 |
|
Hi all.
OK, I'm going to install 11.10 and I'd like to make a list of all the programmes and apps
that I've installed so-far. (To make it easier to re-install them afterwards).
So-far (I think I've made a correct list by doing the folowing in a terminal) =
| Code: |
dpkg --get-selections > installed_apps_01.txt
|
However I prefaced that command with sudo.
E.G.
| Code: |
sudo dpkg --get-selections > installed_apps_01.txt
|
and saved it to my home folder.
Now, is this enough? Was putting sudo in-front wise?
Will this enable me to run the next line of code to re-install all of the apps?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice. |

Yes, sudo was actually needed for that command so succeed. Next steps:
1) save the file on removable media (USB stick!), just in case (and backup your data too!)
2) on the new system, set the list with:
| Code: | | sudo apt-get --set-selections < installed_apps_01.txt |
3) install these using dselect, this takes a while:
| Code: | sudo apt-get install dselect
sudo dselect install |
Assuming you've also updated to a new kernel, reboot, and you should be back in business. |
