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