why not simply create a download script from apt? (or synaptic? don’t remember…)
it would work even for updates
Thats not really a nice solution. I can also download all deb’s and install them offline.
It indeed is a really nice solution. d(“,)
Not everyone has enough internet connection to use that “apt” thing…
And if we try to download the deb version, we should be ready having some trouble about downloading and installing the dependencies which aren’t in small numbers…
NICE!
Thanks!!

I am not able to get vlc player from ubuntu software center even after connecting to internet
can any1 help me……..
I am using ubuntu10.10
why ubuntu is called as linux for humans..
it is a big bunch of hassles without an internet connection for baseline users andonly good for advanced users.
cononical should made ubuntu atleast new user can do basic things easily. why the developers include their own made codecs so that offline users who r new to ubuntu will not take back their feet from ubuntu..

Hi,
I would like to know if the above procedure works for ubuntu 11.10 version.
Plz reply..
Regards,
Ubuntu Learner.
found a better workaround to the question i asked earlier.to install restricted extras simply run a live session on a computer with an internet connection.Open software centre type in ubuntu restricted extras,select install,after installation is complete install additional softwares u may need,lastly install apton cd. Having downloaded all the above open apton cd and choose option create,all the packages will be saved as an iso image,save the iso to your flash drive for use on the offline machine.
Mount the iso image image on your offline machine and copy the folder named packages to your home folder.To avoid having to reinstall ubuntu all over again remove the open jdk packages and their dependencies ie(remove everything with the word java).having removed java open the termina l and type the followin code
cd packages
hit the enter key
next type the following code
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
enter your password and wait for the installation to finish and voila you wil have your ubuntu 11.10 playin mp3s and dvds.
Ooops forgot to mention,include vlc and rhythmbox amongst the softwares yov download,the default banshee has a lot of issues and u wont be able to do much with it.The software centre in 11.10 no longer supports offline install of .deb packages so be sure to include gdebi package installer
Try this offline installers:
