Preventing the Welcome Application Setup Wizard Message During Terminal Installation of a Debian Package Built with InstallBuilder
If you have created an installer using InstallBuilder and are experiencing issues with the Welcome Application Setup Wizard message displaying during installation in the terminal on Debian, this article will provide detailed information on how to prevent this message from appearing.
Understanding the Problem
When installing a package built with InstallBuilder in the terminal on Debian, the Welcome Application Setup Wizard message may appear, causing confusion and potentially interrupting the installation process. This message is displayed because the InstallBuilder installer is a graphical user interface (GUI) application, and the terminal is a text-based interface. The terminal attempts to launch the GUI installer, but since it is not running in a graphical environment, the Welcome Application Setup Wizard message is displayed instead.
Preventing the Welcome Application Setup Wizard Message
To prevent the Welcome Application Setup Wizard message from appearing during installation, you can modify the installer's configuration to use a text-based interface instead of a graphical one. This can be done by adding the following line to the installer's configuration file:
[Runtime]
Interface=text
By setting the Interface option to "text", the installer will use a text-based interface, and the Welcome Application Setup Wizard message will not be displayed. This will ensure that the installation process runs smoothly and without interruption in the terminal on Debian.
