Sending this to both Ken (SUSE's UX expert) and the yast-devel ML (for public scrutiny).
We have recently implemented a new feature in YaST about installing packages that are needed to inspect the storage setup of a system. But we are not satisfied with the usability, so we wanted to have some feedback about how to do things better.
Here you can find a description of the problem: https://gist.github.com/ancorgs/d2565bf505834329946a998500a326c8
Feel free to comment in that gist or via mail.
My own 2 cents. I would change the dialog to something like this: ===================================== Probing LUKS failed The following package needs to be installed to fully analyze the storage devices on the system: cryptsetup If you continue without installing it, the system information presented by YaST will be incomplete. [Install] [Ignore and Continue] ======================================= In other words: - I would present the name of the package right away, with that, I don't think we need the "details" button (the exact command is not important). - Offering the possibility to abort right away is likely also not so important. The user can always abort after having closed the pop-up (all YaST modules contain a button to quit anyways). - Use a not-so-technical wording (I'm open to suggestions to improve my proposal). Good enough?
