Comment: Koha Community Code of Conduct
by glaws 29 Sep '14

29 Sep '14

I have some concerns about the Koha Community Code of Conduct posted here: http://koha-community.org/about/policy/code-of-conduct/ <http://koha-community.org/about/policy/code-of-conduct/> My specific concern is the second bullet point: Harassment includes, but is not limited to: * ---snip--- * Verbal, graphic or written comments related to gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race or religion which seems overly broad. Examples If, during a conference breaking for lunch, I say to a group of attendees "I'm Buddhist, is there a vegetarian restaurant near here?", I would seem to have violated this point (verbal...comment...religion). Or if I'm a presenter, and I make a comment for illustrative purposes, like "Just as people come in all sizes, libraries also vary in size and Koha is great for all of them", have I violated the code? Or if I'm with a group of attendees planning on going out somewhere, and I say "I have <insert any health problem>, and I can't walk with you that far", is that a violation? I would like to suggest that the wording for this particular point include something to the effect that the references must be obviously negative in nature or perhaps intended to give offense to to an average person _based_on_some_reasonable_standard_. -- Greg Lawson

My laptop is hot to the touch, should I be worried? What Can I Do About It?

1. *Check (and Clean) Your Fans* <http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Yz1Z6DDJSoA/VCkxygi4uMI/AAAAAAAAAJU/Kyq4foepXW0/s…> Make sure the air vents aren't blocked. And the fan is working properly. A blast of compressed air once in a while helps blow out the dust bunnies. A fan cooler under the laptop could help too to prevent from high temperature.

No patron categories defined
by Margo Duncan 28 Sep '14

28 Sep '14

When creating new patrons we have just stared receiving the error "There are no patron categories defined. Please add a patron category." (which links to /admin/categorie.pl). We have 17 patron categories defined (and have been adding patrons for years). Any suggestions on where to start troubleshooting are welcome! We're running 3.14.09 on Debian.

Patron Card Images pixelated in PDF
by Prof. Lisandro Laura 27 Sep '14

27 Sep '14

Hi everyone! I am new with Koha and I have been trying to print decent Patron Cards but the result is not filling out my expectations. Patron images and library logo are pixelated despite size, DPI and format (jpg png). Patron images on screen are good looking quality, but pixelated when processing batch in the resulting PDF. I have been googling around with no luck. I am running Koha 3.16 over Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (updated the system a few days ago with apt-get). The version of Koha is: 3.16.03.000 Ubuntu is 12.04 LTS Server (i386). About the images, we use several... last attempt was png 200x300px, 300dpi. We also try 1600x2192px 300dpi with no results. Is there some fix resolution for images that works? Any ideas? Thank you in advance, Lisandro

[Security advisory] For 'dev' installs (CVE-2014-6271)
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 27 Sep '14

27 Sep '14

A couple emails have been sent to the list on this regard (thanks Robin, Chris and Steven). It is important that you know that most Koha deployments are not exposed to this vulnerability (CVE-2014-6271 <http://www.csoonline.com/article/2687265/application-security/remote-exploi…>). ONLY 'dev' installs are vulnerable. In order to avoid this vulnerability, 'dev' installs should add the following to their Apache virtualhost definitions: RedirectMatch 403 \.sh$ If you don't know *where* to put this, mine looked like this (and yours should too): #### Options +FollowSymLinks # If you are overriding any system preferences, # list them in this variable so the preference editor # knows that they have been overridden. # SetEnv OVERRIDE_SYSPREF_NAMES "Pref1,Pref2,Pref3" RedirectMatch 403 \.sh$ ErrorDocument 400 /cgi-bin/koha/errors/400.pl ### Please contact any of us in private (I prefer IRC) if you have more doubts specific to your setup. ==== To sumarize: - Know that Koha is not vulnerable to this bug on most of its deployment forms: * Packages: SAFE * Source install (tar.gz/git/gitify): - standard: SAFE - single: SAFE - dev: UNSAFE - Make sure your operating system has the latest bash update installed. Just keep it updated, frecquently. - There's a solution for 'dev' installs, the one above (add the "RedirectMatch 403 \.sh$" line to your vhosts definition).
