| 06:33 | * magnuse | listens to the echo |
| 06:40 | mtj | happy weekend magnuse |
| 06:45 | magnuse | thanks the same mtj! |
| 07:17 | mtj | oooh lianza2012 |
| 07:22 | rangi: i think i've 'improved' the 'Latest Koha contributors' stats, from ohloh -> http://dash1.kohaaloha.com/ | |
| 07:23 | they do seem a few days laggy :/ but automated :) | |
| 07:25 | 'Melia Meggs 2012-09-11' was the most recent committer, according to ohloh | |
| 07:28 | (the test db is many weeks old, so most stats are incorrect) | |
| 08:05 | magnuse | mtj: http://dash1.kohaaloha.com/ gives me server not found |
| 08:05 | http://dash.kohaaloha.com/ seems to work, though | |
| 09:04 | oh normarc, how much do i hate thee? | |

| 10:26 | what an impressive list of bugfixes for 3.8.5 | |
| 10:29 | magnuse | yeah, getting better every day! |
| 10:41 | mtompset | Greetings, tcohen. |
| 10:42 | I was surprised that I had five bug fixes in 3.8.5 | |
| 10:42 | You work on tiny fixes, and you don't realize they accumulate. | |
| 10:43 | magnuse | hehe mtompset++ |
| 10:43 | mtompset | Thanks, magnuse. |
| 10:46 | tcohen | mtompset++ |
| 10:49 | mtompset | I couldn't have done this without the support of my financial partners. A well run library means access for translators to current useful translation information which means someone gets life changing information made available in their language. |
| 11:56 | Anything new with anyone? Or is it just your typical weekend? | |
| 12:00 | tcohen | just waiting for my sunday's tennis match |
| 12:12 | mtompset | watching or playing? |

| 12:18 | there's some latency in my side, sorry | |

| 12:59 | koyauni joined #koha | |
| 13:00 | koyauni | is there any instruction for upgrading Koha 3.8 to 3.8.5 on Debian 6+ please |
| 13:01 | mtompset | Which kind of install did you do again, koyauni? |
| 13:01 | packages, right? | |
| 13:02 | sudo apt-get install koha-common? | |
| 13:03 | 3.8.5 packages haven't been released yet. | |
| 13:04 | My guess is the upgrade is pretty simple: sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, go to the administrative interface, click through the upgrade process (if any) there, and then do a full reindex. If there are problems, check out bug 6566. | |
| 13:04 | huginn | 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6566 enhancement, P3, ---, christophe.croullebois, Pushed to Master , Checking if DB records are properly indexed |
| 13:15 | koyauni | I did common pack |
| 13:16 | then I have to wait if it has not been released yet | |
| 13:24 | There is no upgrade process in Admin page | |
| 13:34 | mtompset | not admin page. the staff client. |
| 13:35 | if you log in to the staff client and there is an web installer page, then you need to do the full reindex, and if you have problems look at the bug I mentioned. | |

| 16:57 | mtj | ptfs-- |
| 17:06 | drojf | how would i check out 3.8.5 in git? |
| 17:07 | mtj | the same way you would get out 3.8.4 in git |
| 17:07 | git reset --hard TAG | |
| 17:07 | drojf | i guess so… and how is that? :D i only ever checked out origin/master |
| 17:08 | cool, thanks | |
| 17:09 | mtj | so... |
| 17:09 | $ git fetch --tag | |
| 17:09 | $ git tag | |
| 17:10 | git reset --hard v3.08.05 | |
| 17:12 | before the git reset, i usually make a 3.8.5 branch, then change to it, then reset TAG | |
| 17:13 | drojf | that's what i did now, thanks :) |
| 17:13 | mtj++ | |
| 17:13 | mtj | then chery-pick patches from your master branch, of whatever you wanna do |
| 17:15 | the trick is… a TAG is just another name for a specific commit, in git | |
| 17:15 | for me, understanding that made tags easy | |
| 17:16 | drojf | yeah that makes sense |
| 17:17 | hm segmentation fault does not make sense | |

| 19:18 | ExtraordinaryBen joined #koha | |
