The default for textmode YaST is UTF-8 because the YaST start script ('/sbin/yast') sets UTF-8 mode. This works for former versions because on a (local) console the UTF-8 mode for the terminal was enabled by calling '/bin/unicode_start' in '/sbin/yast'. It doesn't work any longer because the test script '/bin/testutf8' which is used in '/sbin/yast' to check whether the console is in UTF-8 mode has changed (always returns UTF-8 is enabled) and therefore unicode_start isn't called. '/bin/testutf8' (from package kbd) has to be restored to make '/sbin/yast' work correctly (to call /bin/unicode_start, see line 345 and also to work for xterm, see line 377). To get a working YaST for now you can call '/bin/unicode_start' on command line before starting 'yast' or call YaST without start script ('/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base menu ncurses'). -- 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.
