Hi,
I'm a new user in Ubuntu. My internet connection is too slow to download or update Ubuntu software packages. Is there any way to install those via the offline mode if I could collect the software packages from my friends while they have a very fast internet connection.
Thanks.
4. Wait until it installed to your computer.
5. Do the same way to the other softwares.
Next you must add the ppa link address of every software you install before to the repositories.
1. Ctrl+Alt+T to open a Terminal
2. Insert command : sudo adds-apt-repository ppa: your-software-pa
3. Add all your software's ppa link address
4. Now update all your software with command : sudo apt-get update
More often you update, you won't need too much time or faster connection to download the updates 🙂
Download the entire Ubuntu repository using the apt – mirror.
# apt-mirror /etc/apt/mirror.list
After done, modify the server address /etc/apt/sources. List to localhost while everything remains the same.
Then link repository to www.
# mount –bind /var/spool/apt-mirror/mirror/ /var/www/
Start the apache web server
# /etc/Inuit. d/apache2 start
Then you can install any software using apt-get from the local repository.
