[02:05] Hello there, MadameTock [02:07] Well hello, tenach. === steelsteve is now known as Steelsteve_ADR [04:05] Is somebody using a Wiki around here? dokuwiki or moinmoin? Need advice [04:38] new question can you explain the function of the charactere ` ex. in php scripts [04:45] nomnex: moinmoin is whar the Ubuntu wiki uses... it's easy to write on it. [04:45] the other question i don't know [04:46] PabloRubianes, yes, moinmoin looks good on screen, do you or have you hosted you own wiki? [04:47] nomnex, no, I just write on the Ubuntu one, never hosted a wiki before... [04:47] don't know which is easier to host [04:48] PabloRubianes, thanks, any idea of the ` character in PHP or other scripting languages? [04:48] nomnex, what you need to do with a stress? [04:50] PabloRubianes, so it's called a "stress" now I can seach for explanations thanks [04:51] nomnex, in common languaje that's a stress... spanish use it example "Día" [04:52] i am not sure or having saw that kind of stress on PHP but i am just a beginner on script programming [04:53] PabloRubianes, when use to illustrate an explanation, do you have any idea of the use of the stress char? see example http://pastebin.com/hjYrzQPd [04:54] paultag, ping [04:55] hey PabloRubianes [04:56] hey paultag nomnex is having some problems with PHP I think you could help him better than I can ;-) [04:56] sure PabloRubianes [04:56] nomnex, what's up [04:56] PabloRubianes, thanks [04:56] no problem! [04:56] bye guys! [04:57] later PabloRubianes [04:57] later paultag take care! [04:57] paultag, I just have a question about the stress char ` when it is used as an example (non code), can you take a look at the pastbin above, last line [04:58] sure [04:59] One second [04:59] paultag, thanks [05:01] ok nomnex, so do you not want to escape strings when writing that? Why use the ''' ? [05:02] paultag, my question is what difference between `world` and 'word' in some manuals for non snippet of code [05:02] nomnex, Ahha [05:02] nomnex, `foo` infers a command ( in some cases ) otherwise you can read it as the same as 'foo' [05:03] paultag, so `sometext` will indicate a command, I got it now [05:03] nomnex, that's by tradition only :) [05:04] it comes from bash nomnex -- FOO=`echo "Hai"` will store the output of echo "Hai" to $FOO in bash [05:04] in the current example `---Old project 2 in my past bin, does it has a purpose or indication [05:04] no, that's to make it pretty nomnex [05:05] nomnex, it makes it look like a tree [05:05] paultag, `echo "Hai"`I got it [05:06] paultag, it makes it look like a tree, explain, the sub-dir project 1 has |-- [05:06] shouldn't project 2 be |-- too? [05:07] paultag, or ` mean another sub-level? [05:07] nomnex, it means a new sub-level [05:07] Foo [05:07] |--> One [05:08] |--> Two [05:08] `--> Three [05:08] makes it look nice :) [05:08] paultag, thanks, it that a convention or case by case? [05:08] nomnex, preface of the documenter [05:09] paultag, do you have a link where I can find these usages [05:09] nomnex, fraid not, it's usually just case by case [05:09] I see, what would it be for Four? [05:10] nomnex, the ` ? [05:10] yes [05:10] nomnex, treat it as decoration or as a ', or " [05:10] okay so whatever would do in the case [05:11] paultag, thanks [05:12] nomnex, sure [09:02] I am having some trouble installing steam in Ubuntu...any suggestion? [09:03] hey shredder12 [09:04] hi pedro3005 [09:04] shredder12, how are you attempting to install it? [09:05] I downloaded the .msi file.. used the command "wine msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi", after the whole installation wizard finishes .. I get an error saying that I need to be connected to Internet in order to run Steam [09:06] pedro3005, I use a proxy server to connect to Internet, could that be a problem? [09:06] shredder12, hm, let me research [09:07] shredder12, looked at this? http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-d582e2a4e92f4d8ae6c3401daebd7d5621eb220f [09:09] well, I have already set the http_proxy variable...let me try tweaking the registry [09:09] shredder12, sorry, have to go off for school [09:09] good luck [09:09] thanks pedro3005 c ya..

