Description
The installer has a CLI interface, but this falls down on server images.
Method to Reproduce
- Install Ubuntu 2022.4 LTS Server
- Run the installer using CLI
- See `error while loading shared libraries: libxkbcommon-x11.so.0`
Close Criteria
one or more of the following:
- The installer should lazy load the required libraries at runtime, to allow a single installer to serve gui and cli - e.g. dlopen
- A parameter for binarycreator that creates a self extracting archive (makeself) that bakes in some LD_PRELOAD hackery.
- A parameter for binarycreator that builds an installer without the x11 libraries linked.
Remarks
The workarounds found in other tickets no longer work, or never worked on certain platforms. This would be a very nice to have feature.
