Why does YaST now show lines as lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq?
Change "Terminal-type string" from "xterm" to "linux" in Connection>Data.
in bash, type: export NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1
Permanent solution for your problem is :
For one users
cd ~
echo "export NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1" >> .bashrc
For all users
echo "export NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1" >> /etc/bash.bashrc.local
