| superfly | hi nuvo | 07:07 |
| Kilos | morning superfly and all of ya thats online | 07:25 |
| Kilos | i have my own repo of karmic at /media/2G/mav-update. how do i tell this new maverick install to look there for the updates please? | 07:31 |
| Kilos | not karmic sorry. maverick | 07:32 |
| Kilos | i cant get cp /media/2G/mav-update to copy everything to /var/cache/apt/archives | 07:33 |
| Kilos | last try was from libnautilus and this one is from libparted. everything before that doesnt copy | 07:34 |
| Kilos | i cant do sudo apt-get upgrade online i dont have bandwidth to spare | 07:37 |
| Kilos | or is there a way i can point apt-get upgrade to the flash drive | 07:38 |
| Kilos | the command i use to cp is sudo cp -r /media/2G/mav-update/* /var/cache/apt/archives but it copies nothing before libp... | 07:43 |
| Kilos | is this a maverick thing? the same command worked kiff with karmic | 07:46 |

| inetpro | Kilos: post the output of the following on pastebin: ls -la /media/2G/mav-update /var/cache/apt/archives | 08:07 |
| Kilos | ty inetpro good morning | 08:10 |
| Kilos | http://slexy.org/view/s21l6qwzMy | 08:11 |
| Kilos | root the boss of everything | 08:11 |
| inetpro | hmm... that didn't help much | 08:13 |
| inetpro | would be different with ls -la /media/2G/mav-update/* /var/cache/apt/archives/* | 08:13 |
| Kilos | ok sec | 08:14 |
| inetpro | hang on | 08:14 |
| inetpro | that list is way to long | 08:14 |
| inetpro | pointless | 08:14 |
| inetpro | ls -ld /media/2G/mav-update/ /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 08:15 |
| superfly | I wonder if the number of packages is just too much for cp ? | 08:15 |
| superfly | remember that * is expanded by bash | 08:15 |
| inetpro | superfly: right | 08:15 |
| superfly | maybe use xargs or something | 08:15 |
| inetpro | or rather stick to rsync | 08:15 |
| Kilos | http://slexy.org/view/s20WwEwtKa | 08:16 |
| Kilos | oops | 08:16 |
| Kilos | thats only three lines must i paste it still? | 08:19 |
| Kilos | http://slexy.org/view/s21uLECPLF | 08:19 |
| inetpro | Kilos: nee man | 08:20 |
| inetpro | :-) | 08:20 |
| Kilos | hehe die maverick maak my moeg | 08:21 |
| Kilos | en dis so lekker | 08:21 |
| inetpro | Kilos: ek dink nie jou probleem lê by maverick nie | 08:21 |
| inetpro | Kilos: as superfly mentioned, you have to many files in the folder | 08:22 |
| Kilos | those commands work perfect with karmic can do a clean install and upgrade with no downloading at all | 08:22 |
| Kilos | its 913m | 08:23 |
| inetpro | Kilos: find /media/2G/mav-update/ -type f | wc -l | 08:23 |
| Kilos | but the command to to flash worked fine | 08:23 |
| Kilos | says 1109 | 08:24 |
| Owkkuri | I know it's a bit of a hack, but what about doing the copy incrementally? | 08:24 |
| Owkkuri | say a* b* c* etc | 08:25 |
| inetpro | in fact the number of files are not even necessarily the only problem but even the combined length of file names | 08:25 |
| Kilos | can i rsync from the flash to /var/cache/apt/archives | 08:25 |
| inetpro | Kilos: rsync /media/2G/mav-update/ /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 08:26 |
| Kilos | ok i try that ty | 08:26 |
| Kilos | no * after mav-update/ | 08:27 |
| Kilos | skipping directory . | 08:28 |
| Kilos | eish | 08:28 |
| Kilos | forgot sudo | 08:28 |
| inetpro | Kilos: you need to understand what * means | 08:28 |
| Kilos | i try again | 08:28 |
| Kilos | oh | 08:28 |
| Kilos | miles@P4:~$ sudo rsync /media/2G/mav-update/ /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 08:30 |
| inetpro | Kilos: * is just a shortcut for typing cp SourceDir/file1 SourceDir/file2/ SourceDir/filen DestinationDir/ | 08:30 |
| Kilos | skipping directory . | 08:30 |
| Kilos | eish | 08:30 |
| Kilos | oh not all files and folders | 08:31 |
| Kilos | is there a all files and folders command on linux | 08:31 |
| inetpro | Kilos: yes all files in the specified folder but it's like typing out every single file on one line | 08:32 |
| Kilos | ok | 08:32 |
| inetpro | the shell does the expansion for you before it start copying | 08:32 |
| Kilos | miles@P4:~$ sudo rsync /media/2G/mav-update/ /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 08:32 |
| Kilos | skipping directory . | 08:33 |
| Kilos | why? | 08:33 |
| inetpro | hmm... | 08:33 |
| Kilos | we forgot the -av | 08:34 |
| Kilos | i had to get my notes | 08:34 |
| Kilos | hehe | 08:34 |
| Kilos | i see if that helps | 08:35 |
