Keryx 1.0 Tutorial

Keryx 1.0 has only been tested on Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10. Older versions of Ubuntushould use Keryx 0.92.

1) Create a profile. This can simply be downloaded from the Premade section. You canalso go to your offline computer, install the Keryx deb, create the project, copy it from~/keryx/profiles to your flash drive, but that’s a lot more work.

2) Open the profile, this will download the latest list of packages.

3) Select the software you would like to install. It will download, and you can then gohome.

4) Install the software either with Synaptic’s File->Add Downloaded Packages featureor try using the Keryx installation method, by opening the profile after installingKeryx on your offline machine with the deb.

The following tutorial is for Keryx 0.92 only

Getting Keryx

Keryx Project | Tutorial http://keryxproject.org/tutorial/

26 இ� 1 ெவ�� 04 நவ�ப� 2011 11:02 மாைல

Grab Keryx from the Download page and extract it to your flash drive.

Starting Keryx

On Linux

Linux: Navigate to the keryx/linux directory on your flash drive anddouble-click the ‘keryx’ icon.

On Windows

Windows: Navigate to the keryx/win32 directory on your flash drive anddouble-click the ‘keryx’ or ‘keryx.exe’ icon.

From Source

OSX: You will need to install GTK-OSX and wxPython on OSX. You can thenrun keryx/source/keryx.py

If you are running Keryx on an Ubuntu installation older that 8.10, you will notbe able to use the Linux executable. Instead, follow the instructions forrunning from source (on the Wiki).

Creating a Project

New projects MUST be created on your offline computer!!

After starting Keryx, enter the name of your project (or leave the default) andclick ‘New Project’. Alternatively you can see if a pre-made project has beencontributed on the forums.

When asked whether you would like to download the latest package lists, choose‘No’, then exit Keryx.

Opening a Project


26 இ� 2 ெவ�� 04 நவ�ப� 2011 11:02 மாைல

Start Keryx and choose your project from the bottom drop-down menu. Then click‘Open Project’.

If you would like to have the latest packages available for download, choose ‘Yes’when prompted whether to download latest package lists (recommended).

Installing Packages

Open your project and select ‘Install Packages’ from the ‘Project’ menu. Check allthe packages you want to install and click ‘Continue’.

A terminal will display the progress of package installation. After installation iscomplete, press ENTER.

So that Keryx will know that you have installed new packages, you should nowupdate the project status (Project > Update Status).

For a more detailed, step-by-step tutorial, see the one on crashsystems.net.

And if something goes wrong?

There are several ways to get help with a problem. You can

report a bug on Launchpadask on the Forums or on Launchpadcontact our mailing listchat with us in #keryx on Freenode.

work.

This is what I hope your application will accomplish in a future version.

1) I install a computer with internet access;2) I load it with all the stuff I need (extra-repositories and packages);3) I install KERYX and take a snapshot of my brand-new machine;4) After that I deploy my machine somewhere without an internet access;5) I go back to my den and download on KERYX profiles' directory the stuff from my machine;6) Sometimes after, I feel I have to apply upgrades to my remote deployed machine;7) I fire KERYX and tell it to download update repositories and upgraded packages;8) I put them on my usb-thumb drive and bring to the offline machine;9) KERYX starts the upgrade process.

Again, good work and keep up.Luca

1) Download Keryx onto an online machine, and save the application to your local disk/external device/both.

Get a snapshot of the offline machine:

2) Dis-connect and transfer the external device to the offline machine, and launch the application from theexternal device ... OR , transfer the application to the local device of the offline machine, and launch theapplication there.

3) Take a snapshot of the [repository] of the offline machine, and transfer the shapshot to ? folder of the externaldevice.

Return to the online machine...

4) Return the external device to the online machine, and:

a) Transfer the snapshot of the offline machine to the appropriate folder in the application of the online machine,and launch the application in the online machine ...

OR

b) Leave the snapshot of the offline machine in its' place on the external device, and launch the application FROMthe external device.

6) Once the application is launched, select the appropriate interface control [???], to update the snapshot of theoffline machine. The update packages will download to the (application folder of the online machine?/applicationfolder on the external device?).

If the downloaded packages download to the application folder of the online machine, they will have to betransferred to the appropriate folder on the external device.

