04:04 KeithS I am looking for guidance on updating the authorities file based on biblio data. In transition from another system that did not use authorities, I imported the biblio data into Koha (17.11). Now when I want to edit the subject tracings of a manually imported biblio, it doesn't allow me to edit. I assume this is because the new subject tracing is not in the Authorities. Are there any shortcuts on this?

07:10 andreashm salut
07:11 cait good morning #koha!
07:11 andreashm hey cait
07:11 upgrade to 18.11 completed. yay!
07:11 liliputech_asu morning :)
07:12 cait andreashm: let me know how it goes!
07:12 but great to hear :)
07:13 andreashm it went well. had some issues with automatic renewals and fines as cronjobs didn't run in the correct order when we started them again. but that was our fault, we should schedule them better.
07:14 cait: ^
07:16 * magnuse waves
07:16 cait ah yeah... i had some merge error there too in the past :)
07:16 nothing bad tho, but good to keep an eye on the files
07:20 andreashm most things we've had issues with is our own fault basically. Koha has been behaving well. =)

09:05 KeithS What is the apt-get command to install koha 17.11. I am migrating servers and need to install the older version before updating. I assume apt-get install koka-core will install the latest version.
09:08 cait KeithS: I think you woudl have to go differently as the 17.11 is no longer maintained
09:09 may i ask why you want to install the old version first?
09:10 you can load your db into a newer version to trigger an update (I asusme you can install older manually, but that might be a way to avoid that)
09:11 https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]ki/Koha_on_Debian here is some information about the setup - you can see ther eis no codename for 17.11 anymore
09:12 or maybe 17.11 woudl still work - does someone else know?
09:12 ashimema anyone got any ideas for new features or enhancements that would 'improve social mobility' ?
09:12 KeithS @cait, so if I install latest version (19.x), I can I do a restore from a koha backup made on a version 17.11?
09:12 huginn` KeithS: I suck
09:12 ashimema wierd tender question.. how will your product/company improve the social mobility of the local area..
09:13 cait KeithS: yes
09:13 the application detects the mismatch between the versoin in the db and the koha version and starts an update process
09:15 ashimema: what is social mobility?
09:15 KeithS Just for my personal clarity: (1) run koha-backups on existing server (2) install latest version on new server (3) copy gz files to new server (4) run koha-restore (5) Koha updates db
09:16 ashimema ermm..
09:16 cait ashimema: i am looking it up right now :P
09:16 KeithS: i think in theory yes - haven't used the back up tools myself yet
09:16 hm
09:16 ashimema erm.. ways to help people help themselves..
09:16 cait maybe you want to do a dump instead
09:16 ashimema moving up the social/class ladder
09:16 cait you will need to create the db with the dump
09:17 not load into an existing one
09:17 ashimema loosely relates to accessability too
09:17 KeithS mysqldump?
09:17 cait not sure what the restore does... ashimema do you know?
09:17 KeithS: wondering if the backups /restore contain just the data or also the statements to create the tables
09:17 you don't want to load data into a 19.05 db - you want your 17.11 db as it is now so the update works smootly
09:18 ashimema afraid we don't use the backup tools either.. we just mysqldump
09:18 cait yeah it's what i have used too
09:18 KeithS: mysqldump is easy to use -if you look it up i'd try that
09:18 KeithS SO... mysqldump on existing server, then rebuild on new system and allow new system to read and update it
09:18 cait if you look at the files, there should be "create table" statements in it
09:19 yes
09:19 and don't run the web installer on your new server
09:19 load the db
09:19 KeithS After loading then run the web installer?
09:19 cait it shoudl then trigger that yep
09:19 KeithS THANKS LOADS!
09:19 cait but you don#t want it to create a 19.05 db first
09:20 as you are testing first (i hope) things should work out :)
09:21 ashimema: i've looked up social mobility and still have no clue...
09:21 inlibro joined #koha
09:22 ashimema did my description help at all cait ?
09:23 cait which description?
09:24 ashimema social mobility: the upward movement of population through the class system
09:24 cait that didn't come through
09:25 ashimema so in this context really it's about finding ways to help people help themselves to better themselves..
09:25 cait ah ok... not the same wording
09:25 ashimema sorta relates to accessability too
09:25 cait maybe somethign about company policy for personal development?
09:25 accessibility might be good too yes
09:25 ashimema general 'how will your product help make the area a better place to live'
09:25 cait internships?
09:25 as you are pretty spread out it's hard to apply i guess
09:26 ashimema problem is.. it all has the caveat of it has to help their local population.. and none of us are based there..
09:26 indeed
09:28 hense I was looking for new features or improvements to koha we could code do probono that would help the whole community in this sort of respect but could also be sold as great locally
09:28 accessability seems a good one..
09:28 tracking of mobile libraries on a map perhaps
09:28 those sorts of things..
09:29 andreash_ joined #koha
09:30 eythian ashimema: it should totally be easy to waffle on about how contributions to free software library systems go towards improving literacy of people in disadvantaged areas etc.
09:30 ashimema Indeed.. except they add the local factor again..
09:34 eythian "this then improves the availability of freely distributable, modifiable, and customisable library systems for local organisations such as community centres and schools (etc.)"
09:34 ashimema nice

