After the upgrade to kernel-desktop 4.0.0 booting the system gives the normal green splash screen with the curved lines. So this part is solved. However using yast with ncurses on tty1 gives still gives strange characters instead of the characters that draw lines on the screen. So I assume the wrong character set is configured for that console. Also messages in Dutch which may have a character like ë is not displayed as one character but as two, a bit strange, characters.
When the command "systemctl restart systemd-vconsole-setup.service"is given before invoking yast the line drawing characters, as they should appear, are shown. This command is only necessary on tty1. So during start up somehow this command is needed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