| Kilos | there we go its doing something | 08:36 |
| inetpro | Kilos: you can leave -v unless you want to see everything while it's happening | 08:36 |
| Kilos | will take 15 mins or so | 08:36 |
| * zerlgi waves | 08:36 | |
| Kilos | better to see | 08:36 |
| Kilos | hi zerlgi | 08:36 |
| inetpro | Kilos: sometimes to much to see | 08:36 |
| inetpro | errors is what you need to see | 08:36 |
| Kilos | its fine it is now copying everything | 08:37 |
| Kilos | how do you just see errors and not everything | 08:37 |
| inetpro | Kilos: leave -v out of it | 08:39 |
| inetpro | just -a | 08:39 |
| inetpro | Kilos: read the man page... man rsync | 08:39 |
| Kilos | hehe. i did all of the upgrading on my 20g for maverick with gdebi one file at a time | 08:40 |
| Kilos | took a week | 08:40 |
| inetpro | Kilos: -a is actually -rlptgoD | 08:40 |
| Kilos | lotsa times had to go find the dependanies first then come back | 08:40 |
| Kilos | -rlptgoD ? | 08:41 |
| inetpro | Kilos: man rsync | 08:41 |
| Kilos | oh ty will get there once stuff installed | 08:41 |
| Kilos | still just the basic installation here | 08:42 |
| Kilos | ty very much guys | 08:42 |
| inetpro | Kilos: man pages are installed on the basic installation | 08:42 |
| Kilos | ah | 08:42 |
| inetpro | you can start another session and read while it's copying | 08:43 |
| Kilos | didnt think of rsync. cp worked too well on karmic | 08:43 |
| Kilos | will do ty | 08:43 |
| inetpro | Kilos: cp would also have worked without the * | 08:44 |
| Kilos | eish now you tell me | 08:44 |
| Kilos | hehe | 08:44 |
| Kilos | maybe i stick to rsync in the future | 08:45 |
| inetpro | Kilos: let me rephrase | 08:46 |
| inetpro | Kilos: cp could also have worked without the * and with a different approach | 08:46 |
| Kilos | ok | 08:46 |
| * inetpro loves rsync | 08:47 | |
| Kilos | eish | 08:47 |
| Kilos | yeah i gonna stay with it now | 08:47 |
| inetpro | Maaz: coffee on | 08:47 |
| * Maaz washes some mugs | 08:47 | |
| Kilos | just would be nice to understand why the command works with karmic but not maverick | 08:48 |
| Kilos | Maaz, coffee please | 08:48 |
| Maaz | Kilos: Yessir | 08:48 |
| Kilos | Maaz, with cremora | 08:49 |
| Maaz | Ah! At last someone with taste | 08:49 |
| Kilos | Maaz, and milk | 08:49 |
| Maaz | Now you're talking | 08:49 |
| Kilos | Maaz, and sugar | 08:49 |
| Maaz | Do something yourself Kilos | 08:49 |
| inetpro | Kilos: you number of files may just have increased? | 08:49 |
| Kilos | i will stick with rsync in the future i think | 08:50 |
| Kilos | ty very much inetpro | 08:50 |
| Kilos | been a long hard expensive month | 08:50 |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for inetpro and Kilos! | 08:51 |
| inetpro | Maaz: thanks | 08:52 |
| Maaz | inetpro: Okay :-) | 08:52 |
| Kilos | Maaz, dankie baie | 08:52 |
| Maaz | Geniet jou koppie boeretroos Kilos | 08:52 |
| inetpro | Kilos: could also be that some environment variables have changed between karmic and maverick | 08:53 |
| Kilos | yeah 958m now | 08:53 |
| Kilos | but all there | 08:53 |
| Kilos | i am so happy | 08:53 |
| Kilos | gracias amigo | 08:54 |
| Kilos | now i can do a sudo apt-get upgrade offline | 08:54 |
| Kilos | inetpro, if i add --delete at the end will it then remove the old files it always want to update | 08:56 |
| Kilos | the update manager always wants to update with old linux headers etc | 08:58 |
| Kilos | like 130m of old stuff | 08:58 |
| inetpro | Kilos: --delete in your case will delete all files and folders that are in /media/2G/mav-update/ but not in /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 08:59 |
| inetpro | Kilos: not always a good idea | 09:01 |
| Kilos | oh | 09:01 |
| Kilos | goodness me that no good | 09:01 |
| inetpro | Kilos: especially if you have updated after the archive was copied | 09:01 |
| Kilos | i leave apt-get to sort it out then | 09:01 |
| inetpro | Kilos: yep | 09:02 |
| Kilos | apt-get autoremove | 09:02 |
| Kilos | dankie baie swaar | 09:02 |
| inetpro | Kilos: np | 09:02 |
| Kilos | see you all later. i go offline to upgrade | 09:03 |
| inetpro | Kilos: why go offline? | 09:03 |
| Kilos | i am scared it steals even 10m data | 09:04 |
| inetpro | hmm... it should ask | 09:04 |
| Kilos | gotta stretch 250m as far as possible | 09:04 |
| inetpro | ok | 09:05 |
| Kilos | i not gonna take the chance it doesn't ask | 09:05 |
| Kilos | later then . have a good day and thanks alot | 09:05 |
| inetpro | Kilos: bye | 09:06 |
