If we get an error from pling, and the user chooses to create a bug report, can we auto populate that report with the correct category? . I am thinking that maybe we need to change the way error reporting happens in general. We could have an error page that gets offered to the user in a dialog or a notification or something. The page would look a bit like the crashed process viewer and offer a list of all the defects that happened during the update/install/remove and a way to drill down into low level details of what happened there. |
Created attachment 179705 [details] Error message. Is there anyway the error prompt could be cleaned up a bit? Maybe if it is a error for a kde app, if there is ever one. It will bring up the bug tracker? The one where it asks for more info on what you are doing to send a bug report. Or brings you to kde bugs with the system info and bug report filled in to a degree. Then asks for more info. For 3rd party maybe it could be more simple with a link to the git hub/lab. Like I understand what the error talking about but I know non tech user would not. Like not knowing what to do with the "copy to clipboard" There is the dialog before "There was an issue during the update or installation process. Please try again later" but that could be confusing on if anything actually finished installing that didn't fail. And if it happens more often they might/will click the "See Technical Details" copy paste it into a browser an wont get any useful information. At the least having it say X Y and Z failed but everything else was updated might be useful.
