Re: [Koha] Install issue

[Mirko Tietgen]

Hi,

I assume your systems are 32bit?

We only had a 64bit version of libcryptx-perl in the repository
which may have caused the problem. Please do apt-get update and then
try to upgrade again.

Cheers,

Mirko

Re: [Koha] Koha Debian packages for 18.05.02 and 17.11.08 are up

[Mirko Tietgen]

Hi,

I think you are missing the point. You already do have
libhttp-oai-perl installed. Hence the conflict. Your proposed
changes will not help you at all. Your configuration does not allow
dpkg to remove libhttp-oai-perl during the upgrade process, which
could be a result of that package being labelled essential in your
configuration or something completely different. The expected
behaviour in a default installation is a few lines of "dependency
problems, but removing anyway as you requested" and then it's done.
Try adding --force-depends to your upgrade command, that may fix it.

Re: [Koha] Koha Debian packages for 18.05.02 and 17.11.08 are up

[Mirko Tietgen]

The problem is that Debian 9 ships libhttp-oai-perl in a version
that won't work with Koha. So as a temporary workaround we use a
custom package, libhttp-oai-3.27-perl. Check
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20800 for
more details.

The conflict is intended. You cannot have libhttp-oai-perl and
libhttp-oai-3.27-perl installed together. koha-common 18.05.x
depends on libhttp-oai-3.27-perl.

We have tested this in various setups to ensure the upgrade process
works. In your case, it does not work flawlessly and you do not want
to use the workaround. That's unfortunate, but it does not seem
feasible for us to investigate your local setup. Given that this is
a temporary solution and you are "not in a hurry", my advice is to
wait for Koha to support libhttp-oai-perl 4.07+ and we don't need
the workaround any longer.

Tomás has also answered to this thread. He has looked into this
before and will do again eventually (I hope). He is a Koha service
provider, so if it matters to you, sponsoring a development is
always an option.

Cheers,

Mirko

Re: [Koha] Koha 18.05.00 Debian package released

[Mirko Tietgen]

This may be the result of some local apt configuration. It works for
me (and others) with default configuration.

What you could do is
- make a backup (!!!)
- upgrade, allow koha-common and libhttp-oai-perl to be removed
- if koha-common 18.05 is not installed automatically afterwards,
install koha-common (18.05) again

Unless you remove with --purge, your installation should still work
and your Koha DB should be upgraded like normal. But as I said, make
a backup first.

HTH,

Mirko

Re: [Koha] Koha 18.05.00 Debian package released

[Mirko Tietgen]

Hi,

thanks a lot for your feedback. I understand you are on 17.11.06 and
then try to upgrade to 18.05.00, is that correct?

Narcis Garcia schrieb am 25.05.2018
> *The following packages will be REMOVED:**
> **  koha-common libhttp-oai-perl*

This indicates there is a problem with libhttp-oai-perl. The version
in Stretch (4.03) is broken. To provide the OAI functionality of
Koha, there is a backported version libhttp-oai-3.27-perl for
systems that ship libhttp-oai-perl 4.x. This version conflicts with
the systems libhttp-oai-perl.

However I can't reproduce the problem. On upgrade I get warnings,
but libhttp-oai-3.27-perl is installed and Koha is upgraded.

Could you share the output of

apt-cache policy koha-common

apt-cache policy libhttp-oai-perl

apt-cache policy libhttp-oai-3.27-perl

The Debian package of Koha 18.05.00 is now available from the
community repository. The repository layout has changed:

Koha 18.05 is now 'stable'.
Koha 17.11 is now 'oldstable'.
Koha 17.05 is now 'oldoldstable' (security updates only).

Please check the Koha wiki for more information about supported
branches and apt configuration:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian#Set_up_package_sources

The missing dependencies for Ubuntu 18.04 are now available for Koha
18.05 and 17.11. Installation should work out of the box.

If you encounter any problems with the repository, like missing
dependencies, please let me know.

[Koha] Koha 17.11.00 package / repository rollover

[Mirko Tietgen]

Good news everyone,

the Debian package for Koha 17.11.00 is now available from the
community repository.

With the new major release, the repository structure will change
slightly.

Koha 17.11 is now 'stable'.
Koha 17.05 is now 'oldstable'

Koha 16.11 is still maintained, but no futher Debian packages are
provided. The last packaged version 16.11.14 is available from the
16.11 pocket of the repository.

Koha 16.05 has had its last release two weeks ago and is no longer
maintained. The final version 16.05.19 is now available from the
16.05 pocket of the repository.

