http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537316 Summary: ncurses installation: Desktop selection screen is too large Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: aj@novell.com ReportedBy: aj@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: coolo@novell.com, michl@novell.com, kmachalkova@novell.com Found By: Development Katarina commented on the new long desktop selection text as follows: This is the best we can get in ncurses 80x25 after adjusting some spacing here and there. It chops off the bottom text line, hides Gnome entry and Back/Abort/Next buttons as soon as the user selects 'Other' option (esp. the latter is rather bad as the user now can't hit Next button - s/he must figure out that s/he needs to press F10 to continue the installation as the status line advises) And - this is in English, I can imagine things are much worse in "verbose" languages such as German and French Solutions: i) Break the DE description into two strings in CF, do not show the second one (last paragraph) in text-mode. ii) Move the last paragraph into help text completely (for both GUI and TUI) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
