It uses the value of CONSOLE_SCREENMAP in /etc/sysconfig/console.
It should likely be an empty string instead of "none".

/usr/share/YaST2/modules/Console.rb already initializes the value with "none". Like Fabian said, this should be empty instead. CC'ing the yast module maintainer.

Um, besides changing the default value (https://github.com/yast/yast-country/blob/ccb616e88eca82d93aaff13b672c1accee4a1ee5/console/src/modules/Console.rb#L68) we will probably need to touch the console/src/data/consolefonts_opensuse.ycp  and console/src/data/consolefonts.ycp data files as they also contain a screen map section...

I added a card to the YaST trello task board so that the issue is prioritised
with the other tasks.

Affects fresh installation of TW

Affects TW 20180622 too

I did change /etc/sysconfig/console on my up-to-date Tumbleweed system 20810930:

# See https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1013573
# CONSOLE_SCREENMAP="none"
CONSOLE_SCREENMAP=""

Then, running mkinitrd I still see the "Could not find FONT_MAP none!"

> sudo mkinitrd
Creating initrd: /boot/initrd-4.18.7-1-default
dracut: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut --logfile /var/log/YaST2/mkinitrd.log --force /boot/initrd-4.18.7-1-default 4.18.7-1-default

Is there another key then CONSOLE_SCREENMAP that should be changed?

Had a look where the error comes from and found it is coming out of /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/10i18n/module-setup.sh:

        if [[ ${FONT_MAP} ]]
        then
            FONT_MAP=${FONT_MAP%.trans}
            # There are three different formats that setfont supports
            inst_simple ${kbddir}/consoletrans/${FONT_MAP} \
            || inst_simple ${kbddir}/consoletrans/${FONT_MAP}.trans \
            || inst_simple ${kbddir}/consoletrans/${FONT_MAP}_to_uni.trans \
            || dwarn "Could not find FONT_MAP ${FONT_MAP}!"
        fi

${kbddir}/consoletrans/ is /usr/share/kbd/consoletrans and looking in that directory I see things like 8859-14_to_uni.trans but also "null" and "zero", are these values to use?

The null file header says:

# Map the ISO 8859-x control characters to <none>

The zero file header says

# Map all characters with high bit set to <none>

It is also not clear to me yet how the ${FONT_MAP} comes into this 0i18n/module-setup.sh script, is that really through the CONSOLE_SCREENMAP key in /etc/sysconfig/console

Hi,

FONT_MAP is sourced from /etc/vconsole.conf on line 22 of /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/10i18n/module-setup.sh:

17-# called by dracut
18-install() {
19-    if dracut_module_included "systemd"; then
20-        unset FONT
21-        unset KEYMAP
22:        [[ -f /etc/vconsole.conf ]] && . /etc/vconsole.conf
23-    fi
24-
25-    KBDSUBDIRS=consolefonts,consoletrans,keymaps,unimaps
26-    DEFAULT_FONT="${i18n_default_font:-LatArCyrHeb-16}"
27-    I18N_CONF="/etc/locale.conf"
28-    I18N_CONF_SUSE="/etc/sysconfig/language"
29:    VCONFIG_CONF="/etc/vconsole.conf"

and removing none from FONT_MAP in /etc/vconsole.conf and then running dracut -f -v the message is gone.

As far as I'm able to see, FONT_MAP=none still comes in vconsole.conf from:

https://github.com/yast/yast-country/blob/master/console/src/modules/Console.rb

68: @screenMap = "none"

So maybe get Yast team on this again?

Can't find anywhere else where vconsole.conf is configured with FONT_MAP for the moment.

We'll try.

I can confirm, with:
> # cat /etc/vconsole.conf
> KEYMAP=us
> FONT=eurlatgr.psfu
> FONT_MAP=
> FONT_UNIMAP=

I do not see the warning/error anymore.

fix is in review https://github.com/yast/yast-country/pull/184

Nice to see this will also be fixed in YaST.

fix merged. Will be in Leap 15.1 and TW.
Thanks for report

*** Bug 1096771 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I am reopening this because /etc/vconsole.conf still contains the incorrect value for existing setups (none is not a legal value for FONT_MAP, but systemd seems to silently ignore that, while dracut correctly complains). I see two ways of fixing this:

1. Have a sed command systemd packages %post section fix this, as the file belongs with the systemd package and systemd has migrated this value.
2. Have a YasT upgrade fix it.

I have created a submit request for the first option, but I understand Franck would prefer to have YaST fix the value in vconsole.conf. Is that correct?

Well as discussed, I currently don't see why we should put the workaround in systemd as yast2 put the incorrect value in the first place _and_ yast2 is able to modify vconsole.conf just as systemd can (the fact that the file is owned by systemd doesn't really matter I think).

However in order for the workaround to take effect, initrd should be rebuilt and neither systemd nor yast2 triggers a mkinitrd on package update.

So perhaps the simplest way to fix this is to put the workaround in dracut ?

The regeneration argument is a good one, I wasn't aware of that. (Although it might be a good idea for systemd to trigger mkinitrd, because mkinitrd contains a good portion files copied from systemd).

So I submitted pretty much the same fix to factory for dracut that I did for systemd. Took some ||: convicing to make rpmbuild ignore the fact that dracut doesn't provide the file but it works now.

Hi Thomas, I worry that YaST update does not help here as it is insts-sys content. So update is not applied. Reassigning to Daniel if he wants to backport his fix or just closing as won't fix.

This is actually resolved for quite some time now courtesy of a sed call in the dracut RPM.
