Tested on the post beta snapshot 20070327 and it's still a problem there. I note that the init script /etc/init.d/console-setup uses /bin/setupcon to setup the console keyboard mapping, which in turns uses the default values from /etc/defaults/console-setup (I think that's the correct filename) which specifies the US keyboard layout by default. This explains why I get US layout instead of GB so that's not an issue anymore.
However, I'm still not sure what's cause capslock to be ignored as the console-setup package's description implies it uses the same keyboard setup config as the X server, and under X the key works fine. -- Caps Lock not working on TTYs/terminals https://launchpad.net/bugs/84156 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
