Enabling multimedia and restricted formats in systems not connected to the internet can be a pain with any linux distro with a lot of dependency problems. This is more so a problem for people in smaller cities with slow dial up connections or worse, no internet access at all. Being primarily a OpenSuSE user, I started redistributing OSS rpms of select software with their dependencies as zip archives in the month of December last year, and usually release updates every month, time permitting.

The response has been fairly good. What I and many users realised that this helps not only those who do not have access to internet at home, but also regular users who want to set up their system quickly after a format, or set up multiple PCs, saving bandwidth.

I decided to start the same work for Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu 8.04, and will be redistributing the packages and dependencies through AptOnCD. I have selected a few software which may be required on home PCs. This list is in no way complete, but just represents what I think may be the bare minimum one would like to have on a multimedia desktop PC.

I have compiled a collection of applications and their dependencies for Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu 8.04 (amd64) for installation to PCs not connected to the internet and for quick multimedia setup.

Here is the updated list of applications

[SIZE=+1]Application list:[/SIZE]
htop
kchmviewer
evince (for Kubuntu only)
mplayer (for Xubuntu and Ubuntu)
kmplayer (for Kubuntu only)
mozilla-mplayer plugin (for Ubuntu and Xubuntu)
audacious
k3b
libk3b2-extracodecs
normalize-audio
sox
vcdimager
devede
audacity
avidemux
ffmpeg
ffmpegthumbnailer
transcode
ntfs-config
vlc
libdvdcss2
non-free-codecs
peazip
compizconfig-settings
wine
ubuntu-restricted (Ubuntu only)
kubuntu-restricted (Kubuntu only)
xubuntu-restricted (Xubuntu only)

Warning: For Peazip installation see the end of this post !!!!

Re: Packages+Dependencies for Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu 8.04 (amd64) July 2008

How are you able to distribute such large files ? I have created several such compilations, like Public Domain Charlie Chapplin Movie Collection DVD, Freeware Windows XP Software DVD, Debian GTX, Linux Games Collector's editon freeware DVD, etc. But I have NO IDEA how to share them with the masses. Now the only thing I can think of is to write a shell script to download each file via wget after hunting for their respective locations, and place them in appropriate directories. But that needs infinite patience which I lack.

Re: Packages+Dependencies for Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu 8.04 (amd64) July 2008

I think I answered that^^^
You can look up that site

The only other way free of cost is bittorrent, but that will require you to seed for quite a while. I used to post these on thepiratebay, but as we are in the monsoon season I do not want to take a chance with lightning and power cuts.

I don't want paid hosting. :(
And how good is Pirate Bay ? I thought it was exclusively for illegal stuff ? Is it possible to use LinuxTracker.org or BitTorrent.com instead ?

Pirate Bay tracker is excellent. They have one http and one udp tracker. As long as what you share is legal i do not see what the problem is. I also have a backup private tracker on my website :)

Its something like this: Pirate Bay is almost strictly pirates' territory. And its blocked in many places and frowned upon in others. Besides, one of my friend says that the attitude there is such that uploaders of legal stuff are mocked. So I thought I can stay away from pirate bay.
Isn't there something else ?

Anyway, about your package+dependencies ISO, why are you providing them for 8.04 ? Why not 8.04.1 ?

Then what will 8.04 users do? Orphans? It's not like some beta is it?
You try it with 8.04.1 and let me know. Else I will have to download the whole lot of ISOs all over again, 32 bit and 64 bit, it's not worth the hassle. All the work will be double.

I think it should work, try and let me know, in case you saw I skipped system updates :) I will not be releasing them for both 32 and 64 bit in future as the download size almost becomes like a big distro.

Re: Packages+Dependencies for Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu 8.04 (amd64) September 2008

Hi all
I have modified this release a little. No I've included two ISOs
  1. only multimedia packages
  2. multimedia packages + default system updates

So you can download whichever suits your needs the best :)

htop - an extension of top for viewing system processes

kchmviewer - a CHM viewer

evince (for Kubuntu only) - a pdf viewer

mplayer - a multimedia player

kmplayer (for Kubuntu only) - instead of Mplayer. If you install firefox then do install mozilla-mplayer

firefox(for Kubuntu only as it does not have firefox)

mozilla-mplayer plugin - Mplayer plugin for firefox

audacious - a winamp look-alike

k3b - burn baby burn, CD/DVD burning

libk3b2-extracodecs - extra codecs for K3b

normalize-audio - needed for K3b

sox - needed for K3b

vcdimager - needed for K3b

devede - DVD authoring

audacity - sound file editor

avidemux - A demuxer, similar to VirtualDub

ffmpeg - CLI video encoder

ffmpegthumbnailer - make thumbnails of your movies like in Media Player Classic of Klite

transcode - CLI video encoder

ntfs-config - Easy configuration to mount and write to internal/external ntfs drives

vlc - multimedia player

libdvdcss2 - dvd decryptor

non-free-codecs - required for Mplayer and Kaffeine

wine - a Windows emulator

ubuntu-restricted (Ubuntu only)

kubuntu-restricted (Kubuntu only)

xubuntu-restricted (Xubuntu only)

I forgot to include Peazip. Please see the end of this post.

Instructions:

  • Download one of these iso files
    • Packages listed above without default system upgrade
      FTP Download md5sum 6ae43b1f122a8f2f483dcce8c7012eeb

    • Packages listed above with default system upgrade
      I have split this iso into six peices to facilitate easy download.
      Mediafire.com supports download managers so don't worry.
      *www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=8b50ec8c0aafc4e8ab1eab3e9fa335ca2b345e56fab4457b

    We are now going to use a terminal to assemble the file. Do not be afraid, the command line is your friend !
    Tip: when you are keying in the name of a file in the current folder that you are in, just type the partial name and press the Tab key once; if the file name is unique it will autocomplete

    Press Alt and F2, and type

    gnome-terminal (in Ubuntu)

    konsole (in Kubuntu)

    xterm (in Xubuntu)

    By default you will now be in your home folder. We now want to navigate to the desktop where you saved your downloaded files.


    Type

    cd Desktop

    and press ENTER.

    Note that the D of Desktop is in capitals. Linux is case sensitive -
    Desktop is not the same as desktop


    Type

    ls

    and press ENTER.

    You should see the six files, 02092008_aa to 02092008_af, besides other files if any on your desktop.


    Type

    md5sum 02092008_a*

    and press ENTER. You should see the following output

    b2469fba0b5a4c1a674f399a08b9d026 02092008_aa
    746c350f7b9a6f2f604282b152abb35a 02092008_ab
    32450fac7f5740e145b9b95192ca2d51 02092008_ac
    0a300ae78f1a8017d6656f5dc481ac25 02092008_ad
    757d28adbcbad27c12f19e4c16c7fa1f 02092008_ae
    4614afd7f711fbcc0b4acab6fa11898a 02092008_af

    that is, the md5sum with the corresponding filename.

    This means your files are ok, if any of them differ then that particular part file has got corrupted during download and will have to be redownloaded.


    If all is well, type

    cat 02092008_a* > upgrade.iso

    and press ENTER.

    Wait till you get the prompt back, the file upgrade.iso will be assembled on your desktop.


    Type

    ls

    and press ENTER.

    You should see the file upgrade.iso among other files on your desktop.


    You can now write it to a cd using the default cd burning software of your distro.