Please check the wiki for detailed apt configuration information:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian#Set_up_package_sources

Have a nice weekend,

[Koha] Koha 17.05.00 and 16.05.14 packages; repository reorganized

[Mirko Tietgen]

1. Koha 17.05.00 Debian package released
2. Koha 16.05.14 CRITICAL bugfix Debian package released
3. Koha community repository reorganized


Hi everybody,


1. Koha 17.05.00 Debian package released

The Debian package for Koha 17.05.00 is now available from the Koha
community repository.

The package is available via the 17.05/stable pocket of the
repository, more information below.


2. Koha 16.05.14 Debian package released

The Debian package for Koha 16.05.14 is now available from the Koha
community repository.

The package is available via the 16.05/oldoldstable pocket of the
repository, more information below.


3. Koha community repository reorganized

The repository has been completely reorganized for the 17.05
release. A lot of obsolete dependency packages have been removed,
additional configuration options are available.

You have two apt configuration options now:


a. Follow by codename (version number)

We do not have codenames for Koha versions yet, so we use the
version number instead

17.05
16.11
16.05

When a new major version is released, you will stay on the version
you have chosen until you change your apt configuration.

Example: Release of 17.11
If you have set "17.05" in your apt configuration, you will stay on
17.05 until you change your apt configuration to follow 17.11.

To use this option, choose one of the following in your apt
configuration:

(for 17.05)
deb https://debian.koha-community.org/koha 17.05 main

(for 16.11)
deb https://debian.koha-community.org/koha 16.11 main

(for 16.05)
deb https://debian.koha-community.org/koha 16.05 main


b. Follow by suite

This has been the standard way so far: follow Koha stable or
oldstable, which change every release cycle.
At the moment we have

stable17.05
oldstable 16.11

There is also oldoldstable this release cycle. This suite may not be
available in every release cycle.

oldoldstable  16.05

When a new major version is released, suite names will change and
you will upgrade to a newer branch of Koha with your next update.

Example: Release of 17.11
17.11 becomes "stable", 17.05 becomes "oldstable".
If you have set "stable" in your apt configuration, you will
automatically upgrade from 17.05 to 17.11.

To use this option, choose one of the following in your apt
configuration:

(for 17.05)
deb https://debian.koha-community.org/koha stable main

(for 16.11)
deb https://debian.koha-community.org/koha oldstable main

(for 16.05)
deb https://debian.koha-community.org/koha oldoldstable main


Cheers,

Mirko

Re: [Koha] Koha 16.05.13 release

[Mirko Tietgen]

The first package for Koha 16.05.13 accidentally contained a wrong
branch and was removed from the repository after discovery last week.

I have uploaded 16.05.13-2 to the Koha community repository.
Apologies for any inconvenience!

The Debian package for Koha 16.05.13 is now available from the Koha
community repository.

Please note that this will be the last official Debian package for
the Koha 16.05.x branch.

With the release of Koha 17.05, Debian packages will be available for
Koha 17.05.x('stable')
Koha 16.11.x('oldstable')

Koha 16.05.x will continue to be maintained during the coming
release cycle and receive maintenance and security updates, but
there won't be official Debian packages available from the Koha
community repository any longer.

Cheers,

Mirko

Yes, I know "everyone" can do it, in theory ;) Lacking the time to

Makes sense, I have not thought about that.

Wow. Thanks! I'm happy to write up something in German about it

Re: [Koha] Question about running PLACK

[Mirko Tietgen]

Hi,

That question does not work. Plack does not index your data as Zebra
does. You can't do what you describe here.

In other words, have any of you run in to issues that

You cannot remove Zebra or Koha will break. You cannot exchange
Plack for Zebra, because Plack does not do what Zebra does.

Try asking the right questions. Are you really talking about Plack?
Are you maybe thinking about Elasticsearch instead?

Why would you manually run Zebra? Use the indexer daemon or at least
a cron job.

Re: [Koha] Number of Koha Libraries in the World

[Mirko Tietgen]

Hi.

it needs privacy information. What is anonymized, where and when?
Who has access to non-anonymised data (if anyone)?

It needs an imprint/statement of responsibility on the website. Who
is responsible for gathering and processing the data, and for
anonymizing it? Where is the data stored?

It needs a license. Saying it is open data does not make it open, I
can't find a license except for the hea code.

It needs actual data to download, or it is not open data but some
graphs someone somewhere renders with data they pile up secretly.

It needs information about why a gazillion sysprefs are gathered, be
that anonymized or not, and probably an option to turn that off.

Just a pile of German 2€cents with basic questions nobody is going
to ask, but just not turn on the data collection. I'm asking it so
at some point I might be able to recommend turning it on, which so
far I don't, because I doubt it is compatible to German data privacy
laws.

