Ubuntu :: Upgrading Packets: Downloading But Not Installing Just Yet
Jan 25, 2010
If I were to download items from the Synaptic Packet Manager, download only not install, how would I then install them later? Where will the files be located?
I would like to know if the order is important when one install some packets at the same time. For example : apt-get install apache-ssl php4 php4-cgi libphp-adodb. If I start with libphp-adodb ( apt-get install libphp-adodb ) then apache-ssl ( apt-get install apache-ssl ), may some errors occur ? Should I respect the order which is indicated in the installation guide?
Say Ive installed a fresh copy of ubuntu on a new machine. I have an existing install on one machine. Due to restrictions on internet usage and access, I am unable to download all the softwares and packages from the internet onto the newly setup machine. Say I want to take some packages already installed on my pre-existing machine and install them on the new machine.
Ubuntu 10.04 and just installed it on this computer with Wubi. I had a previous version of Ubuntu on another computer and did some programming on it. My issue is that downloading a software package from the Ubuntu Software Center or the Synaptic Package manager rarely works. The download proceeds at 1000B/sec and when it gets to applying changes, it stalls out. Now, my Internet connection is solid and i can easily stream videos and download files at over 2 MB/sec.
I'm wanting to do a clean install but with a slow Internet connection it will take for ever to update and re-install my software from the Internet.Is there an easy way that I can use the packages that are saved in /var/cache/apt/archives with out hitting dependancy and version issues?
I mean, I have the latest version of ISO (Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat) downloaded on my computer and then i) made a startup USB disk using Ubuntu's built-in startup disk creator and ii) created a bootable CD drive with that downloaded ISO. Then whenever I tried installing it inside Windows*, I notice that the installer (Wubi) begins downloading the entire ISO from the Internet. I tried disconnecting the network but that returns an error and the installation stops. I remember my good days with installing Ubuntu Karmic Koala using Wubi on my computer. It never started downloading.
The problem appears to occur with Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04 (I don't care about Natty yet, though). I want to know why this happens. Since the entire ISO is here, why would it want to download the entire ISO from the Internet? It's impossible to let it download. Is there any possible solution to this problem? The reason I'm trying to install Ubuntu inside windows is that I don't want to mess with Grub. My brother installed Ubuntu on his hard drive in a separate partition and when he uninstalled it for some reason, he couldn't log in to Windows because grub was there and MBR was missing.
i have a linux server runnig oracle applications. i need to access this server from putty using ssh through internet. i did by registering my static ip with the dnydns.org and i am able to connect to the server. but now there is no security to authenticate any user as any one knowing the password can login to it.
i thought of configuring the firewall of linux server but the client ip`s are not static and they change continiously. so thought of keeping one more pc between the server and the router which will do the work of authenticating. but i am confuse as how to configure it to allow the packets coming from the internet after authenticating and to by pass the packets generated from internal LAN?
Have you had to download drivers for GNU/Linux and install them when some device didn't work? Except nVidia/ATi drivers I mean. Just like in Windows. Or the only driver you can download for GNU/Linux is a driver for videocard and all other are in always in the system?
I have a old mac G4 and I just recently installed ubuntu 10.10 on it. It doesn't recognize my wireless adapter at all so I get no wireless on the computer. I've never used any linux distribution in my life so I don't have any idea how to install drivers for it.
I want to try 11.04 from scratch but Ive been using 10.04 without problems and I�d love to have a perfect backup of the whole system before I try the new one and at the same time, transfer my 10.04 configuration to 11.04 (I did some changes using the terminal and input some "magic words" that I dont remember).
Is there any way to do this, or should I just backup my 10.04 (once you tell me how ) and then upgrade to 11.04?.
Is there a difference between installing 11.04 from scratch or upgrading from 10.04 btw?
Some info: I have 10.04 installed thru windows, so I wonder if I can just copy the wubildr and wubildr.mbr files and the ubuntu directory as a backup. That would solve the backup and upgrade problem, but I still would like to know how to do a proper backup.
