Package: cdebconf-entropy
Version: 0.7
Severity: minor
The following dialog has been discussed before:
Key data has been created successfully
My personal main objection is that the message is rather meaningless and
confusing to users. The term "key data" is vague and has not previously
been introduced.
I would suggest to replace it with a different dialog (that is possibly
displayed at a later point in the code) that simply says:
The random key has been created successfully.
I also suggest changing:
Enter random characters or move mouse randomly
to:
Enter random characters or make random movements with your mouse
Also, the newt frontend (and presumably also the gtk one) have a "Continue"
button that is not accessible; at least in the newt frontend you cannot use
"tab" to activate it.
Possibly the tab key (and the escape key, and maybe even the enter key)
should be handled differently by the code and not be used as "random
characters".
Is the "Continue" button defined at all? What happens if it is clicked?
Does it even make sense to have a "Continue" button? It would effectively
leave the installer with insufficient entropy to actually continue.
I think that having a "Go back" button to break off the process of gathering
entropy would make more sense.
Cheers,
FJP
