09:56 bshum @later tell Dyrcona Well Bionic Beaver should be fun. PG10 is packaged by default.
09:56 pinesol_green bshum: The operation succeeded.

09:56 pinesol_green gmcharlt: Quote #19: "_bott_: I wish I'd get what I wanted instead of what I asked for" (added by Dyrcona at 11:02 AM, November 15, 2011)
10:00 bshum Sounds about right to me.

10:26 bshum netplan? come on... https://websiteforstudents.com/configure-​static-ip-addresses-on-ubuntu-18-04-beta/
10:27 bshum Everything I know about linux networking, I guess I'll have to throw out the window with 18.04 :(
10:34 JBoyer Windows: Heavy preference on UI, odd config file formats. MacOS: handy UI or very capable and opaque CLI, you don't get to touch the files. Admins: "At least there's nothing that combines the worst of both." Linux: "sudo hold my beer."
10:34 JBoyer renderer: demotivator.com
10:38 csharp :-)

11:35 bshum Hmm, I think ejabberd in 18.04 is requiring TLS as part of the authentication mechanism now.  And that's prevening opensrf from talking to it, since it's trying to do a plain auth connection.
11:37 bshum Still poking at logs and config to see where's what
11:38 dbwells bshum: Is that different than the OpenSRF Xenial instructions for ejabberd, "Change auth_password_format to plain" ?
11:38 bshum dbwells: Yeah, there's more stuff within the protocol listener definition now
11:38 bshum Stuff like starttls required: true
11:39 bshum I'm comparing the ejabberd.yml config from xenial to bionic for differences to see if I can learn more
11:39 bshum used to be like starttls: optional
11:40 dbwells Sounds good, thanks for forging ahead.
11:40 bshum It's still pretty early, 18.04 is only alpha2, beta next month sometime
11:40 bshum But Dyrcona and I talked about looking at it more soon anyways.

12:11 hbain Hello! I'm running into a 500 Internal Server Error with my instance of Evergreen. This installation has been working for several months with minimal problems and to my knowledge nothing changed server-side between the last time I accessed the database and now. Do people have advice on how I can diagnose and fix this problem?
12:11 hbain (I attempted a server restart already but it doesn't seem to have helped)
12:19 jihpringle joined #evergreen
12:22 csharp hbain: errors like that should appear in either the apache (by default, /var/log/apache2/error.log) or opensrf logs (by default, /openils/var/log/osrfsys.log)
13:11 * csharp idly wonders what it would take for a firefox hatch extension
13:13 csharp https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/We​bExtensions/Porting_a_Google_Chrome_extension looks interesting
13:22 JBoyer csharp, it requires telepathy so far as I can tell. I modified hatch to do all the things and still FF says to me "Hmm, I don't know anything about any extension by that name, nope, nope, nope..."
13:22 JBoyer I kind of wonder if there's some path issue or something but from what I can tell they just wholesale imported a couple c++ files from Chrome so I would hope that's not it...
13:22 csharp JBoyer: interesting.
13:23 JBoyer It's been a while since I looked though, it may be time to try again.
13:23 csharp I just created the .zip file for Hatch, but with a .crx file extension and uploaded it to https://www.extensiontest.com/ - it didn't error out, but never returned a result either
13:24 JBoyer Yeah, I'm vastly overstating the logging responses you'll get with that 1 line. (I downloaded the dev edition so you can just load it straight off the filesystem and it just won't do anything)
13:25 csharp ok
13:26 JBoyer Another fun difference, errors aren't reported the same way between the two; you've got to look at 2-3 different objects to find out why the socket is actually closing. :/
13:26 * JBoyer should have made more notes.
13:26 csharp sounds like a good project for hackfest-ish times at the conference
13:27 csharp for the first time, like, ever,  I'm able to fully participate in the hackfest on the pre-conf day
13:29 JBoyer csharp++
13:29 JBoyer Sounds like a plan to me.
13:38 csharp ugh - add-on was blocking the extension-checker page
13:38 csharp but it looks like my .crx is not in the correct format
13:38 csharp anyway, moving on for now ;-)
14:32 csharp I remember discussion/a bug about metabib.full_rec and friends not being deleted when a biblio.record_entry row is deleted - does that ring a bell for anyone?
14:45 JBoyer csharp, I was part of that. If memory serves it resulted in neither a bug nor branch. :/
14:45 JBoyer (As in, I had intended to do one or both but haven't)
14:46 JBoyer I wanted to jettison everything related to searching from metabib to save tons of space and potentially speed up searching.
14:48 JBoyer (If the setting that governs searching for deleted items permits, obviously)
15:19 csharp JBoyer: that's what I was remembering - I was associating it with you somehow ;-)
15:44 Bmagic marc2bre.pl generates a wall of errors on xenial. Just wondered if it was just me
15:44 Bmagic "Use of uninitialized value $tag in hash element at /usr/share/perl5/MARC/Record.pm line 202."
15:49 csharp @band add Nuclear Football
15:49 pinesol_green csharp: Band 'Nuclear Football' added to list
15:49 csharp Bmagic: I've not used that script, but I'm willing to test - what's a good use case/test case for it?
15:51 Bmagic csharp: couple of steps. Create a text file that contains your "used_tcns" with psql -U dbuser -h dbhost -d database -c "select tcn_value from biblio.record_entry where not deleted" | perl -npe 's/^\s+//;' | sed '1,2d' > used_tcns
15:51 Bmagic get yourself some MARC records in XML format
15:52 Bmagic marc2bre.pl --idfield 903 --idsubfield a --startid=1 --marctype=XML -f yourmarc.xml --used_tcn_file=used_tcns > final.bre
16:17 csharp Bmagic: I can confirm the error on my xenial test server using concerto data
16:17 Bmagic csharp++
16:18 Bmagic it's probably fixed in 18.04 :) LOL
16:19 Bmagic I think the error is perl > 5.20
16:20 Bmagic or rather 5.14.2 (shipped with 12.04)
