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.
View 9 RepliesIf 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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu 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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHave 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?

Trying to install graphics card driver for:

Using Administration -> Hardware Devices
I selected the recommended driver and clicked activate. Download started then failed with error message:
SystemError: Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...ntu3_amd64.deb Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.30 80]
Screenshot attached.
Tried several times now and the download doesn't even seem to start any more.
My Internet connection is 3 mobile broadband, which may have something to do with it, bit it seems to be working well at the moment.
How do i download and install updates? It says package not found.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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?

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?
is it possible to pause the downloading from terminal.n how can i resume from same status.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI, 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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.
