I am running 30+ servers at SLES 11 SP3 on System z. On most of the servers the lines that make up the boxes are now letters. `lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk x YaST2 Control Center x mqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqj ` One of my servers displays the lines correctly. `┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ YaST2 Control Center │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘` If I ssh from this server to the server that displays the lines incorrectly and launch yast, yast displays the lines properly. I found a thread that addressed a similar issue from Feb 2013 but it didn’t have a resolution, it said to open an SR. I have issued “locale” on each of these servers and the display is the same. How can I correct this? The problem makes the display hard to read with all of the extra alphabetic characters (as opposed to the line drawings). Harley ---

Hi Harley, this might be a codepage issue on the client - interpreting the server’s response (the individual characters) wrongly. What client are you using to display the output? Regards, Jens ---

Hi Harley, [QUOTE=x0500hl;21164]Hi Jens, I’m using PuTTY. Harley[/QUOTE] and how are your code page settings, do they match? Regards, Jens ---

Jens, Problem solved! The codepage for PuTTY sessions with the problem were set to UTF8. The session for the server that didn’t have the problem was set to “ISO-8859-1:1998 (Latin-1, West Europe)”. I chaneg the setting from UTF8 and YaST is now displaying properly. Thank you! Harley ---
