On my system the "/etc/default/console-setup" file did not exist, the package "console-setup" which provides it was never required as dependency for me, so I just suddenly didn't have any more console, only X, which became a problem when I borked my nvidia drivers :-).
This package should probably be included as a dependency somewhere. -- /etc/inittab (esp. ttys) not migrated to upstart jobs https://launchpad.net/bugs/61539 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
