[Bug 584493] New: setterm -background blue -foreground white -bold -blank 20 -store malfunctions in 2.6.33
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=584493 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=584493#c0 Summary: setterm -background blue -foreground white -bold -blank 20 -store malfunctions in 2.6.33 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Factory Platform: PC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mrmazda@earthlink.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- For years in .bashrc I have had: setterm -background blue -foreground white -bold -blank 20 -store Since doing recent Factory updates and M2 installs this no longer produces desired results that stick. Initially colors are fine, but after a short time running various cmdline apps and/or commands the desired colors start getting replaced by a mixture of odd colors, and white text on black background. Once this starts happening, the clear command instead of white on blue gives gray on black. I typically have a mc session on tty2 and a plain command prompt on tty3. Switching between tty2 & tty3 seems to possibly bring on the corruption sooner, and leaves portions of the mc menubars green where they should be cyan, with light gray text where text should be black. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Is this a KMS vs non-KMS issue?
If you're asking me, I can only say that the behavior is the same using X600 chip regardless whether cmdline has 'splash=verbose vga=791 3' or 'splash=verbose vga=791 3 nomodeset'. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes, but splash=silent is still used, right?
Not in any of my Grub stanzas. All have one of splash=0, splash=verbose, splash=off or no splash anything. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Felix: have you tried UMS, yet? -> use the nomodeset or for ATI cards the radeon.modeset=0 kernel command line option.
Is UMS something different from nomodeset or radeon.modeset=0? If not, I think I answered the question in comment 7. The only thing that has helped so far with or without KMS enabled is using a Vanilla kernel. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Perhaps you should (not) use a framebuffer module to set the video mode (see: fbset + modprobe /lib/modules/../fb* first)? More likely your framebuffer driver (as usually activated for vt01 /dev/fd0 to show the background bitmap) is what causes problems here (try modprobing/blacklisting different fbs + use fbset).
What background bitmap? Splashy and bootsplash are not installed. This only happens with openSUSE kernels, not vanilla (or other distros than openSUSE). I don't see anything in the fbset man page about setting background color. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But these calls are bug fixes at the same time. So, I'd revert the stuff for 11.3 and 11.4, and fix better for FACTORY.

Actually this is only much better, not entirely fixed. The -bold part of my .bashrc setterm command is not restored. I get bright white on login, but any number of activities makes it go away, only to be restored on fresh login, running setterm again, or executing clear.
I can't reproduce it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Turns out on one machine I had in 11.3, 11.4 & 12.1 set PS1="\h:\W\ # " in bashrc to get rid of the red root prompt, which is what resulted in my comment 49. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
