It will be difficult to cope with it remotely :) So, lets start from the beginning. Reboot your machine and prevent grub from booting. Add the 'break=init' command to your kernel line and continue booting. You'll get the initramfs command line. At this moment your console should be already localized. Try this: (initramfs) LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8 chroot /root date
If you don't get localized date, check that these files exist in your initramfs environment: /scripts/init-top/console_setup /etc/default/console-setup /etc/console-setup/Uni2-Fixed16.psf.gz To check if font installs, try to execute: (initramfs) setfont /root/usr/share/consolefonts/Uni2-Fixed14.psf.gz and (initramfs) /scripts/init-top/console_setup Tell us the result. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to console-setup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1746579 Title: A boxes instead of a Cyrillic chars in VTs Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (development branch) Release: 18.04 $ apt-cache policy keyboard-configuration keyboard-configuration: Встановлено: 1.166ubuntu7 Кандидат: 1.166ubuntu7 Таблиця версій: *** 1.166ubuntu7 500 500 http://ua.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages 500 http://ua.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I expected to have cyrillic fonts in any of six VTs, /dev/tty[1-6], but it shows boxes instead of them.
