Well, you can just use apt-get on the other PC?
Apt-get downloads .deb packages including all dependencies. Any system that can install .deb files should also support apt-get, or is there a reason you can't use that?
If you download and manually install a .deb file, you have to download and install all dependencies too.

No, there is not a single installer for most applications. Instead there are lots of separate .deb packages and installing one application typically requires installing several of those .deb packages.
That's where apt-get comes in: it figures out all the .deb packages needed for your application, checks what is already installed and then downloads and installs the rest. Doing this manually is far from easy, especially as the list of packages previously installed may differ from PC to PC.
That said, you can find the .deb packages recently downloaded in:
/var/cache/apt/archives/

I guess you could ZIP them up and add a shell script that runs dpkg -i for each of them, but I don't recommend it. The other PC might need additional .debs or have some of them already installed.

Well, it is hard to use without a package repository. You can burn one on DVD and use it with apt-get or use a mirror in your LAN. Internet is not really needed, but by far the easiest.

Where Do I Get a Terminal Program for My PC?

i need to install a terminal program on my PC and tweak my android phone through it. i'm rooted. how do i do this and what programs do i need to download?
you dont need any downloads or at least not for easy tweaking...just type cmd or terminal emulator on your pc search and youll find it and you will need mostly the android sdk(found on the google home page) and to do some ubuntu codes you can download cywin...if you really want to dev well do a virtualbox with ubuntu on it....you can find good howto's on this page: freeyourandroid.com

how do i launch packet tracer on ubuntu port?

Hi,
I have installed ubuntu 10.10 port to my sgs 2. I have tried to install ad launch cisco packet tracer but i couldn't ran it. I could extract it and install from terminal the installer made an executable text file but i cannot run it.
please help!
Wow, this is an advanced one.
As you said, you're getting a shell script with the binary payload included. Does it have execution permissions ? does it use the correct shell ? is the script located on a partition without execute rights ? be more specific please.

I downloaded this one: Packet Tracer v5.3.3 Application + Tutorial - Generic Ubuntu
This is the complete Packet Tracer program including tutorials for generic Ubuntu
From: cisco.netacad.net/cnams/content/templates/LibraryHome.jsp?#/resource/lcms/cnams_site/english/generic_site_areas/library/course_catalog/PTSoftwareDownloads_Students.html
It is a tar.gz file. I extracted it from the terminal and succesfully ran the install file. I had to read the licence first then it started to install. I got a message "packet tracer succesfully installed" but i don't know how do i run it. I found a file in usr/local/bin/ named packettracer. I set the permissions to able to run it. When i tried to run or run from terminal options nothing happend

Well, if I remember correctly the Ubuntu port is heavily stripped down and lots of things are disabled. You'd be better off installing a full Ubuntu on your PC, sorry.
Thank you. I just wanted to flashing with my phone My pc runs win7

MTP files transfer on LinuxMint / Ubuntu quick how to

Hi,
I always had problem with mtp and GB on linux. With the ICS update I couldn't even find my device listed by nautilus. I'm a little bit tired of using Airdroid, wich seems to be slower now and I never liked to download the pictures from it as a zip file.
for those who like to MTP transfer from xperia NXT series on Mint or Ubuntu:
add this repository Olci PPA launchpad.net/~olci/+archive/ppa1
it contains the new libmtp library, the new mtpfs and gmtp
with this command: sudo add-apt-repository ppalci/ppa1
then update & upgrade if already installed
or
update and install libmtp libmtpfs gmtp
from terminal launch gmtp
wait for a little bit (it takes a while)
once in gmtp go to preferences and set your directories for upload download
and there you go
finally can control and backup everything in your sd to your linux system
there is a smile on the command
sudo add-apt-repository ppalci/ppa1
how can I remove it?
Damn that's my ppa if anyone got questions or issues on that ppa
I can help

Thank you so much for the ppa and your job, a friend sms that to me today as we were searching for mtp on mint. I tried it worked and i wanted to share it.

Or you could use Airdroid for file transfers. It's what I use on my Linux laptop.

Hi everyone. I've just started editing some Rom's with kitchen and i'm newbie about that.
I modded everything i want in kitchen and i was about to create .zip file to flash it to my phone. But i got an error.
it was about "Zip Align" and i read the Q&A part on xda - kitchen topic. There is a answer like that;
QUESTION: I am using Ubuntu Linux on a 64-bit Windows PC, and whenever I run 'zipalign' I get an error about "No such file or directory".
ANSWER: You need to install the Ubuntu package "ia32-libs".
I tried to install ia32-libs package but i get some errors. I searched on internet and i saw that it's a bugor sth like that. And i dont know what to do.
I tried typing "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" or "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch" to terminal buti couldnt get package called ia32.
Btw, i'm using ubuntu installed with latest wubi (i think 12.10).
I need some help. Thank you.

[Q] Android in the Enterprise and Google Play

I have done some searching but I have a time constraint so I am hoping someone can assist me. We are looking into supporting Android at our facility whether it be employee owned or company purchased. My question is how do you register Google Play to download the MDM app it you do not have or want a gmail account? Or how do I install my custom app on a tablet without an SD card or "Astro File Manager"
I have put the APK file in the Downloads folder but that does not work.
How are you registering devices under a Corporate identity?
Thaks for any assistance.
