.
15:25 It arrived at the same time we did.
15:25 :-)
15:25 cait perfect timing then even :)
15:26 so druthb got no chance to eat them all up *hide*
15:26 wizzyrea_mib rental charges on itemtypes - makes sense but OY hard to find
15:26 shari lol
15:26 she wouldn't do that!
15:27 cait chocolate ....
15:27 wizzyrea_mib nomnomnomnomnom
15:27 cait :D
15:27 jcamins mtompset: there's no section for internationalization?
15:27 cait rangi was refusing the sweets I offered to him... so glad you know what is good

15:29 (or oh no youre not)
15:30 I am heading back to Teviot now.
15:30 slef sorry... I'll go stand outside
15:31 mtompset There is... but is this really an internationalization problem? or is this a misc utility that needs to be deleted?
15:31 I went with the latter.
15:31 Hopefully it will get noticed.
15:33 * mtompset is sad...
15:33 mtompset Still no wiki access.
15:34 cait mtompset: I am sory, we will try to work something out
15:34 mtompset I was wondering if someone who does have access could tell me what groups they belong to.
15:34 Because I am part of users and autoconfirmed users.
15:35 cait yes, I think it's a permission problem
15:35 slef mtompset: try to update a translation and see if it no longer works?
15:35 cait but we have to find someone who has permission to give permissions...
15:35 I think
15:35 mtompset gmcharlt was here briefly.
15:35 I missed him by 8 minutes.
15:35 druthb shari:  cait:  Yes, she would eat them all up.  Yes, she would.  :P

16:38 jcamins Bug 7818
16:38 wahanui Bug 7818 is waiting for my QA. Should be pretty painless, as it works a charm.
16:38 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7818 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, Passed QA , support DOM mode for Zebra indexing of bibliographic records
16:38 jcamins Ah.
16:38 paul_p++
16:42 paul_p OK, I could make it work. The thing now is to make it reproductible :D (and write how I made)
16:42 Just for fun, I got many zebra errors, the funniest one being :
16:42 18:23:08-06/06 zebraidx(11130) [warn] extract error: generic
16:42 (to say everything : Entity: line 84: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document
16:42 <record
16:42 ^
16:42 18:23:08-06/06 zebraidx(11130) [warn] extract error: generic
16:42 )
16:43 seems it happens when your records are somehow invalid
16:43 (in biblioitems page)
16:43 worked well with grs1
16:46 jcamins paul_p: GRS-1 just failed to handle those records, I think.
16:46 (and any records after it)
16:46 paul_p jcamins not sure that's it. dom indexing work without -x flag, fail with -x. it's not related to my invalid record as I thought
16:48 * druthb blames jcamins
16:48 jcamins paul_p: in that case, you don't have an invalid record, just an invalid marcxml blob.
16:49 paul_p: how did you do that?

