I selected "nomodeset" (due to Xorg not starting) and the installation was doing fine in textmode. After reboot I logged into the text console as root and had a locale setting of all LC_XXX set to POSIX but LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 Starting yast brings up the textmode version but all the special graphical characters (lines, corners) are displayed as multiple wrong characters, which not only looks ugly but the main problem is that yast becomes unusable as the multi-characters overlap the following lines so one can not read what yast writes. unset LC_CTYPE solves the problem, but the installation should not leave only this variable in the wrong setting. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: yast should be usable after a fresh (german) install in textmode also without the need to fiddle with settings (and to invest time in finding out the root cause) -- 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.