| 19:21 | ExtraordinaryBen | Hello, I'm trying to get the cron job setup to rebuild zebra's index (following the Koha on Ubuntu guide on the Wiki,) every 5 minutes. But anything I put in /etc/cron.d/koha doesn't seem to run.. (Even a simple echo command.) Any help would be appreciated. ;) |
| 19:31 | jcamins_away | ExtraordinaryBen: if you used packages, the packages should handle that for you. If you used a tarball, I still recommend that you use your user's crontab. |
| 19:32 | ExtraordinaryBen | Yeah, I used a tarball when I installed |
| 19:33 | I'm just trying to debug if it's actually running. | |
| 19:33 | jcamins_away | ExtraordinaryBen: I wouldn't be able to help you with /etc/cron.d. |
| 19:33 | I've been using Linux since my FreeBSD system died 6 years ago, and I have never had a use for /etc/cron.d. | |
| 19:34 | ExtraordinaryBen | Okay, I can give crontab a go. ;) |
| 19:39 | @jcamins: Okay, here's what I've got in crontab for testing: */1 * * * * /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -a -b -z && echo "Successful rebuild of Zebra Database!" | |
| 19:39 | huginn | ExtraordinaryBen: I'll give you the answer just as soon as RDA is ready |
| 19:43 | jcamins_away | ExtraordinaryBen: once per minute is too frequently. |
| 19:43 | And you need to set KOHA_CONF and PERL5LIB in the crontab. | |
| 19:43 | mtj | ExtraordinaryBen, just use the packages... |
| 19:44 | jcamins_away | There is an example.crontab somewhere. |
| 19:44 | And, yes, packages are superior in every way. | |
| 19:45 | mtj | having a problem configuring cron?, use the packages |
| 19:45 | ExtraordinaryBen | Yeah, I was thinking a minute was too frequent. :P Alrighty, I will try to get to work on that. (Though I'd hate to start all over again. :P) |
| 19:50 | Okay, so, whats the best way to go about this in my situation then? I've already setup Koha using a tarball, and we've already begun adding books to the catalog, do I just install the package or is there some cleaning up of the instance I have now I should do first? | |
| 19:52 | jcamins_away | ExtraordinaryBen: easiest is probably just install the packages, create an instance, and then change the koha-conf.xml file for that instance to point to your current database.5D |
| 19:53 | ExtraordinaryBen | Okay, thanks. ;) |
| 19:59 | Bah, packages aren't friendly when using powerpc hardware. :P W: Failed to fetch http://debian.koha-community.o[…]squeeze/InRelease Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-powerpc/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | |
| 20:00 | jcamins_away | ExtraordinaryBen: oh, you're on PowerPC? |
| 20:01 | You should have mentioned that... I just knew you were using Ubuntu or Debian per our recommendation. :P | |
| 20:01 | ExtraordinaryBen | Yup, I hadn't considered that packages for Koha would be hardware specific. |
| 20:01 | jcamins_away | They're not, but you need a different line in the source.list file. |
| 20:01 | raspberry pi? | |
| 20:01 | wahanui | Raspberry Pi embedded computers run Koha just fine. :) See http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]on_a_Raspberry_Pi |
| 20:01 | jcamins_away | ^^ if you look for the apt line there, that'll tell you what to put in. |
| 20:02 | ExtraordinaryBen | Awesome, is there anything Pi cannot do? :D |
| 20:03 | jcamins_away | We only have an amd64 system for building packages, so other architectures aren't built automatically, despite the fact that nothing is compiled. |
| 20:12 | ExtraordinaryBen | Okay, package installation is underway. :) |
| 20:21 | Okay, packages are done now. But I'm rather clueless where to go from here | |
| 20:30 | Anyone? I've got a Koha system "down for system maintenance" now. How do I go about setting up this new instance of Koha with the packages now that my old tarball instance no longer works? | |
| 20:34 | Grr.. this is why I was concerned about installing the packages. It's broken my tarball instance and the Wiki guide doesn't really explain how to do things under my circumstances. | |
