Debconf questions hidden, installer "freezes" #252

Open vladki77 opened 6 years ago

vladki77 commented 6 years ago

Hello,

I have installed ispconfig using this setup script, on almost clean system. I like to set debconf questions priority to low, and this is something you probably did not expect. The script stopped for long time, and when I chcecked the processes from another terminal session, I saw a whiptail (dialog) running. Fortunately I could see the question in process list, so I could blindly confirm the dialogs, and return later to reconfigure. However some dialogs have been shown, some of them full-screen, some of them 80x25. Also I did not really like that most of the actions were hidden and only logged.

I suggest that you do not hide the output of apt-get/dpkg from users, and perhaps switch debconf to text only at the beginning of the script, to avoid formatting garbage in install.log.

I have had a similar issue but on Ubuntu 18.04 - see https://github.com/servisys/ispconfig_setup/pull/301

If this is a recurring issue it would be nice to have some kind of mechanism to detect and log this to make reporting easier.
