As of Hardy, /etc/console-setup/boottime.kmap.gz is loaded during boot,
and ckbcomp is only used to overwrite it if you call setupcon with
--save or --save-only. This was done for boot performance reasons, but I
think it should fix this bug too.
Mark Carter: I strongly recommend not using console-data or console-
common any more; they're deprecated and will probably stop working at
some point. It should be possible to implement similar things by
fiddling with keymaps in /usr/share/X11/xkb/, with the bonus that those
will apply to X as well as just the console.
console-setup (1.19ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
- Use keymapper to generate decision trees for a restricted subset of
the pc105 model.
- If the detect-keyboard debconf plugin is available
(cdebconf-newt-detect-keys in the installer), then offer to use it to
detect the keyboard layout.
- Only default to Canadian layout for fr_CA; use U.S. English for other
*_CA locales.
- Reset console-setup/toggle to the default if it's set to "No toggling"
and you select a non-Latin layout.
- Change the default font from Terminus to VGA where supported.
- Run kbd_mode on each tty in ACTIVE_CONSOLES rather than on the current
tty, since the current tty might belong to X and changing X's tty out
of raw mode is a very bad idea.
- Automatically save the font and keymap to /etc in
/etc/init.d/console-setup if it isn't being run from init. Similarly,
ensure that the font and keymap are saved to /etc during initial
installation.
- Disable workaround in ckbcomp for the kernel not applying Caps Lock to
non-ASCII letters, except for Turkish layouts; the cure is worse than
the disease because it makes Caps Lock equivalent to Shift Lock.
- Set keymap and font in the initramfs if possible.
- Set default variant for French to oss.
- Fix handling of commas in layout and variant names.
- Fix keymap reduction not to try to express keymap A in terms of keymap
B when B includes keys not mapped by A.
- debian/config.proto: Set sparc default model to pc105.
- Remove 'exit 0' from the end of debian/config.proto; this will be
sourced from the postinst in the installer, and exiting in the
successful case means that /etc/default/console-setup never gets
generated.
- Set default model to pc105 on powerpc/ps3 systems.
* Switch back to console-tools-udeb for now; we'd like to use kbd for
Hardy, but Alpha 1 is looming ...
* Stop running debconf-updatepo on clean; this is not standard in d-i and
should be done manually where necessary in Ubuntu.
* Backport from trunk:
- Run setupcon with --save in the postinst to ensure that required data
is copied to /etc.
- Load the saved keymap in /etc/console-setup/boottime.kmap.gz if
available rather than running ckbcomp (which is slow), unless we're
being called with --save or --save-only.