Re: [Koha] KohaCon 2017 Online Registration Form

[Mirko Tietgen]

Hi,

from the IRC meeting I understand the fee and the registration is
there to avoid having locals attend the conference. Is that correct?

A very important point of Kohacon as I understand it is to give
locals a chance to participate in something they could otherwise
not be part of. Free of charge.

We switch the location every year and have rules to avoid it going
back and forth between Europe and the USA most of the time. Rules
that lead to the Philippines winning the bid by default, because a
European location was automatically ruled out this time.

As I understand, we do that so there is a small chance for people
to attend a Kohacon even if they can't travel to distant places.
I'd like people in the Philippines to have that chance next year.

I would like some clarification on this please.

The Debian package for Koha 16.05.04 is now available in the
community repository.

It is probably the first Koha package built on a plane. Enjoy.

[Koha] Kohacon 2017 at at Ayala Museum, Philippines

[Mirko Tietgen]

Hello everyone,

the deadline to hand in proposals to host Kohacon 2017 has ended.

We had two bids. Due to our policy to switch continents each year
only one of them was valid. That means we can skip the voting process.

Kohacon 2017 will take place at Ayala Museum, Makati, Philippines in
June 2017. You can find more info at
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon17_Proposals

Congratulations to the organizing group, we are looking forward to
another exciting Koha event.

Cheers,

Mirko

Have you followed the advice to enable mod_version, and did Apache
start after that? Have you been able to log into the staff client
and check the page I suggested? You have not mentioned it.

DOM indexing is unrelated to that, and you should only change it if
the system tells you to.

You have to enable mod_version for Apache.

Once your webserver is up again, check

regarding the Zebra problem. You may need to change to DOM indexing.

Given that it is a fork with lots of things people won't find in
Koha, I don't see how it is supposed to be a representative
demonstration of the Koha Integrated Library System.

Sorry, had to say it.

[Koha] Kohacon 2017

[Mirko Tietgen]

Hello everyone,

Kohacon 2016 is almost over. It was a fantastic event and I am sad to leave 
Thessaloniki and everyone here tomorrow.

We already have a wiki page for Kohacon 2017 bids, and I invite everyone to 
enter their proposals to host Kohacon next year.

My phone does not want to copy the link, so just do a search in the Koha wiki 
for kohacon17. 

Keep in mind that we have been in Europe this year, so we will pick a place on 
a different continent next year.

We have not set a deadline yet (I think), we should do so at one of the next 
IRC meetings.

Cheers from Thessaloniki,

Mirko

A good start may be to release the Onleihe integration for Koha that
is advertised on your website.

To me it sounds like you provide a hosted closed source fork of
Koha, which is rather anti-community.

Just a thought,

Good idea, but it does not work that way. Koha expects ZOOM in that
field. http://www.indexdata.com/yaz/doc/zoom.html

sru=get is the equivalent to operation=searchRetrieve, schema the
equivalent to recordSchema…

…a tilde (~) in the URL has to be encoded at least in newer versions
of Koha. I would assume the same for the other fields. That would
give you something like

sru=get,sru_version=1.1,schema=info%3Asrw%2Fschema%2F1%2Fmarcxml-v1.1-light

Not sure if that matters, but it works without / for other servers.

Try YAZ-client to test the connection. http://www.indexdata.com/yaz

Spoiler: it did not work for me anyway, but maybe the ZOOM stuff and
YAZ get you in the right direction. You may want to get in contact
with the Swissbib people if you can't get it to work.

I put up the information related to DNB (German National Library) a
while back. It's in German, but you can probably understand the
config part and how to use yaz-client to test.

Re: [Koha] Request to add a new support company

[Mirko Tietgen]

Hi Radek,

it is good practise not to use national top level domains for
commercial services related to Koha ILS.

If you try other national top level domains, you will find that they
are either forwarded to koha-community.org (like koha.no), used for
noncommercial Koha user groups, not registered at all or not related
to Koha ILS.

Using a national top level domain for commercial Koha support
implies the status of an "official" Koha support provider for that
particular country, but no such thing exists.

Please consider using eg. rbit.cz for your commercial services and
forwarding koha.cz to koha-community.org or a noncommercial czech
user group.

Thank you,

Mirko

Re: [Koha] Change default text of login field name

You can do that with JQuery (in the OPACUserJS system preference),
see
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/JQuery_Library#Change_the_text_of_the_OPAC_login_form_.28Bootstrap.29

Check the top of that page for instructions.

