00:50 wizzyrea gmcharlt - is there any way to up the amount of time you get before the wiki kicks you out and makes you relogin?
00:50 (and is there a reason not to do that since we are approving users)
00:51 gmcharlt wizzyrea: yes; I'll look into it
00:51 rangi my login doesnt kick me out for days
00:51 wizzyrea bless you kind sir
00:51 rangi do you use openid wizzyrea ?
00:51 cos i dont
00:51 wizzyrea it must be something to do with openid then?
00:51 rangi sounds likely
00:51 gmcharlt yeah
00:51 wizzyrea hmmmm
00:52 * wizzyrea was trying to be fancy pants and use openid
00:52 wizzyrea but really it mostly annoys me.
00:52 sso seems like such a good idea
00:52 excpet when it's not
00:52 eythian openid shouldn't matter, I'd expect it to be the cookie time.
00:52 maybe it's a session cookie?
00:54 wiki.koha-community.orgsession/wikidb_s​essionc4d9d98b4c80d38dcdf5ea695972fe91
00:54 err that looks ugly
00:54 hmm
00:54 * eythian invalidates his session
01:05 wizzyrea man mine kicks me out after like 20 mintues or something
01:06 eythian weird. Well I've just switched to openid, so I'll keep an eye on it. I don't expect that to make a difference though.
01:06 * eythian wishes browserid was a thing yet.
01:08 eythian oh hey, it pretty much is a thing now
01:08 we should use that.
01:09 wizzyrea ... maybe it's a stupid setting I have in my account
01:09 i admit that I didn't look >.<
01:09 eythian http://identity.mozilla.com/po[…]elease-of-persona <-- a bit over a month ago
01:10 rangi i gotta finish my implementation for koha
01:10 its about half done
01:10 i did it at kohacon
01:10 eythian cool
01:10 rangi its actually quite similair to the PKI stuffs
01:11 matching a user with an email
01:11 eythian ah OK
01:11 rangi just that we get the info from persona, not a cert
01:27 gmcharlt wizzyrea: I've tried something that *might* increase the timeout for you to 24 hours -- please let me know if you see any change
01:31 wizzyrea oh bless you

02:22 eythian http://youtu.be/dmEvPZUdAVI <-- Microsoft MS-DOS 5 upgrade training
02:22 wizzyrea ...oh no
02:23 trea oh dear
02:24 wizzyrea that's alarming.
02:24 45k of memory!
02:24 at LEAST
02:25 trea i got 1:19 in before my ears started bleeding
02:25 eythian heh
02:25 wizzyrea oh you missed them rapping about a graphical shell
02:25 jcamins Oh my.
02:25 wizzyrea I know you wanted to know about that.
02:25 also, it comes on 5in floppies
02:26 jcamins Oh... my.
02:26 * jcamins got to the graphical shell bit.
02:28 wizzyrea 5 1/4in I guess
02:30 eythian well, they were the standard disk size around that time
02:30 trea indeed
02:31 eythian (June '91 specifically)
02:32 wizzyrea what they had... 1.4 MB on each one?
02:32 eythian depends
02:32 wizzyrea or was that 3.5 in
02:32 eythian 1.2MB for the HD, 320K for the DD, or something along those lines
02:32 *740 maybe
02:32 I think it was 320 per side
02:33 * druthb remembers those.  320 for SD, 640 for DD (flip 'em over!), and 1.2 MB for HD.
02:33 wizzyrea there you have it :)
02:33 * druthb had a C64 that could only read SDs...flip the disk to save moolah.
02:33 druthb cut an extra write-protect notch, and you're good to go.
02:33 trea ah, the good ol' days
02:37 rangi mtj: stirrer :)
02:38 jcamins lol
02:38 mtj well… i reckon its a point worth noting, for all...
02:38 rangi yup
02:41 mtj … they might not be aware of the incompatibility between CC and GPL?
02:43 there is a small possibility it was a genuine mistake :)
02:50 eythian there is something odd about link_bibs_to_authorities, it seems to be starting from bibnumber 1, even when my bib number range starts much higher than that.
02:50 but I can't see why it would do that.
02:51 mtj the SQL is selecting on a bibnumber, even?
02:51 eythian SELECT biblionumber FROM biblio $bib_where ORDER BY biblionumber ASC
02:51 yes
02:52 jcamins eythian: are you using --where='biblionumber > 5432'?
02:52 eythian no
02:52 Could not retrieve bib 139611 from the database - record is corrupt.
02:52 Could not retrieve bib 139614 from the database - record is corrupt.
02:52 ... processed 139600 records
02:52 my numbers start around that mark
02:52 so now it's going happily
02:52 jcamins Oh, I meant --bib-limit
02:53 eythian no, no options at all
02:53 jcamins Did you possibly clear out biblioitems but not biblio?
02:54 eythian ah
02:54 hmm
02:54 yes
02:54 bother
02:55 I did clear items twice, to be sure, apparently.
02:56 delete from biblio where biblionumber<139615;
02:56 Query OK, 139583 rows affected (3.11 sec)
02:56 there, problem solved
02:56 jcamins Hehe.
02:56 rangi http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ial:RecentChanges

