01:42 jmsasse Pretty quiet around these parts today.
01:42 Almost too quiet...
01:56 BobB: Hello. How goes it in Sydney?
01:56 wizzyrea hi jmsasse
01:56 jmsasse hi wizzyrea.
01:57 What's shaking?
01:57 wizzyrea thankfully not wellington :)
01:57 jmsasse Good to hear.
01:57 wizzyrea how about you?
01:58 jmsasse Same old, same old.
01:58 wizzyrea (because we have earthquakes ya? :))
01:58 jmsasse Yes, I've heard of a few in the news.
01:58 * wizzyrea guesses that means that the library is doing well and things are ticking along
01:59 jmsasse Yes, ticking is a good way to describe things
01:59 wizzyrea hopefully not ticking you off ;)
02:00 jmsasse Studying for Linux+ and LPIC-1 certs
02:00 Well...
02:00 wizzyrea oh that's fun, the certs, not the ticking.
02:01 jmsasse Yeah, I'm looking to improve my lot in life.
02:04 How are you and the hubby?
02:04 wizzyrea doin good :)
02:07 jmsasse rangi: Howdy again
02:15 rangi hey again :)
02:17 jmsasse I heard today a system in Oregon is putting a bid to host KohaCon next year.
02:18 rangi cool
02:20 jmsasse It'll be nice to catch up with all of you overseas folks again.
02:24 :)
02:24 wizzyrea has it really been 3 years since there was one in the US?
02:24 jmsasse Coming up on 4 years this Oct.
02:25 If there's anything left of America then...:(
02:27 wizzyrea :(
02:29 jmsasse Koha-US will be in Idaho this year. Everyone seems to favor the west.
02:31 OMG, Windows Cortana is talking to me!
02:31 wizzyrea super creepy when that happens
02:32 jmsasse It really startled me. Installing Win10 virtual machine and bam!, there she was
02:48 dcook Oregon, eh? That's Pacific Northwest enough to basically be its own country. Maybe I could come to that.
02:48 wizzyrea you could go to vancouver and wave to kohacon
02:49 but don't try to take your laptop :P
02:50 dcook hehe
02:50 Right timezone so I could follow along I'm sure from the library or something
02:50 jmsasse I think Canadians are safe. Yoour from Regina,right dcook?
02:52 dcook Yep. Good memory.
02:52 Or good Googling :p
02:54 papa joined #koha
02:54 jmsasse Nah, I remember.
02:58 dcook What versions of Debian are we supporting again?
02:58 Jessie and Wheezy or just Jessie?
02:58 Probably Jessie and Wheezy
02:58 wizzyrea not squeeze, wheezy is getting close to going out
02:58 and whatever the next one is
02:59 jmsasse I switched from Jessie to Deb 9 testing, SId I think.
02:59 Not sure if they have a codename for it yet.
03:00 wizzyrea Sid, that sounds right
03:01 BobB hi jmsasse still about?
03:01 jmsasse BobB: yes I am.
03:02 BobB hey
03:02 jmsasse Coming to the States this August?
03:03 BobB hmmm
03:03 still hoping to, but its not looking completely positive
03:03 we will be going to LA in October to meet a new grandchild, all being well :)
03:04 will you be in Idaho jsaasse?
03:04 jmsasse It would be a treat to see you and Irma again.
03:04 Yes, I will.
03:04 BobB cool
03:04 we'd love to come
03:05 irma has family in Seattle area too
03:05 so fingers crossed, but will have to see
03:05 jmsasse Congrats on your grandchild :)
03:05 BobB #1 is 18mths old now and we are overdue for a cuddle
03:05 dcook Hmm where's eythian when you need him
03:05 BobB and #2 is due in Oct
03:06 dcook rangi: Are you still around? I'm sure you'd know the answer..
03:06 Actually, maybe I'll just poke around
03:06 wizzyrea i wish my parents would have the "overdue for a cuddle" feeling
03:06 BobB aw wizz
03:06 jmsasse :)
03:06 wizzyrea but they require me to bring the cuddle to them
03:06 which is spendy :/
03:07 BobB are they in Kansas?
03:07 wizzyrea yeah
03:07 BobB QF put LA on sale yesterday, but yeah, still spendy
03:08 dcook So librdf-trine-perl_1.011.orig.tar.gz contains the original original source...
03:08 Then librdf-trine-perl_1.011-2.debian.tar.xz will contain any patches that maintainers have made?
03:09 BobB joel I'll let you know when we decide ok?
03:09 jmsasse BobB: I envy your ability to be on a plane that long.
03:09 I would need to be be sedated.
03:09 BobB well its never fun, its just to be endured, for a purpose
03:09 alcohol works :)
03:10 though I avoid it, dehydrating
03:10 jmsasse With all the incidents on US airlines lately, that may not be the best idea
03:11 BobB yeah is it still safe to come to US?
03:11 today we heard of an aussie guy got detained for overstaying his visa 90 minutes
03:11 jmsasse That's a good question..
03:12 BobB Immigration people are never friendly, now it seems they have license to be even more overbearing
03:13 jmsasse I saw that a person is suing an airline for being stuck between two obese people on a flight from Austrailia to US
03:13 BobB i always try to get an aisle seat, so at least can escape for a while
03:13 jmsasse Aussie, I believe. Claims back injury, etc.
03:13 dcook BobB: That's old news. I think he got released today after two weeks in prison :).
03:14 BobB anyhoo, customers waiting, will keep you updated jsasse
03:14 jmsasse I go for the aisle too.
03:15 Thanks, Bob. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you in August.
03:15 BobB two weeks! crikey
03:15 will do, thx

