Title:
kbd_mode - "Couldn't get fd referring to console"
Status in kbd package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Sorry for using your bug reporting mechanism directly. 'ubuntu-bug
'/'apport-cli' do not seem to agree with modifications to the text
that they generate (:@{).
Actually, bug #1621824 does fairly well in describing the problem.
Unfortunately, that was a xenial {"ubuntu 16.04"?) bug and the report
is closed. This bug is in "ubuntu 18.04" (bionic) and it is still
occurring. Below is output from 'apport-cli' with a bit of ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION. Right now 'apport-cli' rejects the text below as
"damaged".

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
- To duplicate the problem -
$ (sudo) kbd_mode
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console
$
- A 'kbd' problem that is very similar is noted for xenial in the closed bug
report #1621824 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kbd/+bug/1621824>
You could probably substitute 'kbd_mode" for the 'loadkeys' invocations
specified in the text. I encountered the problem when I ran 'setupcon' and
that script uses both 'kbd_mode' and 'loadkeys'.
- If the xenial fix is still around, how do I get it. "xenial-proposed" does
not seem to have it.
- It really does not indicate as such above but this 'ubuntu 18.04' sits on
top of "Windows Subsystem for Linux" (WSL).
- This is a (fairly} fresh install (see "UpgradeStatus" above) with the
latest/greatest 'apt update/upgrade' plus a number of installs executed.
