mc and yast unusable in runlevel 3
Last modified: 2015-11-09 16:57:24 UTC
Text and menus are unreadable in mc and yast in runlevel 3. Similar to Bug 750326: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=750326 Bug 556555 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=556555#c7 has attachment https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=328219 that is similar to what happens. System: openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE 20151030 x86_64 kernel 4.2.4-1-default, systemd-224-1.1 Steps to reproduce: - boot in runlevel 3 (or CTRL+Alt+F1 in KDE) - login (regular user or root) - run mc or yast2 Expected result: text and menus are readable Actual result: garbled unreadable text/menus (similar to https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=328219) Reproducible: always Note: launching mc or yast2 from konsole in KDE is OK Workaround: (current session only): before mc or yast run unicode_start or /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-vconsole-setup
It seems this bug is systemd, not yast2, related but I do not see systemd in the Component list. This is why I choosed Basesystem. Also I do not know who it should be assigned to (systemd maintainer).
Can you confirm that this is a duplicate of bug 927250? To test, you should be able to fix it using the workaround in bug 927250, comment 24.
I'm at work right now and I do not have Tumbleweed here. I will test tonight.
Looks like everybody agrees this is not a yast2 specific issue. But a systemd problem related to ncurses. Thus, reassigning to systemd maintainers.
- the issue described in bug Bug 927250 is the same. - tested the workaround in Bug 927250, comment 24 and it works. - marking as duplicate of Bug 927250 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 927250 ***
