There is a suggestion to fix by upgrading the KDB package to version 2.5.1+ (upstream) has a fix. 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.
