I have 2 computers, 1 at workplace (online) and 1 at home (offline). The online computer at workplace got mp3 and other codec for multimedia and it also has vlc. What I want is to copy the package for mp3 codec and vlc to the offline computer so I can play music and video. I already try to use aptoncd and this what I did - On the online computer I sudo apt-get install aptoncd - Run aptoncd to collect package - I check the meta-package option and then make iso file - Burn iso to cd

However, when I run the cd on the offline computer by launching aptocd-metapackage with ubuntu software center to restore package I get this error "Dependency is not satisfiable: aptoncd"

What should i do to solve this,thanks

To install Ubuntu applications offline with AptonCD:

Using a PC with Ubuntu 14.04.2 installed, via the Ubuntu Software Center or via Synaptic Package Manager install all the applications you want, including aptoncd.

  • Then create a Debian package installer CD or DVD:

Go to System ---> Administration ---> APTonCD.

Click Create to make an ISO image.

To select your file.deb packages, choose Add Packages and it will automatically load packages already on your system.

Select the Burn button.

Select your ISO format DVD or CD, destination folder, and image file name.

Click Apply.

After the ISO is created, you can burn it onto a CD or DVD.

  • Restoring a program using the CD or DVD:

Go to System ---> Administration ---> APTonCD.

Click Restore to install the application.

Load and select the CD or DVD.

Make sure to check Auto-select dependencies.

Now, select all of the programs you want to install.

Click the Restore button. This will copy and store programs on your APT cache folder.

From here it gets a bit tricky; you'll need to use the command line terminal.

Open a terminal,

Press Ctrl+Alt+T

Run it:

cd /var/cache/apt/archives

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Then enter your password.

After it finishes installing, close the terminal and browse your installed applications.
