#09:05:43dbsso how's that 1.6.0.0 release looking? :)
#09:07:38eby has quit IRC
#09:07:38eby_ is now known as eby
#09:09:01phasefx_dbs: are you guys using a custom client or the 1.6.0.0 client?
#09:10:48dbsphasefx: custom, man
#09:10:56phasefx_a 1.9 xulrunner?
#09:11:09dbsConifer_2009_07_27 to give you an idea of when we cut the release
#09:11:26dbsmust be
#09:12:45dbs fires up the virtual image to find out
#09:13:32phasefx_some printers aren't working with xr1.9, and there's a harmless error in some cases when going from the 1.4 client to the 1.6 client (where the 1.6 client is trying to access locally stored data involving printing). Not much I can do with the first one except file a mozilla bug when I get more details; I'm going to poke on the latter some
#09:16:57atz has joined #evergreen
#09:17:22dbsnope, 1.8.1.3 it looks like. hmm
#09:18:04phasefx_I'd expect for some things to be broken in 1.6 against a 1.8xr, but I can't think of anything specific
#09:18:59dbsnothing that people have yelled at me about, at least
#09:19:02jenny1 has joined #evergreen
#09:19:37dbsbut then - if you backported a bunch of features etc after July 27, then we wouldn't be hitting it yet
#09:20:04dbsJuly 27... wasn't that, like, 4 months ago? heh

#09:50:51dbsoh yay, we're actually at 1.9.0.7
#09:50:51zed2if I want to add a couple of new config.identification_type fields do I just add them directly to the database? or is there a way through the interface?
#09:51:19zed2When I create new config.identification_type fields, is there anything else I need to worry about?
#09:51:23dbsYou can definitely add them directly to the database
#09:51:40zed2thanks

#13:23:06dbsanoopa: this won't be any consolation, but when I started digging into permissions ages ago, the response I got was that the out-of-the-box default permissions weren't expected to be complete / usable
#13:24:08dbsso... there's definitely some work to do on that front if we want to get there (which would be a reasonable goal, IMHO, as long as there aren't endless "What? Circulators have overrides by default?" vs. "What? Circulators don't have overrides by default?" threads
#13:24:26anoopadbs: I think the problem was that we added new permissions to perm_list if one doesn't do that then the upgrade 'should' be ok (I think)
#13:25:29dbswell, perm_list just reflects the permissions that are required by pcrud or hard-coded at the service level
#13:25:39anoopaNot sure if I am explaining the issue correctly : )
#13:27:32dbsNew permissions were required by pcrud or at the service level, were added to perm_list, but weren't added to the perm_grp_map?
#13:29:11anoopadbs correct
#13:29:56miker_I've been thinking about perms a bit too, and I think the first step is getting rid of the surrogate key on permission.perm_list ... that requires that all perms have reasonable description fields
#13:30:33dbsmiker_++ # natural keys!!! :)
#13:30:54miker_well, natural keys where they're more good than pain
#13:32:16miker_and ppl.code is one such spot
#13:34:47anoopaSo in 1.4 we added a group_application.user.staff.supercirc which we thought we needed, well that threw off the ids in perm_list

#18:31:31dbfletcher has joined #evergreen
#18:33:52dbfletcheri recently downloaded the virtualbox image for evergreen 1.4.0.4 . It starts fine but I am never able to log in to the client. it just tellsm me to check username password (admin, open-ils). Anyone have experience with this?
#18:35:25phasefx_I forget, does it have instructions for starting up the backend services, or does that happen automatically?
#18:35:57[1]atz has joined #evergreen
#18:36:01dbfletcherit give you a scipt to stsrtup evergreen... but it seems after you run it once.. the severice start automatically after that
#18:37:30phasefx_may want to try logging in with srfsh, can you sudo su - opensrf then srfsh then login admin open-ils staff ?
#18:38:01dbfletcheri'll check.. be back in a sec.
#18:39:46atz has quit IRC
#18:39:46[1]atz is now known as atz
#18:40:30dbfletcherat the srfsh prompt now
#18:41:56phasefx_should get back some text which includes "textcode":"SUCCESS"
#18:42:36dbfletcheri get "cant communication with service openils.auth
#18:43:47phasefx_control+d or type exit to get out of srfsh. Try this ps -aef | grep open-ils.auth There should be at least a Listener and a Drone process
#18:44:50branflakesdbfletcher: I noticed your error message doesn't have a hyphen in open-ils.
#18:45:51branflakesWait, never mind. Login doesn't require an OpenSRF service name (you don't have to specific open-ils.auth as part of the login command).
#18:46:10dbfletcherhmmm.. nope.. i guess that give a clue... should i goole on my own to find out how to start thoses services or are you able to help walk me thru that step. I have followed what is on the evergreen site for that image download
#18:46:54dbfletcherthat was a type.. onthe hyphen.. sorry
#18:46:59dbfletchertypo
#18:47:03phasefx_as user opensrf, do /openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -l -a stop_all (just to clear the PID files, I'm pretty sure services aren't running)
#18:47:53phasefx_then do the same command but change stop_all to start_router then repeat again with start_perl (wait a few seconds, or watch top and wait until cpu activity dies down) then one last time with start_c
#18:48:36phasefx_you could do start_all in lieu of all of that, but you're likely to hit a race condition within a virtual image
#18:50:42dbfletcherok.. stop said no process... let me try the start commands. Forgive the lag.. bouncing back and forth between this machine and remote client
#18:56:58dbfletchersome progress.. give me a few more mins.. gonna try the client dirctly on local host

