Ubuntu Installation :: Copying Repositories From A Computer To Another?
Feb 12, 2011
I'm using Ubuntu Maverick
On my university, the technology center uses the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I've been told by my teacher to get GCC for the C language. Searching for GCC on my netbook, I can find two programs: Sysinfo (why?) GGcov (doesn't open) Searching for GCC on the TC Computer, I can find 115 programs... The administrator wasn't there at the moment I checked this, and he'll not be there on this weekend so... I would like to do this by myself tomorrow. With my vast one-week experience with ubuntu, I think such software abundance from the TC computer side is related to repositories. I would like to copy them all to my netbook, if it's possible.

I have config settings on one computer that I like (spent a lot of time writing up easystroke commands, rating songs in Banshee, saving a bunch of wireless network configurations... etc etc.)
So much stuff that I might just like to copy my entire harddrive and all of my folders to an external hard drive and then replace everything on my new computer from there.

What is the best way to take individual git repositories and copy them up to a master git directory?
Edit:
This turned out to be a git clone command.

I just installed ubuntu because the newer versions were not working for me. So I installed 7.10 and there is no repositories that are still up. Is there any repositories that I could add from the newer ones or other distro repositories.

I got a problem with the motherboard of my computer and now I need to get some files out from the hard drive (an ext3 partition). I can access the files from another computer but because of the permissions of my user it doesn't let me copy the files over to another drive.
my computer was running Kubuntu 8.10 with a Vista dualboot. I also tried attaching the hard drive to another laptop, but because of the video drivers the display doesn't function properly.

I've lost some install disks which cannot be replaced and need to copy my entire /home/username/.wine to my laptop.
I already have installed wine on the laptop and it is the same version of Fedora (14) as is on my desktop.
Is it possible to mass copy the entire desktop /home/username/.wine, and copy it onto the laptop?
Do I do the copy as user or as root? I need to get everything, the system files registery and ProgramFiles etc. and then copy it on to the lap top with exactly the same permissions.
So I would, for example, type tar -zvcp allWine.tgz /home/username/.wine/*.*

I am trying to copy four files from my machine, through a second machine, and finally to the destination. The destination computer can only be reached through the second computer, and I am curious to know if there is an easy way to do this. I am able to ssh to the middle machine and then ssh from there to the destination. I know that I could just copy from the first machine to the second, and then from there to the third. I guess that I'm curious to know what kind of command I can run to do this all at once or even if I could do such a thing (which I'm betting I can). I need to copy these files as root on the destination machine too.

I am running Suse 11.1 64bit, with KDE, recently I received a pop up on my screen, "something about update problems", I used Yast 2 and selected online Update and it couldn't find updates for Nvidia and froze at that point. I dis-enabled that repository and refreshed all of the remaining Repositories individually and it seemed to work. I then went to the repositories listing and selected "Add" and selected "community" repositories and received the following: WARNING Unable to download list of repositories or no repositories defined. What is my problem? How do I acquire the list of community repositories? I can live with out the Nvidia repository for now but would eventually like to get it back.

I get this when I do gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
E: Malformed line 61 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (absolute dist) E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
When I do sudo apt-get update, I get this:E: Malformed line 61 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (absolute dist)
I do not have a line 61. I tried various suggestions in the forums and commented out lines in the past.
I would like to know what my options are?

I could not find libeXosip2 3.5 - perhaps it is not available in Synaptic package manager on my ubuntu (10.10).
I downloaded it libexosip2-3.5 from [URL] and tried to build
$> ./configure
$> make
libtool: link: gcc -g -pthread -DOSIP_MT -pedantic -DENABLE_DEBUG -g -DENABLE_TRACE -g -o .libs/sip_reg sip_reg.o ../src/.libs/libeXosip2.so -L/usr/local/lib /usr/lib/libosip2.so /usr/lib/libosipparser2.so -lnsl -lrt -lresolv -pthread

Just wondering if this is feasible/sensible. I'm running a server with 8.04 LTS server edition, and I'd like to upgrade to the latest version of sshd because the version included with 8.04 doesn't easily support chroots and I know it's simple to set up in newer versions. There's no official backport, and I don't want to upgrade the whole OS to 10.04 or 9.10, so I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade only the sshd package using a newer repository or something like that?

I installed the PinguyOS version of Maverick, but even after disabling all the repositories that came with it I still couldn't get this to work. Therefore this must be a problem with Ubuntu 10.10 itself, however if this problem does exist is Ubuntu, I'm surprised these forums are flooded with complaints. I've searched them up and down and I found nothing. Anyway, the problem is that I can't install digikam, this is the error I get: The following packages have unmet dependencies.
digikam : Depends: kdebase-runtime but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdepim-runtime but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libkde3support4 (>= 4:4.4.4) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libqt4-qt3support (>= 4:4.5.3) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: kipi-plugins but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
The problem here seems to be that the kde libraries that come with ubuntu are version 4.5 for everything. And it seems digikam 1.4 is built against kde 4.4.

I have Ubuntu 9.10 on my PC and am really happy with it. As you know, support ends in April. I can't upgrade to 10.04 or 10.10, tried several times, it just doesn't like my old video card. Money is really tight now, so can't upgrade the video card either OK, now my question. Are the repositories still available after the support date?

I'm in the midst of updating from my poky old Dell to a newer (3 yr old) HP laptop. I've completed most of the changeover, but I can't seem to add any repositories to Software Sources. When I attempt to enter the APT line into Synaptic, the only button that's clickable is "Cancel." This holds true even if I use sudo to run Synaptic from the command line.
I've also tried editing /etc/apt/sources.list directly, but when I enter the corresponding lines (cut and pasted from my old computer, to eliminate the chance of typos), I get a message that the newly inserted lines are "malformed."
I'm sure I've overlooked something simple, but I've been at this for two days now and I'm getting a bit frustrated (doesn't do much for mental clarity).

For some reason Sun Java 6 isn't in any of the standard repositories. Some sites recommend adding the old Maverick repositories to install it. I just know that adding an old repository is going to break something. Does anyone know when it will be in the standard repositories?

After my system was updated to Natty, even though Software Sources is set for LTS updates only, none of the repositories in Software Sources or /etc/apt/sources.list.d were updated. I have manually updated the Software Sources repositories, and removed the outdated repositories from /etc/apt/sources.list.d, but when I do apt-get update I still see references to previous Ubuntu versions. How do I update ALL the repositories?

I'm experiencing a strange issue with my Ubuntu 10.10 since a few days:when trying to update the packages list, a lot of repositories are ignored.Here is the output of
Code:
sudo apt-get update | grep -i ign
.

Ign http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main Translation-en
Ign http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main Translation-en_GB[code]....
How come all these repositories cannot be hit?is there any way to make the update hit there repositories? And if they're useless, no longer supported, how can I remove them so to have a tidy repositories list?

I've got a problem I've been trying to work out for a while. I have a 160gb drive, and only 15gb dedicated to Ubuntu's installation because of a screwup. I have very little resources at my disposal, as I'm using a netbook with no optical drive, and I can't seem to get the liveusb to work. It just stalls after the menu with an error message. I have no way to connect my machine to the internet, and I've been forced to transfer files from a friend's computer. I'm running out of ideas, but one I thought of was to copy the install partition over to the larger partition. I'm not sure if it's possible, or if it would make a larger install or just a copy of the same size. I just want some clarification on how I would solve this issue, even if my idea doesn't work.
