[Bug 750326] New: YaST2 is unusable in ncurses mode on a fresh minimal-server install
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=750326 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=750326#c0 Summary: YaST2 is unusable in ncurses mode on a fresh minimal-server install Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: dfreeman@ieee.org QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.2 I installed a fresh openSUSE 12.1 x86 as a minimal-server install. I logged in as root once the running system was available. (Runlevel 3) I attempted to use YaST2 in ncurses mode. It was completely unusable. The borders were drawn with the wrong characters, most of the text was not drawn. I could tab through options to cause a partial redraw which allowed me to see just that one option, and by tabbing multiple times I could see some of what was going on. It was still basically unusable. After getting sshd up, I logged in remotely from a full install of openSUSE 12.1 x86-64. I ran YaST2 in ncurses mode, and it worked perfectly. After installing many more packages, making it no longer truly minimal, YaST2 now works correctly in ncurses mode on the local console too. Still in runlevel 3. In case it helps, I selected a language of "English (UK)" and keyboard of "English (US)" during installation, and haven't changed these since. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Clean install of openSUSE 12.1 x86 from DVD, minimal-server installation 2. Log into system at the console in runlevel 3, as root 3. Run YaST2 Actual Results: Screen is corrupted. YaST2 is unusable. Expected Results: YaST2 should be usable. A system in this state is very hard to configure without a working YaST2 in ncurses mode. -- 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.

After installing many more packages, making it no longer truly minimal, YaST2 now works correctly in ncurses mode on the local console too.
Can you provide a list of packages installed between the initial installation and "installing more packages"? /var/log/zypp/history is probably very helpful on this. (Ideally attach /var/log/zypp/history to this bugreport and point out the date it started to work.) -- 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.

does starting manually /lib/systemd/systemd-vconsole-setup (instead of calling unicode_start) fixes the issue ?
kbd initscript is not used under systemd, it is replaced by systemd-vconsole-setup (ie systemctl status systemd-vconsole-setup.service)
I have called /lib/systemd/systemd-vconsole-setup on a freshly installed system. It doesn't solve the problem. A warning message is shown: loadkeys: warning: loading Unicode keymap on non-Unicode console (perhaps you want to do `kbd_mode -u´?) -- 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.
