09:30 Dyrcona So, updated to Firefox 75 with the DNS over HTTPS nonsense, and it can't resolve Wikipedia domains. Anyone else experiencing this? (Yes, this is off topic, but that's never stopped anyone before.)
09:33 Dyrcona Tried NextDNS instead of Cloudflare, same problem. Disabled DNS over HTTPS and it's working again.
09:35 bshum Dyrcona: Mine seemed fine, but I had to enable DNS over HTTPS in the config (it didn't ship with it on)
09:37 Dyrcona I wonder if DNSMasq is somehow involved in my problem, but Wikipedia is the only site where I've noticed that problem.
09:38 Dyrcona It updated earlier this week. I've had updates at least twice, so I don't remember what day Firefox updated.
09:40 Dyrcona Not sure I can blame systemd-resolved.... :)
09:42 Dyrcona Been a fun week for me and DNS....
09:42 bshum I was about to say maybe it's a Linux vs. Mac thing
09:43 bshum And maybe my Mac isn't even using the feature correctly
09:44 Dyrcona Could be a Linux thing, but it's odd that it's just 1 site, en.wikipeida.org. I'm inclined to think that it's just a "me" thing. :)
09:44 Dyrcona Well, I typoed wikipedia above, but you get the idea....

10:03 csharp using a modified version of what we used back then to do it again today :-)
10:03 * csharp waves at bshum
10:03 Dyrcona csharp: Cool.
10:17 * bshum waves back at csharp
10:19 Dyrcona The Chromium snap continues to behave oddly after it updates while Chromium is running. Not only does it lose its relationship to the Launcher, it loses icons in dialogs....

10:40 Dyrcona @decide remove python or remove python
10:40 pinesol Dyrcona: go with remove python
10:41 bshum dbwells: Might need some input on https://bugs.launchpad.net/opensrf/+bug/1827055 again
10:41 pinesol Launchpad bug 1827055 in OpenSRF "Python binding for OpenSRF and Evergreen" [Undecided,New]
10:41 bshum With Ubuntu 20.04 there's packages missing for Python, looks like they actively removed much of Python2 and related packages
10:42 bshum I have to research that further too, but maybe I'll need to exclude to proceed with other parts of the install testing first
10:42 bshum Course 20.04 isn't done yet (they're still in beta)
10:44 Dyrcona We should just drop the Python at this point. AFAIK no one uses it, except Syrup, and Syrup is dead, too. If you're still using it, shame on you. :)
10:45 Dyrcona If you use Python then step up and fix it by next week.
10:45 Dyrcona And, yes, I mean next week.
10:46 dbwells We have a branch of Syrup functional on Python 3.  I will update the bug.
10:49 Dyrcona dbwells++
10:52 bshum dbwells++ #exciting :)
10:54 * dbwells waves, hasn't even looked at IRC in weeks
10:54 dbwells Glad to see everyone still here :)
10:55 dbwells bshum: Don't get too excited, still a chunk of work to do.  But, progress.
10:55 bshum dbwells: Yeah kind of what started nagging me next in the back of my brain
10:55 bshum Testing 20.04 support, testing Python3, testing new Perl, new PG version
10:56 bshum Lots of stuff to break this year :D
10:59 Dyrcona Looking at the Python 3 packages on Focal Fossa, there will be a lot of work to do to maintain the Python support in OpenSRF and Evergreen. We're likely going to have to switch XMPP libraries.
10:59 Dyrcona I still vote we chuck it.
11:00 bshum Or deprecate it and then reimplement as a new feature?
11:00 bshum *remove it
11:01 Dyrcona We should also really start using SASL with ejabberd.
11:01 Dyrcona Too much to do, so little time.
11:01 Dyrcona :)
11:01 bshum Yeah I hadn't gotten to that problem yet, but assume it's annoying bad or worse off in Focal
11:05 Dyrcona 2020: Year of the rewrite!
11:15 rfrasur We gonna adopt that as the official title, Dyrcona?  Seems like it COULD work.
11:15 Dyrcona :)
11:21 rfrasur And it has significantly fewer obscenities than my suggestions.
11:21 Dyrcona :)
11:36 sandbergja joined #evergreen
11:54 dbwells As I noted on the Python/Syrup bug, there is a possible middle ground of supporting Python as just consumer/client of OpenSRF instead of a full library.  In particular, a consumer of gateway/translator messages and objects, which I think is all Syrup really needs.

