I'm trying, without much success, to dist-upgrade a machine from 10.04LTS to 12.04.2LTS. The installer seems to timeout because the host (or my network) is not responding. What is puzzling, is that I can wget the file from the repository. The download seems to take > 3 minutes to start, (no wget activity) but then the connection is good for a while, stalls, but eventually picks up and completes. When the connection is active, I seem to have reasonable BW, otherwise I have 8B/sec or 0B/sec download. It is probably our network $WORK, but I have yet to have anyone be able to help me.
Since I have the file in question, where can I stuff this file, so that the installer sees it, and doesn't have to go to the slow repo to get it again. I think the dist-upgrade saves stuff in /var/log/dist-upgrade In main.log the last entries are: 2013-05-03 10:31:40,603 ERROR IOError in cache.commit(): 'Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/texlive-extra/texlive-fonts-extra_2009-10ubuntu1_all.debConnection failed '. Retrying (currentTry: 2) 2013-05-03 10:31:40,603 ERROR giving up on fetching after maximum retries Does anyone know where the files are saved for a dist-upgrade that hasn't finished?
