Debian :: Apt-Get Install Foobar Download Only
May 7, 2010
I was wondering what exactly happens when I do apt-get --download-only? I have early morning unlimited download hours and I used them today to download a huge number of packages with 'apt-get install foobar --download-only'. Once the packages were downloaded it ended with a message indicating that it has only downloaded the packages. Later I tried to install the same packages using 'apt-get install foobar' and was prompted to download 300MB all over again. I then tried 'apt-get install foobar -no-download', and got the same result.
This didn't yield any results:
cd /var/
find . -iname"*foobar*"
cd ~/
find . -iname"*foobar*"
What do I need to do to get it to work. I thought that I had understood how to use --download-only after reading the manpage (and pages on the net), but I'm clearly wrong.

I am running Debian Lenny on a Dell Vostro 1500. I have gotten the correct network card drivers up and running however I need to get a network manager working so I can configure my wireless card to use my network. I have downloaded the wicd deb package but how do I install it? Do I use apt-get install and if so how do I get it to see the downloaded file?

I shut down my Ubuntu 10.04 (recently upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 to 10.04) and moved it to another location with a different monitor, keyboard, mouse. When I booted, a screen came up stating:
Quote: The disk drive for /mnt/foobar is not ready yet or not present. Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery

Ive been wondering, if there is a audio player for Linux similiar to Foobar. The only thing Im searching for is the ability to sort media library by folder structure. If you know something that can do the job, let me know... Im also searching for easy, intuitive text editor, like Notepad++. I use it for working in school and i just love the way it handles "tab" spaces, and bullet lists.

I love foobar 2000 but I'm always trying to shy away from windows apps. What are your recommendations as "good" replacements for foobar 2000? So far I have tried:
Amarok - Crashes all the time, and keeps saying it can't play mp3s. Used to love this app, but seems broken for me now. Even if I reinstall it.
Rhythmbox - Great, but reports the wrong bitrate on all my songs. It is very important for me to know the correct bitrate for uploading to certain sites.
Audacious - Way to simple and winamp like.
Bangarang - No.

I've been trying to use Wine to make Foobar work in Linux. The program does work, but it doesn't make a sound. For the rest, is works perfectly. I'm having the same problem with any Flash application I try to run: everything works, but without a sound. Amarok, however, doesn't have this problem.Somewhere I found that such problem might be related to Pulseaudio. So I tried going on the Pulseaudio configuration under "other" in the sound panel in YaST, but it tells me that Pulseaudio is not installed or cannot be configurated. I tried installing the package via Terminal, but it tells me that patterns-openSUSE-kde4_pure-11.3-22.1.x86_64 conflicts with pulseaudio given by pulseaudio-0.9.21-10.1.1.x86_64. I would have to delete it, if I wanted to install pulseaudio.Now I don't know where to put my hands. I am not good at this I'm not even sure I would solve my trouble installing pulseaudio, anyway. I'm using a sony vaio VPCEA3C4E with openSUSE 11.3 KDE installed trough USB key.

I am writing a simple application that will run as user foo (i.e. Ubuntu user foo).However, the application will connect to my database as (database user foobar). IIRC, database users have nothing to do with Linux system users - but I just need to clarify that.So can an app launched to run as user 'foo', connect to a database as user 'foobar'?

how to update my system online (for example my firefox 3.0 to 3.5) but i can't figure out how this possibly works. I tried the "online update" using Yast2 but apparently (according to Yast) there is nothing at all to be patched on my system. I tried to click on the Firefox-3.5.5 rpm in the repository web-interface and open it using "install software" but the process aborts because of unresolved dependencies. Is there an easy way to update software without having to download/install every dependency manually?

I plan to install Debian on a machine that will have no access to the internet but I would like to install some packages in it (such as build-essential). I was thinking of downloading them here and transfer and install them on the other machine at a later time but because of dependencies I don't know what packages I'll need besides of the ones I really want, for example: After the fresh install from the cd, I would like to install build-essential which requires g++, make etc... but is there a way to download all that instead of doing it manually? Since I don't really know when to stop downloading dependencies. I tried aptitude download but it only gives me the meta-package. I also thought of chroot to a fresh system, install the packages and retrieve them from the local folder where they get downloaded but I was looking for something less complicated.

