How to ask apt-get to skip any interactive post-install configuration steps?
How do I ask apt-get to skip any interactive post-install configuration steps? I have a server build script which uses apt-get to install packages. It then puts pre-written configuration files directly in place, so the interactive post-install configuration dialog in packages such as postfix is not needed.
How to bypass the yes / no prompt in apt-get upgrade?
In order avoid typing out all of the apt-get commands when updating my computer I have made a simple alias command to do it. But I really want to be able to just type in my alias and let it do its thing and not have to wait to for the yes/no prompt to type in “y”.
Do you need to use su before apt-get upgrade?
You need to combine it with –force-confdef to let dpkg overwrite configuration files that you have not modified. This updates the packages, upgrades the packages, removes unused packages, then removes old versions of packages. So long as you use su before all those steps, which I always do.
Do you have to reboot to do apt get upgrade?
This will perform the upgrades (confirming with -y) and then testing to see if a reboot is required. If a reboot is required, you can do so by pressing [ENTER], or cancel and reboot later by pressing [CTRL+C]. If no reboot is required, the alias finishes letting you know so.
