I found a bug which caused the ACM not to be loaded on the first console. I suppose on the other consoles it is possible to enter umlauts. > - Strange effect (hard to repeat, but it happens sometimes), after > reconfiguring the console, suddenly some programs cannot be found > (less /etc/X11/xorg.conf: bash: less command not found, but it is > there!) I suppose this was because the first console was left in UTF-8 mode but the loaded keyboard was for ISO-8859-15 (another bug). The other consoles are probably in non-UTF-8 mode. I will prepare a fixed package soon. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I did ALL this as root! And > root should be able to change everything? I assumed that you were running setupcon as a normal user. As root, it should indeed change all ttys, and it does indeed with my tests. You may run "setupcon -v". If you only see one message "Loading font ..." this means that setupcon tries to change only the current tty.

Yes, this is surely the case. Denis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I called setupcon, and then gut my usual prompt: [gandalf] ~# then I typed dpkg-reconfigure [gandalf] ~# dpkg-reconfigure bash: dpkg-reconfigure command not found and I found that there is a strange space between the hash and the "d" and I if I go to the start of the line Ctlr-A and THEN backspace backspace I could suddenly delete characters. I assume that this has something todo with some double-width chars, or utf8 encoded chars which somehow manage to come into the console as one 8bit char to be displayed, but in some buffer they are still as two chars. One more thing, today NO umlauts did work at all, not even after calling setupcon from the user windows. Herzliche Grüße Uhhh whats this, it cannot even display my umlauts ...

Anton, I do not know if this is related, but your files contain
key { [ acute, grave, cedilla, cedilla ] };
but in X, acute should be replaced by apostrophe.

This is normal, users cannot modify other ttys unless they are also
logged into them.

Hey, that sounds indeed quite unbelievable ;)
