Hi I need help with console font settings. I installed a minimal textmode pattern of OpenSuse 12.1. Now the line-characters of yast and mc look all messed up.
On the other hand when I login by ssh and do "export TERM=linux" everthing is OK. The ssh-client is set to TERM=linux, too and as "remote character set" set to UTF8.
When I login locally "TERM=linux" doesn't help. I suspect yast and mc use UTF8 line characters but the console is set to LATIN1 or something like that.
How can I set up the console charset to look usable?
After some googling I found a handfull of references to the same problem but no real solution. There were hints for /etc/sysconfig/console but I compared it against the same file on an Suse12.1 that has the more extended desktop selection of packets. The 2 files are identical. Then I did setfont -O , setfont -ou , setfont -om on both machines and found the sizes of the 3 outputs to be different. Next I copied those files from the desktop-machine to the textmode-machine and did a: setfont -m with the output of the desktop-machine. After that the textmode machine's console looked OK. How can I setup the unicode-translation like the desktop-box as it is obviously different in the minimal-setup? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