| 20:37 | This is so not cool leaving me hanging... | |
| 20:38 | cait | if it's in maintenance |
| 20:39 | normally logging into the staff interface will trigger a database update | |
| 20:39 | or you have to switch the maintenance system preference | |
| 20:39 | it's late in a lot of places of the world | |
| 20:39 | and it's weekend | |
| 20:40 | ExtraordinaryBen | True, and thanks. |
| 20:44 | mtj | do your setup on a different system, for starters - so you dont have that problem in the 1st place :( |
| 20:47 | ExtraordinaryBen | mtj: I was following what jcamins recommended |
| 20:48 | jcamins_away | ExtraordinaryBen: there is a reason my nick is *_away* |
| 20:49 | If you want guaranteed help on a Sunday, you may pay me. | |
| 20:49 | Otherwise, I will try and help amongst and in between those other things I am doing. | |
| 20:50 | ExtraordinaryBen | fair enough |
| 20:55 | Okay, I've got access to the staff interface, it's doing the web installer. How do I go about setting it up to old config? | |
| 20:56 | jcamins_away | ExtraordinaryBen: open up /etc/koha/sites/whatever/koha-conf.xml and change it so that the database name, user, and password (at the end) match your old config. |
| 20:56 | No need to go through the whole web installer. | |
| 20:59 | ExtraordinaryBen | Okay. everything seems to be working. Sorry for getting all steamed up earlier. I tend to get frustrated when I can't figure things out on my own. |
| 20:59 | Hopefully using the packages will allow Zebra to build it's index automatically now? Or is there something I still need to do? | |
| 21:00 | jcamins_away | ExtraordinaryBen: three things. |
| 21:01 | 1) disable the cron jobs you set up manually | |
| 21:01 | 2) open the staff client to go through the upgrade database process. | |
| 21:01 | 3) reindex by running `koha-rebuild-zebra --full instancename` | |
| 21:02 | Oh, one bonus thing: | |
| 21:02 | Disable the old site file. | |
| 21:03 | After doing a complete rebuild, the indexing will be done automatically. | |
| 21:04 | ExtraordinaryBen | Hmmm.. is koha-rebuild-zebra a script somewhere? it doesn't seem to work straight from the commandline |
| 21:06 | jcamins_away | ExtraordinaryBen: it has to be run as root. It's suid. `sudo koha-rebuild-zebra --full instance` |
| 21:10 | ExtraordinaryBen | I don't think I actually have an instancename setup, do I just do 'sudo koha-rebuild-zebra --full' then? |
| 21:13 | jcamins_away | ExtraordinaryBen: what do you mean you dont' have an instancename setup? |
| 21:13 | You must have set up an instance. | |
| 21:13 | It's whatever you called the instance. | |
| 21:13 | (koha-create whatever) | |
| 21:14 | ExtraordinaryBen | What I mean is. I'm pretty sure the packages just installed where I installed the tarball. (/usr/share/koha) I suppose koha is my instance then |
| 21:14 | jcamins_away | No, that's not how it works. |
| 21:14 | You must have run koha-create? | |
| 21:15 | ExtraordinaryBen | maybe with the tarball last month, but since I've installed the packages |
| 21:15 | jcamins_away | If you didn't run koha-create, you're still using the tarball install. |
| 21:15 | koha-create is only for packages. | |
| 21:15 | ExtraordinaryBen | okay |
| 21:15 | jcamins_away | So all that did was update some files. |
| 21:15 | packages? | |
| 21:15 | wahanui | packages is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian |
| 21:16 | jcamins_away | At some point you must have diverged from those directions. Could you tell me where? |
| 21:17 | ExtraordinaryBen | I had been using the "Koha on Ubuntu" guide. So I was never using the Debian guide. (Which explains a lot now.) |
| 21:19 | jcamins_away | Ah. |
| 21:19 | Yes, that would be a problem. | |
| 21:20 | (I mean, not a "oh no, your system is screwed up forever" problem, just a "well, that's a nuisance" problem) | |
