My Ubuntu 21.10 server has no internet. Unfortunately, main package to detect route issues and other network problem missing in distribution. Therefore I can don’t know what real route has my server because route command is absent.
However, now I can see my server from other peer bridge. I want to copy net-tools from other machine by scp, than manually install this most important package. But:
- I mount Ubuntu LiveCD, add this source to /etc/apt/source.list – and receive answer "package not found"
- How to locate package net-tools in http://archive.ubuntu.com/?
- What part need to copy to target machine by scp?
- How to start this package manually in target machine?
- How to avoid GPG problem and other issue with trusted installed package?
- I have similar problem with networking with various server in many years, in fact during all my carrier and in any Linux distribution. Why main package to detect network issues with tiny size developers don’t included in any Linux distribution? What reason to delete so important package from LiveCD? I still don’t understand this decision.
>Solution :
You can find download links for the package here:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/net-tools
I guess you want the 64-bit version so click on "amd64" link, this will get you to the page where you have to choose the server you want to download from (it is recommended to choose the one that is closest to you).
Copy it to the target system and install with:
sudo dpkg -i net-tools_*.deb
