Using Debian DVD as software source in Ubuntu

Asked by Majid Navabi

Hi. I have a Debian large image (dvd) , can I use it as software source in Ubuntu so I can install many apps from that media instead of internet? If yes, plz tell me how. I tried to do this by clicking "add cdrom" in software source, but it didn't work. If I can't do it can you plz tell me how I can install apps in ubuntu with no internet connection? Thanks in advance.

Hi ,

is little bit difficult to install apps without Internet , because lot of apps needs dependencies.. , so probably you will must struggling with dependencies , if are not satisfied.

It would be better if you had an Ubuntu DVD ...

Place the CD/DVD inside .. and then open a terminal and write

$ sudo apt-cdrom add
$ sudo apt-get update

and then try to install software with

$ sudo apt-get install <package name>

Thank you.
