I need to enable innodb on my ubuntu server 10.04 and having tons of problems, I have tried posting questions everywhere and I have no answers....i tried this
show variables like "%innodb%";
+-----------------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+-----------------------+-------+
| have_innodb | NO |
| ignore_builtin_innodb | OFF |
+-----------------------+-------+
so it seems like it is not installed or something but i keep reading its installed by default
show engines;
+------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
| Engine | Support | Comment | Transactions | XA | Savepoints |
+------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+

I dont see it in the output and when trying to install Social Engine I get this:
sudo tasksel install lamp-server
MySQL installs with InnoDB engine available. This might be something you have to take up with Linode Support
