I have an old server which is running Ubuntu Linux 16.04 in a lab environment. It is not not possible to upgrade to the new Ubuntu version due to hardware capacity. I decided to keep it and us it as normal (security issue is not a problem).

I need to install samba package but I can't get this package from the repository anymore. I have an ISO file of this distro and also burn into a CDROM. I have checked the document about select the CDROM as the source of installation but when I tried to do that the system still keep asking me to connect to internet.

I tried to review the configuration file many time but seem nothing wrong but I still can't install the samba package from this media.

If anyone has any solution please kindly let me know how I can fix this problem or is there any offline .deb package that I can't install samba on my Linux?

Thank, Kanel

  • "security issue is not a problem" - yes, it is. Have you tried mounting the ISO/CD and installing with dpkg? You'll need to untangle the dependencies by hand.

    You've checked which documentation exactly? To prevent apt from trying to access the internet just comment out all internet sources from /etc/apt/sources.list. This article should get you sorted: hiroom2.com/2016/08/12/ubuntu-16-04-install-package-from-dvd
