(SOLVED) Installer not using YAD when going to debconf

Sat Jan 21, 2017 3:59 pm

Greets... in rebuilding from scratch I have ran into an issue with the refractainstaller-yad not using dialog or yad and I suspect it is an application I have missed

When I run refractainstaller-yad from the terminal and it gets to the tzdata configure (debconf) portion the installer gets stuck in the terminal instead of popping up the dialog menu box that is the norm

Anyone know the application needed for the correct dialog windows to pop up?

I have scoured the webz trying to trace it but am coming up empty

Will create screenshots if needed to show differences

Thanks

More information: Every other part of the yad dialog boxes works perfectly.. it is only the Configuring tzdata menu that is not running yad

This is what it normally does:

this is what is happening now:

and none of the functions work.. if I exit the terminal the installer continues without configuring tzdata

libgtk2-perl


Is what was needed.. hakerdefo over on VSIDO forums got it right
