** Description changed: Binary package hint: update-manager ------- Summary: Cant resize error window to read output. It only allows the reading of 3 lines at a time. (Screenshot at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/739647/+attachment/2107176/+files/ys7vJ.png) ------- The window that Update Manager shows when an error happens is not resizable, which makes it very hard to read the error message. See attached screenshot. + ------- + Some suggestions on how to improve the error dialog from a duplicate, bug #365972: + I think this dialog can be improved a few ways: + - rather than just displaying 2 lines (of 12), display all tweleve + - rather than just displaying as much as will fit horizontally, perhaps perform common string replacement and display things heirarchically? + + e.g. + + in this case the url might be: + + http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/foo/main/binary-amd64/Packages + http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/foo/main/source/Sources + http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/foo-updates/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages + + perhaps: + + http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ + foo/main/binary-amd64/Packages + foo/main/source/Sources + foo-updates/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages + + instead?