X) [14:11] Resistor Capacitor Transistor Logic [15:41] Hi I'm having some major issues with install dovecot [15:42] I'm following the tutorials in "The Official Ubuntu Server Book" and have got the part about setting up a mail server, and installing dovecot... I can't install it, I was instructed to try to remove it, and no both apt-get remove and apt-get install spit out errors. [15:44] grepFu: can you pastebin the errors here. I'm no sure I know whats wrong. but someone who knows can take a look [15:45] http://pastebin.com/mzfHRJnK [15:46] chmod: cannot access `/var/run/dovecot': No such file or directory [15:47] The_Flower_Man: nice nickname ;) [15:48] The_Flower_Man : Didn't know what / if I should create it [15:50] What do you mean you cannot install it? Something like: sudo aptitude install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d [15:50] The paistbin is the output I get. [15:51] Hmmm [15:51] grepFu: why are you using the -f flag? [15:51] doing apt-get but same difference. [15:51] The 3 things that strike out are [15:51] Not replacing deleted config file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf [15:51] chmod: cannot access `/var/run/dovecot': No such file or directory [15:51] dpkg: error processing dovecot-common (--configure): [15:51] Which is depressing [15:52] grepFu: what release of Ubuntu are you running? [15:52] saw it on another tutorial, well someone had the same problem, but that thread ended in 2008, and no body got back to them. [15:52] 8.04.2 LTS [15:53] If I don't use -f the output is the same. [15:54] Its a dedicated server, I've done this before, and never had any problems running apt-get install on these packages. [15:55] SSL wasn't working, so I was told to remove dovecot and postfix and reinstall, which I did, and now dovecot won't install. [15:56] my knowledge of server packages isn't enough to guide you from here. sorry :( [15:56] :'( [15:56] The server book is pretty basic, not massively impressed with the email conf stuff, they seem to miss out alot. [16:16] grepFu: are you after setting up a mail server ? [16:16] trying to [16:17] Was following the official server book, and got in a bit of a muddle. [16:17] do you want clamav as your anti-viral agent, and anti-spam filtering ?# [16:17] Not can't install devcot [16:17] covecot [16:17] *dovecot... also I can't type. [16:20] hmm, you maight want to have a look at http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/ It's nicely lain out and is ideal for a server [16:20] i set it up & it worked straight away... I was suprised :-D [16:22] I used release notes 8, as was not ready to start playing with clud stuff (I'm waiting for release notes 10 for that) [16:22] cluc=cloud [16:24] Yeah problem I have is I can't install Dovecot [16:24] http://pastebin.com/MGNwf2W6 [16:27] grepFu: have you manually deleted any of the dovecote stuff from a previous failed installation ? [18:01] Could somebody help me to configure tripwire? I installed it but something goes wrong [20:58] wow the channel is quiet! [21:19] where is everyone? [21:20] yvan: possibly there is no-one about that needs help - the team channel moved a while ago [21:22] hobgoblin, well never knew that, what is the new channel? [21:22] ubuntu-beginners-team ; [21:22] ;) [21:23] hobgoblin, thanks man [21:23] welcome [21:32] I didn't know that either [21:32] hey, as a beginner I have a question [21:32] why doesn't yank work in vim for me? [21:32] I hit yy and it doesn't copy to the frame buffer [21:32] is that right? frame buffer? [21:33] well buffer at any rate [21:58] hi seidos, if you pop over to the communuty documentation on vim at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VimHowto that has an introduction and links to the full manuals for vim [21:58] phillw, you really think an answer to my question is in the full manuals? [22:07] I didn't know it was case sensitive [22:07] yG seems to work, but yg doesn't [22:23] seidos: I don't use vim, as no-one had answered in 20mins, that's the best I could do. [22:24] i use nano [22:24] phillw, ohhhhh. I like the yank command in vim but it wasn't working [22:24] I think I figured it out though, partially because of your help. thank you [22:26] seidos: yw [22:50] I'm trying to download the mumble server software using this link http://sourceforge.net/projects/mumble/files/Mumble/1.2.2/murmur-static_x86-1.2.2.tar.lzma [22:50] so I do wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/mumble/files/Mumble/1.2.2/murmur-static_x86-1.2.2.tar.lzma [22:50] but all it gives me for a download is index.html [22:50] what am I doing wrong? [22:53] ghostofmybrain_: See if you can use http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mumble/Mumble/1.2.2/murmur-static_x86-1.2.2.tar.lzma?use_mirror=iweb [22:55] that gives a 404 [22:55] oops, mistake period in there [22:57] sorry I can't type. That worked. Thanks. So I was just using a bad link or something?