12:27 scpl_shardina I have a z39.50 source that is confirmed to work in http://www.loc.gov/z3950/test.html set up, but it has no search fields in Cataloging > Import Record from Z39.50. Where would I go about setting that up? I'm not having any luck in the documentation.
12:33 phasefx scpl_shardina: I don't think you should need to set anything up; sounds like some uncaught error?  Anything in the browser dev console?  Or an [ERR in osrfsys.log?
12:37 phasefx scpl_shardina: also curious if the Raw Search button works
12:37 scpl_shardina Nothing showing on either, other than warnings about my self signed testing SSL in the browser. The LOC and OCLC sources have search fields show up, just none that I add.
12:38 scpl_shardina Raw search button does work on the added sources
12:40 phasefx scpl_shardina: okay, same thing happens to me if I just copy the fields for loc into a test source.  hrmm
12:42 phasefx scpl_shardina: okay, we need to populate config.z3950_attr; I don't know if there is a UI for it
12:44 phasefx scpl_shardina: I did the following for my test source and it worked: insert into config.z3950_attr (source,name,label,code,format,truncation) select 'test', name, label, code, format, truncation from config.z3950_attr where source = 'loc';
12:47 mmorgan Looks like you can still get to the pre-angular interface for configuring z39.50 which links to the attributes using https://<hostname>/eg/staff/ad​min/server/config/z3950_source
12:47 phasefx mmorgan++ I was just looking at the "conify" interfaces
12:49 scpl_shardina Alright, that worked!
12:50 mmorgan bug 1834687
12:50 pinesol Launchpad bug 1834687 in Evergreen 3.3 "Z39.50 Servers Attributes page missing" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1834687
12:51 scpl_shardina Thanks for your help!
13:04 Bmagic jeffdavis: if that's the mechanism that we are employing, then the "shared" values within PL/Perl are shared per session? Which means, they would freshen up with each new drone? Seems like that would have taken place by now.
13:16 khuckins joined #evergreen
13:29 Dyrcona Bmagic: What version of Evergreen?
13:32 Dyrcona Never mind. Those interfaces are Dojo, so it doesn't really matter.
13:36 csharp @eightball did dojo ever really matter?
13:36 pinesol csharp: In your dreams.
13:36 gmcharlt pinesol: I think you misspelled nightmare
13:36 pinesol gmcharlt: Sorry, that command is only available to Evergreen Premium™ Subscribers. Please upgrade your subscription ASAP!
13:38 csharp oh wow - 80s flashback - just remembered that Dokken's In My Dreams was a real song by a real band
13:39 Dyrcona :)

13:40 bshum @who sells Evergreen Premium™ subscriptions.
13:40 pinesol berick sells Evergreen Premium™ subscriptions.
13:41 Dyrcona @who sells seashells by the seashore
13:41 pinesol mnsri sells seashells by the seashore.
13:41 csharp @blame berick for hoarding Evergreen Premium™ subscriptions during this time of crisis
13:41 pinesol csharp: It really IS berick's fault! for hoarding Evergreen Premium™ subscriptions during this time of crisis
13:42 Dyrcona Two things (neither good) come to mind from this "conversation."
13:42 Dyrcona 1. John Prine succumbed to COVID-19 earlier this week.
13:42 csharp :-(
13:43 Dyrcona 2. Qt is getting even more locked up by the commercial interests of the Qt Company.
13:44 Dyrcona The gloomy, cold rain outside the windows doesn't help.
13:45 mantis1 joined #evergreen
14:08 Bmagic Dyrcona: 3.4
14:12 Dyrcona Bmagic: I always update crad and all of that in the database. What are you trying to do?