16:56 jcamins sekjal: funness awaits!
17:00 SJeffery Does anyone have any thoughts on removing the 505/520 from the either the main display or the description tab of the opac so that it only displays once?
17:03 wizzyrea_mib oh hey, mgeist was here :)
17:03 * wizzyrea_mib waves to her fellow kansan
17:03 mgeist Still here.  It set me away.  I guess because im not talking?
17:04 SJeffery No wave for me?
17:04 jcamins SJeffery: yeah, I've thought about that... a lot, actually.
17:06 I think the conclusion I reached was that probably we need to remove the fields from the Descriptions tab.
17:06 Unfortunately, that's non-trivial.
17:07 wizzyrea_mib ... i didn't know you were a fellow kansan :P
17:08 did I?
17:08 sometime's I'm like a goldfish -- ooh, a bubbler! ooh, a bubbler!
17:09 druthb hi, mgeist!
17:09 * druthb waves at SJeffery
17:09 SJeffery jcamins: IMO it needs to be done. We would probably do that in combination of bug 6617, which should make a big difference.
17:09 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6617 normal, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, NEW , table of contents not printing right if entered right
17:10 SJeffery (I spent 5 years in KS and sitll think of it has home)
17:10 wizzyrea_mib ohhhhhh
17:10 * wizzyrea_mib has lived here for... a long time.
17:11 SJeffery In fact, I was out there last October...I love the Linda Hall library
17:11 There is one we need to recruit to Koha!
17:11 wizzyrea_mib ah yea good pt
17:11 jcamins SJeffery: we really need the ability to hide any arbitrary 5xx fields from the Description tab.
17:11 Oh, the Linda Hall science library is in KS? I thought it was in Chicago.
17:11 * jcamins knows the director of special collections.
17:12 SJeffery no, Kansas City (I cant remember which side of the border it is on)
17:12 jcamins Hm. MO, apparently.
17:12 SJeffery Ideally showing/hiding fields in the opac/serps would be a set of simple configuration changes.
17:13 * mgeist grew up in KS, moved to DC for about 10 years, then moved back to KS
17:14 wizzyrea_mib i think it's technically in MO
17:14 SJeffery *checks the LHL job openings* dangit!
17:14 jcamins SJeffery: agreed. Unfortunately, it's a bit non-trivial to do it.
17:14 (to make it like that)
17:15 SJeffery k. Well fwiw we will be taking care of 6617 one way or another.
17:16 jcamins SJeffery: don't misunderstand me... I know *how* to do it. This isn't a mystery. It's just big enough a project that it will require some serious work.
17:16 wizzyrea_mib plus, $$
17:17 jcamins wizzyrea_mib: well, yeah, that's what 'serious work' means.
17:17 wizzyrea_mib :) I'm just being *explicit*
17:17 SJeffery Yeah. Since it involves such a fundamental change it is probably something we would want to pull in other libraries for
17:17 wizzyrea_mib if someone did a quote, you could like, kickstarter it or something.
17:17 jcamins wizzyrea_mib: good idea!
17:18 SJeffery I just don't want us to end up being the only ones funding every major change:D
17:18 wizzyrea_mib who is "us"
17:18 * wizzyrea_mib is forgetful, remember
17:18 wizzyrea_mib lotta strands in old duder's head.
17:19 SJeffery The corporate library that I work for:D
17:19 * wizzyrea_mib notes SJeffery's skillful skirting of the question
17:20 SJeffery Nah, I just don't like the name showing up in search results, and since the chan is logged...
17:20 wizzyrea_mib ah.
17:20 jcamins Lunch time!
17:23 mgeist Ooh good idea

18:32 YoungPublicLibrarian Hello everyone, I am in need of assistance with writing a Fines and Fees report for my library. I need help writing some code into it that will designate the patron's homebranch or allow us to select the homebranch at the beginning of the report.
18:38 Anyone, any advice?
18:39 sekjal YoungPublicLibrarian:  have you used the Runtime Parameters in SQL reports?
18:40 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjz_o3-SRQU
18:50 YoungPublicLibrarian Thank you sekjal! That was perfect!
18:50 sekjal YoungPublicLibrarian:  glad to help :)
18:51 there are lots of other Koha videos, too, most of them produced by our documentation manager Nicole Engard (nengard)
18:51 she takes requests
18:52 wizzyrea_mib joined #koha
18:52 YoungPublicLibrarian Yes, I've watched quite a few of them. I just didn't realize Runteime Parameters in SQL was what I was looking for... :/
18:52 sekjal ah
18:52 yes, it's not the most intuitive name for the function, I'll give you that
18:59 mgeist Gotta boot to my XP partition, so I will be back later.
19:03 sekjal random idea:  what if, instead of storing the binary MARC record in biblioitems.marc, we stored the MARC::Record object?
19:04 jcamins sekjal: intriguing.
19:04 sekjal then we could get that data structure without having to invoke MARC::Record every time to serialize and deserialize from the binary or xml
19:05 jcamins sekjal: I like this idea.
19:06 sekjal we'd still have to pass MARCXML for indexing
19:07 well, at least for XML-based indexers
19:08 but doing that every X seconds is less intense that reading/writing it for every single biblio-modifying transaction
19:08 jcamins We still have to deserialize the XML into a MARC::Record for indexing.
19:10 sekjal ... yeah, I think this might be a good thing.  store the data in the format it's most often used
19:10 save on processing
19:10 jcamins At no point is MARCXML used directly.
19:10 Nor the binary MARC.
19:11 sekjal hmmm, how susceptible to corruption would the stored MARC::Record object be/
19:11 jcamins sekjal: not very.
19:12 Serialize it with Data::Dumper.
19:13 sekjal ... I'm liking this.  let's us abstract the data structure from the presentation a little bit more
19:13 jcamins sekjal: at least, no worse than with MARCXML.
19:13 sekjal jcamins: so long as it's not relatively worse, it's all okay by me
19:13 jcamins I'm not sure that using a MARC::Record object abstracts significantly, but it does seem like an improvement anyway.
19:15 sekjal would save on processing, and we could access the object directly with SQL, instead of having to use GetMarcBiblio or the like
19:17 jcamins We'd also need the marcxml for reporting.
19:19 sekjal hmm, yes, folks are depending on that as a workaround to get non-mapped MARC fields
19:21 magnuse MARC must die!

