this is an old mockup (that was working, but this ui has been scrapped for a much simpler one as this framework was way overkill for what i needed)

ChaiQi•11/28/23, 8:35 AM

about a third of my reason for doing this is so I can hedge it a bit and put "full stack app developer for a project with >20,000 users" on my resume

ChaiQi•11/28/23, 8:36 AM

the other two thirds being:

to learn
because I strongly feel the project needs it

HikariKnightOP•11/28/23, 8:37 AM

yeah all are valid good reasons

HikariKnightOP•11/28/23, 8:37 AM

HikariKnightOP•11/28/23, 9:38 AM

im not making an installer though, im making a guided way to configure gpu passthrough on a host system, the tui is just very similar to an installer as thats kind of what it is in the end

HikariKnightOP•11/28/23, 9:39 AM

as configuring the host is the main part most people with compatible hardware fails at

that's very cryptic, and usually an imager makes images, right?

HikariKnightOP•11/28/23, 9:58 AM

in all seriousness could be anything from rebaser to switcher

xyny•11/28/23, 9:58 AM

something related to switching would be better i think

CChaiQi Status update on the image switcher app

xyny•11/28/23, 10:00 AM

Things that are bothering me as a visual person:

The rebase button is pretty hidden and feels like it's in the wrong place. It should probably be a primary color and not a background color. I would also place it just next, above, or below to the rebase command. Maybe the command should be hidden by default...
The dropdowns are all different sizes and are maybe a bit too high. The space between the command and the dropdowns is too huge compared to the space with edges.
The links to the image list and faq feel out of place, but I get they're probably not ready.

bsherman•11/28/23, 3:18 PM

all ublue-os/main builds failed ... a network/dns issue on the builder machines... so I'm attempting a retry

ChaiQi•11/28/23, 3:25 PM

Yeah. I'm used to working in HTML and CSS rather than XML, so that's a large part of why "polish UI" was at the top of my to do list. I should be able to fix most or all of those things

ChaiQi•11/28/23, 3:30 PM

I want the rebase command and links to be present in some way, probably alongside some other info/links, but there are ways to hide those from the users who wouldn't get anything from them anyway

ChaiQi•11/28/23, 3:32 PM

A priority for me is to keep all this as compact and simple as possible so I am not the only one who can maintain it

Bbsherman Looks like schedule maintenance on COPR servers

EyeCantCU•11/28/23, 3:41 PM

Yup. Just encountered that trying to fix Bazzites builds

EyeCantCU•11/28/23, 3:42 PM

Thought it was my network connection for a minute there lol

EyeCantCU•11/28/23, 4:01 PM

Looks like RPM Fusion is doing a bit of maintenance too. At least pkgdb appears to be down

EEyeCantCU Yup. Just encountered that trying to fix Bazzites builds

dnkmmr•11/28/23, 5:06 PM

yeah there hasn't been a successful build for 8 days

ChaiQi•11/28/23, 5:11 PM

>no update for 8 days, the horror
vs: arch broke three different critical ways upstream in the last 8 days
or: ubuntu broke half a year ago because of a still two year old package

ChaiQi•11/28/23, 5:11 PM

I like it here lol

ChaiQi•11/28/23, 5:17 PM

I don't mean to call out arch or ubuntu specifically, I just thought it was fascinating and worth noting that the lack of a (broken) update for a week is about the extent of things going wrong here

ChaiQi•11/28/23, 8:11 PM

I'd hope so, at least - mostly because we have the concrete evidence right there in the failed builds. I think I saw 3 different critical breakages Arch would have ingested in regular updates, and I imagine the glibc (library?) update would cause long-term issues for Debian/Ubuntu as apps update beyond system packages. Here, all three hit, and just.. never reached users, and we stay on the last stable update for a few days/weeks until a stable one builds successfully

HikariKnightOP•11/28/23, 8:12 PM

hence why i liked the idea of bazzite and ublue
i do however keep around 1 computer with a normal system for you know, actual testing outside of the mutability when needed
