When some UTF8 characters are put in /system/identity name (to be exact, I had a problem with letter “Ž”, didn’t investigate this much further) console (also ssh) crashes after trying to write something in console and error is shown: “Console has crashed; please log in again”. Seems to be v3.x and v4.x related.
Not really a huge problem, just wanted to save someone a few hours of upgrading/downgrading and banging their head trying to figure out why this is happening
Well should have written non-ASCII character to be exact, but we’re really splitting hairs now, eh? Main point is - if you get that error, go check what is set in identity name…
