View 9 RepliesI'm trying to install debian in my surface pro but I can't get the network card configured. I installed Arch before and it's wpa_supplicant package was working just fine until the last update. I was wondering if I could download the wpa_supplicant for debian and all it's dependencies from my windows OS to be able to configure my wireless card properly in Debian.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm hitting my head against the wall trying to figure out (and find any information on) how to download a package and all its dependencies.I've tried to clean the cache,$ sudo apt-get clean and then download a package and its depednencies,but it doesn't download dependencies that are already installed.I need to do this to install a package on a machine that doesn't see the net.I remember doing this somehow ages ago, and I think I might have even combined the package and its dependencies into a single self-contained .deb using dpkg.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a script called "populator". This script will be run on a linux box with the single purpose to download a set of packages (i.e. "ubuntu-desktop" metapackage) to trigger the caching by a deb-proxy. The reason is to pre-cache the proxy in advance, thus reducing the amount of time to install the first production Linux box, not necessarily going to be installed immediately after deb-proxy deployment. As for now, the script is extremely rough and simple:
1. clean the apt-get cache
2. run apt-get install with specified parameters to force reinstall, download only, output urls
3. pass the url list to wget and throw everything in /dev/null
with the specified parameters the script does the job. The only problem regards dependency handling: they are downloaded just the first time, even after apt-cache clean. I need apt-get to re-download dependencies as well. THIS is the real need.
Script follows:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
# Script to pre-populate apt-get proxy for faster later downloads.
# It uses apt-get and wget to pull all the specified packages.

My question is how to dowload all these in interface folder instead of downloading one by one? Tried googling but no success.
is there a way to get urls of the packages that have been updated and then download them in another computer? like this feature of ubuntu HOWTO: Download package dependencies for offline installation - Ubuntu Forums
its a simple feature and its present in smart and synaptic,yet its not in yast (or i havent found it yet.
i would use smart package manager but in my home connection for checking for updates ,yast is better ( smart downloads filelist.xml.gz that is very way biger than what yast downloads (though it enables smart to show filelist of package BEFORE installing) .so at home i can check for package update with yast ,buy downloading them is very hard. (my connectioon is very bad (i live in iran) and yast mirrors are NOT the best of servers ,so yast gets interrupted in middle downloading a rpm and the whole process is waiting for me to press retry ,so i cant do updates and installs overnight.btw is there some way to tell it to retry always or a number of times automatically? )
i need the url links of rpms so i download them separately and install them.
what do I need to add to /etc/apt/sources.list? can't really understand the howtos and tutorials

It's not practical for me to take the desktop to the library...