| 21:23 | ExtraordinaryBen | Okay, instance "library" created. how to I disable the old site file? |
| 21:25 | jcamins_away | `sudo a2dissite oldfile` |
| 21:25 | Now you're going to open up /etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml and modify the database, username, and password at the end. | |
| 21:25 | (alternatively, you can load the data into the koha_library database) | |
| 21:26 | (I prefer the second option; for some unknown reason, everyone else always takes the first) | |
| 21:29 | ExtraordinaryBen | first one seems easier. Rather than copying databases. |
| 21:31 | Is there somewhere I need to add the zebra user and password? Or is that only for the Ubuntu guide? | |
| 21:33 | jcamins_away | You never need to set the Zebra user and password. |
| 21:33 | You can always just leave it as the default. | |
| 21:36 | ExtraordinaryBen | Okay, the old "koha" site is disabled. The new Library instance seems to be having some overlap issue |
| 21:36 | when restarting apache2 | |
| 21:36 | http://74.85.46.58/ | |
| 21:36 | Waylon joined #koha | |
| 21:36 | jcamins_away | o.O |
| 21:37 | I have no idea how that happened. | |
| 21:37 | ExtraordinaryBen | * Restarting web server apache2 [Sun Sep 23 14:35:33 2012] [warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 80, the first has precedence ... waiting [Sun Sep 23 14:35:34 2012] [warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 80, the first has precedence |
| 21:37 | jcamins_away | I have never seen anything like that before. |
| 21:37 | Waylon | greetings all. .... Happy birthday Nate., anyway, ... damnit..... |
| 21:37 | jcamins_away | Yeah, but the output probably isn't from that. |
| 21:38 | apache2ctl -S | |
| 21:38 | Use paste.koha-community.org | |
| 21:39 | ExtraordinaryBen | Ah, there seems to be a site called "default" that's on port 80 |
| 21:39 | Waylon | oh right... anyone like the idea of user accounts able to be assigned to multiple branches, and they only able to search inside those branches? Or is that another feature that mandumah needs to keep to itself? |
| 21:39 | jcamins_away | ExtraordinaryBen: try disabling that. |
| 21:39 | a2dissite default | |
| 21:40 | ExtraordinaryBen | yup that did the trick. :D |
| 21:40 | jcamins_away | Waylon: uhhh... no idea. |
| 21:40 | ExtraordinaryBen: okay, *now* you do the koha-rebuild-zebra command. | |
| 21:40 | And disable the cron jobs you set up. | |
| 21:41 | ExtraordinaryBen | Already removed the crontab for user koha, and deleted the /etc/cron.d/koha file |
| 21:41 | rebuild done | |
| 21:41 | jcamins_away | Okay, you're done now. :) |
| 21:44 | ExtraordinaryBen | Phew, about time zebra starting working on its own. (I hope!) Do you have PayPal jcamins? I would like to send a couple dollars your way as a thank you. (snack or soda or whatever) |
| 21:45 | jcamins_away | Glad I could help. :) |
| 21:47 | ExtraordinaryBen | I'll be sure to refer to the "Debian" guide from now on. ;) (Learned something about apache site instances today too!) Again thanks all who helped me. ;) |
| 21:49 | Waylon | jcamins_away, the concept is, for mandumah at least, we have so far, five seperate 'libraries', that users can search, depending on what they've paid for(mandumah.com is a subscription only digital library archive, 296k articles in pdf format, of 2019 journals/conference papers) so, instead of a user having one branch, they are given multiple branches, and are only able to search within those branches (even when no branch is selected |
| 21:49 | in searches, the branch limits are enforced. good amount of coding i did for that.) Would this have any merit being released, as a syspref option (multiple branches/exclusive searches to those branches, so maybe two sysprefs) | |
| 21:49 | ? | |