03:16 dcook Hmm looks like the RDF::Trine in Jessie is buggy...
03:17 wizzyrea plane rides aren't so bad, basically think of it like a really uncomfortable sleepover.
03:17 long ones anyway
03:17 dcook I don't even mind the long ones so much
03:17 wizzyrea you get on, they give you food
03:17 dcook I had a 10 month old baby on the last one
03:17 wizzyrea you eat it, go to sleep
03:17 wake up, they feed you
03:17 dcook Mind you, they slept 7.5/15 hours, so that wasn't so bad
03:17 wizzyrea you feel excited because there are only 4 more hours, watch a few movies
03:18 jmsasse I'm not able to sleep in public and am a bit claustrophobic.
03:19 Tall as well, so scrunched too.
03:20 Complete sedation from start to finish would be for me.
03:20 They do it for dental work, maybe they'll start for long flights:)
03:22 dcook Hmm maybe drojf will be on tonight..
03:34 jmsasse Koha, I bid you adieu. A bientot.
03:43 dcook If we do use RDF::Trine, that means we'll have to roll a newer version ourselves... I think this has come up before..
03:51 Oh man... bulk ops must never have worked with RDF::Trine::Store::SPARQL..
03:51 Although my latest patch makes it work :D
04:30 Attean might be an alternative to RDF::Trine but it has a lot of dependencies...
04:30 It is in Debian though..
04:30 Hmm ancient version though maybe
04:31 Whatever. I'll chat to drojf about it.
04:44 Ahh I forgot that fredericd was interested in RDF...

05:25 dcook Hmm trying to remember how to get Debian to update their packages..
05:26 I know eythian raised an issue on Zebra 2.0.59 with https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bi[…]rt.cgi?bug=777515
05:26 But I don't think anyone ever answered or updated the package..
05:28 Same maintainer does libmarc-record-perl apparently...
05:41 Francesca joined #koha
05:43 dcook @later tell fredericd I recall you having an interest in RDF? Let me know if you're still interested. I'm doing some work with magnuse on this topic.

06:06 is there a typical australian greeting?
06:06 or a canadian-australian one?

06:07 As for Canadians..

11:31 sonOfRa joined #koha
11:32 sonOfRa Hello Folks. I'm currently looking for a solution to manage our institute's library (around 4000 books). Currently there is no real management system. There's a "wikindx" instance, which just lists what books should be *theoretically* available, but it has no facilities to manage books that are currently in the hands of a certain user.
11:33 Would koha be suitable for this? I don't have any strict requirements like deadlines etc, the only reason for the installation would be a "who has which book" registry
11:33 Things that would be nice: LDAP user management (as far as I can tell, koha is capable of this), and LaTeX exports of citations
11:41 eythian sonOfRa: because everyone else seems to be at lunch or something, the short answer is "yes"
11:41 It'll do a whole lot more too, but whether you use that is up to you.
11:43 sonOfRa Awesome.
11:43 wahanui That'll be NOK 10 for the awesome jar, sonOfRa
11:43 sonOfRa wahanui: do you pass the turing test?
11:43 wahanui sonofra: wish i knew
11:44 sonOfRa Well, I'll get to installing a test instance and see if any questions arise in the process. Thanks!

