09:27 rjackson-isl :q
09:28 jeff rjackson-isl: how's your connectivity today vs yesterday?
09:28 rjackson-isl great = I just can't seem to get in the right window for my uniz commands!
09:29 rjackson-isl unix
09:30 rjackson-isl we were back up and running at about 2 PM

11:56 rfrasur I wish I could download how-to manuals to my brain and skip the eye/reading interface.
11:57 jboyer-isl Woah, do you know kung-fu?
11:58 rfrasur jboyer-isl++
11:58 jboyer-isl Did you get your offline trouble taken care of?
11:59 rfrasur well, I got all the stuff uploaded and processed, but haven't figured out why the upload button is inactive when trying to upload multiple workstation stuff to one session
12:02 rfrasur we only have three workstations to upload from though...so it's not a big deal for us...and probably just something I've doing wrong.
12:02 rfrasur We also have two workstations that were registered identically...and I'm wondering if that isn't part of the problem.
12:08 dbs rfrasur: hmm, I haven't dealt with two workstations that have been registered identically before. Could be that there's a one workstation :: one upload per session rule, yeah.
12:09 dbs I'm curious what you mean by "all uploaded and processed", if you're still trying to upload to a session.
12:10 rfrasur dbs: probably about the 1 ws/1 session.  Oh, I just made multiple sessions...one for each workstation.
12:10 dbs Our process is: 1. Create a session. 2. Upload from each workstation to that session so that the transaction will all be processed in timestamp order. 3. Process session.
12:10 rfrasur Right, and that's what I was trying to do.  I created the session and then went to one of the workstations and was going to upload to it...but the upload button was inactive.
12:11 dbs Is it possible that there were no offline transactions on that workstation?
12:12 rfrasur No, there were.  It was the main workstation.  When I created a new session at it, it all worked like clockwork (that's not broken)
12:12 dbs Huh. And the session you were trying to upload to had not been processed already?
12:12 rfrasur nope
12:13 * dbs is puzzled
12:14 rfrasur I think when we upgrade, I'll clean up the workstation registrations...and see if that doesn't help.
12:14 * rfrasur is not bothered today.  I know it's lazy.
12:14 * rfrasur is mildly ashamed.
12:21 rfrasur It's running!!
12:24 * rfrasur just needs to find an ethernet connection somewhere in this ridiculous building.
12:28 jboyer-isl Didn't really mean to ask a Q and then disappear, but I've been looking at little at how offline works. Haven't seen anything that's certain yet about multiple uploads from a matching WS name.
12:28 rfrasur no worries.  I'm fussing around with the pi anyway.
12:28 jboyer-isl ooh, how's that going?
12:29 rfrasur It's running :D, just hooked up an ethernet cable in the other room.  Will see what it is.  Next will be to get a USB hub and go wireless...but not today.
12:30 jboyer-isl For that $ I've thought about just grabbing one to play with, but I'm afraid it would end up on the pile of all the other things I felt similarly about. :/ (Anyone remember iButtons?)
12:33 jboyer-isl Oh, I found the answer to the matching workstation question. offline.pl does a check for an existing workstation name in an exiting session and fails with "OFFLINE_SESSION_FILE_EXISTS" if one already exists.
12:33 jboyer-isl So yes, having 2 machines with matching workstation names will prevent you from loading all of their transactions into the same session.
12:34 jboyer-isl And now, we feast.
12:35 ericar joined #evergreen
12:35 rfrasur lol, thank you for finding out about the workstation name.  I'll fix that today then.  Also...the whole Raspberry Pi thing works.  :D
12:40 dbs rfrasur++ # I was a little concerned the browser would feel sluggish--it does for me--but that might depend on the display resolution
12:41 dbs I might be asking a bit much hooking my Pi up to a 1080p display and a traditional Linux desktop
12:41 yboston joined #evergreen
12:42 jboyer-isl dbs: depends on how "traditional" :) perhaps one of the elder statesmen of window managers could handle it, but I doubt it could manage gnome or kde at that resolution.
12:44 dbs jboyer-isl: it's LXDE for Raspbian, which is light-to-middle-weight
12:45 * dbs runs his Pi headless now; it serves quite nicely as a Google Chrome Print server thanks to chromium
12:45 dbs s/Chrome/Cloud/
12:46 aman91 joined #evergreen
12:54 rfrasur dbs: I'm definitely not there yet.  I need to figure out how to live in the Linux environment first.
14:03 rfrasur dbs: I was distracted...sorry.  The browser is a little sluggish.  I haven't messed with the resolution or anything yet.  I'm pretty sure it could probably be optimized...but enough was enough for today.
