| Lindon-Wynta | 52GB done, ~47GB to go :/ | 13:03 |
|---|---|---|
| Lindon-Wynta | Downloading a copy of Precise repos for offline use | 13:04 |
| Lindon-Wynta | Then I gotta get KDE3 repos and some others... | 13:05 |
| Lindon-Wynta | Does anyone know if Ubuntu Software Store will actually work, if sources.list is directed to local repos? | 13:06 |
| Lindon-Wynta | Or will if everything be greyed out, if Software Centre detects no Internet connection? | 13:07 |
| sagaci | just in case the internet goes down | 13:07 |
| jaddi27 | i think you can set it up to use a local repo | 13:08 |
| Lindon-Wynta | Hmmm | 13:08 |
| sagaci | Lindon-Wynta: no, they come from extras.ubuntu.com | 13:08 |
| sagaci | I might be wrong | 13:08 |
| jaddi27 | head_victim would know more - he has done it before | 13:08 |
| sagaci | sorry | 13:08 |
| Lindon-Wynta | That's ok, I'm more of a Synaptic / CLI guy | 13:08 |
| Lindon-Wynta | Software Centre is nice, little slow for me | 13:09 |
| sagaci | I thought you meant that special part of the store | 13:09 |
| Lindon-Wynta | That's ok, thanks anyway | 13:09 |
| sagaci | in that case, it should all work, unless you install a package that need to download from external source, ie. flash, ms fonts | 13:09 |
| Lindon-Wynta | yeah, been trying to take care of that too lol | 13:10 |
| Lindon-Wynta | I found an offline-MSFont installer | 13:10 |
| Lindon-Wynta | Flash is easy | 13:10 |
| Lindon-Wynta | It's all easy, really, just very tedious over a ~5Mbit - 6Mbit connection :/ | 13:12 |
| Lindon-Wynta | Well, it's not so much that, mainly the servers seem to take their time sending me the data | 13:13 |
| head_victim | Lindon-Wynta: what we did for an installfest was rsync an entire repository (it's around 500GB from memory?) and then do some dns foo to make everything point to a webserver running the repo | 13:13 |
| head_victim | It took me a couple of days to sync the whole repo over Telstra cable from aarnet | 13:13 |
| head_victim | The idea being all computers on the network use the local copy then and it's super quick to install software. | 13:14 |
| Lindon-Wynta | head_victim, yeah I'm using debmirror for Ubuntu via aarnet and rsync (custom script) for openSUSE | 13:14 |
| head_victim | Ah, I didn't do anything custom for the rsync, I literally just rsynced the whole mirror (archive and releases) | 13:14 |
| Lindon-Wynta | Yeah, rsync doesn't descriminate against which files it pulls | 13:17 |
| Lindon-Wynta | Which I think is rather handy | 13:17 |
| head_victim | Yeah, it was handy. Took forever and still chewed over 100gb a month keeping it up to date | 13:18 |
| head_victim | I haven't updated it since January though (the USB drive it's on is sitting in the cupbaord) so I'm thinking maybe a whole new download would be easier. | 13:19 |
| Lindon-Wynta | Yeah, well mine will mainly be "fire and forget". I'll grab what updates for Prices there are now (or soonish), but after that, that's it. | 13:19 |
| Lindon-Wynta | *Precise | 13:19 |
| head_victim | Yeah, I had everything from 10.04 up here so figured may as well do the lot. | 13:19 |
| Lindon-Wynta | Ahhh can't wait for Quetzal, I have enough issues with Precise typos lol | 13:20 |
| head_victim | I gotta charge, feel to hang around and ask questions though. sagaci and jaddi27 are both pretty clued in :) | 13:20 |
| Lindon-Wynta | Cya head_victim | 13:20 |
| Lindon-Wynta | Thanks | 13:20 |
| Lindon-Wynta | sagaci, So, I was planning on pulling extras.ubuntu, does this mean I should have the "meta-data" (fancy stuff) for Software Store? | 13:23 |
| sagaci | Lindon-Wynta: I'm not sure how that would work since some of that is proprietary and/or paid for softwares | 13:51 |