I am trying to install phpMyAdmin using ssh (I use putty to connect to my Virtual Private server from my windows home computer)
I have managed to download the latest phpMyAdmin from sourceforge and I have renamed it to phpMyAdmin.tar.gz
Now I don't know how to install it. I have tried "apt-get install phpMyAdmin.tar.gz" but that gives me: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done E: Couldn't find package phpMyAdmin.tar.gz So I assume I should not use apt-get
If I went ahead and installed the Ubuntu 10.04 BETA version, would I be able to update it to the release version from within Ubuntu without having to boot from CD again (so just by the software updater)?
how to upgrade KDE to KDE4 4.3.5 after installing suse 11.2 I have searched for a single download link for the upgrade, but I cannot find it.My goal is to obtain the upgrade, which comes with a newer version of networkmanager.
I find my self abit stuck upgrading OpenSSL to the latest version. The situation is that i've been running LAMP servers just fine by installing the web services from the repositories AND the web services from source. However im now in the process of making a PCI-DSS compliant server LAMP server. I've just had the vulnerability scan report back and its failed due to the OpenSSL having vulnerabilities and it tells me I must upgraded to version higher 1.0.0d.
I've basically spent hours and hours trying to get this working along with research but I dont seem to be having much luck with this one

My question to the community is should I preform a fresh install of OpenSuSe 11.2 or upgrade my current version of OpenSuSe 11.1? As of current I just use my system to surf the web check, email and Basic Business needs. The specs of my Laptop are:
OS Information OS: Linux 2.6.25.20-0.4-default i686 Current user: jraglin@Jada System: openSUSE 11.1 (i586) KDE: 3.5.9 "release 49.1"
I have a hardware device with two ethernet ports, eth0 and eth1 running Centos 5. Basically my goal is to forward packets from eth0->eth1 and eth1->eth0 as well as get a copy of these packets for analysis. If I set IP routing to do the forwarding then I won't get a copy of the packets for analysis.
i am trying to upgrade to ubuntu 10.04 from 8.04, and am getting this warning:"Upgrading may reduce desktop effects, and performance in games and other graphically intensive programs.This computer is currently using the AMD 'fglrx' graphics driver. No version of this driver is available that works with your hardware in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.Do you want to continue?"should i continue? i have no idea what a 'fglrx graphics driver' is
I am using a NanoStation 2 in Router mode.The NS is connected wirelessly to my neighbor's router and a switch is connect via ethernet to the NS for LAN use.
The past few days I'm trying to use a VoIP client software to connect to my VoIP account.I use Ekiga Softphone to do so, which requires UDP ports 3478-3479 and 5000-5100 to be open.
So I have opened these ports both on my neighbor's router and on the NS.The problem that I'm encountering is that although I manage to register to the VoIP service, when I answer an incoming call the caller is able to hear me, but I'm not able to hear the caller.So I used wireshark and figured that there is no incoming traffic on my end.
I have used many linux VoIP clients with PCs connecting straight forward to an ADSL router and worked perfectly.
I've setup ufw rules on my system but noticed that the rule i created to allow traffic from my local network is still dropping some RST and ACK packets. here's part of the output of dmesg
I am new to Ubuntu almost installed it after windows showed blue screen 4 ever n ever. However after installing ubuntu whenever I log in windows it doesnt detect any network connection but when I use Ubuntu it automatically does can it be that Ubuntu is causing any problem? And how to check how many packets are being sent and received through my wired network and do I have to install any drivers for my modem in Ubuntu.
I am using ubuntu 9.10. Configuring my firewall using guarddog. I have setup a rule to allow traffic OUT on port 7078 UDP, and just because i'm having problems i added an IN rule.
# Create the filter chains # Create chain to filter traffic going from 'Internet' to 'Local' ipchains -N f0to1
i got major problems with mencoder.I work like this.1.) Demux Audio.2.) 2 Passes Encode. The second Encode includes the Audio.And there i got the problem:Too many audio packets in the buffer: (4100 in 1043395 bytes).Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.I tried likely anything possible.How to fix that ?Before that i got the issue with demuxing the audio where i got a massive amount of "Too many buffered pts" errors. I overcame this by adding the nocorrect-pts option.
I have a problem with video, when I see video with avi format, in longtime have problem it is not smooth normal. will I what packets install more to fix it.
