Ouch! :-( > Can you make the following tests: > > 1. What happens if you run on the console 'setupcon' as root? I login as root on the console: I get a US keymap. # setupcon Mmmh, the screen flashed a few times and now I get an IT keymap. However, console fonts changed: take into account that I have $ tail -n 6 /etc/console-tools/config SCREEN_FONT=lat1u-16 SCREEN_FONT_vc2=lat1u-16 SCREEN_FONT_vc3=lat1u-16 SCREEN_FONT_vc4=lat1u-16 SCREEN_FONT_vc5=lat1u-16 SCREEN_FONT_vc6=lat1u-16 I ended up using those fonts, since those ones are the only fonts I found that let me see the symbols produced by $ toilet -f future "hello" ╻ ╻┏━╸╻ ╻ ┏━┓ ┣━┫┣╸ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ╹ ╹┗━╸┗━╸┗━╸┗━┛ If you are able to suggest better fonts, please do not hesitate to do so! After running 'setupcon' the console is no longer able to correctly show such symbols. After a reboot, the situation is back as before: fonts are as I want them to be, but keymap is US... > 2.

That's because I do not have console-setup installed, but console-setup-mini, instead: $ aptitude search console-setup | cut -c 1-35 p console-setup i A console-setup-mini > 3.