03:09 jcamins Yay!

03:13 mtj http://www.techdirt.com/articl[…]/2322205106.shtml
03:13 That Blurry Line Between Commercial & Non-Commercial Use Still Troubling For Creative Commons
03:14 ^^ something i've always been confused about too
03:15 eythian oh yeah, there've been lots of surveys to try to pin down what that really means
03:15 rangi lawyers love that
03:15 mo money mo money
03:15 mtj stupid Q but… is Koha non-commerical use?
03:15 rangi no
03:16 jcamins No.
03:16 Most definitely not.
03:16 Koha is GPLed.
03:16 The GPL protects my right to sell Koha, provided that I give my clients the source code.
03:17 rangi it protects the rights of libraries to use koha
03:17 and lots of libraries are commercial enterprises
03:17 including public libraries
03:17 not for profit != non commercial
03:18 jcamins rangi: that's arguably grayer than my (personal) right to sell Koha.
03:18 rangi grey areas are what lawyers live for
03:18 mtj lol, so true
03:18 rangi if opus a for profit company uses koha, for commercial use
03:19 if it was under a NC license they couldnt
03:19 it doesnt just preclude your right to distribute
03:19 mtj wow, nice example
03:19 rangi it precludes your right to use
03:24 NC makes sense for a photograph ... maybe ... but not really even then
03:26 eythian if you want people to show it and not sell it, yeah
03:26 though it's still vague
03:26 I mean, do ads on your blog count as commercial?
03:27 rangi exactly
03:30 jcamins Three and a half hours to prepare a bibliography just over three pages.
03:32 * eythian just used BibTeX to do it all
03:55 user00 joined #koha
04:00 user00 rangi: bit of bad weather around auckland?
04:00 eythian 3 people dead sort of bad weather, yeah
04:01 user00 news reported a tornado, indicated tornados aren't very common in NZ
04:02 ibeardslee not common at all ... but we do seem to be seeing more of them .. a sign of global warming?
04:02 eythian we've always had them
04:02 but there have been a few more in the past couple of years
04:03 auckland typically gets a couple per year
04:03 only every few years do they cause damage
04:03 (well, notable damage)
04:05 ibeardslee ok .. maybe I've just noticed them on the news more often
04:05 user00 ic. Well tornados are common around here, including associated deaths and property damage. Hope that doesn't become the case there.
04:06 eythian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L[…]reaks#New_Zealand <-- I'm not convinced this is a statistically significant change
04:06 keeping in mind that this is just the reasonably significant ones
04:07 rambutan still, 7 or so every half century? That's pretty rare.
04:08 eythian yeah, most of ours aren't damaging.
04:08 We probably get them in Wellington but nobody notices.
04:09 mtj hmm, do cc.org recommend using other licenses for software, rather than cc.org ones?
04:09 http://creativecommons.org/software
04:10 eythian I'd expect them to point to the FSF.
04:10 rambutan http://www.libraryjournal.com/[…]n_public.html.csp   <- very destructive tornado about 340km from her
04:10 e
04:10 eythian yeah, I heard about that
04:10 mtj ahh, they do -> http://wiki.creativecommons.or[…]ense_for_software.3F
04:10 'Can I apply a Creative Commons license to software?
04:10 We do not recommend it. '
04:11 'We recommend considering licenses made available by the Free Software Foundation or listed at the Open Source Initiative. Unlike our licenses, which do not make mention of source or object code, these existing licenses were designed specifically for use with software. Furthermore, our licenses are not compatible with the GPL, the most frequently used free software license.'
04:11 wow, from the horses mouth
04:13 … you know you've chosen the wrong license, when its creator tells you not to use it, for that specific purpose
04:14 eythian yep
04:14 rangi http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories[…]t-new-zealand.htm
04:15 From NIWA who are koha users
04:15 As of a few mins ago :)
04:15 eythian well, I haven't seen them access their staff client just yet :)
04:16 mtj awesome news
04:16 eythian then again, they may be saving that for tomorrow morning.
04:17 rangi :)