19:31 druthb congrats, magnuse!  jcamins just showed me the picture.
19:31 magnuse druthb: thanks!
19:31 jcamins sekjal: adding a follow-up for 6557.
19:32 sekjal awww!
19:33 magnuse ;-)
19:34 jcamins sekjal: passing in $record, $frameworkcode, and $totalissues (costing logical routine separation) for a performance gain seems to be going the wrong way in terms of code cleanup.
19:34 It means we're duplicating code everywhere that we want to update the totalissues.
19:35 That said, if you feel strongly, I don't care enough about code organization/duplication to argue any more than that. ;)
19:35 trea manguse that's a handsome fellow!
19:36 magnuse thanks trea ;-)
19:36 sekjal jcamins:  looking at 6557 was what prompted me to think of finding some kind of faster way to store and share the MARC
19:36 jcamins sekjal: agreed that it'd be nice to have a faster way.
19:36 sekjal efficiency is really important for anything circ related
19:36 jcamins But computers will keep on getting faster.
19:36 magnuse fastest of all: get rid of it! ;-)
19:37 (nah, guess i don't really mean that, for now...)
19:37 jcamins That's why I recommend against enabling instant popularity update.
19:37 The expensive thing is always going to be writing the MARC record.
19:42 mtj morning #koha
19:43 wizzyrea_mib fwiw, I don't think that instant popularity calculation is even worth it - I don't see the point of updating that stuff more than once a day - unless you have an extremely, extremely small or particularly active catalog, the popularity of items isn't probably going to change all that much.
19:44 * druthb chucks handfuls of Skittles at mtj.
19:44 wizzyrea_mib and certainly, imo, knowing what is popular today vs. what was popular 5 minutes ago... I don't see the point
19:45 * magnuse doesn't know the backstory, but thinks what wizzyrea_mib says sounds reasonable
19:46 sekjal jcamins: you mention in the bug report that with DOM, the addition of item circ info could be handled at indexing time
19:46 is that right?
19:46 jcamins sekjal: yes, that's a follow-up bug.
19:46 Somewhere.
19:47 sekjal: but I want to get this in first, because it might change the way the DOM indexing bit needs to be handled.
19:47 Bug 8115.
19:47 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8115 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, ASSIGNED , DOM indexing configuration should compute totalissues from items.issues
19:48 sekjal I would think that the total number of holds should also factor into a material's "popularity"
19:48 but that's complicating the algorithm
19:48 out of scope
19:48 jcamins sekjal: yes, and "totalissues" is specifically about the number of times a bib had an item circulated.
19:49 libsysguy left #koha
19:49 jcamins sekjal: there are sneaky ways to do better, though.
19:49 * jcamins is a sneaky kind of guy.
19:49 wizzyrea_mib yea, out of scope, definitely should be an improvement though
19:50 mtj wizzyrea: hiya - did you get my /msg before?
19:51 wizzyrea_mib uh... just got it
19:51 ok answered you
19:53 mtj woah, anyone seen the cat-copter yet?

20:42 atmanning I am frustrated with koha after bringing in MARC records nothing is showing up in my catalog - what is wrong?  Using 3.8 that came with the live DVD iso
20:43 jcamins faq?
20:43 wahanui faq is found at http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/
20:43 atmanning I can't even seem to be able to manually update my catalog - do I have to run this zebra script every time?  it takes about 1/2 hour!
20:43 jcamins atmanning: take a look at the FAQ I just linked to.
20:43 Where did you get a LiveDVD, BTW?
20:44 shari I'll be working on more patches later, I think.
20:44 Brain needs a rest now. I'm new at this.
20:45 Perhaps this summer will be a koha bootcamp for me.
20:45 I do have an in-house tutor.
20:45 magnuse yay!

