Red Hat / Fedora :: Installing Software Offline / From DVD In 15?
Jun 3, 2011
Currently i am using Fedora 15. My question is - how do i build repository in fedora using fedora installation DVD and later on i can install the software from that repository ?
second issue is - my friend don't have internet connection. so, how do i install the software like - VLC, amarok, and other players offline ? i have downloaded software from RPMFusion, but i am unable to install them. during the installation process, it shows error like - "Can't install src.rpm". there is any other resources where i can get the rpm files so that i can download them and send to my friend and he can install it without any internet connection ?

I am having a computer attached to internet and is updating regularly using update manager. Is there any way to update the other computers which are not connected to internet?
I have Debien 7.8 Wheezy installed on my laptop, along with the GNOME desktop. As I absolutely hate the new GNOME layout I want to install MATE so I can get the classic GNOME 2 desktop back. But I have no internet connection here at home (I only have my phone for internet and I can't tether it).
So I'm wondering if it's possible for me to download all the packages and install MATE offline? I don't even know what all the packages are that I need.I can download the packages with my phone with no issue.
I installed Debian on my laptop with the Debian DVDs in case you were wondering. when I downloaded the Debian DVD ISOs, I only saw three ISO files, but the documentation said that it's a 10 DVD set. What happened to the other 7 DVD ISOs?
I have an offline Ubuntu 10.10 install at another house, i cannot bring it to this house to install the software I need. I would like to install a program which can convert a CD to MP3 files. Can anyone tell me how i cant get this software onto a USB and then how i can install it when I take it to the other computer? EDIT: The computer with internet acccess is Windows 7 not Ubuntu!
I have an offline computer with centos5.5 running on it. I want to do some tests on mediawiki or any other opensource tools. However, I can't access localhost from the browser because I don't have a webserver. How do I install apache or LAMP in general without the "yum" command? Where can I find all the dependencies needed?
I downloaded some rpm files from rpmfusion.org to my computer using my Windows Vista OS. I then moved the files to the partition where Fedora is installed. When I ran the files on the terminal using the rpm command, it showed a lot of errors like: xyz needs abc.. and so on. How then can I install softwares and codecs on my computer without being online? I don't have screenshots right now.
Administering offline Linux boxes can be a serious pain. The Debian flavours now have keryx to make life easier. Keryx is a cross-platform application, which means one can get the dependencies from Windoze too. Is there any similar package for rpm/fedora based flavours? In the absense of a proper Offline manager, I was also wondering if there is a way to collect the output of:
Code:
yum deplist <package>
... condense or sieve out the double listings, and pipe that to a text file? One can copy the output and run
Code:
yum reinstall <paste them here> --downloadonly
and get all the required dependencies from the yum cache. If all that can be accommodated in one script... then that's pretty cool. I don't have the scripting know-how to dive into this.
I am about to loose my internet soon, I am not sure for how long, but I am curious, Can I go to another computer that has internet and download updates for my computer, take them back to my computer and install the updates so I can stay up to date?
I don't start a network connection when my machine boots FC11 64 bit. When I start the connection and the Firefox browser, I always find that Firefox has set itself to work offline. I use File->work offline and uncheck that box. This fixes the problem, but only till the next reboot. Even if I exit Firefox "in an orderly manner", the next time it will have set itself to work offline.
I had this problem in previous Fedora versions. I read about two solutions on the web. One was to write a script that removed a file called extensions.cache before Firefox ran. The other was to type about:config in the address bar of Firefox, acknowledge the warning message, and use the right mouse button to togglethe value ofoolkit.networkmanager.disable from "false" to "true".Are either of these good solutions? What exactly does "network manager" do? I think of it as the gui under System->Administration->Network, but it must be more.
I downloaded and installed the newest version of Fedora, version 15, in my refurbished computer. It's the CD version; so much of the stuff are missing, including an office suite. I didn't have a DVD-ROM drive on the system, thus I installed the CD version. On the CD version, I was displeased that I can't install Samba offline; I had to download it. Don't ask me why I don't want to download it, it's just my preference to be able to have a basic computer function like Samba on an official distribution, like a calculator, an office suite (again, was left out), and a file manager.
Fedora's website describes the DVD edition of the operating system as having more software than the CD version. Now, for those who have used the new Fedora and also used Samba, does it come installed, or do you have to go online to download it? I understand if you don't want MP3s or DVD decryption software, but how does LAN file-sharing count as something that's illegal?
