I used to copy deb packages from /var/cahe/apt/archives to make my own local repository. Now I realized that apt cleans up /var/cahe/apt/archives after each package installation. How can I force apt to keep downloaded files?
Distro: Kubuntu 17.10
PS
Pleas note that this question is different. Removing packages immediately after download (rather than using an age, size restriction) is quite different policy controlled by different configuration parameters.
I'm trying to upgrade packages, every time I ran sudo apt-get upgrade process freezes at setting up dnscrypt-proxy:
Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils (0.22-1ubuntu1) ...
Processing triggers for mime-support (3.54ubuntu1) ...
Processing triggers for ureadahead (0.100.0-16) ...
ureadahead will be reprofiled on next reboot
Setting up dnscrypt-proxy (1.4.0-0~oldconf2+trusty1) ...
Then I have to kill apt-get , rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock.
I also tried removing package.
How can I configure an Ubuntu server installation to provide internet access to private network, such that machines on the private network can access the internet through the Ubuntu server? The machine has two NICs of course.
I've forgot my GPG password. But I have a backup of private key. Can I restore my password from backup file of secret key ?
I've lost my GPG key which was used to sign my PPA. So, I generated a new key and deactivated old one in Launchpad.
Now, I would like to change the key which is used to sign repository. Currently the ppa is unavailable duo to invalid GPG signature.
My PPA: https://launchpad.net/~soroush-r/+archive/geopsy-deb
I moved from Archlinux to Kubuntu 12.04 yesterday.
I compiled buildroot 2012.08 on Archlinux without any problem. Though on Kubuntu libcrypt seems to be broken. sysvinit can't find it anywhere. glibc-dev and all dependencies are installed.
How do I link to libcrypt? Or, which package containts that library?
...
bc-gcc sulogin.o -o sulogin
sulogin.o: In function `main':
sulogin.c:(.text+0x49d): undefined reference to `crypt'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I have lost the GPG keys I use for Launchpad and email encryption, along with my entire ~/.gnupg folder. Can I recover them using the public key?
I'm making Ubuntu packages from the source code of a geology program. I can make deb packages on my PC, and also Launchpad is able to make binary packages for 32-bit OS.
I noticed a strange behavior of Launchpad. It makes both development (libfoo-dev) and shared library (libfoo) from the uploaded source code for i386 although it makes only binary package for amd64 from same code. Looking at i386 and amd64 build logs, I found that for amd64 debian/rules binary-arch is called instead of debian/rules binary. This causes my source not to generate a development package for amd64.
How can I solve this issue? Build logs and package sources are available in ppa:soroush-r/geopsy-deb in case you want to take a look.
Well, I have a launchpad account and a just set up a PPA.
Since I don't have generated source packages, I'd like to upload my binary packages to the PPA.
Though it seems not possible... Is there a way to avoid create source packages?
I do a mistake when trying to move files from one location to another. Now all files are moved, but there is a * concatenated at the end of all names.
How do I remove all *s from end of file names in command line?
Note: I'm working with an embedded system, there is not any Internet connection. Please provide solutions with no need to install new stuff.
Thanks in advance
I have a very weak machine (i486 with 512 MB of RAM) and want to install last Ubuntu server release on it. When I try to install ubuntu server 11.10 (32 bit) , installer says the architecture needed is i586 but only found CPU is an i486.
If there is no i486 ubuntu available, how can I recompile kernel with i486 optimization and replace it with default kernel of installer?
I'm trying to connect an ISA proxy server with CNTLM. But syntax of ISA proxy looks different. I can't find a way to set proxy for apt. my CNTLM is listening on 127.0.0.1:41040, and /etc/apt/apt.conf is like this:
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://urmia.ac.ir\username:[email protected]:41040/";
Which urmia.ac.ir is the domain of ISA in my university. I'm getting 407 error. CNTLM says
HEAD: HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. )
I would like to cleanup my local repository after each upgrade. When I add newer version of packages to pool and regenerate indexes with dpkg-scanpackages, program warns about old versions of packages (in case -m option is not passed):
dpkg-scanpackages: warning: Package php5-common (filename pool/local/php5-common_5.3.6-13ubuntu3.3_amd64.deb) is repeat but newer version;
dpkg-scanpackages: warning: used that one and ignored data from pool/local/php5-common_5.3.6-13ubuntu3.2_amd64.deb!
I'm looking for an automated way to safely remove old packages from disk. I'll call such a script safe if it do not delete an old package if a newer version is available and removing old version will cause an unmet dependency in local repository
I want to configure proxy authentication in KDE. in proxy setting there are two choices available: Prompt as needed and Username/Password. but last one is disabled...

I've installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my Dell 5010. It gets too hot. (between 85°C and 90°C in idle). I searched around and found this question. but the solution doesn't worked for me.
I think there is a problem with XOrg. It takes between 10% and 20% of CPU all times. I wonder if it's normal or not. Also there is a process named virtuoso-t sometimes takes 25% of process, when CPU usage of over 25%. (I guess one core is completely consumed by it). I always kill the virtuoso-t and don't know what is that.
What should I do now?
I want to do something to prevent Banshee from start in KDE (even accidentally)
Edit: I want to do somehow lock the banshee in KDE. (/bin/banshee be only valid in gnome.)
Hello
There is a known bug with ATI driver (fglrx) and gnome-shell, I know. Just wondering why I can play 3D games with high graphic features using same driver (version 11.11)? also there is no problem with graphical effects of KDE and other programs using graphical environment, but there is problem with very simple effects of gnome-shell?. What is special with gnome-shell?
Note: There are some success stories around... Nothing worked for me. I tried removing fglrx, installing the 11.11 driver downloaded from AMD, disabling tear effect in catalyst control center (with and without administrative privileges), disabling VSync in compize setting ......
Note 2: I've installed Ubuntu 11.10 amd64 on Dell Inspiron N5010. Graphic card is ATI HD mobility radeon 5470.
I need to download all packages I already installed on Ubuntu 11.10 x64. There should be in /var/cache/apt/archives I know, but there are only 300 Mb of deb files. I installed a lot of development packages that there are not there right now. I think system cleans the cache automatically!
Now I want to download all packages installed on system, else than packages that are installed by default.
I recently installed Ubuntu 11.10. In distrowatch the version of Qt is 4.7.4. In installation is 4.7.4 too. But I think it's not the real Qt 4.7.4! Because there is no Persian translation in /usr/share/qt4/translation. In archlinux everything is ok but in Ubuntu Qt looks to be 4.7.3 :-/