| 21:49 | ExtraordinaryBen | Now I just need to work on the opacmainuserblock. :P Catch ya'll later! ;) |
| 21:50 | jcamins_away | Waylon: I'd say you should definitely submit it, and see what other people think. |
| 21:50 | * jcamins_away | is having trouble visualizing exactly how it would work. |
| 21:50 | Waylon | its been working fine. |
| 21:50 | on koha 3.0 | |
| 21:51 | it basically does alot of branch: limiting. | |
| 21:51 | it relies on items for each branch, being used. | |
| 21:52 | since its pdf based, we don't have any physical items. but we create them in order to introduce the branch limits. | |
| 21:52 | * Waylon | thought of that one. |
| 21:58 | Waylon | jcamins_away, okay, a for instance, say that there was two libraries, massey palmerston north, massey Auckland, and they had no automatic interloan system. So, normally, the libraries only want people to be able to search over one library, the one they are with. Except some people are able to search over both of them, such as staff. Provided they have both branches set in their account, their default "unlimited" search will search b |
| 21:58 | oth libraries. | |
| 21:58 | you follow now? | |
| 22:04 | jcamins_away | Waylon: got it. That might well be of interest. |
| 22:05 | Waylon | right. ill write it up in such a way as to be manageable. |
| 22:06 | and syspref is the good idea here? | |
| 22:07 | jcamins_away | Waylon: I think maybe what you want to do is use independantbranches (yes, spelled incorrectly). |
| 22:07 | Waylon | as in, you don't want every install to support multiple branches, and don't want every install, limiting searches to the branches selected. |
| 22:07 | jcamins_away | Then you just have to worry about making it so patrons can be multi-homed. |
| 22:08 | Oh, yes, definitely a syspref for the first one. | |
| 22:08 | Waylon | yeah.. thinking a BorrowerAttribute? |
| 22:08 | jcamins_away | That would make sense to me. |
| 22:08 | Waylon | multiple 'branchcode' attributes on one user account. |

| 23:01 | mtompset | What timezone are you in? |
| 23:01 | eythian | NZST |
| 23:02 | jcamins_away | eythian: welcome home |
| 23:02 | eythian | cheers :) |
| 23:02 | mtompset | home is a strange word, jcamins_away. |
| 23:03 | Having stayed in multiple countries and places, I think I like the "home is where the heart is" definition best. | |
| 23:04 | jcamins_away | mtompset: also, the word for home often has an extra case. |
| 23:05 | (locative or the like) | |
| 23:05 | * Waylon | has never been outside NZ. "Haven't been outside palmy in 10 years." |
| 23:05 | mtompset | Waylon: some travel is good. Too much, and you'll start feeling nomadic. ;) |
| 23:05 | Waylon | now living by myself, so now looking forward to any koha events coming up in wellington. |
| 23:06 | ah.... well.. one first of all has to be able to afford 'too much' travel. | |
| 23:06 | eythian | Waylon: there's been a number of smaller koha events here. |
| 23:07 | Waylon | oooo? whats happening? |
| 23:07 | eythian | just user group meetings and the like |
| 23:07 | Waylon | ah? these are regular events? |
| 23:08 | eythian | not yet. There's been a general one, and I think a special libraries one. |
| 23:08 | Waylon: right now the rest of the koha team is in palmy | |
| 23:08 | Waylon | Wha?! |
| 23:08 | here?!? | |
| 23:08 | wahanui | here is where I work |
| 23:08 | Waylon | where? |
| 23:09 | eythian | http://www.lianza.org.nz/news-[…]ence-2012-welcome |
| 23:09 | Awapuni Function Centre | |
| 23:09 | they're manning a booth I think, you should go say hi. | |
| 23:09 | Waylon | Holy... |
| 23:09 | eythian | rangi (Chris), kathryn (Kathryn), and anitsirk (Kristina) |
| 23:10 | Waylon | question is, whats the best time to catch them? |
| 23:11 | eythian | I guess there'll be someone around the whole time, but I don't really know. |
| 23:11 | Waylon | i mean, conferences usually have talks etc.... and lunch breaks and .. yeah. |
