Huh?
since you have "/usr/bin/unicode_start" you should have a package "kbd", and "rpm -ql kbd |grep /etc/" should give you: "/etc/init.d/kbd"
It gives null on two systems tried, one not having this problem (gx280), and (the thread starter) having it (gx27b).
Interim solution: to your ~/.profile file add this line:
/usr/bin/tty | /usr/bin/grep -c /dev/tty >/dev/null && /usr/bin/unicode_start
That should invoke unicode_start on a login to a tty and bring an end to the situation for you. Not nice, but working.
This problem needs no workaround hiding it. It's a nuisance worse than mere polish that ought to have its cause and a proper solution found before 13.2 final, preferably much sooner. 'rpm -q -filesbypkg -p kbd-1.15.5-6.4.i586.rpm' output finds no instance of string "service". String kbd does not appear in chkconfig -l output either. I tried force reinstalling kbd, but it had no apparent effect. I found /usr/lib/systemd/system/kbd.service as a symlink to /dev/null (same as Patrick noted in thread 2+ hours ago) timestamped 9 days ago. Is there any rational reason for this to happen?
If kbd.service exists, systemctl list-units should list it, correct? If not, why not?

But this bug is about loading language specific font. I still have no problem running yast in console, so you see something different. I'm afraid someone having this problem has to debug it. Try booting in single user; try disable as much as possible (and yes, plymouth is the first thing to disable). Try different user (root and normal user have different locale settings by default). Try booting in different run levels. Someone who has this issue needs to find out reliable way to reproduce it or at least find out what triggers it. Otherwise it will never be fixed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

something else afoot here, I believe we are chasing the cat up the wrong tree. I experience the same incorrect display for mc on the first tty after boot or anytime since boot when "unicode_start" has not been manually applied in tty1. I have plymouth enabled but boot to rl3 in a text screen. Felix has this problem and has plymouth uninstalled. I just installed 13.1 in a vbox which does not have the problem. note: Tumbleweed -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I rarely type anything on tty1, preferring to leave the boot messages undisturbed except in the very rare cases when I need to use a 6th concurrent tty. As of now, I'm conscious of 2 installations of 13.2 having this problem out of 9 total. There may be more, but no more than 6 or 7 tops, as there are at least 2 working as they should. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

I hit something like this during every first login after installation (I do a lot test installations in VM); it needs reboot to get right. My best guess is that console setup depends on system locale and on the first boot it is not yet set properly. But I never was annoyed enough to spend time on it.
