upgrading from 9.3 to 10.0 over ssh weird
Last modified: 2005-11-30 09:57:31 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?
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.
I can't reproduce the problem. I'm afraid even the logs can't help here :(