Return to the offline machine:

7) Connect the external (updated) device to the offline machine, and launch the application (from the externaldevice?)(from the offline machine?).

8) Execute the update function, being sure to have the downloaded packages, as well as the originally installedrepo accessible to the application.

Step 7 lends to MANY questions, depending on from WHERE the application is launched).

These steps make no address of getting non-default packages downloaded and installed.

Like

I'm sorry you're having a lot of trouble with this. Step 7 can be any install of Keryx to open the profile andinstall the packages, or you can simply plug in the flash drive with the packages to the offline machine andinstall with Synaptic.

The whole process is quite confusing because ubuntu no longer allows you to execute programs from theflash drive. I'm very busy with the last month of college so I can't take a whole lot of time to provide support.:( I wish you luck getting software installed on your offline machine though! Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

"Create a profile."

What does that mean?

Like

The Keryx 1.0 interface will help you through that. A profile is a snapshot of your offline machine. So youneed to start Keryx and follow the instructions on the interface to create a profile. After that, you take Keryxto an online machine along with that profile and open it there.

Like

I downloaded Keryx 1.0 to a USB drive, connected it to the offline machine, and double-clicked. As far asI can tell, Keryx is installed.

I see no prompts in the GUI that will take a 'snapshot' of my current Synaptic.

I see 'Reinstall Package' (keryx).

Like

Make sure that you are running Keryx on your offline machine. If you install it with the debpackage, it will be added to the System menu, or if you run it from source, just double click onbin/keryx.py. When the interface comes up, you create the profile there.

Like

Great - thanks... I DO have it setup in the offline machine. The message at the bottom is'Downloading package lists'. Is it creating the 'snapshot' of the Synaptic? If not, I do not seethe button which DOES do that.

Is this snapshot already done? I see the computer (by its' name) under 'Computer name', andalso under 'Want to manage this computer with Keryx?"

And then, how do I transfer the snapshot to the external device?

All you have to do is click the "Manage" button after you give it a name. You don't have toopen it because Keryx needs internet for that part. The project will be stored in your homedirectory if you installed using the deb, otherwise it will be on the flash drive if you areusing the keryx.py file.

Copy it to your flash drive and either choose it from the list or browse on the onlinemachine and you should be good to go.

Like

Ok; I have the Keryx folder in my /home directory, on the offline machine.

I copied the entire Keryx folder, and sub-folders ['Downloads', and 'Profiles'] to theUSB drive (not a flash/pen drive; just an external USB drive).

Now I've connected the USB drive to an online machine. How does the applicationlaunch?

I don't see Update, or Re-load, or Start Package Management, I just am not seeinganything which resembles ... anything.

Like

Sure. On your online machine (I'm assuming Windows, if it is Ubuntu, you canjust install the deb on there, or go directly to using the source), you'll needPython and PyGTK installed. These two files (install Python first):

http://www.python.org/ftp/pyth...http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME...

You'll need the Keryx source ( http://launchpad.net/keryx/sta... ) after you haveinstalled Python and PyGTK so that you can run it on the online machine. Doubleclick the "bin/keryx.py" file ( the keryx.py in the bin folder ) and it will start onyour new machine. You can then browse to your folder then and open upProfiles, and the one you created should be listed. From there it will downloadthe package lists, show you the list of software you can install and you cansearch for GParted, etc.

To install, you can take the flash drive back home and either open the project upagain with Keryx on the offline machine, or you can open Synaptic and clickFile->Add downloaded packages to have Synaptic install them.

If you're just looking for GParted though, you should try using the Ubuntu CD toinstall that from. It comes on the LiveCD so you can actually add the CD to youroffline machine and install it from there without Keryx or the internet.

Yes, I was hoping to clarify the concept of a profile because Keryx needs a snapshot of your offline machine(now called a "profile" instead of a "project").

I'm not sure why Keryx would have started downloading package lists unless you had opened a profilesomehow.

Try using the interface to download a premade project (if you have 10.04 or 10.10) and skip creating theprofile on the offline machine if that makes it easier for you.

Creating a project happens on your offline machine. Keryx needs a snapshot of the offline computer before itcan do its work online. The error given in 0.92 isn't helpful I realize, but 1.0 hopefully fixes that.

Keryx 1.0 is a complete rewrite and makes it a lot simpler to use but you need to copy the project to a flashdrive or you can download a premade project using the interface.

