Updating Ubuntu from downloaded repository
by Deadeye412 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5B6P1)
Hello.
First off, I don't know if this post should be here or another place however I am trying this on an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS machine and having difficulties.
I have an Ubuntu machine that is not able to reach the internet (due to security restrictions). I downloaded the entire repository so I could bring into the area with the "unattached" machine to update.
I believe I have a good copy of the current repositories and when I take them to the other machine (using a USB attached hard drive), I edit the sources.list file and have it point to: file:///my/file/location/ubuntu us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse
Also bringing in the backports and updates and security. On the isolated machine I type (as a root user) apt update, I get a lot of ignores and when I do an apt list --upgradable I get nothing.
I know there are a LOT of updates this machine needs. Can someone help me figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