20:46 magnuse wizzyrea_mib: nope, things take a little time
20:46 perhaps on friday?
20:46 wizzyrea_mib *nod* i know how that goes :)
20:46 magnuse :-)
20:46 atmanning I found the koha 3.8 live DVD found on sourceforge: sourceforge.net/projects/koha​livedvd-mk/?source=directory
20:48 I had that faq and did run that script (before manually attempting to change the item count on one book and changed location after adding authorized values for LOC) - this is all very confusing grrr...
20:48 jcamins Huh.
20:48 I have absolutely no idea who that is.
20:49 atmanning the faq referred to the script misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v     which I have run a few times
20:50 sekjal atmanning:  are there any error lines output by the script?
20:50 atmanning I just jumped in trying to get help with a new Koha install - looking for help from wise people here..
20:50 wizzyrea_mib a good plan :)
20:50 though I've not ever looked at that dvd before.
20:50 jcamins atmanning: unfortunately, none of us have ever heard of this livecd, so chances are good we won't be able to help much.
20:51 atmanning you want me to paste the output here?  it's 1/2 a screen of messages... no apparent errors
20:51 wizzyrea_mib you can use paste.koha-community.org
20:51 jcamins atmanning: use paste.koha-community.org
20:51 wizzyrea_mib :)
20:52 sekjal atmanning:  yes, the 1/2 screen of messages are the first place to look: will give us some clues as to what's working and what (if anything) is not
20:53 atmanning I'm happy to use something else if I well get better performance long term..    I first tried an install of community version on Ubuntu 12.04 - tons of missing dependencies when running  perl Makefile.PL, backed down to Ubuntu 10.04 - same problems, so I gave up and tried the live DVD 3.2 - big MARC import bug-  now 3.8 live DVD - MARC imports worked ...
20:53 jcamins atmanning: you should always read through the installation instructions.
20:53 They tell you how to install the dependencies.
20:54 YoungPublicLibrarian joined #koha
20:54 atmanning did that - I'm now an expert at cpan, but it couldn't resolve them all
20:54 * druthb waves at YoungPublicLibrarian.
20:54 jcamins atmanning: you wouldn't have needed CPAN.
20:54 YoungPublicLibrarian Hello druthb!
20:54 jcamins atmanning: pretty much everything is packaged.
20:55 koha on ubuntu?
20:55 ubuntu?
20:55 magnuse is there a preferred way to delete things in the staff client? js-confirmation dialog v.s. an extra html confirmation page v.s. just delete once "delete" is clicked?
20:55 jcamins Koha on Ubuntu is http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ki/Koha_on_Ubuntu
20:56 wizzyrea_mib it's not uniform, magnuse
20:56 afaik
20:56 atmanning hmm.... the install instructions said cpan for missing dependencies...   I'm happy to try something better supported...  there seem to be several versions floating around.  What is the recommended platform?   CentOS?
20:56 wizzyrea_mib most people use debian.
20:56 jcamins Debian!
20:57 Or Ubuntu.
20:57 druthb magnuse: you could create a button that says, "delete all these", that actually truncates the table, not just the ones showing on the screen.  that's a good idea.  Suuuuure.
20:57 wizzyrea_mib http://koha-community.org/download-koha/
20:57 jcamins CentOS is only recommended if you feel that your anticipated lifespan is too long.

