Description Jonathan Arsenault 2005-10-11 02:39:46 UTC

When upgrading from 9.3 to 10.0 a box using the ncurse component of YaST2 over a
ssh connection i select all upgrade then click accept and i get dumped to yast
main screen with all control frozen (using xterm on a 10.1 station). Update seem
to work correctlly by looking at running process but i cant see the progress.

tried to find something to tail to get feedback about yast but i cant seem to
find where it log his action if anywhere ?

Yes.

Please read: http://www.opensuse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ#YaST
and provide the information described there.

Morover, this sounds to me like a problem that is not caused by YaST itself,
rather than by the terminal(-settings). Which encoding do you use on the system
you're connecting from? UTF-8 is standard in 10.0, so this problem might be
located here. Can you read all special characters at any yast2-dialog?

Comment 2 Jonathan Arsenault 2005-10-11 20:42:38 UTC

Result of a locale on the machine used to connect from :
jarson@sds-workstation:~> locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
/* all showing utf8 */
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

This one is a i686 intel machine running suse 10.1a1 and yeah all dialog of YaST
or other ncurse based program work fine.

The target was running 9.3 on a duron with ati redeaon 7000. locale also show as
utf-8 (didnt check before upgrade but was probably in utf8 too).

So the installation finished and i was prompted to do a reboot as expected
because of new kernel and the terminal unfrozed , was able to remotlly reboot
the machine.

Problem at reboot graphic are corrupted cpu all taken by X and box randomlly
freeze. runlevel-5 is unusable. open other bug ?

YaST wasnt instructed to log during the update, taugh this should be done
automaticlly, so i dunno what to furnish as asked.

OK, maby Stanislav can help us here? Could be a problem with the
ncurses-Interface itself.

Comment 4 Stanislav Visnovsky 2005-11-30 09:57:31 UTC

I can't reproduce the problem. I'm afraid even the logs can't help here :(
