Re: What's with the blue overlining in text consoles?
Never heard of something similar to start with. Few guesses. * Terminal Emulation ? Check what happens if you switch from say xterm to linux to vt100 to ... * Character map error ? Might be for some reason the charmap is damaged ? Did you edit them at one point ? Of would someone else have access to them ? I'd suggest you make a backup of the current files, then proceed with tests. If it still fails proceed to reinstall the packages. Then check again... Do you mix the repo with Wheezy or unstable ? This might at times cause quite unique weirdness. On 13/07/13 21:55, Stephen Powell wrote: Something strange has started happening recently. For a long time I have used ISO-8859-1 as my character mapping in text consoles. dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and I have had no difficulty, except when using the ssh client to connect to a remote system which uses UTF-8. The box-drawing characters sent by the remote system did not look right under these conditions. To solve this problem, I switched my local system to use UTF-8. Now the box-drawing characters sent by the remote system look right when displayed by my local ssh client. However, I recently began noticing that all blue fields are now overlined. For example, the lynx web browser, when used in a text console (vt1-vt6), displays emphasized fields (the ... html tag) as blue overlined, when it used to display them simply as blue. I can live with that, I suppose. But what really bothers me is when I use the c3270 text-mode 3270 terminal emulator to logon to a mainframe. All blue fields are now overlined! This is driving me batty! I tried searching the world wide web using search words of blue overlining "UTF-8" but did not obtain any useful results. Does anyone know the cause of this? Does anyone know the cure? Is this a bug? If so, in what package is the bug? The problem does not seem to occur in a Gnome Terminal window, only on a text console. My system locale is en_US.UTF-8. I am running an up-to-date Jessie system on i386 architecture. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Segfault after dist-upgrade
That was a really bad idea. Your system is most certainly wrecked now. I've not checked the info on the url you submitted ( though it looks appealing ) Why did you start such a gigantic leap ? Why no upgrade to wheezy first, then add apt repo's for testing and/or unstable with apt pinning to suite your needs ... I assume you're looking for much more up-to-date software ... if you really really need that, try Ubuntu.
