12:41 * pinesol_green (someone [<channel>]) -- Returns a random nick from <channel>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.
12:41 csharp thought that would happen
12:42 * tsbere wonders why csharp is running things backwards ;)
12:42 csharp just that kinda day, I guess :-)
12:44 ericar joined #evergreen
12:46 * dbs peers at an authorities issue in master where applying the full authority for "François" results in "Franc,ois" in the bib record :/
12:46 yboston ouch
12:47 dbs might be dirty data on our side, I haven't checked to see if the authority record was MARC8 encoded or something like that (although it displays cleanly...)

14:00 kmlussier csharp: I noticed you set bug 1413352 to high. If you would like, I could load berick's patch on a Sandbox so that one of your acq people could test it and sign off on it.
14:00 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1413352 in Evergreen 2.9 "New Brief Record estimated price does not populate" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1413352
14:20 csharp kmlussier: just did it - I was making the 2.9 branch consistent with the original report ;-)
14:20 csharp I see that the fix is working
14:21 kmlussier csharp: Ah, I see. Makes sense.
14:21 csharp kmlussier: thanks for the offer of help, though :-)
14:23 Dyrcona It there a good reason not to mount all of /openils/var via NFS in a brick setup? From my research it appears some site do mount all of /openils/var and some mount only selected subdirectories.
14:24 berick Dyrcona: beware pid files in /openils/var/run/
14:29 Dyrcona berick: Thanks. Those are and will continue to go to /var/run/evergreen.
14:30 berick cool
14:32 Dyrcona I'm asking because C/W MARS currently mounts only a couple of the directories from NFS, and I'm considering mounting them all in a new setup to make managing overrides a little simpler.
14:33 Dyrcona We're planning to upgrade the current server hardware.
14:34 tsbere Dyrcona: Beware NFS-related slowdowns in Apache loading templates.
14:34 Dyrcona tsbere: Good point.
14:35 Dyrcona Maybe that's not such a good idea after all.
14:37 mmorgan Any ideas on this client error? "Error loading preferences: Could not js-ify the JSON: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected end of data"
14:37 mmorgan The workstation shut down due to a power failure, and now the user gets this error when they attempt to "Add Volumes"
14:38 mmorgan I suspected a corrupted prefs.js file, but moving it out of the way didn't solve the problem.
14:38 Dyrcona mmorgan: I was going to suggest copying prefs.js from a known, working installation.
14:38 Dyrcona Could be another the js files that's corrupted.
14:40 Dyrcona Off the top of my head, I don't recall what is needed by the Add Volumes interface.
14:42 mmorgan We were looking under "Roaming" should we try under "Local" as well?
14:43 Dyrcona Yes, I would.
14:43 bshum Are you sure it isn't something else?  Like maybe a bad copy template or something

