<title>Automatic Installation of Debian Packages</title>
|
|
|
|
<body>
|
|
<p>The Debian packages will request some user feedback when installed for the first time. The debconf system is used
|
|
to perform this task. To prevent any user interaction during installation, default values can be defined. A file
|
|
<codeph>vboxconf</codeph> can contain the following debconf settings: </p>
|
|
<pre xml:space="preserve">virtualbox virtualbox/module-compilation-allowed boolean true
|
|
virtualbox virtualbox/delete-old-modules boolean true</pre>
|
|
<p>The first line enables compilation of the vboxdrv kernel module if no module was found for the current kernel.
|
|
The second line enables the package to delete any old vboxdrv kernel modules compiled by previous installations. </p>
|
|
<p>These default settings can be applied prior to the installation of the <ph
|
|
conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> Debian package, as follows: </p>
|
|
<pre xml:space="preserve">debconf-set-selections vboxconf</pre>
|
|
<p>In addition there are some common configuration options that can be set prior to the installation. See <xref
|
|
href="linux_install_opts.dita#linux_install_opts"/>. </p>
