Ubuntu Installation :: Downloading Applications For Future Install?
Nov 4, 2010
I'm going round everyone I know installing Ubuntu on their computers whether they like it or not, and I must say so far they all like it except. I have to spend 5 hours downloading and installing all the software they need to make their system run 'as good as windows'.
I really need a whole bunch of popular programmes to put on a disk and install as I go. I know Ubuntu saves the downloads in a repository on the hard drive, but looking at it I am sometimes at a loss as to which folders contain which downloads, then there is the problem of multiple folders for one programme etc.or point me in the direction of a zipped up file with all the programmes a normal user might need.

I am considering buying a netbook and installing the netbook remix from a bootable USB. During the installation, does the installer give me the option to create a dual boot scenario and keep the windows 7 as a partition? If it does not, what is the best way to clone the windows 7 install and can I put it on a usb to boot and install from in the future?

I just switched to a faster isp with monthly usage limits. When I install a program using Synaptic, where are the install files stored? I'd like to save them for future use. Also, I'm downloading Conky right now to monitor usage.

I have noticed that when installing Jessie, the graphical installer downloads updates to packages while installing if connected via Ethernet to the Internet. Remaining disconnected solves this problem. Is there any way to avoid this and install without downloading files other than apt lists?

I'd like to find out if it's possible to download and store (not install) official Ubuntu installation files, and then choose to install them whenever. I don't always have internet available and having to be connected every time I want to install a program really sucks. What happens if I had to format or something and I just wanna install all my programs again but no internet connection? Is there also away I can back up my Ubuntu and when I restore, I get all my downloaded and installed programs back, without having to re-install?

I feel shy asking this question but, 90% of the applications I install in Ubuntu (last release), do not show up later on in the applications menu, so I cant run them. I know it seems silly, but I can't find the way to handle this inconvenience. Is there a place (like Start> All programs in Windows), were I could find and run all the programs I install?

Is there any way that i can install applications on any location (directory /partition) ? If we keep the installation file on other drive and just keep the link of that file/folder on root directory (/usr /bin /usr/sahre) then we can save our space of root directory. I found several times that my root partition is full after installing some applications. It is so painful to shrink or reallocation of root partition. Maybe this procedure of software installation will be helpful for the people who are already created low spaced root partition.

I have installed Lucid 10.04 server on an IBM eserver 325 dual boot with 2003. the cd rom drive on the server is starting to go out and the install worked but failed to install key applications and files. For examle- no VIM (just VI) and the apt sources.list file had one entry- the cd rom. I need to update all the packages necessary for the system to operate fully. ( I have tons of broken dependencies when trying to install SSHserver, Samba and other apps) I manually entered the muliverse and universe repositories in sources.list but this is not resolving the issues with the missing dependencies. I can get a new cd-rom drive but it will certainly take a week or two to get and I need to get this project going. I have some experience with Linux, but not enough to know if there is a magic command that I don't know.

Installed Debian Lenny on a Pentium 3 with 256 MB of ram and a 10GB hard drive. Used the "Expert Graphical" from the install menu. I did not choose any software packages when prompted from the list (the list with the checkboxes next to server, desktop ECT) because I wanted to choose individual packages to install afterwards. Had no issues, computer rebooted and I got to a login prompt.
Logged in as root, I ran "apt-get install" and installed gedit, blackbox from my main window manager, gdm, iceweasel and synaptic (some of these I installed after editing the sources.list file with more repositories.)
All of this is great, even though this computer is old.. I have a nice box to do internet browsing and IRC.
Here is what I do not understand, and I have never seen before in Linux. When I try to install Open Office, synaptic package manager says it "needs to uninstall iceweasel" browser and a few other files and programs. Also this happens if I try to install VLC player. Looks like the reasoning is because some applications are not compatible with others. Is this new? Again, I have never seen this before in Linux.

I'm setting up a large number of virtual machines, each with a basic set of about 30 applications. Obviously, I don't want to do everything manually so I'm looking for ways to automate this process. Multiple distributions (Ubuntu, Red Hat Ent., FreeBSD, CentOS, etc.) will be used, meaning I will have a few Ubuntu installs with the basic set of 30 applications, and multiple Red Hat installs with the same set, etc. So, I'm looking for advice on automating as much of this as I can, even if it means a new form of automation for each distro.

I have just finished installing Karmic on new computer. I have already installed java jre, flash plugin, and unrar/rar. My question is can I still install restricted extras to get addition applications installed, without corrupting my apps already installed? Or should I just manually install the remaining items from restricted extras manually?

I have attempted to install Opera by downloading the Deb file and running:
Code:
sudo dpkg -i oopera_10.10.4742.gcc4.qt3_i386.deb
The installation appears to complete itself successfully. However, when I come to then clicking on the new Opera logo in the panel menu, nothing happens. Even after a restart.
What could I be doing wrong? How should I launch Opera?

I have been experiencing problems with downloading the latest version Ubuntu 11 in my current Ubuntu 10.10 operating system.
I used the Update Manager and tried innumerable times but to no avail. It shows that my Internet connection is somewhat faulty. I have no problems with my Internet ironically.
I grudge to download the Live CD into my hard drive and then to manually burn it into a CD because I don't have one available in my hands. Is there any way to download Ubuntu 11 and install it successfully?

I have an old laptop, on which I want to Install kubuntu 6.06.1
So, I downloaded kubuntu-6.06.1-dvd-i386.iso
Unfortunately, for some strange reason the file has been corrupted. Fortunately, the corruption is limited to several bytes.
I know this because I downloaded the torrent and "checked" the file hashes. A total of 5 "pieces" are missing.
Unfortunately, there is no one to seed. None! I am the only guy sharing 99.8%.
share this DVD? I just need to download 5 MB (1 MB for each piece).

I just installed ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my Acer Aspire 5745. The installation was successful. However, I found that my internet is not working. Later I realised that there are no ethernet drivers. The one that I need is Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet controller(NDIS 6.20). My wireless is also not working. This one is a Broadcom 802.11n Network adapter.On googling, I found this thread : URL...
To install the driver first, I had to do build-essential and headers-generic. Since I have a desktop, i thought of manually downloading the packages on my desktop and then transferring it to the acer. But i came across many dependencies for build-essential, that is, I first had to install something else before build-essential. The dependencies led me to further dependencies and so on. Is there any way for me to get all the packages without downloading each individual ones?

I have a few questions related to the 'Save Session for Future Login' option you can check (and is checked by default) when you go to shutdown/restart/etc.
1) What exactly does checking this option and shutdown/restarting do?
2) Is there any way to have it unchecked by default?
3) Is there any way to completely remove the option?

Every time I try to use my update manager, it freezes when it gets to the point where it's supposed to download. The window goes blank, and I have to use xkill to get out of it. I'm able to update my system using apt-get upgrade just fine, but I would still rather have my update manager running. I'm using Ubuntu version 9.10.

Ubuntu Lucid 32-bit desktop machine. I run "aptitude update" and "aptitude safe-upgrade" manually from the command-line regularly to upgrade my machine. I usually don't pay that much attention to the downloading, but I noticed yesterday that aptitude appeared to be downloading four files simultaneously, rather than the one at a time that I've always seen. Would this be correct? How can I change that? I can't say I've ever noticed it before.
