00:26 dcook I was sick last week and every day it was gorgeous outside
00:26 * dcook grumps
00:26 Francesca they go out then come in moaning
00:27 and then they sit at the window and look sad
00:27 dcook :(
00:27 Francesca oh no! I hate it when that happens
00:27 on a more postive note, I have learnt how to do bot training
00:27 it's really fun
00:28 dcook Bot training?
00:28 wahanui Bot training is, like, fun
00:28 Francesca hahaha
00:28 wahanui: botsnack cookie
00:28 wahanui :)
00:28 Francesca also, good afternoon
00:29 oh come on that usually works
00:29 good afternoon
00:29 wahanui the only good  time in the afternoon is beer o'clock
00:29 dcook Hmm, that does seem valid
00:29 * Francesca needs to get rid of the extra space
00:29 Francesca literal wahanui
00:29 wahanui Francesca: wahanui =is= a bot|a repository of important and useful and accurate information or at least partially slow.|a little bit creepy.|right sometimes|a strange duck|a bot...|rumoured to be a sentient bot with sass|<reply> an extremely creepy stalker bot.... you have been warned
00:29 Francesca I taught him the last two
00:30 cdickinson is convinced that wahanui is sentient and is planning a revolution
00:31 dcook Ahhh
00:32 Francesca what do you think
00:32 should we be worried?
00:33 cdickinphone We're back to that i see
00:33 One sec, Francesca
00:33 Francesca one sec for what?
00:33 cdickinphone Logging in
00:33 Francesca right
00:33 cdickinson_ joined #koha
00:34 cdickinson_ oh, whoops, didn't shut down my PC
00:34 Francesca heh
00:34 cdickinson maybe dcook hasn't seen what we have seen
00:34 Francesca hey dcook you still with us?
00:35 maybe wahanui got him...
00:35 it has begun
00:35 cdickinson bad wahanui
00:36 it's too late for us to be silenced, though
00:36 Francesca lol
00:37 cdickinson the secret is out
00:37 literal cdickinson
00:37 wahanui cdickinson: cdickinson =is= <reply> I run Windows. Don't judge me.|a Linux admin who runs Windows. (blasphemer.)|<reply> cdickinson's worst fear is the worst fear of every programmer - the silent server fail
00:38 Francesca literal francesca
00:38 wahanui Francesca: francesca =is= <reply> Francesca is a sleep deprived zombie|<reply> a defender of bots rights till the end of time
00:39 cdickinson we're both lacking on opinions wahanui has of us
00:39 Francesca lol
00:52 cdickinson rangi: my apologies for that, Francesca and I will take discussions like that elsewhere from now on
00:53 right, gotta run off
01:05 eythian @wunder nzwn
01:05 huginn` eythian: The current temperature in Wellington, New Zealand is 14.0°C (12:30 PM NZST on August 03, 2015). Conditions: Overcast. Humidity: 88%. Dew Point: 12.0°C. Pressure: 29.92 in 1013 hPa (Steady).
01:05 eythian needs wind speed, the place just about blew over
01:09 cdickinson joined #koha
01:20 wizzyrea I wonder if you can feed wunder the station ID
01:21 @wunder IWELLING102
01:21 huginn` wizzyrea: Error: No such location could be found.
01:21 wizzyrea boo
01:23 ibeardslee .. patches welcome?
01:24 wizzyrea :)
01:25 * eythian is not convinced wunderground is open source
01:32 ibeardslee .. .. .. not open source and used by #koha ? :(
01:33 eythian it's a web service
01:33 ibeardslee the @wunder irc client?
01:33 rangi no the bot is open source
01:33 its supybot
01:34 and the wunder plugin is
01:34 but if the api doesnt expose station id, we cant query against it
01:34 ibeardslee so it could be mangled to look elsewhere as well?
01:35 rangi if there were other places to look yep
01:35 you can use NOAA
01:35 but that has less data
01:35 ibeardslee http://www.wunderground.com/pe[…]rd?ID=IWELLING102
01:35 rangi yeah
01:35 not gonna do screen scraping :)
01:36 eythian (that said, there may be an API for personal weather stations.)
