I am running ubuntu 10.10 server edition as apt-cacher server. How ever we have both 10.04 and 10.10 editions in our office. I have imported the cd cache of ubuntu version 10.04 and it is working fine. Now i want to import the cd cache of ubuntu version 10.10, for that i have to setup different server or i can import the cd cache in same server in different location? If in different location, how to import the cd cache?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to configure a cron script to update the packages in /var/cache/apt-cacher/packages? When a client machine updates a package, apt-cacher checks that it's cached package is up-to-date, and downloads a new version if it is not.
I'd like apt-cacher to check it's cached packages every night and download any updated ones, on the premise that since it exists in the apt-cacher cache, someone has that package installed and is going to want to update it. Is this possible? Does apt-cacher do this anyway, and I haven't noticed?
i have just set up apt-cacher my file server to speed up package installs (and to reduce bandwidth use)
Im wondering if it is possible to use the apt-cacher with the mini iso, so each machine doesn't have to redownload the packages from the net?
I have used apt-cacher successfully for a long time on my home LAN. Its been great but after a recent server crash I decided to switch to apt-cacher-ng due to reports of lower memory footprint and faster response. Thats all well and good and after just a little mucking around it seems to be working.
But there are a few old (but still current) debs that I am having trouble importing into the apt-cacher-ng cache. Most of them were picked up after adding all the repos to my client and running apt-get update. But there are still a few that aren't.(the 2 biggest ones are from the same repo).My client machine runs apt-get update without fault but when I import (using the apt-cacher-ng web interface) it lists all the repos (including the one these debs should be in) but isn't importing any more of the debs. There are no errors showing.

I have two Ubuntu PCs at home and I found out about apt-cacher as a means of reducing internet usage for updates. (my connection speeds aren't that good). When I install apt-cacher, is it possible for anyone on the internet to use my PC as a repository? If so, how can I allow only computers on my LAN to access the apt-cacher cache?

I know JohnVV. "Install a supported version of Fedora, like Fedora 11". This is on a box that has all 11 releases of Fedora installed. It's a toy and I like to play around with it.
I was laughing about klackenfus's post with the ancient RH install, and then work has me dig up an old server that has been out of use for some time. It has some proprietary binaries installed that intentionally tries to hide files to prevent copying (and we are no longer paying for support or have install binaries), so a clean install is not preferable.
Basically it has been out of commission for so long, that the apt-get upgrade DL is larger than the /var partition (apt caches to /var/cache/apt/archives).
I can upgrade the bigger packages manually until I get under the threshold, but then I learn nothing new. So I'm curious if I can redirect the cache of apt to a specified folder either on the command line or via a config setting?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have looked at heaps of the citation software and have settled on using Zotero for a few months to really get a feel for it. One major barrier is how to import my (large) pdf collection into it in one easy step.
Goal: have zotero import my PDF library in one batch. (ubuntu 9.04)
1. I have tried to do it 1 at a time. The sun will explode before I get that done.
2. I have tried this work around without success: Drag and drop from Konqueror (KDE 3.5, opensuse 11.1) fails for me, too. A workaround to allow drag N drop is to use Firefox as a file browser (enter "file://<location_to_file>" as the URL), and to drag and drop from there. [URL]
Firefox cant find the directory
3. I have tried drag and drop as suggested on the Zotero forums (largely for windows users). No luck.
4. I have searched the web, with no other suggestions that have worked.
I have my data on an NTFS drive. When I try to import pictures from this drive, I only get an option for the drive. That is, I cannot choose a sub-folder from which to import. I understand I can tell F-Spot to use sub-folders, but I have many sub-folders with pictures, and I do not want all of them in F-Spot. Is there any way to import a single folder with F-Spot?
I have also tried drag and drop, but I have a hard time getting that to work as well.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been troubled by the high amount of RAM that is used by my Ubuntu desktop. Before I installed Ubuntu 10.04 (desktop, 64-bit) my system used around 500MB of RAM when no applications were open (just cold boot into the GNOME under 9.10). But when I installed Lucid, I've noticed that my used memory is now reported as 1GB or more as soon as I log into the system.
I want to figure out what is using all the extra RAM but I can't seems to find the culprit. I looked at all of the processes and numbers just don't add up. I exported the list of processes into a file and summed up the memory used by every process in a spreadsheet. The total came to around 700MB. Yet, both System Monitor and "free" reported the time that system was using over 1GB of memory. This means that at least 300MB of RAM are used but not by any process, at least as reported by "ps".
I was wondering if there is a way to know which files are in the linux page cache. I've searched but the only thing I've found is meminfo.Is there anything out there that can give more details regarding what is being cached?