20:58 YoungPublicLibrarian Okay, I have a report question if someone has time...
20:58 jcamins atmanning: no, you are correct. :)
20:58 sekjal atmanning: you are correct
20:58 wizzyrea_mib it is a debian variant, but not debian :)
20:58 druthb "Debian variation" != "Debian."
20:58 wizzyrea_mib YoungPublicLibrarian: go
20:58 sekjal there is enough divergence in what's in Ubuntu that it can sometimes create surprising 'gotchas'
20:58 wizzyrea_mib ^^ this
20:59 jcamins I wanted to clarify that Ubuntu was close enough for Debian for Koha work.
20:59 Though I only use Debian anymore.
20:59 sekjal I'm running Koha on Ubuntu right now (as I type)
20:59 * wizzyrea_mib runs it on ubuntu too
20:59 * magnuse too
21:00 magnuse (not in production, though)
21:00 jcamins I have one production server running Ubuntu 10.04.
21:00 wizzyrea_mib I run one server on ubuntu, simply because I needed it right away and the OS was already installed :)
21:00 jcamins Soon to switch to Debian, 'cause I got angry with 12.04, and don't believe in second chances.
21:00 wizzyrea_mib harsh!
21:00 atmanning Is there a general consensus on the best platform for a fresh install?   I wanted to use Ubuntu 12.04 and Koha 3.8
21:01 wizzyrea_mib most people use debian, and it's got the fewest real gotchas.
21:01 debian squeeze.
21:01 atmanning I thought the live DVD thing was a great deal but I'm not so sure anymore....
21:01 druthb Debian Squeeze.  3.6.x or 3.8.x, dealers' choice.
21:01 wizzyrea_mib you know, personally, I'd go for 3.6
21:01 YoungPublicLibrarian I want to use the generic report for "Fines w/ Patron & Item Info" from the "SQL Reports Library - Koha Wiki", but I want to have it ask to select a branch before running the report.
21:01 wizzyrea_mib but that's just me
21:01 aha
21:01 YoungPublicLibrarian: ez
21:02 one min.
21:02 YoungPublicLibrarian I tried to use the Runtime video as a guide, but it came back with an error when I ran it...
21:02 atmanning not debian 6.0.5 (latest stable)?
21:03 jcamins atmanning: Debian 6.0.5 = Squeeze.
21:03 magnuse atmanning: on debian you can install with packages: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]on_Debian_Squeeze
21:03 pastebot "wizzyrea" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "for YoungPublicLibrarian" (16 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/433
21:03 magnuse atmanning: "sudo apt-get install koha-common" - that will install all the dependencies
21:04 jcamins atmanning: yes, that's the best way to do it.
21:04 atmanning Downloading squeeze now....  Will be testing in virtualbox...
21:05 YoungPublicLibrarian Okay, so now if I want the borrowers address there as well I can just add things like b.address, b.city, b.state, b.zip...etc? Is that right?
21:05 jcamins The 3.6 packages are still on an underpowered server of mine, though.
21:05 wizzyrea_mib yep
21:05 YoungPublicLibrarian Awesome! Thanks Wizzyrea_mib! You've been an awesome help!
21:06 sekjal atmanning:  are you looking for an installation to test using, or did you want to be edit/add to the code?
21:08 atmanning I am testing whether this will work to port our library from Winnebago - hoping to import 135K marc records after successful install
21:10 wizzyrea_mib YoungPublicLibrarian: did it work?
21:11 sekjal atmanning:  sounds like the packages will work very well for you
21:13 druthb atmanning: You'll probably need to rearrange the item data fields some; MARCEdit can do that, or write a little perl script.
21:14 atmanning this last install (3.8 on Ubuntu 10.04) imported with no modification of export from Winnebago, but then I have problems with items showing up in searches
21:15 druthb the 952 formatting is a little tetchy.  if stuff isn't in just the right place, then the items won't get imported.
21:15 YoungPublicLibrarian Wizzrea_mib: It did not. It gives me this error - <h1>Software error:</h1>           <pre>Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /home/koha/kohaclone/reports/guided_reports.pl line 618.  </pre>             <p>             For help  please send mail to the webmaster (<a href="mailto:staff@bywatersolutions.com">staff@bywatersolutions.com</a>)  gi

21:24 wizzyrea_mib YoungPublicLibrarian: any luck?
21:25 YoungPublicLibrarian Yes and no. I can't get the silly thing to run, but someone else in the consortium took it and tweaked it a bit and now it runs fine. So thanks for the help and I think we got it now!
21:25 sekjal alrighty, time for me to jet off for the night.  cheers, #koha!
21:25 wizzyrea_mib woot :)
21:25 later sekjal
21:26 YoungPublicLibrarian Yes, thank you Wizzyrea! You have been a great help!