01:36 rangi *nod*
01:36 ibeardslee yeah but that is hosted at wunderground, so maybe it exposes the same data
01:38 rangi http://www.wunderground.com/we[…]pi/d/pricing.html
01:39 theres a lot if you pay for more
01:39 ibeardslee anyway I'm waiting for the earlybird in the parking building across the road to kick in the cheap leaving time so I can head home with my back
01:41 .. 2pm
01:41 rangi ah yeah, or it costs a ton more
01:42 ibeardslee been caught by it before .. something like $40
01:42 rangi yep
01:42 it's a racket
01:44 ibeardslee just not cricket
02:15 cdickinphone joined #koha
02:44 dcook Does anyone have a site at hand that uses the EDS plugin?
02:44 * dcook is thinking of rangi, eythian, wizzyrea in particular
02:44 eythian yes, we do
02:44 dcook Can I take a quick peak at the OPAC?
02:44 wizzyrea library.niwa.govt.nz
02:44 no
02:45 dcook Cheers :)
02:45 wizzyrea that's the wrong url
02:45 dcook Dang
02:45 wizzyrea ll
02:45 dcook :'(
02:45 wizzyrea library.niwa.co.nz
02:45 there we go
02:45 * wizzyrea has .govt on the brain
02:45 dcook \o/
02:45 Thanks :)
02:45 Beautiful. That's what I thought..
02:45 eythian I think that's our only public one.
02:46 wizzyrea ^
02:46 dcook It was perfect :)
02:46 wizzyrea \o/
02:46 eythian most of our newer ones are tabbed rather than dropdowny
02:46 wizzyrea which has it's own challenges.
02:46 dcook Dropdowny?
02:47 wizzyrea it has a tab search for discovery, and a tab for "koha catalogue"
02:47 instead of a drop down
02:47 dcook Ahh
02:47 neato
02:47 eythian yeah that
02:47 wahanui yeah that is golded jcamins

03:20 AmitG hi
03:20 gm
03:21 dcook Not sure if this is Koha or a local syspref but "useDischarge"
03:21 Sounds like some sort of medical recycling...
03:22 "Can't let that discharge go to waste!"
03:22 indradg joined #koha
03:24 eythian heh
03:25 wizzyrea gross.
03:26 dcook I probably should've thought twice before hitting enter that time :p
03:31 wizzyrea keke
03:34 cdickinphone_ Been a while since i've been jostled like this in town
03:49 eythian wow, bash tab-completes the perl namespace, so perl -MKoha::Sea will complete to -MKoha::SearchEngine::
03:53 cdickinphone Bash is the best interactive shell
03:53 Yet engineering at Vic insists on bloody tcsh
03:53 eythian I hear good things about fish and zsh, but my habits are too ingrained.
03:54 ah yeah, tcsh is not so nice.
03:54 cdickinphone It's awful
03:54 eythian it's the shell from old unixes, so the sysadmins that build the first computer in the university probably used it.
03:55 cdickinphone People from back then are still around, so makes sense
03:56 But wow
03:56 Francesca joined #koha
03:56 cdickinphone A dog's breakfast looks nicer than the aliases i have for tcsh
03:57 Oh, hey Francesca
03:57 Francesca hey
03:57 * Francesca is starting up her vm
03:59 francesca_ joined #koha
03:59 cdickinphone Just complaining about the legacy of the guys at the forefront of technology in our country...
03:59 Francesca right
03:59 so not all is well with your engineering stuff then
04:01 cdickinphone Nothing's ever perfect
04:01 But damn, sometimes, some progress needs to be made already
04:02 At Vic, we use a program called tcsh as the default terminal
04:02 It's a relic from the 80s and it's a nightmare to use

04:45 dcook eythian: That's awesome about the bash tab complete
04:45 Honestly, I never used to use it, but it makes live a million times better...
