Description Richard Fan 2024-01-11 05:32:07 UTC
The issue is similar as https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1215282

And now, I can see this issue sporadically on aarch64 + sle15sp6 platform again.

"KD_FONT_OP_GET failed while trying to get the font metadata: Invalid argument" error messages can be seen for service systemd-vconsole-setup

From the journal logs:

Re-run 1-2 times can make test pass again in openQA.

Please see attached dmesg and journal log for more detail information.

I would say it should be a duplicate of https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1215282, but need dev's kindly confirmation.
Comment 4 Franck Bui 2024-01-11 08:39:05 UTC
