I think the problem is that LANG is set to POSIX. When starting the ncurses UI
nl_langinfo( CODESET ) is called to get the character encoding used. The y2log
file shows that for LANG=POSIX the encoding is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968:
YNCursesUI.cc(YNCursesUI):75 setenv LC_CTYPE: C encoding: ANSI_X3.4-1968
NCstring.cc(setTerminalEncoding):325 Terminal encoding SET to: ANSI_X3.4-1968
YApplication.cc(setLanguage):160 Setting language to POSIX.UTF-8.ANSI_X3.4-1968
The question is: why is LANG set to POSIX?
I have tested the installation workflow and the installed system (xterm,
konsole) with ncurses UI - no problems to enter 'umlauts'. LANG, as well as all
other locale settings, are always set to <language>.UTF-8.
When exactly do the problems with 'umlauts' start? Changing the language with
yast language module sets all locale settings to UTF-8. How do you set up your
locale settings?
