Linux installers should display federation information (name / logo) if configured #6
Comments
Not really possible with the current selection of tools |
Should be reclassified to feature request - this is not a bug! |
My understanding of the Linux installer is that it is user-interactively, and displays the inst logo on its first page. It doesn't sound very difficult to add the NRO logo besides, just like the Windows installer now does? |
My bad, it only displays the name, not the logo. So, adding the name should be sufficient. |
@restena-sw I had a solution to our problem. However, we need all institution images online accessible. A second problem is if the user hasn't internet access. So it's not perfect :/
|
Hm, it is a bit suboptimal to reference the consortium logo by external URL indeed. @twoln I think we should bundle it inside the installer if possible. |
I wonder how the following is displayed:
If it is displayed large enough, we could provide an amalgamation of the inst and fed logo together and display that. |
I think this won't be work. See here. We could switch to YAD, but I don't know how many distros have it built-in. |
I am on holiday till the end of August, so I am not able to comment at the moment. |
I would be against adding such an external dependency for the installation. I tried using the file: URL but this does not seem to work. Adding yad support would be doable, after all we now support both zenity and kdialog, but the question is is it really worth the effort. |
I leave it entirely up to you. It is certainly not a big or urgently needed feature. Actually, I thought this would have been much easier. Displaying a piece of graphics in a message window should not be sorcery. But Zenity proved me wrong, apparently it IS and not available for simple mortals. |
For better integration and visibility of NROs, the installers should show the federation logo and name where appropriate, together with the institution one.