09:31 magnuse you'd have to get up to 3-400 meters above sea level to find some old patches of snow here...
09:57 drojf magnuse: didn't you have 10° or 15° like a week ago or two?
10:00 is it possible at all to use solr with 3.10 from packages? on squeeze i had to build a lot of packages manually to get about.pl/perl module happy but it still isn't working. i tried building moose (not sure if i have to) but gave up somewhen. if i'd upgrade to wheezy, koha-common and other stuff from the koha repo would be deinstalled.
10:01 rangi nope you cant use the solr stuff on squeeze
10:01 unless you install moose from cpan rather than packages ... hence you cant use the packages
10:02 magnuse drojf: yeah, it's been cold for a long time, but no snow!
10:03 drojf wee need a wheezy repo then ;)
10:03 rangi when it's released :)
10:04 drojf it's debian. so in 10 years? :P
10:04 rangi nope
10:05 it only started in march 2011
10:05 drojf ah it's frozen june 2012. what does that mean for ETA? june 2013?
10:06 rangi http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/
10:06 when that green line gets to the bottom
10:06 release
10:06 drojf thanks
10:07 so no solr for the library that asked me. i hope they are not crazy enough to run it from git
10:08 i, of course, will… :) but only for fun. the indexing field interface is very promising
10:08 just that i cannot build the index atm :D
10:09 rangi you can run it from packages you just have to install all the moose related modules from CPAN
10:09 ie, you cant do it just from pacakges

12:18 kf slef: I think we are almost done with phasing out the YUI js libraries
12:18 slef kf: it'll be with us for 3.10, right?
12:18 kf the css grid
12:18 not the js I think
12:19 slef the css grid is in libjs-yui too AFAICT
12:19 kf but we would have a lot more files than we actually need
12:20 slef true, but I think 3.10 includes them all already

13:08 drojf do the spam accounts have real names?
13:09 real-sounding
13:11 kf not sure
13:11 we will find out
13:11 drojf i thought there were a lot of garbage-y things like shfsklhfsk@something.tld when i looked at the list once
13:12 kf yeah, so I think it was a real person :)
13:12 drojf which could be a regular mail address of course :)

13:29 jcamins You know what I would like? I would like the "Add to list" dropdown on the OPAC to not open a pop-up if you're selected a specific list to add the items to.
13:30 Am I the only one who feels that way?
13:30 NateC joined #koha
13:39 drojf jcamins: not a big fan of popups in general, the situation you describe sounds like it's superflous. but can't try it at the moment
13:39 kf jcamins: I agreewith you :)
13:40 jcamins All other issues aside, it keeps on running afoul of my pop-up blocker.
13:44 drojf i have all pop-ups open in a new tab. that is why i don't like them. but i dislike them even more if they pop up

13:56 HB hey Koha
13:56 jcamins Good morning, HB.
13:57 HB annyone ever had this http://users.telenet.be/webwij[…]a/ris%20error.jpg i get is if i want to download a ris file or just do a download of a list
13:57 jcamins It looks like you're missing some of Koha's dependencies.
13:57 In this case, Text::CSV::Encoded.
13:58 If you're on a Debian or Ubuntu system, you should install it using `sudo apt-get install libtext-csv-encoded-perl`
13:58 HB ubuntu
13:58 jenkins_koha Starting build #968 for job Koha_master (previous build: UNSTABLE -- last SUCCESS #966 2 days 0 hr ago)
13:58 jcamins Yeah, that command will work fine for you then.
13:58 HB ok ill try
13:58 jcamins What version of Koha, out of curiosity?
13:59 HB 3.81
13:59 gonna install 3.10 tomorrow
13:59 or monday :OP
13:59 jcamins If you're missing that package, there's a good chance that you're missing others as well.
13:59 If you look in the About page in the staff client, you can see what else you need.
14:01 Yay, no backlog in the "Passed QA" queue!
14:02 HB http://users.telenet.be/webwij[…]/koha/missing.jpg
14:02 there it is
14:02 jcamins Okay, Text::CSV::Encoded is the only one that you definitely need.
14:02 HB the red ones are bad probably :)
14:02 jcamins However, I'd encourage you to install all of them.
14:03 HB ok i gonna try that thx for the advice