11:46 ashimema hi
11:46 wahanui hello, ashimema
11:47 oleonard ashimema: I'm getting an error when running the db update for Bug 14570
11:47 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=14570 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Pushed to master , Make it possible to add multiple guarantors to a record
11:47 ashimema poop
11:48 what's the error.. I thought I'd tested it pretty well with all sorts of wierd data issues
11:48 I must have missed a case
11:49 oleonard http://paste.koha-community.org/8450
11:50 it is not uncommon for me to have updatedatabase errors because I have crufty data
11:51 cait which makes you a great tester
11:57 oleonard This did not help me get that job as gourmet chocolate tester
11:57 ashimema lol
11:57 cait :)
11:57 ashimema that's a really wierd error
11:58 `duplicate key on write or update`.. when creating the table in the first palce
11:58 * `duplicate key on write or update`.. when creating the table in the first place
11:58 did you test this patch before.. does your db already have the table?
11:59 oh.. no.. no it cant have as the next line populating the table also fails because the table doens't exist yet!
11:59 wow
12:22 inlibro joined #koha
12:31 wizzyrea joined #koha
12:39 oleonard Hi wizzyrea
12:49 vnourdin joined #koha
13:10 andreashm oleonard: that looks kind of like the errors we where getting because of utf8mb4 and duplicates on foreign keys. When running updatedatabase.pl the tablespace got messed up and we had tables that both existed and didn't.
13:10 I really need to write down that bug
13:10 cait that sounds awful
13:11 ashimema is josef_moravec still lurking.. not seen him around in ages
13:11 andreashm josef had seen similar
13:11 cait: yes, it was
13:12 it delayed us upgrading from june to august
13:12 ashimema haha.. that may have well been what made me just think of him
13:12 andreashm https://stackoverflow.com/ques[…]hen-using-utf8mb4
13:12 ashimema a vague recollection he had mentioned something similar
13:12 * cait realized she shoudl update translatoins
13:12 * andreashm is not a fan of the choice to have that collation as default
13:12 cait well... translate actually, they have been updated
13:13 khall joined #koha
13:13 ashimema hmm.. we've had it as default for years longer than community have here..
13:13 it's the 'safest' to ensure utf8 compatability for all
13:13 andreashm ashimema: maybe not so many customers that have weird diacritics/different letters?
13:14 yes, but utf8mb4_bin would have been better from what I understand
13:14 ashimema mm.. perhaps..
13:14 * ashimema can't remember the difference..
13:14 andreashm ashimema: yes, good for korean, japanese etc., bad for nordic countries and eastern europe.
13:14 * ashimema also can't remember if it was around when we first moved to utf8mb4
13:15 ashimema bad for nordic?
13:15 andreashm ashimema: _bin seems to make a difference for diacritics and case
13:15 ashimema in what way?
13:15 andreashm The letters O and Ö are both treated as O
13:15 * ashimema is more than happy for a bug to be submitted to suggest such a change..
13:15 andreashm This creates duplicates. Especially bad in foreign keys (for us, mostly user.id)
13:15 ashimema though as you've shown earlier.. such a change for upgrades is just painful
13:16 andreashm Yeah, don't know the best way around this.
13:16 ashimema any chance you could write that up.. it does sound like something I'd like to pursue
13:16 hugs :)
13:16 * ashimema takes dog for a quick walk whilst he ponders
13:16 andreashm But I should start with writing that bug. It's high on my todo list (unfortunately, so are a lot of other things)
13:18 But I'll try to add a bug for that later today (tonight)
13:22 inlibro joined #koha
13:33 ashimema Hmm, I think I remember some of the reasoning behind not using _bin now.. it was to do with not wanting to require exact character (including accents) for searching or something
13:33 Needs thought
13:46 tcohen morning all
13:47 cait bug 23484 ouch
13:47 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=23484 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, Needs Signoff , Holds to pull (pendingreserves.pl) uses removed default_branch_item_rules table