21:31 magnuse wow, time to catch some sleep
21:31 have fun, #koha!
21:32 * jcamins records his presentation.
21:32 * druthb makes funny faces at jcamins_presenting
21:35 mtj interesting -> http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how[…]he-penguin-update
21:35 ... looks like kc.org is in a similar situ to wpmu.org
21:38 thanks $god we can now use our google-anal data to help solve the problem, at least
21:39 wajasu joined #koha
21:39 wizzyrea_mib yep, that was the example that I found that seemed most like ours
21:40 LBA joined #koha
21:40 jcamins_presenting Oh my.
21:40 wizzyrea_mib I took off the SEO plugin that did a lot of keywords
21:41 jcamins_presenting I _do_ say "aboot."
21:41 wizzyrea_mib it *may* help?
21:41 jcamins_presenting I have the weirdest accent.
21:41 wizzyrea_mib if the link text doesn't contain a keyword it may help, I mean.
21:41 * jcamins_presenting apologizes in advance to the non-native English speakers in Edinburgh.
21:42 wizzyrea_mib it's ALL about relevancy now
21:42 * jcamins_presenting can't watch himself.
21:42 wizzyrea_mib that's common :)
21:43 jcamins_presenting However, the first part recorded fine.
21:43 wizzyrea_mib another option would be to give the syspref several different options of what to use as link back
21:43 so that it seems relevant
21:45 mtj looking like the short version is... footer links to $your_domain is a no-no ?
21:46 thats my hunch...?
21:46 wajasu i've got my shell script that can create a debiansqueeze+mysql+apache2+koha-common  (it creates a kvm image file via libvirt/virsh in 5min with debian network install.iso and the image in my /dev/shm  /tmp directory.  upon boot its ready on port 80/8080) .
21:46 wizzyrea_mib yes, and I think if we got MDAH to turn theirs off
21:46 and bsz\
21:46 that would be pretty huge.
21:47 bag mtj http://jezebel.com/5916095/tee[…]delicious-oatmeal
21:47 jcamins_presenting wajasu: oh, did you did the livedvd?
21:47 mtj wajasu:  congrats...
21:47 wajasu now, i am working on adding git based dev environment for patches.
21:47 bag mtj make sure you have your sound on when you watch that
21:47 wizzyrea_mib someone was in earlier having trouble with indexing
21:47 bag ;)
21:48 wizzyrea_mib: what's m i b ?
21:48 druthb m-i-b-bit, bag.
21:48 mtj bag:  not now please!  i'm building my radio-controlled cat-helicopter...
21:49 bag:  short for mibbit..
21:49 bag heh that's why I thought of you mtj
21:49 I was totally thinking it was Men In Black…
21:49 wizzyrea_mib because I'm using a <spew> windows computer
21:49 * wizzyrea_mib was in a wow guild once called the "merciless iry brigade"
21:49 wizzyrea_mib or the MIB
21:49 bag like wizzyrea_mib is all spy like
21:49 druthb oi!  Careful with the spew, wizzyrea...I'm in the line of fire.
21:50 * wizzyrea_mib does not spew on druthb
21:50 wajasu jcamins_presenting: no livedvd.   just a script that i wrote that pulls abd builds from deb repos, and with a debian preseed file that does all the koha needed cusomizations.
21:50 jcamins_presenting wajasu: oh, okay.
21:50 wajasu: you should share that. :)
21:51 wizzyrea_mib ^^ this
21:51 wajasu yes.  i'll put it in pastebin, when i get the next part done.  git patch support.
21:51 jcamins_presenting :)
21:51 wajasu then later  in the wiki if folks want it.
21:51 wizzyrea_mib oh, or, you could ask for push permission to contribs
21:51 that might be cool
21:53 wajasu i saw that contribs. and i'll do that.  (one shell script to run).  its runs under my archlinux just fine.  (it assumes one has configured a bridge to the internet right now, and dhcp assigns an ip address, but that can be added later.
21:55 does anyone know how big a git clone is in megabytes.  I need to know off hand for my kvm image size build.
22:00 YoungPublicLibrarian joined #koha
22:00 YoungPublicLibrarian Okay, I was wrong...the report I thought was perfect was missing a few things...So, Wizzyrea, still willing to help?
22:00 edveal left #koha
22:01 wajasu it will be nice for trying out difference distributions, or perl versions, etc.  i can't wait to try to run  koha unit tests.
22:02 shari goodbye, all!

22:42 slef hi drojf
22:42 drojf hey slef
22:42 hope you all had a nice musical evening
22:43 i have a presentation now for tomorrow ;)
22:43 slef where were youuuuu?
22:43 drojf had to finish my slides, took way longer than i thought :/
22:50 jcamins_away slef: are you still here?
22:50 drojf slef: is there some place now where we collect all presentations?
22:51 jcamins_away slef: I'm having some transcoding issues, but I think I've got it licked.
22:51 What format do you prefer the presentations in?
22:52 (MPG, OGG, etc.)
22:53 drojf jcamins_away: video or audio?
22:53 jcamins_away drojf: both.
22:54 drojf from a free software point of view i would say ogg theora/ vorbis, but that is just me.
22:56 jcamins_away Maybe... one ogg theora/vorbis option, and one mpg/mp3 option?
22:59 slef jcamins_away: yep, am still here, but switching windows slowly
22:59 jcamins_away slef: mpg/ogg/what would you like?
22:59 slef I think we have mplayer if I have the same laptop as this afternoon so whatever you think
22:59 jcamins_away Okay, thanks.
22:59 slef display is as described on email
22:59 jcamins_away Yep. :)
23:00 slef bit me this morning
23:00 my own laptop does not seem to like that display
23:00 jcamins_away I'm sending a 640x480 video. The PIP said "just go and die."
23:01 Aaaand, that didn't work.
23:03 * jcamins_away kills his terminal by mistake.