14:15 magnuse jcamins++ for no backlog
14:16 slef @later tell gmcharlt the reg form says "I have read and agree to abide by the Terms of Service of Koha Wiki. The name I have specified under "Real name" is in fact my own real name."  Either we need to add "Real name" or rephrase that.
14:16 huginn slef: The operation succeeded.
14:16 slef @seen gmcharlt
14:16 huginn slef: gmcharlt was last seen in #koha 12 hours, 48 minutes, and 59 seconds ago: <gmcharlt> wizzyrea: I've tried something that *might* increase the timeout for you to 24 hours -- please let me know if you see any change
14:17 jcamins HB: you can just add "lib" at the beginning, replace '::' with '-' and add '-perl' at the end to get the package names.

14:33 HB ok i try my other problem the people from the it department gave me an ip adress for the mail server but i did put it in the nullmailer conf file but still cant mail is there something i can do or read about that
14:35 jcamins Get rid of nullmailer.
14:35 * jcamins hates nullmailer.
14:35 jcamins I recommend postfix.
14:35 postfix?
14:35 wahanui postfix is found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix (but you probably can skip the SASL stuff) or at http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html
14:35 jcamins ^^ that first one is the guide I used.
14:35 Everyone says that nullmailer is super-easy, but I've never managed to configure it.
14:36 HB if you cant how will i ever do it :)
14:36 ill try postfix
14:36 i start reading firrst
14:38 drojf what jcamins says about nullmailer. it never worked for me.
14:38 HB lol :)

14:52 gmcharlt slef: the ConfirmAccount extension has flags to enable requiring "Real Names"
14:52 I turned those off for the initial deployment, but what you're seeing is a bit of leftover
14:52 easily removed, of course, but I suppose that raises a question to consider: requiriing "real names"?

