Debian :: Install Some Packages From The Internet?
May 31, 2010
I have installed Debian Lenny from a 5 DVD set I purchased some time ago as well as packages I needed over time but now 'synaptic' refuses to recognize the first dvd as number one although when I try it, it boots normally for an install that I then abort.I'd like to install some packages directly from the Internet, can anyone explain what I need to do or point me to instructions, I do not have much experience with the command line.My current kernel is 2-6-26.21

During the installation of Debian ( debian-8.2.0-amd64-CD-1.iso ) I couldn't connect to any mirror probably because the internet wasn't configured.
Thus, after the basic installation I wasn't able to install any packages ( trying to install sudo as root prompted me to insert the media disc - the USB drive I used wasn't detected going in an infinite loop ). Judging by the fact that I don't have a window manager installed.

I'm very new to Linux world however I managed to I installed Debian lenny on my box using a set of CD burned from ISO images. Everything works just fine so far. However, every time I try to update it always asks me to insert the CD and it's somewhat inconvenience. How to make debian just goes straight to the repository site to download the packages that I need

I do understand that to install software on linux distros that the main way is to have internet connectivity and to download them via RPM or to manually do this in terminal. Can you install software by downloading it from another PC via CD and install it in your Linux PC from the CD? Reason I ask is that I do not have a WLAN setup on my Linux PC yet and would like to install some programs or drivers while I am waiting to get a WLAN adapter that is compatible with Linux. Can you convert drivers or programs to an ISO image that can be installed on Linux? Another reason is that I have read that Wine can be used in the absence of MS Windows to run certain or a few programs in Linux as well as assist Linux to recognize drivers of hardware that is utilized for MS Windows.

I downloaded and installed Debian Squeeze from a CD (a 700~mb file), but I seem to be missing a lot of things; mainly any wireless internet tools! I searched through aptitude and I couldn't find any sort of package. Do all copies of Debian (I downloaded the CD-1 file from a http mirror) have network tools such as network-manager-gnome?

I have a general question: can I install packages in my Ubuntu, just using the live-CD but no network connection?
I broke my Ubuntu(9.10) and now can not log in, so I want to reinstall gnome, unfortunately I could not connect to internet, so I wonder if there is a way to use the live-CD as a source for the new software.
I would be really happy if I don't have to preinstall the whole system.

A few weeks ago I installed Ubuntu 9.10 (32-bit) onto a machine with Internet access, so it was easy for me to run the following commands to install OpenSSH and portmap:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
sudo apt-get install portmap
But now I have just installed Ubuntu 9.10 (64-bit) onto a machine without internet access. How do I install openssh-server and portmap onto that machine?

I'm trying to do a net install with the latest release of debian - but my ethernet card is not recognized/the drivers are not available because I have a card that requires a linux kernel version of 2.6.35. This is obviously a problem because I can't download any additional packages, and I can't update the version because I'm not able to connect to the internet. I have installed it, but it's only text (which I assume is because I could not install the graphical interface, correct me if I'm blaringly wrong here). So what can I do to install debian on my laptop and be able to use my Intel Centrino Advanced-N 620 network card?

After installing debian 5.0.4 basic from first dvd, I extracted all other dvd images to hard disk and pointed /etc/apt/sources.list point to all these directories.
after refreshing using synaptic package manager, I got list of all 20,000+ packages, and did a
"apt-get -y install ......(all 20,000 names)". It failed due to some conflicts. So I used "--force-yes -f " option as well.
It went on for nearly two days to install everything. (in between due to power failure, something was done half way and was able to login to KDE boot option and see lots of software installed.)
After complete install - it shows a startup screen of Debian EDu - but fails to boot up.
Is there a way to install all softwares + all XWindow systems simultaneously?

I have just installed Debian Lenny and was trying to upgrade the installed packages from the packages.debian.org site. when i asked synaptic to add the downloaded packages the would not appear, but when i checked the .xsessions file there are entries saying that the packages were being ingnored because they were either different versions, the MD5 did not match or even "can't find pkg". i have to use the local library to download the packages because i dont have an internet connection at home.

For about the last 24 hours I have been unable to install any packages with APT. A connection to ftp3.nrc.ca can never be established.
1) Is this a problem on my end, or is this mirror down?
2) Is there a way for me to (temporarily) change mirror?

I have a a few questions about Testing's update manager. When I go to the update manager I get a message saying "Do you want to perform a safe-upgrade, which does not remove packages or install new ones"? Will my entire system ever eventually get upgraded if I only ever do safe-upgrades? Or is there a time and a place to do non-safe upgrades? I did a non-safe upgrade a few days ago and all it did was mess with a bunch of OpenOffice packages.
Why are only certain packages selected by default when doing a non safe upgrade? Why is it that whenever I do a non-safe upgrade when it's done applying the updates the same packages I just installed are listed as available updates? Also, I used this website to build my sources.list and there apparently is some sort of "fatal error" with one of the repositories I selected. Is there a text file somewhere I can go to see a readout of apt-get bug reports?

I tried to install Debian 3 at my pc, and while it worked, it only installed the basic system. When it goes trying to install the "everyday-use" packages it cames with this message:Some error ocurred while unpacking. I am going tp configure the packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors or erros caused by missing dependencies. This is ok, only the erros above this message are important. Please fix them and Install again

I have been using linux for about a year and have run into a new problem I am unable to solve. It started when I attempted to install some packages I needed to get VirtualBox to run VMs. I am on Jessie.
I am unable to install various packages, including gedit, aptitude etc. I do not think it is a problem with my sources.list as my laptop has the same sources.list and I am not encountering the same problems on it. Packages will not install any dependencies. -f install isn't doing anything for me.
My sources.list...
deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src [arch=amd64,i386] http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free
[Code] ....
I tried to check for held packages with
userone@localhost:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
But get nothing.
sudo apt-get install -y

I'm attempting to install Debian (Stable) from a business net install disc. The problem? I can't load/install the packages I need to connect to my USB 3G modem. When I load up a shell (tty2?), I'm brought to an 'ash' prompt, and there's no DPKG for me to load the necessary packages.
how I can do a total net install, including the base, from an USB 3G modem? Actually, I'm very surprised that current Linux distros don't seem to include support, for this growing market share type of internet connection.

i did an install of squeeze without selecting anything during tasksel. after install i changed my sources to testing, updated, and did a dist-upgrade. i then installed xfce4 and xfce4 goodies. i noticed some of the xfce4 packages have the current state 'pa'. for example:
[Code]...
this makes me worry some things didn't install all the way, because if i did aptitude install xfce4-power-manager it would install it and leave make the current state 'i'.is there anyway to install all the packages labeled 'pi'?
