Update. In a VirtualBox Natty installation (=no KMS), I'm able to 100% make the problem disappear, by doing both the following:
1) Disabling grub graphics mode: Uncomment "GRUB_TERMINAL=console" in /etc/default/grub and run `sudo update-grub`. 2) Removing "vt.handoff=7" from the kernel command line: Either manually, by pressing "e" (edit) at the grub menu, or by removing it from /etc/grub.d/10_linux, and running `sudo update-grub`. I'll try with a KMS Natty client next, not sure if that will make any difference. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133072 Title: tty console doen't show characters with accent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/133072/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