12:10 sonOfRa So, I got a test instance up and running, and clicked my way through the web setup wizard. After it was done, it proceeded to log me out. Now I can't log back in, the data I used for logging in when starting the wizard is rejected
12:10 https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]e_a_Koha_instance I followed this guide
12:13 oleonard sonOfRa: You should be able to confirm the correct credentials by looking at koha-conf.xml
12:14 In the <config> section look for <user> and <pass>
12:15 sonOfRa: What version did you install?
12:17 sonOfRa koha-common/stable,now 16.11.06.
12:17 NateC joined #koha
12:18 oleonard Okay, so at this point you will only have the database user available to log in. So my suggestion above should work.
12:19 sonOfRa Verified the credentials in the koha.xml file: https://slevermann.de/public/koha-creds.png (don't worry, the instance isn't publicly reachable, the passwords visible in the screenshot won't help anyone)
12:20 Aha, it works with the *other* password, listed under <serverinfo> rather than <config>
12:20 I suppose the one in <config> is the password for the mysql-user to access the database.
12:22 oleonard I wouldn't have expected the <serverinfo> credentials to work.
12:22 But you're in?
12:23 sonOfRa Yep
12:24 Now it's telling me to create a user, library, patron types etc. Excellent
12:27 Is it generally recommended to have 2 accounts for a user who is both a staff member *and* a patron who can borrow books? Or can I safely borrow books as a staff member?
12:27 oleonard You can borrow books as a staff member
12:28 You'd only need more than one account if you wanted to test how the different permissions work
12:29 As long as you at least have an account with "superlibrarian" permissions you have the minimum required to work with the staff client.
12:29 And by "work with" I mean "test"
12:29 Of course you don't need to be a "superlibrarian" to do day to day operations.
12:30 sonOfRa Yeah, I just gave myself superlibrarian status, going to play around with adding books and people now.
12:33 https://perldoc.koha-community[…]th_with_ldap.html hmmm, do you happen to know if this supports TLS to connect to LDAP?
12:33 It seems to take just an LDAP host, but no protocol specifier
12:34 ashimema host can include protocol
12:34 ldaps:// I beleive from memory
12:34 sonOfRa Great
12:34 Yeah. Might have to set that up properly, because currently we only have starttls set up, I believe (which connects to the ldap:// port, but then upgrades to TLS)

12:45 sonOfRa I'm completely ignorant of how *professional* libraries are managed, but is there a simpler UI to add new books (or other records) than the rather complicated-looking UI under the Cataloguing menu?
12:45 I don't even know what half these fields *mean*
12:45 oleonard It's okay most librarians don't either ;)
12:46 sonOfRa: One good method is to use the Z39.50 search to import existing records which match the titles you have
12:47 I don't know if you imported all the sample data? Some Z39.50 servers should have been included in that I think
12:47 sonOfRa Ah, I haven't seen any sample data. I suppose I can try finding those.
12:47 The search told me I didn't have any targets to search, I suppose that's because I didn't import any search servers
12:48 oleonard sonOfRa: The installation process should have given you the option of including some sample data
12:48 sonOfRa Must've missed that or skipped it
12:50 oleonard http://zivotdesign.com/p/uploa[…]f2cb92cfeab74.png
12:51 pastebot "oleonard" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "sonOfRa: Sample Z39.50 server data" (12 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/405
12:52 magnuse or use the Fast Add framework if you can't import records
12:53 can i do another ncip call in 38 minutes ?
12:54 sonOfRa oleonard-away: thanks, that looks helpful
12:55 Fast Add framework also sounds good. I'll look into these things
12:58 marcelr joined #koha
12:59 sonOfRa Connection to the library of congress servers fails. Are those only available to american IP addresses, by chance?
13:04 tcohen marcelr: oops :-D
13:04 marcelr assumptions--
13:05 tcohen UNIMARC--
13:05 joking
13:05 sonOfRa Hm. Don't see a fast add framework in this instance. Is there a way I can limit this to essentially "Enter a Title, an Author, and an ISBN(if present)", and that's it? I'm afraid the person who will end up adding all these fields will be quite overwhelmed with the many fields
13:05 marcelr joking++
13:06 sonOfRa Some of the entries may not even be classified with anything, because they might be internal papers, unpublished dissertations, all kinds of things

17:46 oleonard Why does the staff client have a means of displaying a suggestion's "patronreason" but the OPAC doesn't have a way for the patron to give it?
17:50 edveal_lunch oleonard, sounds like backend dev before front end dev. Or just, "oh well,we don't really need their reson"... LOL
17:51 oleonard Luckily git is around to blame ME FROM 2011 :(
17:52 I hate that guy, he was the worst.
17:53 edveal LOL So you wern't really interested in the reson why they made the suggestion where you?
17:55 oleonard Ah never mind oleonard from 2011, you're off the hook. "patronreason" will only display authorized values.

18:16 oleonard Bug 18584 is a good idea Joubu
18:16 huginn_ 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=18584 trivial, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, ASSIGNED , Our legacy code contains trailing-spaces
