| replaceafill | weiers_, i wonder if APTonCD would be the solution for #4 :) | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| weiers_ | that does look promising | 00:03 |
| replaceafill | http://www.linoob.com/2010/02/aptoncd-update-ubuntu-offline/ | 00:04 |
| replaceafill | i wonder if it would work with an external PPA like the one SchoolTool uses | 00:04 |
| weiers_ | yes, it would be interesting to play with this. I'm trying to see if I can select the packages that I would want to make available. Not just a copy of my current install. | 00:07 |
| replaceafill | :O | 00:07 |
| weiers_ | ok, I installed AptonCd | 00:10 |
| weiers_ | and it lists all the packages on my system | 00:10 |
| weiers_ | and asks me to select the ones I want | 00:10 |
| weiers_ | schooltool-2009 (1.03) and schooltool-common is part of the list | 00:11 |
| replaceafill | weiers_, you would need all the depencies also | 00:11 |
| weiers_ | yes, those are the ones I'm not sure of - things like python-zope | 00:11 |
| replaceafill | again, i suggest the mailing list, someone smarter will give you better advice ;) | 00:13 |
| weiers_ | Yes, thanks. I've subscribed. I will copy the above sentences and post it, along with the thoughts on using apt-on-cd | 00:14 |
| replaceafill | good luck, i hope you get it and let me know how you did it :D | 00:14 |
| weiers_ | thanks very much | 00:15 |
| replaceafill | weiers_, still around? | 00:44 |
| weiers_ | yes | 00:46 |
| replaceafill | i just tested the aptoncd thing and it works 50% for you :) | 00:46 |
| replaceafill | indeed it copies the right files to your cache | 00:46 |
| weiers_ | ok | 00:46 |
| replaceafill | and you dont have to download them again | 00:46 |
| replaceafill | the sad part is that you have to add the schooltool-owners ppa to your packages list | 00:47 |
| replaceafill | and for that i did: sudo add-apt-repository ppp:schooltool-owners | 00:48 |
| replaceafill | and that requires internet connection :( | 00:48 |
| replaceafill | to get the key | 00:48 |
| replaceafill | and then i did: sudo apt-get update, which also requires internet connection :( | 00:48 |
| replaceafill | sudo apt-get install schooltool-2009 reported 0 KB to download | 00:48 |
| weiers_ | Ok, I'm making notes of this | 00:50 |
| replaceafill | :) | 00:50 |
| weiers_ | the apt-get update will probably not use major bandwidth | 00:50 |
| replaceafill | ah no, both commands are really fast | 00:51 |
| replaceafill | since they donwload almost nothing | 00:51 |
| replaceafill | like 100k at much i'd say | 00:51 |
| replaceafill | not sure though :P | 00:51 |
| weiers_ | LOL - this is going to be fun | 00:52 |
| replaceafill | hhmm another thing, i just did this test on an updated lucid :( | 00:52 |
| replaceafill | i guess you won't have that in the school | 00:52 |
| weiers_ | thats just what I'm thinking of | 00:52 |
| weiers_ | unless I can get the updates on the apt-on-cd | 00:53 |
| replaceafill | yes | 00:53 |
| replaceafill | i think you should install a new lucid, get all the udpates, get the schooltool packages and the use aptoncd | 00:53 |
| replaceafill | if that's the right solution of course :) | 00:53 |
| replaceafill | which again i'm not sure it is ;) | 00:53 |
| weiers_ | LOL - I've been threatening to upgrade my wife's karmic install. This is the perfect time to do so :-) | 00:54 |
| replaceafill | but this is definitely a interesting use case | 00:54 |
| replaceafill | you can use a virtual machine too | 00:54 |
| weiers_ | ok, that's also an option | 00:54 |
| replaceafill | i use virtualbox and have a fresh installed karmic copied | 00:55 |
| replaceafill | which i restore when i want to try this things | 00:55 |
| replaceafill | s/restore/make a copy | 00:55 |
| weiers_ | brilliant - haha - I'm actually quite a noob myself with all these things. I do run xp in a virtual machine for the very infrequent times that Ubuntu cannot help me with stupid things like a website whose flash-uploader does not deal with Ubuntu's version of flash. | 00:57 |
| replaceafill | i'm a noob too :P | 00:57 |
| weiers_ | So for me it is like the blind helping the blind | 00:58 |
| replaceafill | :)) | 00:58 |