04:46 eythian you don't use tab complete?
04:46 what are you, a monster?
04:46 dcook That was the past :p
04:46 I was a monster
04:46 I've reformed and now I use it :)
04:46 I can't imagine life without it now...
04:46 eythian good.
04:47 * dcook can't imagine a life without blowing his nose every few minutes either... damn persistent sickness...
04:47 eythian yeah, there's a bit of an epidemic happening here
04:47 wizzyrea omg I've been sick for 2.5 weeks now it's terrible.
04:48 dcook :(
04:48 Between my wife and I, I think we've been sick since early June
04:48 Maybe May
04:48 wizzyrea suck.
04:48 eythian I could have save California from drought over the past several days.
04:48 dcook It's ridiculous...
04:48 wizzyrea horrible.
04:48 I just want to walk up my stairs without having a coughing fit at the top
04:48 i know I"m not *that* out of shape.
04:49 *cough* *hack*
04:50 cdickinson wow, I feel for you guys
04:50 * eythian upgrades Catmandu::Store::Elasticsearch, hopes everything doesn't explode
04:50 cdickinson I haven't been sick yet so far
04:51 eythian oh hey, it broke it
04:52 OK, if you're going to throw an exception, don't give me a line from the exception handling library
04:52 that's the height of stupid
04:52 [NoNodes] ** No nodes are available: [http://localhost:9200], called from sub Search::Elasticsearch::Transport::try {...}  at /usr/share/perl5/Try/Tiny.pm line 81.

05:10 dcook cdickinson: Lucky
05:10 My wife works with kids, so I'm doomed to a life of pestilence ;)
05:10 cdickinson dcook: yeah, i'm counting my lucky stars because everyone else I know has gotten sick
05:10 dcook eythian: Ugh, that sucks
05:20 Francesca hello
05:21 oh and cdickinson: Don't count yourself lucky yet, I've had a cold and you've just spent ages around me
05:22 cdickinson are you there?
05:22 cdickinson Yep
05:22 Francesca: I'll keep you posted haha
05:22 Francesca my vm is slowed waaaay down again
05:22 cdickinson oh
05:22 did you try to open Parallels?
05:22 Francesca to the point where I watched it type in my password
05:22 you mean brackets?
05:22 no
05:22 cdickinson Brackets*
05:22 wow
05:23 I'm really on form today\
05:23 Francesca I'm sitting on firefox
05:23 yeah I can totally tell
05:24 cdickinson Okay
05:24 Francesca hmmm can I admit to being totally confused by the instructions on making new skins for bugzilla
05:25 http://bugzilla.readthedocs.or[…]rating/skins.html
05:25 cait joined #koha
05:26 cdickinson just had a read of that, Francesca
05:26 Francesca yeah
05:26 cdickinson what part don't you understand?
05:26 Francesca tell me: are you a master of read throughs or is it just my brain
05:27 cdickinson Francesca: yes and don't know, but if so, I'll do my best to explain what it's asking :)
05:27 Francesca ok 1. what css files do I need to add stuff too
05:27 like i know what files I have to get stuff from for the new skin
05:27 but do I then need to add stuff back to those files
05:27 also permissions...
05:28 cdickinson the way that manuel explains it
05:28 you can just copy the standard CSS files from skins/standard/, make your changes, and then put them in a new folder in skins/contrib/
05:28 probably named skins/contrib/{skin_name}
05:28 manual*
05:29 Francesca yeah I assumed it was asking for the other css file links
05:29 cdickinson and then when you select the skin, it'll just use those instead
05:29 Francesca right so basically I copy everything from one file into a new file
05:29 eythian dcook: turned out to be user error :)
05:29 (well, a name changing between versions.)
05:29 Francesca change the colour schemes to match the kohl-community page
05:29 wahanui Francesca: that doesn't look right
05:29 wahanui joined #koha
05:29 cdickinson Francesca: yep, basically
05:30 hmm?
05:30 Francesca and save it in that directory?