15:07 mmorgan @weather 01945
15:08 pinesol mmorgan: Error: Failed to load Wunderground API. Check the logs for more information.
15:08 mmorgan Apparently pinesol doesn't want to look out the window right now either.
15:08 rfrasur It's gross and cold.
15:10 Dyrcona Yeahp.
15:13 rfrasur There's a actor.org_unit.mailing_address column.  Is there also a actor.org_unit.physical_address?
15:13 rfrasur column?
15:14 Dyrcona \d actor.org_unit
15:15 mmorgan mailing_address, billing_address, holds_address, ill_address
15:16 Dyrcona billing_adress is usually treated as the physical address, IIRC.
15:16 * mmorgan nods
15:16 Dyrcona meh... fingers--
15:17 Dyrcona Even though the conference is canceled are we going to reset karma, like we usually do?
15:17 mmorgan @karma fingers
15:17 pinesol mmorgan: Karma for "fingers" has been increased 0 times and decreased 1 time for a total karma of -1.
15:18 mmorgan Thunder!
15:19 Dyrcona I can't hear the thunder over John Bonham's drumming in my ears.... (Listening to Led Zeppelin most of the day.)
15:24 rfrasur Dyrcona++ mmorgan++
15:31 mantis1 left #evergreen
16:10 mmorgan So here's a random web client question. I click on a menu option, 'Search', for example, then right-click on 'Search for items by barcode' and choose to open it in a new tab from the right-click menu.
16:10 mmorgan When I do that, the Search menu stays open in my original tab and I have to click on it again to close it.
16:12 mmorgan Would that be something that's easily fixable?
16:12 * mmorgan is wondering if it's bugworthy, that is, if it bothers anyone else but me
16:13 Dyrcona It's possibly fixable. Questions is, is it worth it?
16:15 phasefx as an experiment, I added a widget that cloned the current interface into a new tab.  Not quite the same thing, but an alternate way to get there
16:16 * phasefx does think we should support web-conventions where we can, though
16:17 * mmorgan also supports eliminating extra clicks.
16:19 * mmorgan doesn't know if folks commonly do the open link in new tab thing, though. Might be just me.
16:19 phasefx power user :)
16:19 phasefx my parents don't quite understand tabs and windows
16:19 mmorgan :)
16:20 * phasefx also thinks we should support power users :D
16:20 mmorgan You mean the things on top of soda cans and the things you open to get fresh air?;-)
16:20 phasefx :P
16:21 * mmorgan will open a bug and see where it goes
16:29 rfrasur mmorgan, I'm an "open link in new tab" person, and yeah...it bothers me too.
16:30 rfrasur link the bug.  and I'll add a little heat to it.
16:30 mmorgan rfrasur: power user ;-)
16:31 mmorgan OK!
16:31 rfrasur lol, no.  maybe?  I have no idea.  what day is it?
16:42 mmorgan rfrasur: bug 1871921
16:42 pinesol Launchpad bug 1871921 in Evergreen "Using Right-click Options on Web Client Menu Items Should Close Menu" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1871921

17:02 jweston +mmorgan rfrasur I do not normally post here but I'm loving this right-click-open-new-tab-close-menu lp bug; I've been involved in many training sessions that stress the importance of opening new windows and this has been bother.  Thanks for this!
17:04 jweston mmorgan ^ (meant to be a +1)
17:05 rfrasur jweston++ # of course.  If you wanna add that it affects you and/or comment in LP, it'll bump up the heat some.
17:05 mmorgan jweston++
17:07 jweston rfrasur: commented and heat added
17:07 rfrasur jweston++ # rockstar
17:08 rfrasur okay, all.  See ya on the flipside.  Or...on Monday.

17:33 Stompro Hello, if I'm changing group penalty threshold values, how do I trigger the existing penalties to get re-evaluated?  Such as raising the PATRON_EXCEEDS_FINES trigger amount?
18:01 phasefx Stompro: I tend to write a srfsh script via a sql query for that
18:02 phasefx something along the lines of select distinct 'request open-ils.actor open-ils.actor.user.penalties.update SES ' || id from actor.usr where foo;
18:02 phasefx then get an auth token and sed the SES
18:03 phasefx not for that specific use case, but in the context of migrations

20:15 Stompro phasefx, thanks, I'll give that a try.
