Debian :: Find The Fastest Mirros For ALL Repos?
Jan 28, 2011
I've already googled and I found how to find the fastest repo counterpart. The problem is all tips I found, talk about main repo. However I am interested in finding all counterparts (for each entry)[URL]he first line originally contained the main Debian repo, but since netselect-apt found the fastest counterpart, I changed this line to mirror.But -- what about the rest? How to find the fastest counterpart repo (mirror) for each line?

The graphical package management tools like Synaptic have a nice feature where you can scan for and connect to the fastest server. I'm writing a setup script for minimal installs and would like to offer the option to scan for a fast server, does anybody know how to achieve this through the command line?

how to find out second fastest repository server.
I know ubuntu will choose the best server for you by ping value, but it's not give you the ping value list.
For some reason, I don't want to use the server ubuntu choose.
Are there any method/software can show the speed list of ubuntu repository servers?

Does anyone know of a tool to find the fastest mirrors for the repos? I know some distros have something called "fastest mirrors" or something equivalent. The fastest I can get updates is around 238 kB/s and normally, on other distros I get 10 times that speed.btw, like all the other distros, speedtest.net gives me an avg download speed of 43Mbs

I thought this might interest someone out there:[URL].. I used SD cards with MBR formatted as ext2 for backup. After I read these articles, I reformatted my cards with GUID Partition Table and ext4 format. Now I make my backup in half the time!

I want to clean my ubuntu installation and I want to find packages which I installed using .deb files or using another (not ubuntu) repositories. I'm sure it can be done using apt or dselect or dpkg, but how?)

I'm running openSuSe 11.3 and KDE4.5, but the only version of KDirStat that I can find in the repos is dependent on the KDE3 libs. Is there a version available for KDE4.5? Or maybe something else equally as good (apart from running WinDirStat under Wine)

A few days ago, I noticed that flash wasn't working. I don't use flash often and have Flashblock guarding the gates so not quite sure when that happened. In the process of getting it running again I noticed a lot of Iceweasel add-ons are available in the Debian repos. In fact, deleting Flashblock from Firefox and switching to the one from the repos may be what fixed the problem (or it could have been the latest Iceweasel update which I reinstalled).
Anyway, my question is . . . just how do add-ons available via Synaptic and those from Firefox differ? And is it preferable and advisable to use the ones in Synaptic? Since I imported my old profile from Firefox to Iceweasel, I have a lot of standard add-ons rather than the Debian version.

I'm running Testing and am wondering why didn't Firefox/Iceweasel hit this repo yet? I know that I can download it from another source but I prefer to follow the default repos. I'm not complaining, just asking where I can find more details about the delay and if some has an when it'll be pushed.

I'm new to Debian and I have just installed it on three machines. To begin with they checked about 60 or so repos when doing an update. Then quite quickly this dropped to 48. I have removed the DVD media from the sources list after installation but that was before I saw this drop. It happened after an update as far as I can tell. I didn't think anything of it at the time. By the time all three were set up they were all only checking 48 repos. However I also have a VM, for trying out new stuff, and whilst that has been updated it still remains at about 60 (currently 59).

so, if i change my repos from squeeze to testing and just keep updating after squeeze goes stable would i be asking for trouble?
i ask because when i dist-upgraded from lenny to squeeze i had some breakage - i figure if i just stay with testing i'm thinking it'll just update gradually.

A search engine for software only would be nice. Member Craigevil maintains a huge list of repos here:
[URL]
Might it be possible to search them all at once? Perhaps by adding them all, OR MOST of them, to /etc/apt/sources.list?

My primary repos are DVD .isos on my hard drive loop-mounted in /etc/fstab. Although I can install packages just fine and there are no issues with running installed applications, I must have screwed up the configuration of /etc/apt/sources.list because I get this output when I do apt-get update:
Code: Select allIgn file: jessie InRelease
Ign file: jessie InRelease
Ign file: jessie InRelease
Ign file: jessie InRelease
Ign file: jessie InRelease
[Code] .....
Here is my rather primitive but functional /etc/apt/sources.list:
Code: Select all# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8.2.0 _Jessie_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20150906-11:13]/ jessie contrib main
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8.2.0 _Jessie_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20150906-11:13]/ jessie contrib main
deb file:/dvd1 jessie main contrib
deb file:/dvd2 jessie main contrib
deb file:/dvd3 jessie main contrib
[Code] ....
So what exactly have I screwed up?

About finding the fastest booting operating system is out there.
I'm especially interested in Ubuntu Netbook Remix and Intel Moblin, and when my internet comes back tomorrow, xPud. I'm kinda freaked at Moblin though because there isn't an option to split the hard drive to account for its space, and even if there were, I'm freaked that a GRUB won't show up Ubuntu or even Windows 7
My requirements:
1. Boots up in 5-15 seconds on 1.3GHz processor/4GB RAM or within 10 seconds on a netbook which has 1.6GHz Atom and 1GB RAM
2. Has to have a good-looking window manager (so a customised Linux distro with something like Fluxbox/Blackbox is out). Something like what's in netbook designed OS's are good
3. Has to actually be able to run good on laptops that aren't netbooks, for I'm hoping to run the OS on proper laptops too
4. Can be propiertary, though open-source and free is good too and preferable
5. Has to have a GRUB so I can switch between Ubuntu/Windows 7/whatever fast-booting OS it might be or at least an easy way to switch between the 3. More preferable is that it comes as an .exe that can be installed inside Windows, like xPud

I have just got an SSD (Kingston SSDNow 100v 64Gib)It supports TRIM, and is definitely one of the better ones available.I am asserting here that the "limited number of writes" problem is a myth, so I'm not looking for an answer to that.My question is, what filesystem will help me get the best performance out of my SSD? Bear in mind SSDs excel at random access time, but sequential file performance is meh

Is there a faster way to search for a file containing a given string than using grep -re "string" /
This takes a long time to search through the entire system, so I was wondering if there is a faster way. I don't know the name of the file, just that it will contain a given string.

UI figured this would be the place to ask this question. I would like to download all the repositories to my PC for those crazy times when I don't have internet and need to install a program. I guess I would be making my PC a LAN Repository. What is the easiest/fastest way to get all the packages?
