How to

So you've got your pc up and running with ubuntu or ubuntu desktop and now you've found out that there is a pretty cool creative suite distribution of ubuntu called ubuntustudio, and you want it because, obviously, you are creative...

Well, lucky for you, upgrading is easy. Just follow the steps below to remove your ubuntudesktop and replace it with, in my opinion, a spiffier ubuntustudio desktop and cool open source programs...

Resolution

first, get on terminal and run these commands:

Following the Node Profile Package Step by Step Tutorial pretty much step-by-step.

So, you're the latest Agaric intern (or a founder who's forgotten everything) and you need to put a client on a new server, and you want to continue using the Agaric repository system.

You've found the right page.

Resolution

If you have to begin at the beginning (but not all the way at the beginning) include this first command, throwing in sudos as required throughout:

apt-get install subversion

Agaric procedure for taking a site that was sharing a Drupal codebase with a bunch of other sites standalone.

Download a new Drupal. http://drupal.org/project/drupal

SVN export the current agaric-sites/5/project-name/trunk/sitename.com directory to replace (and rename as) default.

Check the whole thing in.

(If you're starting from the beginning, download a starter CD.)

Note: Take time to look at each statement and what it runs.

All of this is from: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_etch

apt-get install ssh openssh-server

vi /etc/network/interfaces

In there, this is the important part to change:

Tell Ubuntu or Debian GNU-Linux where to look for package sources, for instance, tell Ubuntu or Debian not to look at the CD.

vi /etc/apt/sources.list

Resolution

This was tried on a completely empty installation. If it actually matters, you are advised to consult your nearest neighborhood GNU-Linux sysadmin.

And of course your first step would be to back up everything.

How do I import languages to translate the base of drupal?

Go to http://drupal.org/project/translations and download them.

Untar (unzip) your language translations.

Then head on over to your Administer » Site Configuration » Localization page and click import (/en/admin/settings/locale/language/import)

You do not even have to enable the language first:

Note: I think NancyW has a post on Drupal.org about how to do this also, but I can't find it right now.

If it weren't for the promise of autopilot coming out and helping with all this, I would be trying to figure out how to grep settings.php to find the real $db_url = line (which follows, rather than being in, /* */ C-style comments).

Problem: how do we automatically rename all database table prefixes and the field prefixes within the sequences table?

beats by goose is in D5.1 so Agaric needs to get it to point to a directory specifically so the default can be made 5.2

This is the model it's currently following, below, for the general redirection:

But the one working to send Agaric to the drupal 5.2 directory isn't using NameVirtualHost, so I'm getting rid of it. I'm also putting in the options follow symlinks etc directory four line set.

And of course I add in the ServerName and ServerAlias lines for djgoose.net etc.
