| cliffhanger | Does any1 know if I can upgrade a 32bit version of ubuntu 2 64bit without doing a fresh install? (looking 4 a way so that I don't lose my programs) | 21:16 |
| jpds | cliffhanger: I think it is possible, but I won't bother with the effort. | 21:18 |
| jpds | cliffhanger: What are your programs? Packages you've installed? | 21:21 |
| cliffhanger | I've installed a lot of packages... so i wont detail, basically had to waste a week getting the right packages to install on my machine to get audio and wlan, etc... some1 recommended I use dpkg or Synaptic and then later download them on another computer. how does this work? | 21:28 |
| cliffhanger | is there any way to sort of make a list of all my installed packages so that it can download them all in another computer, or something similar?? This might help me... | 21:31 |
| jpds | cliffhanger: "dpkg --get-selections" does exactly that. | 21:32 |
| jpds | Well, that will output all the packages you have installed. | 21:32 |
| cliffhanger | Thanks that's great, but how do I later download them? | 21:33 |
| jpds | To reinstall all the packages in that list, you just have to run: dpkg --selections < fileyousavedthelisttoo.txt and then run: sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade | 21:33 |
| jpds | cliffhanger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReinstallingSamePackages | 21:35 |
| cliffhanger | Thanks jpds, I'll go try it right now. | 21:35 |
| jpds | (You will need a net connection to redownload the packages). | 21:35 |
| cliffhanger | jpds: There's so many that it won't display the whole list, it dosnt fit in the terminal apparently, it just shows from the M down to the Z packages. | 21:38 |
| jpds | cliffhanger: Try: dpkg --get-selections > installed_packages.txt | 21:40 |
| jpds | cliffhanger: That will put the output into a new file: installed_packages.txt | 21:40 |
| cliffhanger | It worked! Thanks Again! | 21:41 |
