Yes, that's why I targeted the bug at Intrepid - though I'm about to go on holiday and may not get to it until I get back.
** Description changed: This is a long-running problem with several different incarnations. Bug 91422 was caused by the splash screen forgetting to save and restore the console font when switching to and from graphics mode, fixed in Ubuntu 7.10. In https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/hardy-console, we proposed a fix in the kernel which would deal with this problem centrally rather than having to fix every single X driver individually, and this was fixed in Ubuntu 8.04. However, Ubuntu 8.10 and Jaunty still exhibit similar symptoms, so I'm grabbing this bug to serve as a sink for duplicates. At the moment, the console is not set up correctly because /dev/tty1, /dev/tty2, etc. do not exist at the point when console-setup's initramfs script tries to deal with this. The simple fix is to have it create those devices itself, and once I do this I find that the console is set up correctly. I think we should backport this fix at least to hardy and intrepid, and possibly gutsy as well; I see no downside in doing so. + DEVELOPMENT BRANCH: Fixed in console-setup 1.28ubuntu3. + + PATCH: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/console- + setup/ubuntu/revision/86 + TEST CASE: Install in Georgian (to pick a language where it's fairly obvious), and switch to Ctrl-Alt-F1 after installation. Confirm that you can type Georgian letters and that they display as something that actually looks like letters rather than blank spaces or obvious visual corruption. -- Console not correctly set up after boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
