[From my comments in bug 56024, which I just marked as a duplicate of this.]
This still happens in Feisty and Gutsy. The dialog is being displayed on a console that hasn’t been set up by console-setup. It displays correctly if I change ACTIVE_CONSOLES from "/dev/tty[1-6]" to "/dev/tty[1-8]" in /etc/default/console-setup, *and* boot without usplash. (It seems that console-setup doesn’t work at all from within usplash! Has anyone noticed this before?) -- Curses box uses wrong characters when X cannot start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
