I did a couple installs on real hardware today and came up with a list of things I noticed. Not all are bugs, some are just my opinion on the usability so far. For the non-anaconda devs reading this, be aware that the newui code is a work in progress and these items are not an exhaustive list of things to be done. * network screen - wlan0 configure button doesn't do anything, I couldn't set the password to connect to my AP - network details are set when the interface is selected, then goes away if the interface is off. - with multiple interfaces it feels like the listbox itself should have some way to indicate their status. Otherwise you have to step through them to see if any are on/connected. - If you don't activate an interface you get a TB from yumpayload.py RepoError not defined. It ends up we're importing the same error objects in multiple methods and one was left out. I think it is fine to do local imports when there is only one use, but for more than one it is cleaner to import it at the top of the module. We also have inconsistent use of some of the exceptions, using the short import name or the full path from yum.Errors.* * Install Destination - Using a USB stick for install, it shows up in the drive list and is selected. clicking on it clears the 'select a disk' warning, but doesn't toggle its state. If you leave the spoke and return then it toggles when clicked as expected. - The 'review and custom' checkbox in the install options dialog gets set back on when you unselect it and then hit cancel/go-back. It stays clear if you continue and then revisit the spoke. - The install options checkbox feels out of place to me. Instead of a single 'continue' button in the spoke we could instead have 2 buttons for review/custom or proceed. - When in this spoke I am unsure what continue is going to do or where it will take me. - There seems to be a resize happening when you go to this spoke, I can briefly see the upper right text left justified and then it jumps into place. I also see the disk selection section change size very quickly when entering the spoke. * Custom Partitioning - On the second visit to the custom partition spoke I get a TB complaining about filling in the ProductName - If I click on the create default layout I get a TB -- I think this is expected. It comes from kickstart execute() partitioning.py and throws a NoDiskError - I don't like the progressive disclosure used in custom where I have to click on at least 3 things to see the details of a partition (Unknown->partition->custom...). I'd rather see all the details from the start. * Installation Source - You can't select this until it finishes downloading the default metadata from the closest mirror. It takes enough time to download that you notice it. I think you should be able to enter the spoke and change the selection while the download is running -- eg. if you want to use a local repo instead. - The closest mirror selection looks empty with the blank text field, maybe pre-fill it with whatever mirror was picked? * Software Selection - After using the Install Destination with its back and continue buttons this spoke is a bit confusing with just a back button. * Install - This is still pretty rough, which is expected. - disk needs to be wiped and labeled for it to work right now - UEFI isn't working * Misc - Anaconda is using 99% of CPU - no upgrade checks yet, no prompt to unlock LUKS (expected) -- Brian C.