14:43 dbs That is a field that Evergreen 2.7 really doesn't like.
14:44 mmorgan bshum: It's only happening on one workstation. If the user logs into a different workstation there's no error.
14:44 tsbere mmorgan: That error should be "opening up a file of some kind" - I expect it to be something in content/conf, though whether or not that is stored in the install dir or profile dir depends on other things
14:44 Dyrcona dbs: Probably this: Identité́́. That last character is some kind of messed up.
14:45 Dyrcona It has two accents.
14:46 JBoyer mmorgan, I'd look at the files in the local profile under the chrome dir. (most have no extension) If you getting that before you can even login it's likely ws_info or last_ws_server
14:46 dbs Dyrcona: good eyes! period accent acute, defintely not normal
14:47 Dyrcona dbs: Well for me, it looks like the e has two, but it may be over the period.
14:47 Dyrcona You can do things with Unicode combining characters that don't make sense. ;)
14:48 JBoyer Unicode art > ASCII art
14:48 Dyrcona Indeed!
14:48 dbs Yep, that fixed it right up
14:48 dbs Dyrcona++
14:48 Dyrcona Ah, 'tweren't nothin....
14:50 mmorgan JBoyer: Logging in is fine, just Add Volumes causes the error.
14:50 mmorgan The client was reinstalled, though not uninstalled first. Might need to just start from scratch.
14:52 Dyrcona You could try wiping out the openils folder(s) from the profile(s) and launching the client. That would be like starting fresh if preferences are not stored in the application directory.
14:52 Dyrcona There are options when you build the client about where to store the preferences.
14:53 JBoyer I'm trying to get the specific name real quick so there's less back and forth. :)
14:53 Dyrcona :)
14:53 * Dyrcona is trying to do two other things simultaneously. :)
14:53 mmorgan preferences aren't stored in the application directory for this installation, so we may just do that.
14:54 mmorgan Dyrcona: Just two?;-)
14:54 Dyrcona Well, only one, now. :)
14:54 Dyrcona I finished scheduling a load of Backstage files for Saturday evening.
14:55 mmorgan Thanks for the suggestions. We'll poke around some more.
14:56 JBoyer mmorgan, volume_copy_creator.prefs in the local profile chrome dir most likely. Move it out of the way and see what happens.
14:56 JBoyer All is saves is the state of 2 check boxes, so no one will miss it.
14:57 mmorgan JBoyer: Ah! ok, good suggestion, we'll give that a try.
14:58 dbs I think the staff client build options are still only documented in the wiki?
14:59 * dbs still relies on http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id​=mozilla-devel:building_the_staff_client fwiw
15:01 * Dyrcona thinks dbs is correct.
15:02 JBoyer It's all I've found, though it's been a bit since I've looked.
15:03 mmorgan1 joined #evergreen
15:07 Bmagic I want to put a working branch in the repo that puts the screen message "OK" back into Patron.pm - Do you think I need to setup a Launchpad bug and commit to the working repo with that label?
15:09 JBoyer Bmagic, if you want to see it merged sometime explaining why in the bug would be a good place to start, then you may as well put it in the branch name.
15:09 Bmagic JBoyer: it was removed sometime back, and for our own reasons, we need it in there. I always resort to editing the file everytime, but it would be nice if I could cherry pick it
15:10 Bmagic I was thinking that we may not be the only orgainzation that needs that...
15:10 Bmagic It's not really a bug, it's a feature. A feature that we want reversed.
15:11 JBoyer Ah, then yeah, if you just want a place to stick that one commit, I wouldn't fret over LP. Just throw it up there and you're good. You could probably also keep running rebase -i origin/master against that branch so it's always "current"
15:12 Dyrcona Might not be a bad idea to add an option for the config file and make it a real branch that could get merged with a Lp bug.
15:12 Dyrcona I know there was some controversy when it was removed because some clients expect it to be there.
15:12 JBoyer Could go in the institutional section, I suppose.
15:13 Dyrcona But, yeah, we don't have a policy on what you can do with working. I know there are many "failed" or experimental branches there.
15:15 Dyrcona Or it could be made an account option. That's possible, but Institution would be fine.
15:18 * Dyrcona waits around for a minute or two to see if cron trick is going to work.
15:19 Dyrcona And, it does.

15:41 * tsbere reads back a bit and wonders what clients *need* the ok message, given that it seemed to screw up all the selfchecks he interacted with while it was there
15:45 Dyrcona I just recall someone raising concerns and Bmagic apparently has clients that need it, now.
16:11 dbs Some days I wish there was a way to tell Evergreen "Yes I know this z39.50 source has screwed up their LDR[09], it's UTF8 even though they say it's MARC8"
16:15 mmorgan2 JBoyer++
16:16 mmorgan2 The culprit was actually copy_editor_prefs but close enough :)
16:16 mmorgan2 The file had a timestamp of when the power went out.
16:24 tsbere dbs: Too bad you can't just put a filter in the middle to change that one character.
16:31 Dyrcona JBoyer: still around?
16:34 Dyrcona I can probably answer my question for JBoyer by reading a little, so no biggie.
