Actually it was reset to non-UTF8 by systemd-vconsole-setup :p It is rather interesting. I was testing unrelated patch for dracut using dracut tip. It turned out, dracut now installs systemd-vconsole-setup when available. Unfortunately it also also changed parsing of configuration files so no locale config was installed. Which caused vconsole-setup assume we are in non-UNICODE mode and disable it. I still believe we should not make any assumption about console state at the time of systemd startup and ensure it is configured as requested. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
