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.

It's probably related to systemd failing to setup first terminal properly.

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?

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 Yeah, I see a similar pattern, although with other characters.

If so, a workaround is preceding launch with unicode_start. I think Andrei's thread response alludes to the same thing. Because I never got close to creating any reliable reproduction case, I never filed any suse bug, but here is discussion of problem:

Other distros: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/1437589 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=889710

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.
