sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
hi...
ive installed kubuntu 8.10 in my usb hdd trough pendrive linux tutorial. i have a question. if we use "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" command, do we have to connect to internet, since my atheros ar5007eg didnt work in kubuntu 8.10 |
Hi, hallve revera,
Yes. apt-get commands like "update" and "upgrade" specifically do need an internet connection. Update synchronizes your list of available packages with the servers in source repositories. Upgrade then downloads & installs any newer versions of your installed progs. happy new year, --SilverBear |
Yes, you need an internet connection.
You may have to use this command: sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade eliminating the second sudo as it's all one command and you may not be around to put admin. password when it's done the first step. |
The Acer Aspire One Ubuntu docs outline getting the ar5007 working in Ubuntu.

Works great for me in Debian. |
Is there anyway to do it offline,
i mean using another comp to download the package and install it in my kubuntu...? |
not that I know off, but then, i never tried nor really poked around much with it. someone might know more info...
just a small hint / idea --> What I do, is, I always use "sudo apt-get -u upgrade", the -u prevents the automatic start of the upgrade, it will list all packages it found and then ask y/n to continue. helpful if you want to have an overview or only select a few of the listed packages. (unless *buntu does it automatically already, the -u option, no idea) |
It would be simpler to get the wireless working

If you were only installing one package: sure, download the correct package on one computer, copy the package to the other, and install it. But if you're doing a upgrade of all upgradeable packages, it's not a one-step process even on the target computer. First you need to compare your current package list with the ones in the repositories: Quote:
It would be time well spent, in the long run, to try to get that wireless connection working, as one poster suggested. If you absolutely can't get it working in Kubuntu, then Mepis and Pardus are both rock-solid KDE distros --you might have better luck there. What version of Kubu are you using -- 8.10? |
