Hi Bernhard, I had discussion with my colleagues about UI and about usability. The result is some widgets are not clear for understanding their main goals. I would like to change some of them. ,---- Enable/Disable Kdump ---------------------------------, | | | (o) Enable kdump | | ( ) Disable kdump | | ( ) Disable kdump (Remove the Kernel Parameter) | | | ............................................................. The frame "Enable/Disable Kdump" looks good but... The better is split removing kernel parameter and enable/disable kdump service. ,---- Enable/Disable Kdump ---------------------------------, | | | (o) Enable kdump | | ( ) Disable kdump | | | ............................................................. ,---- Boot Option (crashkernel) for Kdump ------------------, | | | (o) Add Boot Option | | ( ) Remove Boot Option | | | ............................................................. What is your opinion? I interested in option "Enable kdump" from the frame "Enable/Disable Kdump". I am not sure if it is good idea enable kdump service without booting with kernel parameter for kdump. Could you write me something about dependencies between "kdump service" and "kernel parameter" for kdump? What happen if machine boots without crashkernel parameter and user enable/disable kdump service etc.? Next there is the frame for switching between options KDUMP_COMMANDLINE and KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND. ,---- Command Line -----------------------------------------, | | | Kdump Command Line ( ) Append | | [_____________________] (O) Replace | | | | | ............................................................. Radiobuttons Append and Replace are good solution but radiobutton Replace has wrong name. It is not clear what the radiobutton Replace means. Probably better name for radiobutton will be "Normal". Maybe longer description for radiobuttons will be better too. (Append kdump Commandline / Normal kdump Commandline) I prefer solution with 1 checkbox: ,---- Command Line -----------------------------------------, | | | Kdump Command Line | | [_______________________] ( ) Append kdump Commandline | | | | | ............................................................. If user select checkbox "Append kdump Commandline" the frame "Command Line" is changed: ,---- Command Line -----------------------------------------, | | | Kdump Command Line Append | | [_______________________] (X) Append kdump Commandline | | | | | ............................................................. My final question is about KDUMP_KEEP_OLD_DUMPS. Could you write me the maximum value for this options from /etc/sysconfig/kdump? ------------------------------------------------------------- I accept that name of push buttons will be "[Browse]". Using tabs or left-handed-tree: I am sure that final version of UI will has 4 dialogs maybe 5. (There are still some open points) It is not problem transfer left-hand-tree to the tabs. If final version has 4 dialogs I transfer UI to the tabs. I will continue with left-hand-tree. After clearing all options and settings for kdump we can start discussion about using tabs or left-hand-tree. I will delete unclear options from module. It doesn't mean that the deleted parts are lost. :) I only temporary delete parts which are not clear now. You will find new mock-ups on the wiki soon.
