[01:24] <shwag> so I installed a kernel image and now I regret it. How do I put grub back to the old kernel ?
[01:54] <knix_> i am having php woes here, anyone help?
[01:57] <knix_> i had a perfectly good lamp server running until about an hour ago.  Now php want to download the php file rather than displaying it.   I have tried everything to reinstalling php5, apache2, and libapache2-mod-php5.  Please guys, i am very desperate here
[08:25] <dsdg> halo, i hope there are some gurus here,
[08:26] <dsdg> im a gentoo guy, thats rebuilding my infrastructure on ubuntu, because bossman thinkst it's the shit, got the server up, impressed with the install btw, how do i add/remove services from automatic startup?
[08:29] <foo> hmm
[08:30] <dsdg> you must be joking right?
[08:30] <foo> Uh. no
[08:30] <dsdg> in gentoo i do rc-update add service name runlevel
[08:30] <dsdg> or rc-update del service name runlevel
[08:30] <dsdg> how the crap can you run this on a server without getting frustrated?
[08:30] <foo> Right, it's not hard. I just forgot the command.
[08:31] <foo> dsdg: heh. Chill. You're frustrated because you don't know ;)
[08:31] <dsdg> foo, :)
[08:31] <dsdg> ok, i am chilled :) was just thinking out loud, sorry buddy dont mean to tense you up,
[08:32] <dsdg> it's friday and im cool, just want to do stuff get this server up and ready so i can go home :)
[08:32] <dsdg> but you can find out how to do that right?
[08:32] <dsdg> ;)
[08:32] <foo> Yeah, one minute
[08:33] <dsdg> thank goodness :)
[08:34] <foo> Aha!
[08:34] <foo> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491
[08:34] <foo> sysv-rc-conf
[08:34] <foo> I knew it was sys something
[08:41] <dsdg> thank you, busy reading it now,
[08:42] <foo> ok
[08:44] <dsdg> Package sysv-rc-conf is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[08:44] <dsdg> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[08:44] <dsdg> is only available from another source
[08:44] <dsdg> E: Package sysv-rc-conf has no installation candidate
[08:44] <foo> hmm
[08:45] <dsdg> damn man, this cant be, 
[08:46] <foo> hmm. 
[08:46] <foo> apt-get update 
[08:46] <foo> then try
[08:47] <dsdg> i did,
[08:48] <foo> hmm, ok
[08:55] <dsdg> is there no way else?
[09:02] <fabbione> man update-rc.d
[09:02] <fabbione> don't use that crap
[09:02] <fabbione> the sysv-rc-conf thingy i mean
[09:03] <infinity> sysv-rc-conf is in universe.
[09:03] <infinity> Though I don't recommend its use.
[09:04] <fabbione> and i should be in bed.. too restless to lay more
[09:04] <dsdg> no i will use update-rc.d
[09:04] <dsdg> it's 10 am here in cape town south africa..
[09:19] <dsdg> i am doing everything in console, so how can i search apt? like i want to install mc, and apache, but how do i tell apt apache1 or apache2? and to compile with mysql support?
[10:06] <infinity> "compile with mysql support"?
[10:06] <infinity> This isn't Gentoo.
[10:06] <infinity> As for picking the right apache, read package descriptions? :)
[10:06] <infinity> (apt-cache search apache, followed by, say, apt-cache show apache2-mpm-prefork, which is probably what you want, if you intend to use php...)
[10:08] <infinity> If you wanted a typical LAMP setup, you might be looking for "apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-mysql mysql-server"
[10:15] <dsdg> infinity, damn right this isnt gentoo ;) anycase, i got it, like the symlink to enable modules, quite cool,
[02:34] <foo> Hm, I am looking at iostat and the disk is reading 13539 blocks a second and writing 39 blocks a second. Does this sound like a lot of disk usage?