Like

From the tutorial there's no clear-cut instructions on which actions to carry out on the offline system and on thedownload system. For example, after the instructions on creating a project on the offline system, nothing was saidabout moving the created project to the flash drive installation of Keryx so that the project can be used for thepackage downloads after transferring the flash drive to the download system.I believe a more information is needed in-between 'Creating a Project' and 'Opening a Project'.

in-between 'Opening a Project' and 'Installing Packages'.Thanks for a wonderful piece of software any way.

Like

I apologize for the poor instructions. School started and I have run out of time to work on Keryx for a while.

Creating a project takes a snapshot of your offline computer.

Opening a project loads up that snapshot and downloads the lists of packages you have available. This needsto be done online.

Installing packages that you downloaded in the previous step can be installed various ways on your offlinemachine, and it's probably best if you use Synaptic => File => Add Downloaded Packages to do so. Keryx'sinstallation method works, but it might not be the most stable.

Mind you, Keryx is still very much a work in progress, but it should at least be a good start. :-)

Keryx only works with Debian and Ubuntu derivatives. If it Slitaz uses APT for package management, thenyou should be able to use Keryx for it, otherwise I'm afraid not.

I think the apt-get install thing didn't work because the comment ended up being weirdlyformatted. What I meant to say was that your command should have looked similar to this,replacing the package names after "install" with the ones you chose.

You'd replace those 3 package names with whatever you chose to install, but it's probablyeasier for most people to use Synaptic to install instead of Terminal anyways.

Are you using a specific locale or anything? I've never come across this error before and Googlingaround didn't find me much either. What servers are you using? 32 bit or 64 bit? Anything othererrors or unique things about your environment you are running this on?

Oh and I would like to thank you and the keryx development team for this wonderful piece ofsoftware.At least in this respect, debian-based is miles ahead of it's competitors.I always found it funny how Linux is often touted as "the OS" for poor country when youusually -need- high speed internet connection to have a great Linux experience.

Just glad we can make a difference and give back to the community in any way we can. :)

I am using Linux Mint 9, x64 version.I used keryx in 2009 for a whole year without problem. It has helped me a great deal and was ahuge reason I still use Linux at all.I'd go to an internet cafe / campus / office with high speed internet and download softwarethen install them at home. No problem at all.

I recently installed Linux Mint 9. I am not sure about the locale but I can check if you'd tell me.I can tell you however that I set the location to : Indonesia.Language and Keyboard to : US English.

Now, when I tried to download updates two days ago. Sometimes I was able to do that. Idownloaded 800 mb worth of updates and softwares including KDE and XFCE. But then I gotthat problem where no package was shown (running in Windows, in Linux its no problemo).

Still don't know what I did wrong. I am going to try running keryx in windows, using the sourcecode. Been having problem with downloading wxpython cos sourceforge is soooo slow.

From what I can tell so far since I got the problem, it appears to be something wrong withour binary code. Seems like running from source doesn't have any trouble but once it'scompiled there are unexpected problems. Someone else today mentioned the issue to meso hopefully I can get this figured out quickly.

Hmmm, double checked and it runs fine on my 64bit Win7. Do you happen to have admin permissions? If soyou could try running Keryx from source (source/keryx.py) after installing Python 2.5 and wxPython (forversion 2.5). If you do that, then whatever error is causing Keryx to crash will show and we can figure outhow to fix it for you.

Is there an error message given on Windows 7 for you? If you didn't get an error message, can you open upthe command prompt and run Keryx from there to see what it outputs? Are you using 32bit or 64bit?

Raymond, you'll have to create your project on the Debian machine. If keryx won't start, try running it in theterminal so you can see any errors. Then post the errors here, on the forums, or report a bug on Launchpad.

No, the problem was I was trying to create a project under windows but now when I go into debian and doubleclick on keryx it does nothing.

You are trying to create the new project on the Ubuntu machine correct? If you can't get that to work, you caneasily download the premade projects and use one of those. We are still working on gathering the Lucid files forit's premade project but it should be ready shortly.

When I try to create a project it comes up with the message:

Please create the project on the plugin's supported OS.

I have the project name in the left hand box.debian is the only option in the drop down next to it.and when I click on New Project it gives me the above message.
