[Bug 632382] Re: Console font does not get set in Maverick
I have unduplicated this from bug 433897, based on the implicit assertion in https://code.launchpad.net/~abone/ubuntu/precise/console- setup/fix-433897/+merge/118886 that these are separate bugs. I suspect that in fact many people's problems will be fixed just by this part of it, but I wanted to make some effort to separate them out for further analysis. Here's the comment I made on the merge proposal: After some thought, I agree that this Upstart job is the right thing to add, and I'm going to apply this to quantal. Thanks! I am much less convinced by the proposal to remove OPTION=FRAMEBUFFER (and still less by the proposal to force FRAMEBUFFER=y when splash is enabled; I agree with Oliver on that). I also don't think that creating a separate option for it is the right answer. If the framebuffer isn't enabled for some other reason, then the console-setup script should not need to run in the initramfs at all (except in the case of a panic, which is handled); the fact that this shouldn't be needed is what OPTION=FRAMEBUFFER expresses. It should be sufficient for the corresponding code to run from udev rules and Upstart jobs. Therefore, if the udev rules and Upstart jobs aren't working properly when there is no framebuffer code in the initramfs, that is what needs to be debugged. I believe this ought to be possible without running console-setup code in the initramfs. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 433897 at boot, the font is not set by the upstart job ** Also affects: console-setup (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: console-setup (Ubuntu Quantal) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Changed in: console-setup (Ubuntu Quantal) Importance: Undecided = High ** Changed in: console-setup (Ubuntu Quantal) Assignee: (unassigned) = Colin Watson (cjwatson) ** Changed in: console-setup (Ubuntu Quantal) Milestone: None = ubuntu-12.10 ** Summary changed: - Console font does not get set in Maverick + Console font does not get set -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/632382 Title: Console font does not get set To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/632382/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

How about adding console-font.conf to the console-setup package ?