14:21 I think it depens on bug 23281, correct? (I've added it, but want to make sure)
14:21 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=23281 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, tomascohen, Pushed to master , Add Koha::Objects::Limit::Library
14:22 magnuse joined #koha
14:22 oleonard ashimema: I was afk for a while... Does your finding suggest a fix I can do on my end?
14:22 tcohen it doesn't
14:22 ^^ cait

14:23 tcohen Koha::Object::Limit::Library <> Koha::ObjectS::Limit::Library
14:23 ashimema I couldn't work it out oleonard :(
14:52 Nemo_bis There's a Koha discussion room now at Skövde
15:22 cait tcohen: ok?
15:22 can you explain?
15:22 i mean why we need both...
15:22 in this case (I know we need both)
15:22 inlibro joined #koha
15:23 cait hm or maybe not... heh, it's confusing, but might be not good right now to get more confsued

17:11 tcohen @later tell cait those classes are used to add superpowers to Koha::Object(s)-based classes. Specifically, Koha::Object::Limits::Library adds a Koha::Object based class the ability to define library constraints to the object (i.e. it adds methods so those limits can be added). Then Koha::Objects::Limits::Library adds plural classes a new method: search_with_library_limits that does what we would expect from it, perform a regular search on
17:11 huginn` tcohen: The operation succeeded.
17:11 tcohen the table, but crafting the query so the (added) library_id parameter is used to filter the results based on the configured limits

17:29 phasefx_ hi guys, if a bug fix broke something, do you report a new bug or re-open the bug associated with the commit that broke things?
17:32 oleonard A new bug, with the old bug as a dependency
18:23 inlibro joined #koha
18:26 kidclamp oleonard: looking from mobile, yes it makes much more sense
18:26 I still think the plus minus would help
18:27 on a browser search it is confusing, clicking to hide really isn't helpful when not no mobile
18:27 oleonard It probably shouldn't do anything at all if the layout isn't narrow
18:27 The "refine" link I mean
18:28 kidclamp if it could not be a link that would be ideal on wide display

19:08 greenjimll Any Other Business
19:09 kidclamp we can all still disucsss :-)
19:09 even if not meeting
19:09 greenjimll Er, or "general discussion" according the agenda. :-)
19:11 wizzyrea so what about the devbox question?

19:13 kidclamp September 4? 13 UTC?
19:13 greenjimll Well, I have repeatedly broken kohadevbox's by running out of disc space whilst doing "git pull" to update them. I've started to work on a Perl script to resize the VM, but wonder if others had same problem.
19:13 wizzyrea right
19:13 yes
19:13 my way round it is to use SYNC_REPO
19:13 don't keep the repo inside the devbox
19:14 bonus you don't lose anything when you inevitably destroy your vagrant box for one reason or another
19:14 davidnind kidclamp++
19:14 greenjimll Ah, right. Is that recommended in the docs? Must have missed it.
19:14 wizzyrea I don't know if it's recommended
19:14 but it is listed as an option there
19:14 I mean *I* recommend it
19:14 greenjimll :-)
19:14 wizzyrea it could probably *BE* a recommendation
19:14 :D

19:15 Log:            http://meetings.koha-community[…]21-19.04.log.html
19:15 greenjimll It sounds like a good idea - git pull often runs out of disc otherwise now and breaks even vagrant up sometimes.
19:15 kidclamp you can expand your devbox, but it takes some doing
19:15 wizzyrea yeah it's not a trivial thing really
19:15 I thought we had a wiki page about that
19:15 greenjimll Yes, that's why I was looking to script it.
19:16 kidclamp that would be cool
19:16 greenjimll Got as far as cloning vmdk to a vdi image, expanding and reattaching today, but then would need ansible to expand filesystem on guest.
19:17 Hence not wanting to go too far down the rabbit hole if there's a better solution such as your repo syncing. Thanks.
19:17 wizzyrea you might have better luck with the testing docker thing?
19:17 it's a different animal altogether
19:17 well not altogether
19:17 it's like a great dane vs a shih tzu
19:18 greenjimll Knowing me, both would poop on my laptop. :-) :-)
19:18 wizzyrea rofl
19:19 greenjimll OK, I'll try the sync repo thing and have a look at docker too. Thanks. I was spending more of my scant time trying to fix kohadevbox/git than actually developing/testing.
