Package: console-tools Version: 1:0.2.3dbs-55 Followup-For: Bug #271013 I have the same problem on this machine. I checked out /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh, and it detects the UTF-8 locale and runs unicode_start just fine.
However, unicode_start uses "fgconsole --next-available" to make sure it only switches TTYs which are already allocated into UTF-8 mode. Unfortunately, console-screen.sh runs before the gettys allocate TTYs 2-6. Possible workarounds: -- start gettys earlier in the boot process -- do the actual work in console-screen.sh itself, i.e. allocate TTYs 1-n and do a "echo -e '\033%G'" -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (700, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (50, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-686 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages console-tools depends on: ii console-common 0.7.48 Basic infrastructure for text cons ii debconf 1.4.42 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libconsole 1:0.2.3dbs-55 Shared libraries for Linux console ii sysvinit 2.86.ds1-1 System-V like init -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