#19:08:28pmplett has joined #evergreen
#19:08:39dfletcher__now i get "network or server failure"... let me run the evergreen_startup script again to make sure there wasnt error message there
#19:10:10atz has quit IRC
#19:10:50atz has joined #evergreen
#19:12:11dfletcher__ok.. success!!!!! now to reboot and see if it works again.. if not i will go thru the steps lested above again
#19:21:29dfletcher__didnt survive reboot. but step outlined above work. if someone want to verify the that instructions as posted dont work right, that would be great. it appears to be a problem with the start_evergreen script
#19:50:30dbfletcherthanks for your help.
#19:51:06phasefx_np, keep in mind that 1.4.0.4 has some bugs that have since been fixed. The latest 1.4 series release is 1.4.0.7
#19:51:48dbfletcherya.. but there doesnt seem to be a preconfig system for that yet. is there?
#19:52:23phasefx_no, most folks' brain cycles are going toward the anytime-now 1.6 release
#19:53:26phasefx_dbs put up a virtualbox image of that, I believe, but it's not advertised yet on the download page
#19:54:03dbfletchergotcha... i see many headache ahead for me however. if the library does go down this path, we mostly likely will want to leverage our exisiting hyper-V servers.. and centos is the only linux flavor that i have successfully got to work with hyper-v integration compnents... doesnt seem to be to many installations using centos
#19:54:55phasefx_yeah, I imagine some pain there, but if you succeed at getting EG running on centos, I think there'd be many people who'd hug you :)
#19:55:54dbfletchergreat.... but for now at least the library staff can play around as see if it is a good replacement for their aging winnebago system
#19:56:18wlayton has joined #evergreen
#19:56:38phasefx_you may want to upgrade that image so that it's using 1.4.0.7. Shouldn't be difficult
#19:57:01dbfletcheron a side note.. is this a proper forum for the library staff to post thiere quesions when they are playing with evergree?
#19:57:42dbfletcheri'll play with that on a opy of the image
#19:57:46dbfletchercopy
#19:58:08dbfletcherman.. kb is skipping lots of character tonight.. or perhaps it is the operator??
#19:58:31phasefx_http://evergreen-ils.org/listserv.php has info for a good mailing list. This channel is another option, but may be intimidating to non-techies, and folks aren't always here realtime
#19:59:50dbfletcherok.. I know the one ref librarian poted something on there.. but i guess i was more accustomed to real-time chat... we will try both and see which seems to work best.
#20:01:00dbfletcheragain thanks for you help and if i have any luck with centos i'll be sure to post.
#20:01:40phasefx_even if someone isn't around on here, it's good to ask your questions anyway. We tend to stay logged in and see questions that were asked earlier. I could then type something like @later tell dbfletcher survey says, and our IRC bot pinesol would talk to you when you next piped up on channel
#20:02:11phasefx_@later tell dbfletcher test
#20:02:11pinesolphasefx_: The operation succeeded.
#20:02:40phasefx_and of course, the channel is logged, and eventually indexed by google
#20:09:12dbfletchergood info. thanks. i'm outta here for now.

#22:39:41dbsokay, committed 14849 using the power of my mind to test the upgrade. it's outside the transaction, so it really can't hurt... can it?
#22:45:55wlaytondbs++ # thanks!
#22:46:51dbsno no, the thanks is all owed to you! wlayton++
#22:47:20wlaytonI promise that once this upgrade + migration (phase 2) is done, I'll shift back from Pester Mode to Patch Mode.
#22:48:15wlayton shakes clenched fist at III
#22:50:35dbswlayton: I appreciate you in both Pester & Patch mode!
#22:51:15dbsdoes III really only spit out exports in combined bib + MFHD?
#22:53:00pmp_afk is now known as pmplett
#22:53:38wlaytondbs: I believe so, but I haven't had a proper look yet
#22:54:24wlaytonWe had to wait like 2.5 months for III to enable the MFHD module so that we could "export" MFHD...
#22:55:02wlayton...which required two upgrades apparently (we were two versions behind)
#22:56:20dbscrazzzy
#22:59:21wlaytonOf course, the two upgrades _still_ didn't enable the MFHD export and they had to debug some other issue before George finally got it working.
