Package: console-setup Version: 1.36 Severity: minor When (re)configuring console-setup (at least with the non-GUI method of (re)configuring), there is no text prior to the list of keyboard models, so the user is left to guess whether the question is about keyboard types, video cards, or what.
Specifically, when (re)configuring from a tty, this is what I see: Configuring console-setup ------------------------- 1. A4Tech KB-21 2. A4Tech KBS-8 3. A4Tech Wireless Desktop RFKB-23 4.

At the end of the list, there is the question "Keyboard model:", but by then it is too late because the correct answer has probably already scrolled by. The same comment applies to the list of countries. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages console-setup depends on: ii console-terminus 4.28-1 Fixed-width fonts for fast reading ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.26 Debian configuration management sy ii xkb-data 1.6-1 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu Versions of packages console-setup recommends: ii console-tools 1:0.2.3dbs-65.1 Linux console and font utilities Versions of packages console-setup suggests: ii locales 2.9-13 GNU C Library: National Language ( ii lsb-base 3.2-22 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip -- debconf information: * console-setup/variant: USA console-setup/unsupported_options: true console-setup/fontsize-text: 16 console-setup/compose: No compose key debian-installer/console-setup-udeb/title: console-setup/modelcode: pc101 console-setup/switch: No temporary switch console-setup/unsupported_config_layout: true console-setup/use_system_font: console-setup/fontsize: console-setup/unsupported_layout: true console-setup/charmap: ISO-8859-1 console-setup/layoutcode: us console-setup/optionscode: ctrl:swapcaps console-setup/unsupported_config_options: true * console-setup/layout: USA console-setup/variantcode: console-setup/codesetcode: Lat15 console-setup/altgr: No AltGr key * console-setup/ttys: /dev/tty[1-6] * console-setup/model: Generic 101-key PC console-setup/fontsize-fb: 16 console-setup/codeset: # Latin1 and Latin5 - western Europe and Turkic languages console-setup/toggle: No toggling * console-setup/fontface: Do not change the boot/kernel font -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