I am trying to download the contents from [URL] to my local system for off-line browsing but am having little to no success. I have tried using wget and httrack, although I can download the directory structure there does not seem to me any sfw files.
I think I've installed MediWiki as you can see (I Just follow some steps from a site...)but whateveI done (Disabling SELinux) making /var/www/html/wiki/ and var/www/html/wiki/readable to my current user (even I make my regular user the owner of all directory and files in these folderes) but nothing happenthen according to some advice I changed the permission to 644 but I become worse and now I don't have the previous picture (on that at least the wiki theme could be seen sth ) but now I encountering this error message:
Code: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /wiki/ on this server.
I have 2 PCs, one of them is updated with latest updates. For sure the 2 PCs have the same OS Fedora 14. How to install or catch those updates in order for me to install them offline on the other PC ?
I have been using Fedora for a while now. When I try to watch movies or videos on the internet or offline a error message like the following: What should I do?
On my Linux box, (which is a proxy, webserver, mailserver, etc. etc. etc.) I use static IP's. Network manager is turned off, but when you do that Firefox ALWAYS has WORK OFFLINE checked. I could use Network Manager but that's not really the right way, cause I need the servers to work in level 3, etc. as well...Anyways, anyone know a way to make FF behave if I use Static IP without NM?
In Ubuntu I can easily transfer packages from offline machine into online machine using APTonCD feature. In fedora ,Is there anything similar by which I can transfer my packages of online machine into the offline machine
I've no internet in my home, But I wish to install some applications (Like VLC, WINE, ...) for my system. How do I download these installations files from another PC? If you can state the links of VLC & WINE, it'll be good.
For testing I made a debian 8 dvd 1 installation on an usb stick. I selected desktop gui gnome and lxde. Both work. An ethernet 100mb cabel connection works. I can open iceweasel an surf websites.
If I open synaptic package manager and select vlc for installation or press 'mark all upgrades' I get this message. Insert disk debian gnulinux 8 jessie official dvd bin in drive.
Synaptic does not try to get packages from the internet.
Is a debian 8 dvd 1 installation an off line installation? The package system will not connect to the internet?
Two nights ago I was trying to diagnose what was wrong with my internet connection. I couldn't get web pages to load, IRC and ssh weren't connecting, and email wasn't downloading (I still use POP3). I didn't know what to use to check my internet connection. I did a ping, but I didn't know how to interpret the results. So without the internet, I was totally blind.
Are there documents anywhere which install with Debian which I can search offline when my internet connection dies?
my friend does not have a internet connection, he require vlc (to watch movies) and g++(as c++ compiler). how he can install these softwares in his pc offline??
I've just finished my 100% total move from Windows after 2 years of developing on two different systems, one Slackware and one XP. I have come away from Slack because it was just taking too long to maintain the rapid advances in development tools and have now moved onto Ubuntu full time.
The last tool I was using on Windows was Dreamweaver, and not for editing (I had Bluefish for that) but for the HTML validation that worked offline. Thing is, I now can't find anything similar on Ubuntu. I've no idea how to get the W3C Validators working offline and the last two add-ons I tried with Firefox didn't work. Anybody know of any packages with reliable HTML and CSS validation that works offline? An offline link checker would also be useful.
when i upgraded my PC to 10.04, i had to add a new entry to the network interface file so it would connect to the Internet (auto etho etc.) since then firefox 3.6.3 always as being offline. each time i uncheck it then next time its offline again.
Tell me some way to upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04LTS to 10.10. But in Offline mode? is there any package or iso image or CD by which i can upgrade my offline PC?
I know I can build a local repository but I'd like to try just moving the appropriate .deb files. My problem is not knowing which files I need and it what order. Example... I want to install nfs-common
Doing apt-get install nfs-common --- does it all for me when I'm online. So I looked in the /var/cache/apt/archives to see what was installed. I found two nfs files... nfs-common_1.2.0-4ubuntu4.1_amd64.deb nfs-kernel-server_1.2.0-4ubuntu4.1_amd64.deb
But when I tried to install those on another machine I found I was missing additional files. libgssglue1_0.1-4_amd64.deb libnfsidmap2_0.23-2_amd64.deb librpcsecgss3_0.19-2_amd64.deb portmap_6.0.0-1ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb
For future installations. How do I find all the dependencies and the ORDER they need to be installed so I can write my own script and install them to a machine that is offline?
