This is happening to me in Kubuntu 18.04. Anyone has any clue on what's happening?
I cannot install virtualbox because it seems to be asking me about Secure Boot password in a whiptail dialog which I cannot see. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to newt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604212 Title: infobox does not show Status in newt package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: A command as simple as whiptail --infobox Hello 0 0 prints nothing in xterm-like terminal emulators while it shoud draw a box with Hello written inside. I was able to understand what whiptail is doing with this strace command : strace -e t=write -s 5000 -o trace whiptail --infobox Hello 0 0 When whiptail processes the --infobox option, it does this : switch terminal to alternate screen draw information box switch back to normal screen exit The effect is that it is not possible to see the information message. Infobox messages are supposed to be displayed for a long time... whiptail should not switch screen in this case.
