[opensuse-factory] Yast wrongly rendered on first virtual console
Hi, On current Tumbleweed 20150712 I switched with CTRL+ALT+F1 to the first virtual console, logged in as root and started yast. The interface decorations, i.e. the borgedr are all wrong (wrong ASCII sign). When yast is started the second virtual console (CTRL+ALT+F2) the interface of yast is correctly displayed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It's probably related to systemd failing to setup first terminal properly. This was mentioned several times, I'm not sure if there was any resolution. I think in one case it was determined that loading video drivers reset terminal settings; I also know that if plymouth is active it may block terminal so loading font (mapping) becomes impossible. If you are using plymouth, try disabling it first to test. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Well, box-drawing characters being replaced by other characters has been an occassional issue even before systemd. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Please try the following as a workaround before loading YaST export NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1 Does it work? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

No. This doesn't change anything. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I suspect this is the same as a longstanding but sporadic cross-distro problem I see launching mc. http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/badtty132y.png If so, a workaround is preceding launch with unicode_start.

http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/badtty132y.png Yeah, I see a similar pattern, although with other characters.

Thanks for the links. In https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750326 I found that /usr/bin/systemctl restart systemd-vconsole-setup.service did solve the problem for openSUSE 12.3. Running this command prior starting yast does also fix the problem on Tumbleweed. Now I wonder wheter there are any sideeffects of restarting systemd-vconsole-setup. If there are no sideeffects: Can we incorporte systemd-vconsole-setup at startup or at the first time yast starts? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It should be included in initrd by dracut and run there already. Also there is systemd unit that runs it. So you should better debug why it fails to configure console. Running it when yast start is definitely wrong. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