Does anyone use peer-to-peer software in Debian?I wonder if I made a mistake going with a pure Debian install.I wanted a low resource distro / DE so I chose Debian LXDE since I have some familiarity with Ubuntu.I have used Lenny before as well.But, when I install software apps, it doesn't always go in the menu. I don't mind starting the app from CLI but how do I know what to type then?!?I found that Azureus goes into the menu via 'Vuze.' Okay. But, then nothing downloads... it just sits there forever at '0.' I then tried the same file in the Windows partition and it starts downloading after a few seconds.
This pissed me off so much I started a thread in the 'Coffee Lounge' about downloading in Linux. It's complicated enough and then there's differences when using it in Linux so that it doesn't run. I am not sure what's going on but maybe there something inherent in the Debian system or Linux in general that prevents it from working?I thought maybe it is security and I have to enable something or run it in 'root mode' or something? My experience in peer-to-peer applications is mostly in Windows so I'm not sure what to do. I thought I had it working in Linux eons ago but my laptop was set up with a new install so that would have been under a different OS (version) anyway.

Since the DVD is only 4.7GB and missing some stuff (e.g. pvm) I decided to download the network install /oss folder for openSUSE 11.2 so that I can install multiple copies locally and keep my bandwidth usage down.
I've downloaded the full /oss folder using wget -r and wget -cr during my ISP's free bandwidth slot (12-8am - and it took 2 sessions to get it all).Wget didn't throw up any errors so why the difference?Is there any (simple) way I can check the integrity of the download?

I've recently upgraded my broadband from a 1Mbps to a 10Mpbs from the same ISP. As such there is no change of hardware.Tried downloading a Linux iso from my laptop and is getting a very good download speed. However, noticed that when I am downloading the iso, all the bandwidth is taken up by the download. Even my browser is unable to refresh or load a new webpage. Boot into Win7 (same laptop) and the webpage is ABLE to load. Tried the same in my netbook (openSUSE) and the webpage is ABLE to load. Tried the same in my Debian desktop and the same problem returns, while downloading files (iso or video) all the bandwidth is taken by the download. Browser unable to refresh. Computer connected to the same wireless network is also deprived of the bandwidth. So the bandwidth (from the wireless router) is totally taken up by the downloading Debian laptop or desktop.

I'm new on this forum and i started knowing Linux with Ubuntu from about 1 year later. Now, because of some annoying problems with Ubuntu, i'd like starting a new experience with Debian.
So i tried to download it from the official website, but there are too many GB to download for my slow internet connection. Is there a way to download an iso with less GB?

I just installed AV Linux to an old Compaq Evo N800v laptop. I did have Ubuntu Studio on this laptop and it worked really good. But there were things I didn't like, so I tested AV Linux and ended up installing it this morning.
I ran the install without a network connection because I read a tutorial that said it was better to just get the operating system installed without any hiccups and after do the updates. So I opened the Synaptic Package Manager and clicked Reload and ended up getting this message:
Could not download all repository indexes
The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.

I cannot use any torrent programs because nothing will download. Every figure will sit at '0' indefinitely...forever! I can boot up my Windows XP install and it will start within a few seconds. I am just trying to figure out what's going on. Another problem is that my LXDE desktop doesn't seem to pick up every application I install. It doesn't go in the menu. I tried Torrent but it didn't go in the menu. I would start it via CLI but I'm not sure what to type. I thought there might be a security issue but that's only speculation.
I know that ports are supposed to be set via the router settings but I'm sharing the router. I might go to a relative's home and try to work on the problem there. I can go in the router there. But, I can have nothing set and just start downloading with default settings in Windows so I thought it can't be a ports problem. Unless? I'm at a loss and have no other theories. Debian and other distros want you to download their OS via torrent so to not even have it work.

I was wondering how can I re-download only all currently installed packages. I would like to save them to removable media, because I use netinst disc to install, and on slow connection it's hell to download 1GB of packages with console-only.

would someone explain to me (or point me to an explanation) the list of cd/dvd images available for download. I downloaded Lenny on one cd long ago installed it and everything was ok. Now I notice there are about 5 or 6 dvd's and over 30 cd's for download. I notice that there is one cd for 6.0 i386 KDE version that I presume is the same as I used long ago.
