User does not get an usage warning (or where to report bugs) [development] [0.15] [NewUI] #552

Open karasu opened 8 years ago

karasu commented 8 years ago

Problem:

With new UI, language screen has disappeared (we should discuss this, at first I was ok with it but now I don't feel the same way).

Anyway, as it is now, the user does not get a fair warning that Cnchi is beta software and where to report bugs if found.

Steps To Reproduce:

  1. Run Cnchi 0.15

@karasu I wanted to discuss the language thing as well. I really like the idea of it not being a screen by itself. However, as it is now, it doesn't work properly (for reasons I havent figured out yet). Everything I find online says that changing the language of an application after its running is problematic. Even in v0.14 there is error output to the logs when switching the language on the language screen.

I'd really like to find a way to have the user choose language before Cnchi starts but I'm not sure how to do it yet. I thought LightDM could do it but turns out I was wrong.

Regarding the beta/bugs message, I was thinking we could place it at the bottom of the Check Screen. What do you think?

Maybe we could create a little app that would let user choose the language (it could also take care of cnchi's updates, getting pacman repositories ready, ....). Then, it would launch Cnchi with the correct settings. (this way we could get the system ready for running Cnchi).

Do you think it's feasible? (and if it would be useful?)

Yes, I think that would be ok.
