Using the APT Cache

From FGARWiki

Go to applications->accessories->terminal. From terminal type:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

and press enter. In the new window, click the magnifying glass icon. In the "search for" space type:

us.archive.ubuntu.com

In the "replace with" space type:

10.100.0.137:9999

To check to see if server is up type:

ping 10.100.0.137

In addition to changing the APT source to the local cache, you will need to sudo to install any package. E.g.: mesa-utils (includes glxinfo and glxgears binaries), lm-sensors (includes sensor-detect binary), and flashrom.

To install any package, go to Terminal then type

sudo apt-get install $package