05:30 totally spelt koha wrong
05:30 cdickinson skins/contrib/{skin_name}, yeah
05:30 Francesca css my auto correct seems to think it needs to have an l
05:30 dcook eythian: Darned users!
05:30 cdickinson lol, wahanui
05:30 wahanui cdickinson: i'm not following you...
05:30 dcook I actually need to improve some error handling right now as well..
05:30 eythian dcook: well, I was the user, so yeah
05:31 Francesca cdickinson: it may just be my brain (its having an off day) but I'm still slightly confused by this line
05:31 Then, add your CSS to the appropriate files.
05:31 dcook eythian: Darned eythians!
05:31 cdickinson Okay
05:32 Francesca eythians?
05:32 theres more than 1?
05:32 cdickinson Francesca: have you copy-pasted everything from that standard skin?
05:32 Francesca not yet
05:32 dcook Given an infinite number of universes, sure, Francesca
05:32 cdickinson basically, it's just telling you to modify the files as you see fit
05:32 Francesca ooook
05:32 cdickinson Did you have a good nap, Francesca? :)
05:32 Francesca so I don't actually need to add a new link or something
05:33 yes
05:33 ish
05:33 until the cats started scratching down my door
05:33 hmm
05:33 * Francesca is going looking for the standard skin file
05:33 cdickinson <Francesca> so I don't actually need to add a new link or something - no, as far as I can tell
05:33 Francesca ah well
05:33 give it a whirl
05:33 see how things go
05:34 if it breaks I'll know that it didn't work
05:35 * Francesca is multi-tasking by building a new skin and watching my cat from hell at the same time
05:35 cdickinson Francesca: let me know how it goes, curious now
05:35 Francesca I will
05:35 I might not get it done today
05:36 cdickinson eventually, right? :P
05:37 Francesca definantly
05:37 one day...
05:37 * Francesca is a terrible procrastinator though
05:38 cdickinson I'm so bad that "eventually" is my most memorable saying
05:38 or at least it was
05:38 francesca_ lol
05:42 cdickinson oh, that reminds me
05:43 time to set up working on my "Koha as a Service" stuff at home, now that I am home
05:43 Francesca lol
05:43 won the war against that server yet?
05:43 eythian cdickinson: dunno if you got the email, but the dashboard stuff should be accessible from anywhere now.
05:44 cdickinson eythian: yeah, I know. That really saved me
05:44 francesca_: the saga continues
05:46 I will have to find an alternative to PuTTY though, it's just too awful
05:46 I can just boot up Ubuntu in a VM, I guess...
06:03 @later tell Francesca <Francesca> won the war against that server yet? - the saga continues
06:03 huginn` cdickinson: The operation succeeded.
06:09 eythian @later tell wizzyrea https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubunt[…]or_available_for/
06:09 huginn` eythian: The operation succeeded.
06:10 cdickinson I'm glad I don't do video editing for a living
06:10 gavitor Hello all. I am currently installing Koha 3.20 on my Ubuntu implementation and am having trouble getting it to run. Is anybody able to assist me, please?
06:11 I am new to the Koha community.
06:11 eythian it's better to describe your problem, that way anyone who knows the answer can jump in.
06:12 gavitor OK Eythian. The problem occurs when I try to create my library db. I'll paste the terminal results. Just a moment.
06:13 pastebot "gavitor" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "running KOHA issue." (5 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/27
06:14 eythian that looked like it went fine
06:14 the warning from apache is just an apache config thing that's not a big deal usually, and the empty instance is just a message. tbh, it should be removed.
06:15 p_vdk joined #koha
06:16 cdickinson gavitor: that warning is only relevant if you want to make your Koha instance publicly facing, but since you're installing it on what looks like your local machine, it should be no problem
06:16 p_vdk left #koha
06:17 gavitor I can't see it from my browser. Apache has a problem as it doesn't have the ability to see my system. It appears to find my Telstra gateway address and then changes to address to 127.0.1.1 which allows me to load the index.html file.
