closedRun yast2_migration in PowerVM only with ncurses
Description
Observation¶
openQA test in scenario sle-15-SP5-Migration-from-SLE15-SPx-ppc64le-ha_migration_online_pscc_sles15sp4@ppc64le-hmc-single-disk fails in
yast2_migration
Apparently automation fails to complete registration phase, very likely because we force to user ssh forwarding when running qt in remote worker, like in this case for PowerVM. Using ncurses should accelerate the process.
Of course the problem behind the scene are networking issues with PowerVM, but let's tackle this first.
Scope¶
All test suite using PowerVM in all Migration job groups.
Acceptance criteria¶
AC1: Research the reason why we shouldn't test qt, is it because our testing infrastructure?
AC2: Run always yast2_migration in PowerVM with ncurses instead of qt
Additional information¶
- For instance we open sw_single in this way in
yast2_i:my $module_name = y2_module_consoletest::yast2_console_exec(yast2_module => 'sw_single', yast2_opts => '--ncurses'); - A better solution which would not require to add always this
yast2_optsparameter is to ensure that the target desktop in the AutoYaST image used by this job is textmode, even if the default is gnome for PowerVM is a special case and we might need to edit this AutoYaST profile to force that.

I committed PR to always run yast2_migration in PowerVM with ncurses
https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/16020
please help to review it.

running the current tests in textmode is enough to PowerVM, and it will
not be stable to make tests run ssh forwarding the graphical part, I don't
notice the requirement that tests must be run with graphical on PowerVM,
so we can deal with tests with graphical if there is a requirement later.

I checked the system on PowerVM after installation with graphical target,
and found that no graphics device on PowerVM and Xorg failed to launch like
this:
[ 97.196] (II) LoadModule: "fbdevhw"

I think that the current configuration of PowerVM is not able to start the
normal GUI, and the Qt scenario is not normal although Qt interface is OK
by ssh X11 forwarding.
anyway, I think textmode is enough to PowerVM.
