Ubuntu :: Downloading Only With Apt-get?
Jan 15, 2010
I know apt-get has a switch to make it download only. Then, I guess the packages can be installed later using dpkg -i ? But...
Where are the packages put when using apt-get to download only? Can I specify where to put them when I use the apt-get command? What if there are required packages to meet dependencies?... are they stored in the same place automatically? If I install later using dpkg, do I have to explicitly install the dependency packages or will they be pulled in from the same directory automagically at the time of install?

I've been trying to download DJL for a while now and I keep getting error messages. I've been looking at instructions on how to do it and I do what they say. I download it and then I extract it. I think I'm getting confused on where I need to extract it to. I'm very new to this and I'm trying to learn. I've been extracting it to my desktop... then I enter into the terminal sh djl.sh and it gives me sh: Can't open djl.sh. I have the newest version of Ubuntu.

I downloaded the Ubuntu file via the website and it was a Rar file. So I then extracted this file and there is no Iso file in there. Was it suppose to be a rar file and where the hell is my iso file? I want to know as I want to test ubuntu first via a disc before installing it.

I am struggling with downloading ubuntu 10.10 on to computer. I want to keep my windows 7 operational. I have downloaded ubuntu onto a CD. I have partitioned my C drive to install. Has 61GB space free. I expected a box to come up when installing that allowed me to install along side windows but none did. Only 2 options available, one to use whole disk space which I presumed would erase windows or 2, to do it manually (advanced) dreaded words for me!. What am I doing wrong? or what do I need to do. Also have just joined this site and have to say took me a while to work out how to post a message. Maybe some simple box to point new users to gat quick answers to their problems?

I Installed Ubuntu 9.10 on April 12th On April 14th I got a screen message advising me to download and install 257 update programs.The download got up to at least program 241. That�s the last one I remember seeing.Then the screen brightened for about one second and I got a message saying that Ubuntu had to be restarted to finish downloading.I restarted and this is the screen I got.

I've stopped the download several times already due to it being so slow. I resumed the downloading at file 1991 (out of 2046 files....) but it's not budging from there. Are there really so many downloads going on today it is making it hard to download?

My update manager is not downloading anything. However when I click the view files individually I notice "hit" and "failed" at the start of each download.
I ran this code:
apt-get update
output:
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the list directory

Note: Not upgraded yet, still using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx.Recently I've had a strange problem with my internet connection. When downloading something I am unable to use the internet with other net clients. An example, this morning I was downloading a very large set of backup files from an online server where I store backups. The files totalled 1.5 GB and I was downloading them using a SFTP client called FileZilla - during the download I was UNABLE to access the internet using Firefox, pages did not load at all - NOT slowly, but NOT at all, the "can't find the server" message was displayed by Firefox.LikewiseThunderbird was not able to check/download email. Confirmation that no internet access (other than FileZilla) was possible was shown by trying to 'ping google.com', the response "ping: unknown host google.com". During all this FileZilla was downloading very happily and quickly and as soon as the downloads finished everything worked as normal.
The problem is not limited to FileZilla, when downloading a file with Firefox the same problem occurred. It is as if when downloading something all other net connections are put on hold including DNS lookups. In the past my internet connection might slow down as a result of downloading but I'd still be able to access the web and email just slower as a result of the download. This problem has only started happening in the last week or thereabouts.

I know that the question could sound weird but...I was wondering if is possible to download one or more parts of a file.
For example, the first 10 mb, or the latter ones.
I know that there are some apps that let you do segmented downloads, but, is there anyone that let you choose the segment to be downloaded? If not, can this be accomplished with any linux command-line application?

I've been using PAN for quite some time - recently installed 0.133 from the Ubuntu software centre. Worked fine for a while, no issue. Then, a week or so, it started downloading .msg files in company with the binary files I was getting. Sometimes one .msg file for one binary, sometimes quite a few. It seems to have some correlation to the size of the binary, that is the larger the binary, the greater the number of .msg files were downloaded.This morning, it would ONLY download .msg files. I could see the decoded binary in the PAN viewer pane, but it isn't present on my system. I have made NO changes to any configuration files, other than installing the recommended updates.
How do I correct this?Can anyone tell me what these .msg files are, and how to stop them from downloading?Are there as-good or better newsreaders out there that I can/should try?

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.

I, like many people, don't have access to fast internet at home (only 56k). That makes downloading the hundreds of mb of data impossible. But, like pretty much all of those same people, I do have access to local libraries. So, I would like to know the best way to download updates at a library, then come back and install them with ubuntu.The version is 10.04 32-bit, and is 100% stock (just installed from CD), and I want to bring it up-to-date.

I'm tring to download an iso image that's over 3GB. The file is hosted at several ftp mirrors. Is there a way to download the file from several of these mirrors simultaneously so that I can reduce the D/L time? Presently, it's will take close to 24hrs to D/L from just one mirror. I have a 25Mbps connection so my bandwidth is not an issue.

I've recently switched to Ubuntu and everything runs perfectly except whenever i'm downloading a torrent in Ktorrent or Transmission it will download for about 5 minutes and then my system will just completely shut off.one tell me why this might be happening? It usually happens whenever it get's above a 2mbps download speed. In windows, however, I can get up to 20mbps and my computer won't even lag... let alone crash.

I'm trying to create an archive of a websites images because it tends to go offline now and then. The problem is, when going to the image in full view, it opens it on a php webpage. I've tried using 'wget -m -A.jpg' but it only saves the thumbnails from the menu page instead of the actual images.

How to set up a script to log on to a server through SSH, copy file from the server to the local machine, and then run a script on the downloaded file. More specifically, I've got a minecraft sever that is run on ubuntu.
I know that I can do
# ssh username@ipaddress
to log on to the server through the terminal.
After this it asks me for a password. Once I type in the password I have access to the directories on the server. How can I set up a script to log on to the server and enter password? Once I do this, how do I automate it to copy a file from that server to ~/Desktop? If I can do this, I have a script that will run from there.
I've learned that I can do
scp -r remoteuser@remotebox:/remote/directory /local/directory to copy files from a server to my local machine, but it still asks me for the server password. how do I make it so that the password is automatically entered?

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 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?

Is there any other different new downloading methods on ubuntu besides torrents? I know newsgroup I used it on windows but anything for free? I've tried the free newsgroup server with sabnzbd but those are useless now since they don't work. I was reading about rss feed nzb downloading? how does that work?

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).

Just bought a sony HDR-XR150 high def handycam. Thought since it had a USB connection (no firewire) that it would just mount as a drive and I'd be able to download the videos no problem. Well, it turns out it's a big problem... all the apps capable of talking to video cameras seem to only be able to use firewire. The camera does indeed mount as a drive but none of the video files I found seem to work... I get some video on some of the files from vlc but no sound and nothing seems to be able to transcribe the video. I'm currently on kubuntu 9.10 64 bit (2.6.31-20-generic)
Update: Found a series of .mts files on the camcorder. Nothing would read them properly except kdenlive -- seems to be the only thing that works!
