Wireshark .deb file installation process

krimzen85 · 08-17-2009, 07:20 AM

Hey All,

Getting ready to install Wireshark on my Servers, but I have no internet, so I am going to download:

wireshark_1.0.7-1ubuntu1_i386.deb

from a Window's machine, throw it on a USB stick, and then boot up Ubuntu and put the stick in the drive.

Can anyone give me the commands to install a .deb file/application in Ubuntu from USB stick?

Code:

sudo dpkg -i wireshark_1.0.7-1ubuntu1_i386.deb

However, it is possible you need to download some dependencies

Don't forget you'll need to mount the usb stick to access the .deb file.

In general it is mounted automaticly.
If not, open a terminal, login as root and type:

Code:

tail -f /var/log/messages

plugin the usb stick
Look a the output in the terminal
You will see something like

Code:

Aug 17 18:11:03 cannabis kernel: [14768.945687]  sdc1

then as root

Code:

mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt

Code:

cd /mnt
ls
