Maybe you could mount the ISO

then follow vor's instructions

i have mounted ISO image into /media/cdrom

then i executed the command "sudo apt-cdrom add"

it asks to insert the cdrom.

how to use this "apt" command to add our mounted path ?

If you know where the USB drive is mounted, you could try:



sudo apt-cdrom -d=/place/where/usb/drive/is/mounted


I have no idea if that will work but, it's worth a try.

hi vor, thanks for your input.

but it is not worked.

any other way to upgrade XFCE environment on ubuntu? without using internet connection.

You could try extracting the .iso to "/var/cache/apt/archives" and then running:


sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

No guarantees that this will work though...
