Bug ID: 930110 Summary: yast ncurses menus not properly formatted for tumbleweed ppc64 guest install Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 201503* Hardware: PowerPC-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: normand@linux.vnet.ibm.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: ---
yast ncurses menus not properly formatted for tumbleweed ppc64 guest install
Detailed flow: * On a Power KVM host I defined a libvirt twppc64.xml using the Tumbleweed-BE-DVD-ppc64-Snapshot20150505-Media.iso retrieved from https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/60778/asset/3110 * from a ssh session to the PowerKVM I started a screen window from which I started the ppc64 guest. === virsh define twppc64.xml virsh start --console twppc64 === * I captured successively the ncurses menus and did a yast2_ncurse_bad_format.tgz tarball with all those png files.
* The first problem is that the text is not properly aligned eg: yast2_img1_installation.png
* The 2nd problem is that some characters from previous menu are not cleaned up when new menu is presented. eg: yast2_img4_installation_option.png
* The third problem is popup window hardly visible eg: yast2_img9_confirm_password.png

--- Comment #4 from Stefan Hundhammer shundhammer@suse.com --- Michel, is it still broken when you force a screen redraw with Ctrl-L?
Also, is it a difference if you use another terminal window (e.g. xterm or xfce-term) rather than this Ubuntu Gnome-Terminal?

Michel, is it still broken when you force a screen redraw with Ctrl-L?
Also, is it a difference if you use another terminal window (e.g. xterm or xfce-term) rather than this Ubuntu Gnome-Terminal?
The problem seems to be specific to usage of screen (the screen manager terminal emulator)
Gnome terminal + ssh <host> + screen + virsh => failure Gnome terminal + ssh <host> + virsh => no display problem Xterm + ssh <host> + screen + virsh => failure Xterm + ssh <host> + virsh => no display problem
display redraw with Ctrl+L is partially cleaning the display.

--- Comment #6 from Stefan Hundhammer shundhammer@suse.com --- Since this only seems to happen with the "screen" terminal multiplexer command, IMHO this is really a problem of screen's terminal emulation; I don't see what we can do here.
Also, this is now 7 years old with no activity, so realistically this has been a WONTFIX during all that time. Closing.
