Ubuntu Installation :: Build An Upgrade CD With Apt-get?
Jun 16, 2011
Using Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS. I have only command-line on this. I have limited band-width were box is located. After a fresh install I'll want to update the install. Is there a way to after the inital install to get a file or script file of everything it wants to upgrade with all dependencies, take may laptop with this info to another high-bandwidth location get the pacakges burned to a CD, then return to the server and tell it to update from the CD.
After that's done I could update as usual, it's that first update that's usually the big one.
On my opensuse 11.1 system. I used my tp-link tl-wn321g usb wireless adapter to access the internet. It runs on rt2501 chipset and I used the serial monkey rt73 driver from here.

What I did was I installed the kernel-headers, kernel source, gcc and make. And then I cd to the module directory and did
Code: make make install modprobe rt73
[Code].....
I installed "ralink-firmware-1.1-1.5.noarch.rpm" from Software.openSUSE.org. I tried "make" again, but still the same error return.

And then I configured the network with yast.
That was until I upgraded to 11.2 using the guide here.

The upgrade went well, but I could no longer use my wireless adapter. I tried installing the driver again but when I tried to run "make", it says
Code: make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.31.8-0.1-pae/build: No such file or directory. Stop. rt73.ko failed to build! make: *** [module] Error 1
I've checked that kernel-headers, kernel-source, gcc and make are all installed.

Now that we are starting to face the reality of Vista/Win7 implementations, we will need to do an upgrade of Samba to enable functionality. I am having difficulty in upgrading our version of Samba (3.3.4), as I compile from source, and do not use binary distributions. I'm running Slack12 and could really use some help on how I can build samba from source and UPGRADE it easily?
I have an init script running as a special build user which performs an automated build that fails with (Too many open files).I updated /etc/security/limits to allow the special user more open files, but that didn't work - the init script still isn't allowed more open files.Here's a demonstration of the problem;
I'm in love with my Opensuse 11.2. Love my KDE 4.4. The only thing I miss from my Ubuntu installation, is the ability to use Boxee. I would be more than willing to compile Boxee from source. I only have 2 problems with that:
1) I don't know where I can find all the build-deps or what they are for that matter to build Boxee.
2) I'm running on a Netbook. Yes, my measly Intel Atom is no fun for compiling and building.
What are my options/what can I do to get Boxee up and running on 11.2? I've tried searching on build service for an RPM, but I think due to legal restrictions, Boxee can't be on there.
looking for LIBEVENT... configure: error: Package requirements (libevent >= 2.0.10) were not met: In order to build transmission 2.21.I need libeventnew version of transmission,I need to build libevent-dev >= 2.0.10 and installed first.But I can't get any information about building development files for libevent.
as I'm advancing in building some nice rpm I finally wanted to install on of my gems also the build was successful the actual install fails with missing dependencies.
Code:
$ rpm --root /home/sascha/rpmbuild/ -i ./RPMS/x86_64/memcached-1.4.1-2.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libc.so.6()(64bit) is needed by memcached-1.4.1-2.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) is needed by memcached-1.4.1-2.x86_64
I have been trying to install build-essential package on Ubuntu-11.x in the production environment, which is not connected through Internet. When I run apt-get install command, it gives me errors such as:
Depends: libc6-dev but it is not installable Depends: gcc but it is not installable and so on
I have checked these packages through "dpkg get-selections" command and i believe that they are already installed (probably virtual packages) in the system. Please let me know the quick way to complete this installation.
Trying to install SW 13.1 (on DVD) on the following system: M/B Intel: DX38BT Processor Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 - 2.66GHz, 8MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB, Socket 775 Memory Corsair Dual Channel 8192MB PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz Memory (4x2048MB) Graphics Diamond Radeon HD 3850 Video Card - Viper, 512MB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.0 P/S Ultra 1000W
My goal is to install the i386 build on one partition and the 64-bit build on another. I have been away from Linux for a while and am sick to death of Win7, want to come home. :-}
Booted on i386 side of DVD, system freezes after a couple of lines that start with ATA2. Does not respond to 3 finger salute, ctrl-c, nothing. Have to press reset. I have tried both huge.s and hugesmp.s kernels
Booted on 64-bit side, comes up fine. I performed the install, selected for automatic lilo install. Lilo install hung but I was able to reboot. I booted off the 64-bit side again, entered the following: huge.s root=/dev/sde3 rdinit= ro It booted fully to the login prompt but the keyboard does not work, no input.
I keep getting the following msg as I try to upgrade from 10.04 -> 10.10 ... "Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report." I don't think any of the issues above apply - can anyone offer advice on how to get around or "force " the upgrade
I work at a small company where we use to deploy things by just checking out the repo and copying stuff to production servers. This has to come to an end, enter .deb packages!
So I'm wondering what's the best procedure to do that. I already know how to create .deb packages, most of our stuff is Python and we're going to use python-support and cdbs. But how to maximally automate this?
We have a Git repo and ideally the whole thing should work like this:
* a tag is created in the Git repo (the version can be provided manually)
* some file like 'version.py' is created so that setup.py and the packaged software can refer to it and know the tag
* changelog is created from the Git commit logs
* the package is built (that's the part I've worked out - python-support and cdbs are involved here)
* optionally, the package is uploaded somewhere
There's a .deb package named 'git-buildpackage', is it suitable for this task? So far I can tell that it has one drawback - it looks for the 'debian/' directory in the root of the repository, which is not the case - our repo consists of several subdirectories, each contains a subproject that will be packaged independently.
I'm doing web development on my laptop and I need to use the stable version of Firefox 4. The problem is that my laptop (acer aspire 5000) is running lucid* and there is no stable Fx4 in the repo. I do have the firefox nightly, but I would like to have a stable Fx4 too.Is there a ppa or should I attempt to build a .deb myself? Does anybody know if there is a lot of work to do that, or has anybody here done it themselves?
We are looking to distribute an internal product as .deb files in a private repository and I am looking for a comprehensive guide for doing this.
We are already building the .deb files and now would like to create a (couple ?) of environments to separate out development/testing/staging and production work.
Can I get pointed to:
1. The right place to post this question (if this is incorrect).
2. Assuming this is the right place to ask and a guide exists, a link to the guide to set this up correctly.
3. If there exists no guide, a place where I can start/put a guide.
While upgrading to a newer version of Ubuntu I noticed a warning saying that the installation/upgrade should not be interupted. Unfortunately though, during this process my computer froze up and I had to shut it down. Ubuntu no longer starts on my computer. I still have Windows though, which is what I'm using now.
I've just upgraded from Asus M2N32-Sli Mobo Athlon 4200+ 3GB RAM Nvidia discreet graphics Creative sound to Asus M4A88TD-V Evo Mobo Athlon 640 X4 4GB RAM ATI Built it graphics Built in sound
I'm using SUSE 11.3 KDE4 installing from Live CD. I managed to boot into my existing linux install using failsafe and from there I figured the drivers would need sorting out. I managed to get the sound sort of working and then I installed the latest kernel and the ati rather than nvidia drivers. Now it wont boot a GUI at all, but Windows works fine. I have 3 kernels installed (old PAE, new PAE, Old default) one will boot into a console where I can access yast and tried to remove the ATI driver but it didnt make it work again. Startx hangs the system unless logged in as root, when it throws and error saying see xorg.org or some similar x website. Nothing on the install partition is important, all data is on the same HDD but on different partitions which I need to keep but can access from windows if I need to right now. I tried to reinstall from the Live KDE CD but it hangs, have tried to use the defaults, VESA graphics, text mode, No ACPI, PNPBIOS=off but still won't boot live CD or install. Cannot even get the "media test" to work, altho memtest runs fine.
i am trying to build a EC2 image using VMBuilder and it keeps failing. i read and it seems that i need to install GRUB version 1 instead of 2. i tried to find documention on how to replace it but no luck. i am no expert in Linux.
I'm having headaches about not being able to install build-essential on my 9.10. I don't have an internet connection and no CDrom. [URL]. So that solves it if you have a CD drive... What to do if a poor fella (like me) was to have a system with no CD drive? I installed from USB PENDRIVE and I suppose there have to be some command corresponding to apt-cdrom but for the USB drive but I can't find one.
I would like to install pymedia on my ubuntu 9.10 karmic distribution, but I am having a bit of a hard time doing that.I managed to install all the libraries (lame, libogg, libvorbis etc.) but when trying to run 'python setup.py build' I get an error (Shown at the end).I found on the interwebs that it may have to do with the version of gcc c++ compiler running (currently gcc-4.4) and that it only works with gcc-3.x. Therefore I downloaded gcc-3.4 (from the old jaunty archive), and with this one still no joy.NebelhomP.S. I am not a complete newcomer to linux and python but I am not an expert so it may happen that I ask questions with a very obvious answer.

