This bug was fixed in the package kbd - 2.5.1-1ubuntu1
---------------
kbd (2.5.1-1ubuntu1) lunar; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
- Add setfont, kbd_mode, and loadkeys to initramfs for console-setup.
- Added initramfs hook to have setfont/loadkeys available in initramfs.
- Use ckbcomp to get the keyboard layout if other data files are not
available.
- Change loadkeys to find any console not in raw mode when invoked
without an explicit console parameter, in case the foreground console
is in raw mode.
- Add setvtrgb to kbd-udeb.
- Fix incorrect keymap sanity check in loadkeys_ckbcomp.diff.
- debian/control: Depend on console-setup | console-setup-mini, since
console-setup-mini also Depends on kbd now through console-setup-linux.
- debian/patches/loadkeys_find_usable_console.diff: fix wrong type
argument to ioctl(..., KDGKBMODE), which causes consoles to not be
correctly detected on 64-bit archs. LP: #1621824.
* Removed obsolete patches/changes:
- d/p/fix_use_after_free.patch to clean up a use-after-free of
pipe_cmd, now merged upstream.
* New upstream release drops deprecated ioctls removed in Linux v5.12.
LP: #1996619.
kbd (2.5.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Team upload.
[ Andreas Henriksson ]

* Unfuzz debian/patches/Check-for-X-in-kbd_mode.patch
* Revert "Cherry-pick no install libtswrap internal library"
* Let `gbp pq <import|export>` refresh patches
* Bump debhelper from old 10 to 13.
* Set debhelper-compat version in Build-Depends.
* Set upstream metadata fields: Bug-Database, Bug-Submit.
* debian/copyright: Update paths of moved files

Title:
Setfont error due to deprecated PIO_FONTX ioctl
Status in subiquity:
New
Status in kbd package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in kbd source package in Jammy:
New
Bug description:
There is an error message that get thrown in in syslog.
There is a suggestion to fix by upgrading the KDB package to version 2.5.1+
or
to understand the root cause and troubleshoot as to why it's broken and
resolve
it there.
It is caused by this line in subiquity
https://github.com/canonical/subiquity/blob/46f671d14d57a5da6bc3d60b1da6715b43954f0d/bin/subiquity-service#L11
It's due to PIO_FONTX ioctl removed from kernel since 5.12
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ff2047fb755d4415ec3c70ac799889371151796d
In 2.4.5 of kbd which provide setfont in user space, they already
switched over to use KDFONTOP only.
