arm64/aarch64 graphical debian-installer
Hello all,
building an installable aarch64 live ISO with live-build produces
perfectly working images. They boot flawlessly into an X11 session
without any issues whatsoever.
But as soon as the debian-installer is booted, it unfortunately defaults
to the newt frontend and, adding insult to injury, always only on the
serial console.
While using DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gtk to force the graphical frontend
seemingly works, any existing preseed.cfg is silently ignored (see bug
1116551).
Then again, the official Debian installation ISO's for arm64/aarch64
seem to work perfectly fine using the graphical installer. So, not only
in theory, there doesn't seem to be any blocker to use the graphical
installer frontend for arm64/aarch64.
But what is the trick to actually enable it besides the buggy
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gtk parameter?
What is the elusive switch for which no trace can be found in the
documentation?
Can someone please enlighten me about how to enable the graphical
installer with arm64/aarch6?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Regards,
Paul
