[opensuse-factory] 12.2 beta VirtualBox problem
12.2 beta2 updated with Yast Online Update yesterday Hi everyone I have a problem with 12.2 on VirtualBox. The 4.1.16 that came with 12.2 gave a very large virtual text screen (the ones that have to have scrollbars) which is really annoying when working in a console in text mode. I removed 4.1.16 and installed 4.1.18. Same problem. The graphics modes are fine, it's just the cli. I have tried with and without the guest additions. Both versions of vbox work as expected on 12.1 Any ideas how to fix this?

you can try as root yast2 bootloader go to "Boot Loader Options" and change the console resolution I think, the default value was reduced to 800x600 for RC1, but as you upgraded, you kept the old huge default from Beta2.

Hi Bernhard Thanks. That did it. The problem with beta testing on vbox is that on old hardware, it takes all day to install unless you do a zypper dup with the RC repos.

The virtual environment has every right to claim it supports VESA modes like 1920x1080, and the kernel just picks the largest one by default since it cannot know that it is a virtual environment. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Set the size you want for the cli console using Yast > Boot Loader > Edit > (Choose the kernel you want) > Vga Mode I find 800 x 600 is a good size for the console.

JFYI, the original 80x25 text mode equals 720x400 [80*9, 25*16]. But, due to a bug^W"missing feature", it's 640x400 [80*8] in fbcon :/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
