Bug Description

Binary package hint: console-setup

I was recently using console-setup and noticed the following two dialogs that seemed oddly worded:

"VGA is traditionally looking and has medium coverage"

this might read better as "VGA is traditional looking"

"Terminus is aimed to reduce the eyes fatigue though"

this might read better as "reduce eye fatigue"

Uploading debdiff.

Let me know if I need to create a debdiff on hardy chroot as well.

Thanks..

I'm already addressing this upstream, and don't need help. Thanks, though.

I noticed this again when iso testing the daily build of Kubuntu i386 Alternate from 20080422.1.

D'oh, I forgot to pull this in from Debian in time. Should be fixed in Intrepid.

This bug was fixed in the package console-setup - 1.24ubuntu1

---------------
console-setup (1.24ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Use keymapper to generate decision trees for a restricted subset of
      the pc105 model.
    - If the detect-keyboard debconf plugin is available
      (cdebconf-newt-detect-keys in the installer), then offer to use it to
      detect the keyboard layout.
    - Reset console-setup/toggle to the default if it's set to "No toggling"
      and you select a non-Latin layout.
    - Change the default font from Terminus to VGA where supported.
    - Run kbd_mode on each tty in ACTIVE_CONSOLES rather than on the current
      tty, since the current tty might belong to X and changing X's tty out
      of raw mode is a very bad idea.
    - Automatically save the font and keymap to /etc in
      /etc/init.d/console-setup if it isn't being run from init. Similarly,
      ensure that the font and keymap are saved to /etc during initial
      installation.
    - Disable workaround in ckbcomp for the kernel not applying Caps Lock to
      non-ASCII letters, except for Turkish layouts; the cure is worse than
      the disease because it makes Caps Lock equivalent to Shift Lock.
    - Set keymap and font in the initramfs if possible.
    - Set default variant for French to oss.
    - Set default for Dutch to us(intl), not just us.
    - Set default layout for Vietnam to 'us'.
    - Set default layout for Kurdish to tr(ku).
    - Fix handling of commas in layout and variant names.
    - Fix keymap reduction not to try to express keymap A in terms of keymap
      B when B includes keys not mapped by A.
    - debian/config.proto: Set sparc default model to pc105.
    - Remove 'exit 0' from the end of debian/config.proto; this will be
      sourced from the postinst in the installer, and exiting in the
      successful case means that /etc/default/console-setup never gets
      generated.
    - Switch back to console-tools-udeb for now.
    - Stop running debconf-updatepo on clean.
    - Update for new layouts and variants for Japan, Montenegro, and Serbia,
      and migrate configuration files from the old layouts.
    - Add a "Do not configure keyboard; keep kernel keymap" model option,
      preseedable by console-setup/modelcode=SKIP.
    - Drop the layout/variant priority to high on fresh installs.
    - Honour OVERRIDE_ALLOW_PRESEEDING environment variable when deciding
      whether to allow preseeding, which is ordinarily only allowed in d-i.

console-setup (1.24) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Anton Zinoviev ]
  * Support for X key types such as PC_CONTROL_LEVEL2 and PC_ALT_LEVEL2.
    Never use ShiftR. Thanks to Alexander E. Patrakov, closes: #484822.
    Urgency medium because #484822 is related to the default settings used
    by d-i for some languages.
  * Improved support for non 'KP_...' keys in the keypad block.
  * console-setup-mini and udebs: fix some bugs in modifiers in
    precompiled non-latin layouts
  * Support for some new X key symbols (some of them spelling errors).
  * ckbcomp: accept a list after virtual_modifiers
  * Debconf support for grp:alt_ca...
