Comment 1 Stefan Assmann 2008-11-27 13:35:16 UTC
seems to happen only on serial console, any idea what could be wrong?
Comment 2 Michael Andres 2008-12-01 13:30:05 UTC
Please attach the yast2 logfiles (see http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST).

Is it only this message, or all umlauts wrong?
Comment 3 Stefan Assmann 2008-12-01 15:40:13 UTC
sorry, don't have the logs around, but I don't think that's an issue.

The thing is I've tried this twice.
1. locally on the machine it displays the "ü" correctly.
2. remote installation over serial console, that's where I got für

Any idea?
Comment 4 Michael Andres 2008-12-03 13:19:52 UTC
Looks like the serial console does not suport utf-8. The locale variables don't matter, the terminals capability is important. But I'm not shure if and how this can be configured.
Comment 5 Stefan Assmann 2008-12-04 15:55:13 UTC
This was caused screen.

Using utf8 on and things work just fine. Thanks!
