Because of the missing /etc/console-setup the file /etc/default/console-setup was not configured properly and the result is the us(intl) layout where Shift+6 is a dead-key (dead_circumflex). > OK, let's restart from scratch. > > # dpkg-reconfigure console-setup > > Why us,dvorak ? I have never asked for a dvorak layout !! Againd, this was caused by the missing /etc/console-setup. > /var/lib/dpkg/info/console-setup.postinst: line 115: > /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz: No such file or directory > # setupcon > /bin/setupcon: line 367: /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz: No such file or > directory Same. > During the tests I also got the following kernel errors: > > [21794.596239] circuit:12185 conflicting memory types 90000000-95000000 > uncached-minus<->write-combining > [21794.596425] reserve_memtype failed 0x90000000-0x95000000, track > uncached-minus, req uncached-minus > > I don't know if those are related, but I had never seen them before... I don't know what these are, but they are not related to console-setup. > For the record, the generated /etc/default/console-setup is as follows > and it does not seem to comply with my debconf answers: The postinst of console-setup(-mini) starts with 'set -e'. This caused the error caused by the missing /etc/console-setup to be fatal so the script never had the chance to put your settings inside the configuration file.

You are right! Hopefuly with the new version of console-setup (1.47) there are no shared configuration files so there will be no problems of this sort any more. > Do you want me to file a separate bug report for this problem? I believe it is fixed in 1.47. If you find a problem in version 1.47 or following, do not hesitate to report it. > BTW, I think the reference to Goha and GohaClassic in the conffile > comments is obsolete, as no such fonts seem to exist now.

I don't know why the fonts in console-setup didn't work for you (as I don't use toilet) but I am glad that with lat1u-16 finaly everything is ok. :) Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
