Graphical User Interface #5

Closed mdhorn closed 5 years ago

mdhorn commented 6 years ago

Issue by mdhorn Wednesday Feb 21, 2018 at 01:37 GMT

Implementation of the User Interface using a Graphical library.

The GUI and the planned TUI should allow of the collect of the exact same set of data items. When possible in the design, the GUI and TUI should attempt to implement the same or similar screen types for data collection and follow a comparable workflow.

All public data from the Data Model (#4) should be settable in the GUI; though many items might only be accessible via an Advanced settings screen/menu. Several of the data items may be set by the Automatic Detection of Installation Environment (#5) in which case the use will not be prompted.

Estimated Effort: 8-10 person weeks

Check if the system has a graphics card: if [ -c /dev/dri/card0 ]; then echo GIU ; fi if so, launch GUI, else fall back to launching TUI

Best binding to use? https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3

Using gotk3 in my local experiments. As we're launching the installer from within a desktop we can trivially rely on gtk_init_check (gtk.InitCheck) in MustRun with the GUI set before the TUI in our cascade, and this will take care of appropriately using the GUI when a desktop environment is available (or rather, display server)
