[10:52] Howdy all [13:25] Happy Release Day to everyone! [13:25] Izzit out yet? [13:31] Yes! Ubuntu 11.10 is out! Downloads at http://goo.gl/Ov56R or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/ [13:31] Woo! [13:32] it seems the repos always get the hind tit :) [13:33] Don't be greedy be seed-y Use torrent! [13:33] pangolin, why , I don't need a full install, i just need the updates [13:34] BluesKaj: that is cool but the servers need help pushing it out :) [13:34] * genii-around decides to use zsync instead [13:35] wish they'd push the uodates into the repos , so i can finish this thing and get on with other things [13:49] Woo! [13:49] Release party in #ubuntu-release-party. :D [13:50] Also in Toronto tonight. :D [13:50] Heh, yes, in around ten hours === Amgine is now known as Guest74455 [19:24] hey guys, how would I make a boot disk using my current system configuration? [19:30] sorry, not boot, recovery [19:40] nvm === Guest74455 is now known as Amgine [20:02] new question; would anyone here know how to set up a PHP/SQL-enabled web server running inside my ubuntu distro? Want to host a site used for school news from my computer, use DDNS as a link to the thing. [20:15] khoover: apt-get install apache2? [20:16] eh, then what? [20:19] specifically, it'd have to be able to run WordPress. [20:19] and not bork up my home use of the computer === bregma is now known as bregma|afk [20:40] hey, Amgine, would just installing the LAMP package work if I want to host WordPress on my laptop? [20:42] That's the full stack, but it doesn't include WordPress itself. [20:42] You can add the stack, then wordpress, and you'll be good to go. [20:50] ah, that would be what i need, then [20:51] also going to be running a DDNS server so I can access the damn thing from school, how would I set it up so that it automatically recognizes my ISP's changed it up again? Amgine [20:51] That I'm not sure of. Have you looked at OwnCloud software? [20:54] if i opened an html file through it, would it be parsed correctly on the other side:? [21:04] khoover: Not exactly; but it's a way to save everything away from your internet appliance. [21:06] ...oooooooh, so use a different computer to store stuff than my server. Yeah, not really an option, only have one computer open. Just gotta figure out a way to ensure my DDNS is always updated [21:09] Amgine, how would i configure a cron job? [21:10] Mmm, have you checked on wikipedia how to use cron? [21:12] yeah, doesn't say where to stick it other than the sys-wide [21:18] Amgine, exactly how much of a vulnerability is there to attack on non-server stuff through the server? [21:18] Depends on your firewalls. Most routers have a firewall; make sure it is turned on. [21:21] right [21:21] well, been ignoring my Philosophy homework long enough, have more time this weekend to work on the damn server. [21:23] [21:27] can't even head to the release party tonight. :( [21:35] study every day, a little, and you can go out more often. [21:35] <- parent, cantcha tell? [21:42] aha, no, more just a precis to write in one night is the problem [21:42] and christ, nano is funny to use. [21:43] just managed to set up a cron for the IP updating script, though. hourly, should work [21:46] [21:50] and woo-hoo, finally finished the 11.04 download! can backup my system, at last! [21:52] khoover, if you were downloading 11.04, you may have been doing it wrong :) [21:52] 11.10 got released today :) [21:53] cyphermox, i know, it's in case 11.10 breaks my computer. making a 11.04 livecd w/ all my packages [21:54] good idea [21:55] cyphermox, also, you know much about hosting webservers? specifically, I'd be trying to get one going inside my ubuntu install, hosting a wordpress server. [22:28] cyphermox oh, when I install 11.10, will it overwrite everything on the drive, or just the kernal files? [22:28] OS* === bregma|afk is now known as bregma [22:49] khoover: setting up ubuntu to host wordpress is easy [22:49] if you need help, ask :] [22:50] http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=3005 <- helps ;] [22:51] yeah, i'm using the community doc to install LAMP, then the wordpress guide to setting it up. XP [22:51] also, think my friend got invited to a release party when she knows nothing about ubuntu. [22:52] :] [22:52] good time to learn then! [22:52] tbh I won't be installing 11.10 [22:52] I didn't realize that unity was the only choice [22:52] what? [22:52] so bugger that for a game of soldiers! [22:52] unity's the only choice? [22:53] yeah [22:55] well...fuck. [22:55] might have to go to kde [22:58] oooooor...since the desktop apparently has a fallback mode, permanently stay in that. [23:01] and apache2 is working! WOOHOO! [23:05] xfce = win [23:06] yeah, i tried that, then everything went to hell. [23:06] http://www.xubuntu.org/ :D [23:08] meh. would it destroy all the packages I have on here, or would it leave the gnome ones alone so I can survive? [23:11] Yes. [23:11] [23:13] hey, willwh, which php5 i pick? cgi, or fpm? [23:13] i'm getting dependency errors with an apache module, and an mpm thing. [23:14] Amgine, anyways, will getting 11.10 affect anything other than my OS files? [23:14] I would use fpm [23:14] :) [23:14] what's the difference? [23:15] khoover: there are always a few things to get used to with a new release, but this is a minor version number. Everything should work as you expect.