16:37 I thought it was system requirements.
16:37 wahanui: are you there?
16:37 wahanui jcamins: bugger all, i dunno
16:37 jcamins Well, wahanui isn't locked up, so I guess it doesn't have anything about system requirements.
16:38 gerundio :|
16:47 this seems to be the closest I found: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]aring_your_system
16:47 francharb` hey there!
16:47 just a little question
16:48 I just checked the documentation but just a part of answer
16:48 how many notices
16:48 are display
16:48 within the notices tab
16:48 on the borrower account?
16:48 kf bye all
16:49 kf left #koha
16:49 francharb` I guess it depends on the mysql message queue table
16:50 but are all notices display without  limit?
16:51 can a patron see the notice he got 5 years ago?
16:52 gerundio jcamins, what would you consider to be a good memory value to set for a Koha production environment?
16:54 francharb` apparently, there is no limit to the number of notices displayed
16:55 smeagol joined #koha
16:55 francharb` C4::Letters::GetQueuedMessages says you can put a limit on how many notices will be return by the fonction
16:56 but the notices.pl didnt mention any limit when using the function
16:56 great
16:56 I just answered myself
16:56 perfect!
16:56 sorry for the annoyance
16:56 ;)
16:56 smeagol Hi all...tryin' to do a dev git install and get error from installer that says, "ERROR 1166 (42000) at line 1871: Incorrect column name 'closed '" Not sure why i'm getting this mysql error, anyone?
16:57 jcamins gerundio: not less than 1GB.
16:58 melia joined #koha
16:59 gerundio I have 1GB at the moment
16:59 but I feel like it's not enough
16:59 jcamins How many records/users do you have?
16:59 gerundio no reason in particular... just a feeling :D
16:59 60k records at the moment
17:00 users might go up to 5k maybe
17:00 not really sure at this moment
17:00 jcamins 1GB is definitely not enough.
17:01 gerundio 2 or 4?
17:01 wahanui 6
17:01 jcamins lol
17:01 gerundio lolol
17:01 jcamins If you have enough, I'd go with 4.
17:01 It's probably not necessary, but...
17:02 when it's necessary, it's desperately necessary, yesterday.
17:02 gerundio I have enough
17:02 I'm backed up by a good IT team
17:03 oleonard That's nice to hear :)
17:03 gerundio hopefully they won't mind to spend 4 GB for this VM :D
17:06 thd-away joined #koha
17:09 rambutan gerundio, you're using a virtual machine? Is it the host machine that only has 1GB, or is only 1GB allocated in your VM manager>
17:10 gerundio all our servers are virtualized
17:10 ..oO(I'm not the best person to answer this to you :p)
17:10 I meant 4GB for the koha server
17:10 not the whole vm manager
17:13 rambutan ic. If you can you might try bumping the memory allocated to the VM in the manager to 2GB, but using Virtual Box on Linux I've found pretty decent productivity with just 1 GB,
17:14 although most of my base hardware is pretty decent--multi-core or multi-processor CPUs and 4-8GB of memory.
17:18 BTW, as a separate plug for VirtualBox I've found it remarkably easy and reliable to do basic virtualization with on LInux (caveat: use the official download from Oracle, not the OSE deb packages).
17:19 jcamins I've been using Vagrant on FreeBSD. It's pretty nice.
17:20 gerundio I think our virtualization is based on Xen
17:20 jcamins Yeah, that's what I'd use for production.
17:20 rambutan <obligatory acknowledgment on philosophical issues in dealing with proprietary vendors>
17:21 yea, Xen is good.
17:21 tcohen KVM is good too
17:22 rambutan yep, that too
17:22 tcohen Xen support paravirtualization, which is nice in some scenarios
17:22 rambutan at one point somebody was doing a Koha VM. Wonder if that's still available?
17:23 tcohen I prefer KVM as the hypervisor is inside the official kernel
17:23 (and maintained by them)
17:23 gerundio rambutan, I was at an event of the Koha PT community last week
17:23 rambutan PT?
17:23 gerundio they talked about a VM being made available for the users
17:23 Portuguese
17:23 rambutan ah
17:23 gerundio http://www.koha.pt/
17:24 jcamins rambutan: yeah, Kyle has been releasing one every release.
17:24 gerundio I think they've stored it deep in the forum somewhere
17:24 with mandatory user registration to be able to download
17:24 :p
17:25 jcamins No, it's just on sourceforge.
17:25 There isn't a 3.10 appliance yet, though.
17:27 rambutan I think there's a potentially good market for vendors to sell a prebuilt appliance. Wouldn't be hard to put a decent machine together.
17:27 appliance = hardware and preloaded OS + Koha
17:30 gerundio how about the disk size for this kind of setup?
17:31 jcamins Sorry folks, the fifty e-mail messages are all my fault.
17:34 gerundio btw, what's your take on VMWare vs Virtualbox?
17:39 drojf joined #koha
17:39 rambutan disks are cheap--solid state drives of 250GB are relatively inexpensive and would be sufficient for smaller databases, but you could plus it up as needed.
17:40 * jcamins heads into the city.
17:41 rambutan VMware is what you really have to have if you want to play in the big leagues--if you need to move massive running VM's from servers in Canada to servers in Singapore with just a drag and drop, you have to have VMware.
17:42 I've used their free VMware server in the past, and it worked well but eventually we just found VBox to be a good workable solution for our needs. But when we grow up, and have to manage 700 VMs around the world, we'll be using VMware.
17:43 I understand they give out pretty cool freebies, like coffee cups, if you buy into their systems.
17:44 Coffee cups are important.
17:44 gerundio rambutan, thanks for your input... my question was more regading for an at home small personal environment
17:45 rambutan VBox
17:45 drojf did i come into the right channel? what is all the nonfree software joy about?
17:45 rambutan IMHO, of course. Ack the above positive comments about Xen and KVM, of course
17:46 gerundio drojf, aren't off topics welcomed?
17:46 rambutan I've acknowledged those issues above.
17:47 gerundio: depends on the active chatters at the time.  :)
17:47 and the VM discussion is related to Koha....
17:48 drojf gerundio: without off topic talk there would be a lot of silence around here :P
17:48 i was just confused entering into a praise for proprietary software
17:49 gerundio thankfully Koha's IRC users are very active
17:49 rambutan ah, not praise exactly, more like discussion of functional features
17:50 and there is an Deb-approved version of OSE VirtualBox, if you can get it to work
17:50 OSE=open source edition
17:51 drojf i don't think they have this classification anymore, the free one has just less functionality now and you need nonfree extras for some things
17:54 rambutan you may be right, I don't see the OSE now.
17:54 drojf Since version 4.0   The PUEL/OSE separation was given up in favor of an open source base  product and a closed source extension pack that can be installed on top  of the base product. As part of this change, additional components of  VirtualBox were made open source (installers, documentation, device  drivers)
17:54 rambutan However, you can build the GPLv2 from sources...  https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
17:55 quote: "The VirtualBox sources are available free of charge under the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License, Version 2."
17:55 drojf yup and it has what you need to run koha in that version
17:56 rambutan yep