What files did you delete? And what kind of backup did you use?
If you deleted Koha system files, a database backup (like the Debian
packages provide) will not restore these. You might have to
reinstall Koha and then restore from backup.

Hi,

from the cc entry in your email I assume that you are using a Live

send your error messages to this vendor only and not to the list.

Live DVDs are out of date per default and contain bugs that are

My guess is that this percentage is higher in western
administrations that rather pay extra support fees than get their
act together and migrate to a recent operating system, because they
rely on custom software developed around the time of pyramids that
requires XP.

I live in Berlin. 28.902 of 70.223 Computers the Senate of Berlin is
responsible for were runnuning Windows XP end of October 2014. They
paid 300.000€ to get extra support from Microsoft until April
2015.[2] At that point the data security officer demanded 10.000s of
Computers running XP to be shut down immediately. Microsoft agreed
to renew the support contract once again.

In this case the information went public. I really don't want to
know how many cases like that we have in Germany alone. I don't know
what the status is today, but I have guess.

Fun fact: There were also 320 Servers running Windows 2003 Server
mid-2015, the extended support contract was supposed to cost about a
million Euro.[3]

Which means you are running a completely unsupported operating
system on some of your computers. That's scary. Good to hear you
plan to end that.

No, it won't. XP was dead before LE was born. It will probably not

I don't know how much money you would have to put into the paid
"Custom Plan" for something like this to happen, but since the rest
of the world does not have a paid "Support Win XP forever" plan,
it's not really their problem either.

If XP still works for you, cool. If it does not, well, there have
been a few new versions now to choose an upgrade from. Or switch to
GNU/Linux, I hear it's quite good.

What kind of customisations do you apply? And are you planning to

The values are set in the LOST authorized value. Can you check

the options too.

Does it work ok in other frameworks?

Next thing you could check is Administration > MARC Frameworks,
default, MARC structure for that subfield. There should be "Auth

Apparently the behaviour got changed and the field is hidden in the

That sounds like your old server is using MARC21 and your new one is
using UNIMARC. They are both correct, but you have to choose on of
them (during installation) and you can't load MARC21 data into a
UNIMARC installation. The field distribution is very different.

as long as you stick to the MARC21 specs, you could also add it to

I don't think I owe anyone anything when it comes to free community
support. But I'd rather not decide what is the best solution for
everyone.

True, there is a second command (add Listen 8080 to ports.conf).

All things Koha require a lot of special knowledge. We could close
the list then and make it autoreply "get paid support" to all questions.


> Why should default not be disabled? Perhaps […]

Perhaps not. Who knows. When someone asks about a Koha installation
on a local IP address, I'd assume a test installation on a dedicated
(virtual) machine, not a production system, unless they tell me
otherwise.

So we close the list? I do not see why we should make any difference
between the Apache setup (magic only a professional can do) and Koha
(much more complex than doing some webserver config). Maybe we
should go as far as labelling free community support dangerous,
because we can never take into account all things that may or may
not be, while suppport companies could get the whole picture before
making recommendations?

A "hack" with a wrong DNS entry is the right solution? Sounds fishy
to me.

I do not assume any other computers needing to access it in this and
many other cases. There must be thousands of local test
installations out there. Many of which lead to getting a support
company once people tested and decided they would actually like to
migrate to Koha.

You can either let people do it in a way that works, or explain the
way you think is better. "Don't do A, but B is too complicated, hire
someone" is not a constructive answer.

Oh, even more reading required for the easiest solution. :P

Because they all run on myDNSname.org? That will be lot of fun once
I spend the 12€ to buy that domain.


> [lots of imagination stuff]

I imagine nothing of that. I see a question that from years of
experience (I'm a support provider, we know a lot of stuff :P) I can
me assume to be about a local installation and I give advice that is
easy to follow. If that leads to a follow-up question, fine. In
dozens of cases it lead to something like "great, it's working now,
thanks a lot, koha is awesome".

Cheers,

Mirko

I don't think there is an equivalent to the OPAC limitation options
in the staff client. You can manually limit searches to a single
branch in advanced search, I assume that is meant here.

If you do not want the libraries to be connected at all, multiple
Koha instances may be a better choice than independent branches.
Have you looked into that?

It looks like the package is not in the oldstable repo for Koha and
not in Squeeze. It is in the Koha stable repo though. You could try
to change your source.list to Koha stable, install only that package
and then change source.list to oldstable to get Koha 3.18.

Maybe there is a more elegant way (besides upgrading to a recent
version of Debian. Squeeze is not supported from 3.20 on I think).

[Koha] Kohacon 2016 location

[Mirko Tietgen]

Hello everyone,

the voting period is over and the preliminary results are in.