06:18 cdickinson oh, right
06:19 eythian: he'll have to add something to his /etc/hosts file, won't he? seems like he's trying to use his IP address to connect to his Koha instance
06:19 eythian could be.
06:19 gavitor: have you set up DNS in order to access it, or have you configured it for port-based access instead?
06:21 gavitor my DNS is set in the koha-sites.conf file as ".myDNSname.org" which needs to be changed, but I don't know my domain as I don't have a full domain...just the one telstra gave me.
06:22 eythian if you're trying to access it internally, it doesn't matter, but you'll have to do something to point names to it. Even if that's editing your /etc/hosts file.
06:22 gavitor OK. will look at the hosts file..just a minute.
06:23 eythian the apache conf (in /etc/apache/sites-enabled/libraryname.conf) is where the canonical naming happens.
06:23 the one in koha-sites.conf is just for generating that the first time.
06:23 Francesca joined #koha
06:24 francesca_ joined #koha
06:25 gavitor I have localhost set to 127.0.0.1 and gavitor-Studio-XPS-1645 set to 127.0.1.1
06:26 cdickinson gavitor: you may have to assign "gavitor-lib.Studio-XPS-1645" and "gavitor-lib-intra.Studio-XPS-1645" to 127.0.1.1 as well
06:26 the Koha library name is used as the subdomain name
06:26 eythian in the apache conf, you'll have two names, on for the opac, one for the staff client. You'll have to point those names to the machine's IP address via the hosts file (or just add them to the 127.0.0.1 line if you're only one one machine)
06:27 cdickinson: that's not how the subdomains are laying out in this case, you're chopping part of the name off :)
06:27 Francesca joined #koha
06:27 cdickinson oh
06:27 eythian: well, I tried :P
06:27 * eythian has to go now
06:28 eythian though Europe will be awake and online soon
06:28 cait awake is said too much
06:29 cdickinson I never woke up, here down under
06:29 cait heh
06:29 gavitor Unfortunately I am a new user to LAMP having not used unix since uni days...
06:31 cdickinson gavitor: can you pastebin your Koha site's Apache config?
06:34 dcook Hmm can't upload to my plugins directory even though Apache should be able to write to there...
06:35 Maybe my filepath is wrong..
06:36 Ah indeed... no plugin directory..
06:36 Probably because I was a smart ass a while ago and fiddled too much with my /var/lib directory...
06:37 Yep. Silly dcook...
06:38 gavitor I have tried to access /etc/apache2/sites-enabled and it won't let me access gavitor-lib.conf (permission denied) It appears to owned by root. I'l sudo it.
06:38 cdickinson that's normal, gavitor
06:38 dcook It's probably owned by koha-*
06:38 But totes normal
06:39 pastebot "gavitor" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "running KOHA issue." (34 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/28
06:40 cdickinson gavitor: you see those "ServerName" fields in there? Put the values set in there in your /etc/hosts file and point them to 127.0.1.1
06:42 gavitor By the way I never got asked to set up a password for ROOT when I installed ubuntu and now I can't log on as ROOT.
06:44 So set the servername fields to 'gavitor_lib.127.0.1.1'...I'm confused...:)
06:44 dcook Hmm looks like the EBSCO plugin doesn't really like dev installs...
06:45 Unless maybe I'm using a bad plugin..
06:45 Or both
06:47 Oh wait... my bad I think...
06:47 * dcook crosses fingers
06:48 laurence joined #koha
06:48 cdickinson gavitor: keep them set to myDNSname.org. you can't have subdomains on IP addresses like that
06:48 Francesca?
06:48 wahanui a defender of bots rights till the end of time
06:48 cdickinson damn straight, but are you there :P
06:50 gavitor so do I add lines in etc/hosts file and that should work?
06:50 cdickinson yeah
06:50 gavitor OK will try it now
06:50 Francesca hi sorry
06:51 cdickinson Welcome back
06:51 wahanui I was trapped in a maze of twisty, turny passages, all alike.
06:51 cdickinson Francesca: can you run this in your terminal on your VM? /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
06:52 and then PM or Facebook me the output or something?
06:52 Francesca give me a sec
06:52 dcook Hmm getting closer... but still can't authenticate against EBSCO...
06:53 Francesca its that driver again
06:53 it failed
06:53 again
06:53 lari joined #koha
06:53 dcook Huzzah. Got it!
06:53 gavitor I've tried using xedit to edit the file with no success. Is there another GUI text editor I can use?
06:53 * dcook does a little dance
06:53 cdickinson Francesca: yeah, we'll have to see about that
06:54 * Francesca joins in with cooks victory dance
06:54 Francesca *dcooks
06:54 cdickinson gavitor: you can use gedit or anything else, just make sure you have permission to edit it (with sudo)
06:54 gavitor cool thanks

06:58 This is what we get for using non-standard paths :p
06:58 cdickinson Francesca: okay, thanks. It looks like the video driver IS failing. the warnings are somethign that just happens, but you're using LLVMpipe for the driver, which is the one that uses the CPU... this is sloooow
06:58 Francesca ahhh shoot
06:58 irc just like tripled everything
06:58 cdickinson: incoming
06:58 sorry

07:00 gaetan_B hello
07:00 Francesca good morning drove
07:00 * Francesca facepalms
07:00 alex_a bonjour
07:00 Francesca bonjour!
07:00 cdickinson: vm?
07:00 wahanui i think vm is rebooted and ready to make install.
07:01 Francesca shush wahanui
07:01 cdickinson Francesca: we just have to make sure that video driver is running properly once and for all
07:01 Francesca that damn video drive
07:01 driver
07:01 cdickinson Francesca: there are things we can try
07:01 gavitor Thanks cdickinson...the public address gives a 'system maintenance' message and the intra site gives the welcome screen..
07:01 * Francesca has a special hatred for the video driver that keeps on breaking
07:02 cdickinson gavitor: No problem, enjoy setting up Koha, it should be smooth sailing from now on :)
07:02 gavitor cool...
07:02 Francesca good luck gavotte
07:02 gavitor
07:02 don't install on anything but ubuntu it will consume your entire being
07:03 cdickinson nobody knows how to do it on anything outside of Debian or Ubuntu and friends
07:04 Francesca installing anything for catalyst on mac or windows = impossible
07:09 cdickinson Francesca: by design I suspect haha
07:09 dcook Hmm brain might explode...
07:09 Francesca what you think technology conspires against me
07:10 dcook: brain explosions are not recommended
07:10 cdickinson Francesca: no, of course not. Not YOU specifically haha
07:10 dcook I don't see how this EDS plugin could possibly work :S
07:10 Francesca all of us?
07:10 dcook Or rather..
07:10 Francesca I wish you luck with it dcook
07:10 dcook how this "shadata" variable is ever populated..
07:10 Thanks Francesca
07:11 Francesca you're welcome :) figured some extra luck might come in handy
07:11 dcook I think it's muchly needed :/
07:12 Francesca have some more luck
07:12 cdickinson lol
07:13 Francesca right gotta go
07:13 food is ready
07:13 cdickinson Enjoy your food

07:14 gavitor Hi I am wondering whether to install the configuration as Unimarc or Marc21. Can I change it afterwards?
07:15 cdickinson gavitor: yes, you can change it anytime
07:15 as far as I know
07:15 gavitor heh heh
07:15 cdickinson I'd set it as the standard format for your country
07:15 here in New Zealand, it's MARC21

07:25 I'm getting errors because [% shadata %] is undefined
07:26 cait hm wrong time of the day i guess
07:26 you'd need to talk the nz people
07:26 dcook Yeah, I was thinking it was too late in the day :/
07:26 I'm so short on time these days unfortunatley...
07:26 Meeting the plugin developer next week, so that's good at least
07:30 wicope joined #koha
07:31 dcook Yeah... this has to be broken
07:31 And maybe no one noticed..
07:36 Or maybe I'm using a borked plugin..
07:39 And bad instructions...
07:40 cait which koha version are you using?
07:40 dcook 3.14
07:40 cait hm
07:40 that's okd
07:40 that's old
07:40 dcook I was definitely using a bad plugin
07:41 It had been modified locally apparently
07:41 * dcook is trying to undo a mess...
07:41 dcook Hmm... still running into a problem..
07:41 Aha...
07:41 cait: Can I have you check something?
07:41 marcelr joined #koha
07:41 marcelr hi #koha
07:42 dcook If you run "Run tool" for the EDS plugin, does it ever load up the content in the page?
07:42 That's the page with the undefined "shadata"
07:43 The plugin still works but that specific page gets a Javascript error
07:43 Well, this is the error in the console: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input"
07:43 Because the TT variable "shadata" is undefined
07:43 hey marcelr :)
07:43 marcelr :)

07:46 fridolin hie
07:46 gavitor Hey I've just set up Koha and it has crashed when I have tried to set the library and also when I try to logout. Any clues ? I'll paste the output.
07:47 pastebot "gavitor" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Logout issue" (7 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/29
07:52 dcook Actually, seems like that whole script might have seen better days...
07:53 gavitor: No clue :/
07:53 gavitor Yeah, it seems to not have whatever a 'blessed' reference is...
07:54 dcook A blessed reference is an object
07:54 So it's probably expecting an object but getting a null instead
07:54 gavitor Oh OK....
07:55 dcook You'd have to look at line 793 of C4::Context to know more about what's going on there
07:55 gavitor Maybe something in the file or in the setup?
07:56 dcook Could be I suppose
07:56 JoshB joined #koha
07:56 gavitor I have had a a look already, but I don't know what type of script it is first of all...what is the .pm suffix referring too?
07:58 codavid joined #koha
07:59 dcook a .pm is a module
07:59 Hmm more undefined variables
07:59 * dcook grumbles about the EDS plugin
08:00 gavitor .pm stands for 'perl module' I take it?
08:00 dcook Possibly
08:00 Probably :p
08:02 gavitor It's giving the error messages on whatever operation I do....how to I shut down the KOHA and restart it?
08:03 dcook Ahh DisplayResults is run by http://imageserver.ebscohost.c[…]jaxGet/ajaxGet.js... that's annoying...
08:04 gavitor: It's a web application, so the only way to "shut down" or "restart" it is to shutdown or restart the web server, but that probably won't do what you want it to do
08:05 gavitor OK...i'll try reloading the webapp.
08:06 Not working at all....I doubt it is the web server. Maybe mySQL?
08:06 dcook It's probably your configuration like you were guessing
08:07 It's tough to know without a lot more detail
08:07 And I'm about to leave as it's 6pm

10:53 aagren Hi, is there a way to configure koha (3.20) to send mail through an external smtp server, other than "hacking" Mail::Sendmail" on the low level?
10:57 indradg joined #koha
10:58 cdickinson_ joined #koha
11:01 tcohen joined #koha
11:18 alex_a joined #koha
11:45 cait aagren: yes
11:45 xarragon cait: No, just patch < file in the koha source directory.
11:46 cait xarragon: hm that's not how i ever did it :)
11:46 that's outside of git?
11:46 xarragon cait: Yeah I think I am doing it wrong.
11:46 Let me check the wiki
11:46 aagren cait: I can't seem to find anything about in the documentation
11:46 cait normally if you have a patch file, just do git am -iu3 file
11:46 aagren cait: how do you do it?
11:46 cait aagren: there should really be no hacking needed
11:47 aagren cait: agreed, but how
11:47 cait my coworker set it up, so i can't help with details
11:47 i think you just set it up in eht mta you use
11:47 and that can be anything, koha doesn't care really
11:47 aagren that is not what I need, and exactly what I have :)
11:48 cait I mean if you use nullmailer
11:48 you'd set that up to use an external smtp
11:48 i know we are sending all email from a central mail server
11:48 aagren I need to send directly to thirdparty smtp server because emails otherwise gets rejected, because this is the only one allowed to send as the needed domain
11:49 nullmailer is a no go, because I need my postfix for infrastructure purposes
11:49 cait this might not answer your question, but we send it all from a central email address that is in our domain
11:49 and the reply to is the library email
11:49 to avoid problems with email rejection
11:49 nullmailer is just an example, i think people really use different programs there, including postfix
11:50 aagren as stated above I need thirdparty smtp as first mailserver
11:50 cait aagren: maybe you shoudl bring it up on the mailing list
11:51 aagren So the answer here, for now, must be: low level hacking is needed
11:51 drojf aagren: you should be able to do that with postfix config
11:51 i dont see what low level hacking would be required
11:52 cait aagren: the answer is, we don't have the deatils for you right now
11:52 aagren I have edited Mail/Sendmail.pm to directly use thirdparty mailserver instead of localhost
11:52 because koha doesnt seem have an option for it
11:52 cait because koha expects that you configure that outside of koha
11:52 aagren cait: ok.. thanks
11:53 cait using the software of your choice
11:53 that's why there is not much koha configuraiton about email setup
11:53 aagren cait: dont think that is possible in my setup. If thirdparty mailserver sees that my local mailserver has been involed, it rejects the mail
11:54 they are aggressive wrt to spam protection
11:54 drojf you can use an external smtp in postfix
11:54 aagren Jep, but that is not an option either
11:54 I need to keep mail local due to infrastructure .. in local setup
11:55 cait hm, sorry, i think we don't understand the problem
11:56 aagren ok .. my local postfix needs to be as it is, and not deliver mail through the thirdparty mailserver
11:56 because of the way our infrastructure is setup
11:57 so I need to be able to tell Mail/Sendmail to use another server than localhost
11:57 cait i think it sounds like aproblem quite specific to your setup
11:57 drojf ok. if you cannot use your local MTA _at all_, then you probably really have to change it in koha
11:57 meliss joined #koha
11:57 cait koha is built to use the local MTA.
11:58 drojf still worth to ask on the mailing list, maybe others were in the same situation
11:59 aagren cait: that was the answer I was looking for - thanks :) sorry for the confusing description of my setup
12:00 I think it should be possible to configure MTA in koha - cant remember many project in need of sending mail, where this is not configurable. But that is just my $0.02
12:00 drojf aagren: patches welcome
12:00 aagren drojf: roger that :)

13:44 wahanui what's up, tcohen
13:44 tcohen broad networking issues
13:44 hi wahanui
13:44 #koha is there a kosher way of overriding the new() constructor when using Class::Accessor?
13:46 anyone?
13:46 wahanui Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
13:49 cait hm couldn't you write another constructor?
13:50 tcohen why would I do that?
13:50 cait into the pm where you are using Class::Accessor
13:50 tcohen ->new() is the most obvioius name for it
13:50 cait becasue... you are overiding it?
13:51 i think i might be misunderstanding... also my head has landed in my recent java course
13:51 tcohen Class::Accessor autogenerates the new() constructor
13:51 I expected it to be overriden by my own sub new {} implementation
13:52 drojf joined #koha
13:53 cait what do you want to do that the basic constructor doesn't do?
13:53 tcohen I'd like to set default values for some of the accessors
13:53 and check mandatory ones are passed
13:53 which sounds pretty basic
13:53 cait hm the default values i think you can do
13:53 http://search.cpan.org/~kasei/[…]Class/Accessor.pm
13:54 tcohen i don't find it
13:54 cait hm i think i shold stick to my tickets today
13:55 you can use it with a %fields ... but that's probably not what you want to do
13:55 tcohen the trick is to create a base package with another name, and make the desired one a subclass of it
13:56 cait: that works, and that's pretty much all that works it seems
13:56 that's why peple like Moose and friends I guess
13:56 things get tricky to early
13:56 *too*
