Scrshot of authconfig being run with Polish Locale (under xterm)
Seems to be a newt toolkit problem as it works fine with the same authconfig version on FC-4. Workaround - make the terminal window wider. Hmm??? Make a terminal window wider.... But it also happens in bare console outside xterm.. It happens during firstboot in text mode. Setting higher VGA mode in console doesn't help. *** Bug 186907 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This is a problem that's turned up in the text parts of the installer (ethernet device screen, partitioning screen), firstboot, and various configuration tools. What we've determined matches up with what Tomas says - the text is too large for the terminal, so newt simply doesn't draw the dialog on the screen. This is a regression from FC4. Attached is a reproducer in python for this bug. Make sure your terminal is under 200 columns. Note that we can't resize the console, so this is a big problem for us. #!/usr/bin/python from snack import * li = Listbox(5, returnExit = 1) li.append("a"*200, "f") screen = SnackScreen() g = Grid(1, 3) g.setField(li, 0, 1, (0, 1, 0, 1)) g.place(1, 1) screen.gridWrappedWindow(g, "title") f = Form("This is some help") f.add(li) res = f.run() screen.popWindow() screen.finish() Created attachment 126932 [details]
Proposed patch
This patch fixes the regression.
Thanks Tom for the patch. An updated newt resolving this issue has been pushed to fc5 updates. |
