Not sure I understand what you mean. In a console one types "y[enter]"
or "n[enter]"
Actually only 'y' or 'Y' matters. Every other response causes apt-get
to abort.
And that's the weird part because even if I send a y or an Y, it will
abort. I also tried to convert it to ascii numbers with no success.
But the simple fact that it aborts must mean that it in fact reads
that I send 'something' to stdin, right?
I gave up. I just could not get a QProcess write to a process stdin. So
I made a 'dirty' workaround: I terminated apt-get after it ask it's
question, then start a new apt-get process with the 'assume yes' option
if the users answer is 'Yes'. Which brings me to my next question:
How can I call a Qdialog I have made in Qt3 designer and have it set a
variable ('answer') in my main program? The Qdialog only has two buttons
called pbUpgradeYes and pbUpgradeNo.
def readOutput(self):
outputString = QString(self.upgradeProcess.readStdout())
self.mainTextWindow.append(outputString)
# Check if upgradeProcess ask to continue
if outputString.endsWith("? "):
qApp.processEvents()
#### need to call QDialog 'confirmUpgrade' and have it set
'answer' ####
# Determine action to take
if answer == "upgradeYes":
self.upgradeProcess.tryTerminate()
self.doCommitUpgrade()
else:
self.upgradeProcess.tryTerminate()
self.mainTextWindow.append("User terminated")
ouputString = " "
Thanks