Kohacon 2016 will be hosted by Aristotle University of Thessaloniki,
Greece.

Congratulations!

The survey has been completed 1074 times. In some cases, people were
overly enthusiastic and had to vote more than once, which lead to
disqualification. The results are

80,35% Thessaloniki, Greece
08,10% Manila, Philippines

[11,55% invalid]

I'd like to thank the people behind both proposals for offering to
host Kohacon 2016!

See you all in Thessaloniki next May or June,

Mirko

Koha 2.2.8 is more than 8 years old, released 1 May 2007. That is about
700 in software years. Do not use it. There is no support for this
version, and it has little to do with Koha today.

There is no version of Koha for Windows.

There are instructions how to set up Koha on Debian or Ubuntu in the
Koha wiki: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian

You will have to install a GNU/Linux system if you want to install Koha.

Re: [Koha] Error connecting to MySQL

[Mirko Tietgen]

Hi Jonathan,

what version of Koha did you install, what instructions and what
installation method (Debian packages, tarball…) did you use?

If you did a package installation, you will find Koha log files in
/var/log/koha/instancename/ (in your case that would be
/var/log/koha/lib/). You should probably check MySQL log files too.

There is also some system information availabe in the staff client 
»About Koha« that may be worth checking for errors.

Tomas Cohen Arazi schrieb am 01.07.2015

 What is the benefit for people listed? I would say marketing
 and/or some SEO advantage (Liz told me there are counter measures
 applied so it is not used for SEO).

A place to send libraries to that are looking for support. A place
for (at best community-active) support providers to be found without
spending time on marketing. Apparently that does not work for some
parts of the world, where the market appears to be huge but people
contributing are very few in comparison.


[…]
 people are referring to being listed on the site as a way to
 certify their validation as service providers.
 
 I think this hurts the project, because people tend to trust some
 quality degree is assured if companies are listed, which we
 cannot certify; and also makes community members spend a lot of
 time reviewing people's sites, with try/error iterations very
 often [1].

Agreed, this has to stop.


 I propose we replace the current listing with (a) nothing or (b)
 some pie diagram with companies/institutions contributions (git
 log, or what best addresses the need) to the project.

I want to work on Koha, not on advertising campaigns and SEO. I
think marketing is one of the evils of our time. I have been
promoting Koha as an idea and a library system for years before I
started to officially work as a support provider, but I won't print
newspaper ads or buy banners on Facebook (or whatever marketing
people do) to announce my services.

It would be nice if people could find out I am contributing stuff
without learning to understand bugzilla.

My proposal would be to have something similar to the »Patches
pushed for release« thingy on http://dashboard.koha-community.org.
Maybe a longer time span (like, people/ companies that have
contributed over the last year), but no »all time contributers« list
that would bring us lots of one time »contributions« for the sake of
being listed forever.

That would make it easy to see who has been active recently, and
that's all it says. No endorsement. Maybe with an option to list by
country. Maybe with a link to a website, maybe not. Information
specialists like librarians will be able to put a name into a search
engine. If they don't care about community involvement, so be it.

Re: [Koha] Koha Fundraising Committee Draft Terms of Reference

[Mirko Tietgen]

I don't know how to say this without stepping on anyone's toes, but
I think this discussion is taking a problematic direction. I don't
think it is good to tie the general discussion and decision on all
things fundraising to the personal situation of people that may be
funded once all is settled.

I refuse to agree I »have put somebody in a difficult situation«
because I opposed voting on things that were made public on very
short notice before meetings. I was not informed I was discussing
anyone's situation. A situation I knew nothing about.

It seems like behind the scenes it has already been agreed to
1) put money into the fund
2) pay somebody with that money

so I have a simple proposal for the parties involved. Please
consider contracting people directly until the fundraising stuff is
actually up and running and everybody is happy.

Hope that does not anger anyone,

Mirko

PS. Yes, I would like to see Jonathan continue his fine work on
Koha. Just to make that clear.

 How to install Koha in Windows 7 ? 

There is no version for Windows. You will have to install on a
GNU/Linux server.

HTH,

Hi,

 Hello!I have configured Koha on a local machine 

if you want Koha to be accessible from the web, you need to install
it on a server with a public IP address,[1] or forward traffic on
the ports you want to run Koha on from your internet gateway to the
local machine.

 In my opinion we should wait a few days to make sure that anyone
 that has objections can voice them before we place that on the
 koha-community.org website.  Please comment here or even on the
 bug.

I could not find a bug yet, but I would prefer a text link or a
self-hosted button over integrating elements from Paypal's servers
into the Koha website.

The link seems to work without loading elements from Paypal:
