Looking through various scripts (ckbcomp in particular), I found out that the problem was caused by the entry of
CHARMAP="UTF-8" in /etc/default/console-setup, while a corresponding UTF-8.acm.gz does not exist in /usr/share/consoletrans/ as chkcomp was expecting. If I change the CHARMAP to use a different encoding that does exist in this directory, such as CHARMAP="ISO-8859-1" then the problem is fixed once you reboot or restart /etc/init.d /console-setup. So, I don't know where the bug is... somehow my Edgy was installed with UTF-8 specified for the console encoding, but the file /usr/share/consoletrans/UTF-8.acm.gz was not installed. -Gary -- caps lock led doesn't work on the virtual terminals https://launchpad.net/bugs/63104 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
