Package: main-menu Version: 1.48 Severity: wishlist While setting up automated testing on jenkins.debian.org, I bumped into the fact that just at the moment kde-standard is not installable, with the result that the install stops at the Installation step failed error screen.
This lead me to notice that the error screen has neither any hint of the actual cause of the problem, nor how they might find out for themselves. Possible ways to make this better include: 1) Mention that one can see the syslog by typing CtrlAltF4 2) Display the tail end of the syslog on the same screen as the Error message 3) Add a button (perhaps only on the GTK version of the installer) "Show Log" which would then flip to a pager showing the tail end of the log. I'd favour 2) if it can be done in a fail-safe way that ensures that at the very least the error message makes it to the screen, even if the log cannot be displayed. Cheers, Phil.