18:32 rangi Looks like some zealous person removed the back ticks on a mysql file
18:32 I done warned them :)
18:33 Can you look in kohastructure.sql please
18:34 And see if you can find the column closed
18:34 And put backticks around the word closed that might fix it
18:35 I'm on my phone or is try
18:35 Is=I'd
18:38 oleonard Could a space cause that problem? I see  "`closed `"

18:55 oleonard: where did you see the space  .. in master?
18:56 oleonard Yes. I was looking at gitweb, it's in the patch for Bug 8782
18:56 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8782 new feature, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Pushed to Master , Add a feature to close a subscription
18:56 rangi right
18:56 yeah its fine in 3.10.x and 3.8.x
18:57 smeagol: are you trying to install master ? from git?
18:57 * rangi was worried we had released something like that ... phew
19:01 rangi either way, id file a bug
19:02 smeagol i did git clone git://git.koha-community.org/koha.git kohaclone
19:03 rangi right, so you are running master .. (the pre release code) this is in dev right eh, just for developing/testing ?
19:10 rambutan joined #koha
19:11 smeagol Actually, no I wanted to install stable (i guess) so i can create a branch and contribute code
19:12 I guess I have to state what version I want to track/install?
19:12 rangi you should contribute code based on master
19:12 smeagol Not too familiar with git yet
19:12 rangi if you want to use koha, you should run from the releases
19:12 if you want to develop, then master is fine
19:12 smeagol This is just for development purposes
19:12 rangi your first patch could be removing that space :)
19:13 smeagol I haven't submitted a patch yet
19:13 jcamins_away Right, so if you want to submit code, you must track master.
19:14 smeagol Right. But this happened when i tried to run the installer:8080
19:14 jcamins_away Yeah, so the first thing you do is remove the space.
19:14 Then you go through the installer.
19:14 And if it worked, you submit a patch removign the space.
19:15 smeagol Well, I'm just trying to INSTALL koha, at this point on my server. I don't know how it's "removing" a space..
19:15 tcohen RM jcamins_away sir, what will u do about 8519?
19:16 jcamins_away bug 8519
19:16 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8519 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, tomascohen, Passed QA , Make koha-index-daemon run on startup
19:16 oleonard tcohen: Get to it when he can, I'm guessing?
19:16 jcamins_away tcohen: I was going to push it.
19:17 :)
19:17 tcohen :-D
19:17 jcamins_away I am comfortable with including it, even if it's not going to be generally used yet.
19:17 smeagol: in order to install Koha you need to remove the extra space from the kohastructure.sql file, right?
19:17 (answer: yes)
19:17 tcohen its the only way to get it polished i guess
19:17 jcamins_away So the first thing you have to do is remove that space.
19:17 Then you can install Koha.
19:21 Checking out an older version and then upgrading would be extra work, and removing that space is a patch that will make it into Koha very quickly, so you can have a commit to your name next week. :)
19:21 smeagol ok..i'll look into that. Haven't really seen that in install notes. thanks
19:21 jcamins_away It's not in the install notes.
19:21 It's a bug.
19:21 Which you just discovered.
19:21 Actually, let's start over.
19:21 first question?
19:21 wahanui "What are you trying to do?" or "What is the goal?"
19:23 jcamins_away (the instructions will change drastically if I have misunderstood and your goal is not to write code to contribute to Koha)
19:24 smeagol Install koha git dev on my server here, create a branch, hack away, and submit code to the community, hopefully..if all goes well!
19:24 jcamins_away Okay, good. I understood correctly.
19:24 So the reason you can't install Koha is because you have discovered a new bug.
19:25 Your best course of action is to fix this new bug, install Koha, and submit the patch for it.
19:25 smeagol Yes, apparently
19:25 jcamins_away Earlier oleonard indicated there is an extra space after "closed" but before a backtick in installer/data/mysql/kohastructure.sql.
19:26 smeagol ok..i think i got you now. I'll get back to you.
19:26 jcamins_away The first step no matter what, of course, is to report a bug on bugs.koha-community.org. :)
19:27 smeagol ok. will do.
19:27 I thought that it was something I was doing wrong during the install..
19:28 jcamins_away Nope. Just a bug.
19:29 smeagol ok..i'll call Zed..we have to protect the galaxy...