| 23:11 | eythian | I'm surprised rangi isn't online right now to slake his IRC addiction :) |
| 23:12 | I think there'll be someone there the whole time, but they'll probably try to catch the interesting talks. | |
| 23:12 | Waylon: if you PM me a cell number, I can send it to Chris to get in touch with you if you like. | |
| 23:12 | Waylon | haha. don't have a cellphone # |
| 23:13 | don't have a phone number until the 26th, when xnet installs my naked adsl. | |
| 23:13 | eythian | ah right |
| 23:13 | in that case, you could email him. He'll probably check it some time. | |
| 23:16 | papa joined #koha | |
| 23:16 | tcohen joined #koha | |
| 23:16 | mtompset | Greetings, tcohen. |
| 23:19 | Waylon | hehe... Catalyst IT, Booth 00. |
| 23:19 | Licensed to thrill? | |
| 23:19 | eythian | heh |
| 23:21 | Waylon | 12.30pm |
| 23:21 | Lunch among the Exhibitors -- means that the exhibitors will be absent, or that everyone will be there? | |
| 23:23 | eythian | I have no idea. |
| 23:23 | I haven't seen these people for 3.5 months, I'm not the best person to ask :) | |
| 23:23 | I suspect that it means that everyone will be there though | |
| 23:24 | * Waylon | has never actually met a koha developer, personally. |
| 23:24 | eythian | I've met a bunch. |
| 23:24 | Waylon | haven't i bugged them enough already, on IRC? |
| 23:24 | hmm. | |
| 23:24 | cait left #koha | |
| 23:24 | eythian | but, I've been to three kohacons. |
| 23:25 | Waylon | got money, will travel eh? |
| 23:25 | eythian | got a company willing to sponsor it, anyway :) |
| 23:26 | although the first one I went to was in wellington, so a short trip. | |
| 23:26 | Waylon | haha. yup. What do you/your company get out of it? |
| 23:28 | eythian | marketing, developer networking, things like that. |
| 23:28 | Waylon | hmm... would that be as vaulable to a all digital library such as mandumah? |
| 23:29 | eythian | I have no idea |
| 23:29 | although talking to people about things in person is often beneficial | |
| 23:29 | Waylon | we basically only use a subset of what koha is capable of... but that subset, koha does amazingly. |
| 23:30 | suppose i could go... hmm... got an hour to get there.. | |
| 23:30 | ibeardslee | I'd suggest that if you are using it as an all digital library, getting to a kohacon to talk to people and tell them about your experiences would be a very good thing. |
| 23:30 | eythian | that's true |
| 23:30 | Waylon | in hottest part of the day, walking. |
| 23:30 | eythian | that is often an area that people have questions about |
| 23:30 | Waylon: get a bike | |
| 23:31 | Waylon | haha. yeah. something im definately getting once this porting project is done. |
| 23:32 | my maximum allowed injection of funds without benefit deduction (I still can't work 40 hour weeks, i find it really difficult to concerntrate sometimes .. that and i have Aspergers syndrome) in one go. ($5k nzd) | |
| 23:33 | eythian | ah right |
| 23:33 | get a cheap bike! ;) | |
| 23:35 | Waylon | yeah. im broke atm. |
| 23:35 | eythian | steal a bike! ;) |
| 23:36 | Waylon | suppose i could take a bus, but only got 55 mins now... and im hoping that chris isn't going to one of those 1pm meetings. |
| 23:37 | google earth on android :) | |
| 23:41 | ... is too slow | |
| 23:42 | eythian | maps is a lot better for that sort of thing |
| 23:43 | earth is very slow because it's pulling lots of images | |
| 23:43 | also hard on your data | |
| 23:43 | (well, depends what "that sort of thing" is really) | |
| 23:43 | Irma joined #koha | |
| 23:49 | Waylon | yah. just figured that out. got the route worked out in head... racecourse road |
| 23:56 | ah well.. im going to be late, but eh, can always go again tomorrow. | |
| 23:56 | Waylon_AFK | back soon. |
| 23:57 | eythian | Waylon_AFK: they'll be around the whole day I'd think |
