New to Elgg? Need help? Come chat on IRC.

Posted on by John Rockefeller

Part of the fun of working on open-source projects is the fact you get to connect with other developers all over the world in a collaborative fashion. Using Internet Relay Chat (IRC), you can connect to other Elgg developers for help or discussion.

If you’re new to IRC, check out the wikipedia article on the subject and download a good IRC client (for Windows) (for Linux KDE).

To connect to the Elgg channel, connect to irc.freenode.org. Then, join channel #elgg.

See you there!

Rpmdrake or one of its priority dependencies needs to be updated first. Rpmdrake will then restart.

If you ever go to add or remove software in Mandriva Linux and receive that error message, try this:

  1. Open up Konsole.
  2. Type “su” and enter your root password to move to the root account.
  3. Type “urpmi rpmdrake” and complete the install of the rpmdrake program.

For some reason, rpmdrake may get corrupted or may never have been installed. Regardless, this solved this error message for me and it may for you. Good luck!
