Hi,
My current project involves profiling against AWS instances that I spin up specifically for profiling. The AWS instances get erased at the end of the session. I'm therefore installing vTune profiler quite frequently (on Linux).
To save a little time each time I run up an instance, I'd hoped to use the silent install; so I ran through my 'normal' install using:
install.sh -d vtune_install.conf
In this installation, I customised it to remove GUI compnents. The components recorded in `vtune_install.conf` were:
COMPONENTS=;intel-vtune-profiler-2020-cli-common__noarch;intel-vtune-profiler-2020-common__noarch;intel-vtune-profiler-2020-cli__x86_64;intel-vtune-profiler-2020-cli-32bit__i486;intel-vtune-profiler-2020-collector-32linux__i486;intel-vtune-profiler-2020-collector-64linux__x86_64;intel-vtune-profiler-2020-doc__noarch;intel-vtune-profiler-2020-sep__noarch;intel-vtune-profiler-2020-target__noarch;intel-vtune-profiler-2020-vpp-server__x86_64;intel-vtune-profiler-2020-common-pset
When I run
install.sh --silent vtune_install.sh
I get an error:
Missing critical prerequisite -- ALSA library is not found. 'Graphical user interface' compenent(s) cannot be installed ...
with a bit more info about ALSA and then a complaint about X11 not being present followed by a suggestion to deselect the 'Graphical user interface' compenent(s). As I mentioned, I had done this in the manual install which I'd previously done to generate the config for the silent install, the selected components that I listed above from the config also don't seem to include GUI components.
Is it actually possible to do a silent install without the GUI and if so, how can this be done?
Many thanks,
Dominic