20:04 jatara thanks for not breaking out the RAID on me :)
20:04 tcohen guys, i've sent a patch to DSpace, i can now say I LOVE the way the Koha team works
20:04 jcamins_away jatara: I expect the problem is going to be in the reports/ scripts.
20:05 jatara off-topic by the way, why do the commercials say "kills bug dead"? isnt' that rather redundant?
20:05 @jcamins_away i'm thinking that as well
20:05 huginn jatara: I'll give you the answer just as soon as RDA is ready
20:05 jcamins_away My guess is reports/guided_reports.pl has some bug in it.
20:06 pastebot "oleonard" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Example from guided_reports.pl" (9 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/301
20:06 oleonard jatara: That link is for you
20:07 I don't know that that is where the problem is, but it's an example of permissions being defined
20:07 drojf tcohen: that bad?
20:07 the way it works at DSpace i mean
20:07 jatara Thanks so much! Just need to find out where $flagsrequired is being set
20:07 because that's where it's going awry
20:08 oleonard It's being set right there.
20:09 rangi drojf: it was just a piece of html, wasnt a patch just wanted ppl to see it
20:09 tcohen: what happened with dspace, they threw the patch on the floor?

20:51 oleonard "is it possible" meaning "Can someone please do this soon and free?"
20:52 drojf i have no idea wtah the question is
20:52 the opac works with a tablet by default?
20:52 jcamins_away oleonard: the "consultation" bit is what makes me think that the e-mail started out as perfectly fluent something-not-English.
20:53 wizzyrea all of koha works with tablets as far as I know
20:54 drojf i'm pretty sure it does with mine :)
20:54 wizzyrea mine too
20:54 jcamins_away And the CCSR theme for the OPAC scales down well for much smaller devices.
20:54 drojf cait: to the test! ;)
20:54 jcamins_away drojf: in 7:30. :P
20:54 drojf oh, charging. sorry
20:54 wizzyrea drojf what kind of tab do you have?
20:54 drojf wizzyrea: hp touchpad
20:54 cait drojf: I have to wait 8 hours... remember
20:54 wizzyrea oh, heh
20:54 drojf cait: yes i remembered :(
20:54 wizzyrea but you run android on it?
20:55 or webos
20:55 drojf wizzyrea: no, webOS and a ubuntu chroot
20:55 wizzyrea I am glad that works for you
20:55 * wizzyrea would probably not go that route.
20:55 wizzyrea my best friend has a touchpad - she put android on hers
20:56 it's tolerable with android on it ^.^
20:56 * wizzyrea is not a fan of webos.
20:56 drojf i'm not a big fan of android (not that i have much experience). webOS is obviously not complete but i can live with it
20:56 i only got it because it was 99€. i would not have bought it for >400€
20:57 wizzyrea oh definitely
20:57 I would not buy one of them for anything over 99
20:57 if you haven't used android in the last 18 months - it is not the same OS as what you would have seen 2 years ago
20:58 drojf it's ridiculous that HP sold them for full price in that state
20:58 wizzyrea no kidding.
20:59 drojf i was thinking of trying dual boot at some point, but since i only got 16gb and the chroot needs an extra partition that is not really an option. or i stuff the thing with operating systems and not use anything ;)
21:00 wizzyrea or nuke webos :P
21:00 ^.^
21:00 j/k, your way is perfect for you
21:00 drojf then i lose my ubuntu too
21:00 wizzyrea as long as you are happy
21:01 drojf one day i will have openwebOS. if they ever backport it ^^
21:02 jcamins_away drojf: did you install Koha on it yet?
21:02 drojf jcamins_away: not really. but i know i should ;)

22:09 remi hi
22:10 cait hi remi
22:11 remi i'm thinking of installing koha on a server that's running my website
22:12 can i do it?
22:13 bit confused
22:13 drojf that is a pretty vague question
22:13 wizzyrea remi: that should be possible
22:14 drojf is that a root server? what os is it running…
22:14 remi debian
22:14 wizzyrea if you mean "I have a linux server that runs my website and I want koha to be an additional host on this machine"
22:14 (which is what I read)
22:15 remi yes
22:15 drojf if you have root access that sounds alright