I have build-essential, but make command not working I have build-essential package, but there is still a problem with make command. When I run it in a directory, it shows following message: mudassar@javaDev-1:~/Desktop/gwget-0.99$ make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. When I explicitly specify a make file, the following message appears:
In order to get my Ubuntu system up and running on the Internet I need to install Sakis3g, and when installing, the system does not pick up ./Configure. My first thought was that the Build Essentials were not present but turns out that they are already installed, so now I'm at a dead end as I cannot finish my install. Has anyone else had any problems similar to this one?
Today is my first day to use ubuntu for my C++ programming. However, when I was trying to install build-essential, it failed. This is the output shown:

I am trying to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 beta. I tried ALT-F2 & ``update - manager -d'' but when Upate Manager opened, it did not give me the option of upgrading to 10.04 beta.
I am having trouble in configuring xorg.conf. I am running Suse 11.3 desktop on my PC. Also, I have one onboard nvidia graphics 6150SE and I have put one nvidia 8400GS 512Mb in the 16X PCIe slot for the additional seat...
So kindly tell me what should I do now or what things are missing ?? For any further info abt my PC plz tell me to post outputs(specify the commands for the same..)
I am trying to install gnome-mplayer to see if I update it, for he not catching more when I play the videos, and it is asking me to have at least one "backend "to compile Pango. I do not understand this output. Have you tried installing the source Cairo.ttf but solves nothing. Cairo is installed as described but do not understand this output.
