(this bug report does not necessarily belong to base-config....)
There was some report by M. Bauer which stated, besides other problems, that
base-config output is messed up:
------------------------------------------------------
Dear list.
I am trying new Debian installer (sid_d-i sarge-i386-netinst.iso
from 5.2.2004). I choose installation in czech, everything goes ok,
but labels in cfdisk are showing only to the first accented character
and then disappear.
After reboot (to second-stage), I don't see (czech) accented
characters, but some other symbols (like percent, box, average mark,
...) instead of Å¡,ÄSome texts are not localized and are showing
in english (creating user and mail setup).
-------------------------------------------------------------
Miroslav Kure did some tests and concluded the following:
> The accented charcater problem is more worrying. However, it may
> probably be related to #226200 which was closed on Feb 5th by a
> base-config upload.
I did some test with today's 20040209 netinst sid iso (Base Config
2.08) and indeed, accented characters are broken (see the second
screenshot at http://www.debian.cz/~kurem/shots/) -- black boxes
shouldn't be there, all characters whith following "`" above them are
wrong (we use only "'" (and wedge and circlet) :-)
[ ... common boot messages]
termwrap: locale-gen: Generating locales...
termwrap: locale-gen: cs_CZ.ISO-8859-2... done
termwrap: locale-gen: Generation complete
info: Switching console charset mapping to ISO-8859-2
/usr/bin/charset: line 117: /dev/tty: Such device or address doesn't exist
[base-config starts ... ]
I suppose previous line should be the problem. (The error message was
localized (see the first picture), so my reverse translation may not
be acurate).
I skimmed through the base-config, logged in and tried to get it
working. Standard locale was set to POSIX.
I suppose we need to load correct (iso-8859-2) font:
# echo "set SCREEN_FONT=iso02.f16" >> /etc/console-tools/config
# echo "set APP_CHARSET_MAP=iso02" >> /etc/console-tools/config
# /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh restart
Next, we would like to be able to _type_ accented characters (we can
switch to the Czech layout by the Pause key):
# echo "set convert-meta off" >> /etc/inputrc
log in on the next console, run
# export LANG=cs_CZ" #obvious locale stuff
# echo -ne "\033(K" #so we can see accented chars. (blanks otherwise)
# base-config #our testing program
and voila! (see the last picture).
I'm not quite sure if all these steps are necessary - this is "proven"
setup which inherits itself for generations.
