Application Names List For apt-get install command

Since its easier and less time consuming to install applications through x-terminal by "using apt-get install" command, is there any list available to view the exact file names of applications to download. I can find and guess some names but others are virtually impossible to predict, specially with spaces.

apt-cache search might help you out finding apps based on parts of the name. For example, if you want to find mbarcode, you could write

apt-cache search barcode

I think you're looking for this:

Code:

xterminal

sudo gainroot

apt-cache pkgnames

It will take some time...

Or even you can do this:

Code:

apt-cache pkgnames |sort |more

So the list will be sorting and paging

You can also:

Code:

# apt-cache dumpavail --no-all-versions > /home/user/MyDocs/pkglist.txt

Then use your favourite text editor (vi) to view pkglist.txt with details :)

This command you gave me doesn't work. If I enter
apt-cache dumpavail --no-all-version > /home/user/MyDocs/pkglist.txt
it says E: Command line option --no-all-version is not understood

If I enter
apt-cache dumpavail -no-all-version > /home/user/MyDocs/pkglist.txt

It says "E: Option -no-all-version: configuration item specification must have an -<val>"

If I enter
apt-cache dumpavail > /home/user/MyDocs/pkglist.txt

it loads the file pkglist.txt in n900 directory, but file is 18mb in size and text editor gives an error "can't load, file is too large".

Please, rectify the problem

ah sorry - it should have been "--no-all-versions", but anyway that's just to reduce 'duplicates' in the list and reduce the file size slightly.

I've got extras etc enabled and end up with a 15mb file. "vi" loads it in a flash and has no problem moving/searching around.

You could always just use faster application manager ;)

Re: Application Names List For apt-get install command

If you want a real full list (without library packages) you can use this:

Code:

apt-cache search \ | grep -v ^lib | sort | more
