Re: [Koha] Installing Koha on LInux Mint VERSION="18.1 (Serena)

I did not "down-grade" but rather installed MariaDB. The final database size of table creation and population was: The default timeout was not long enough so I kept getting timeouts during the table creation. I experimented with different values and finally used 6000 to see what will happen. That's when the table creation finally completed, and population also went to success as well. I am running on a Dell desktop with i7 processor and 16GB of RAM. During the install, I had Firefox as the only UI running. First few times I was running top to see what was happening but during the success runs, I stopped running so missed out on the swap business. Load average was higher than normal. cheers, --Daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 16:30:29 -0500 From: Paul A To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] Installing Koha on LInux Mint VERSION="18.1 (Serena)" Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed On 2017-02-27 06:19 AM, Daniel F.

How big is your database, and how much memory was available? An hour and three quarters seems inordinately long, although a lack of multi-core threading might be a cause. Did this spill over into swap? Ref. point for us is that any MySql op that lasts for more than a couple of seconds (with 16 Gigs RAM on reasonably fast 8-core systems) is suspect as being badly coded. Mint, per se, shouldn't be a stumbling point -- it's only a desktop, and should have minimal impact on the underlying Debian/Ubuntu system.

Can you help us? 2-Is your platform capable of using multiple languages especially Bulgarian, Cyrillic? 3-Is there any limit of how many of our employees can use your platform simultaneously?

Exporting batchs in card creator
by Tony Morton 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

Hi there, I am trying to export a classroom "batch", however when I go to export it, it will not provide me with a document to print. I have deleted this and started all over again, and its still the same problem. I have had no troubles with the other 3 classes "batches". Is this common, or am I doing something wrong? I'm going under tools, patron card creator, manage batches - then I choose batch I want to export. Please advise.

Best Koha Implementation Award - 2017 (Koha Conclave)
by Amit Gupta 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

Hi All, The 2nd National Koha Conclave concluded last week at TCS, Pune with the announcement of the Best Koha Implementation Award 2017. There were 11 libraries in India who sent their nominations which were reviewed by a Jury of 4 people including Mr. Chris Cormack who was the Chief Resource Person at the Conclave. After a very diligent review by the Jury, the Best Koha Implementation Award was announced jointly to the Vikram Sarabhai Library , Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad and Mysore University Library, Mysore. The award trophy was presented by Mr. Chris Cormack and Mr. N V Sathyanarayana to the representatives of the IIM Ahmedabad library at the conclave on the last day of the event. Since no representative from Mysore University Library was present, the trophy will be presented to the University Library during a separate function in the next couple of weeks. Informatics and the Koha community congratulates both the IIM Ahmedabad Library and Mysore University Library for implementing Koha in the most innovative ways leading to its best utilization for the Library and its users. We look forward to more nominations for the 2018 Best Koha Implementation Award. -- Regards, Amit Gupta Informatics Publishing Ltd.,

Replace Module for C4::Branch
by Admire Mutsikiwa 24 Feb '17

24 Feb '17

Hi Hope I find you well. I have added some local module on my Koha instance for easy printing of barcodes, spine labels and date slips. My added modules where relying on C4::Branch module. However, according to https://github.com/bywatersolutions/koha-plugin-kitchen-sink/issues/1, it has been obsoleted. I would like to know how to get the branchcode now with the new implementation?
