Bug#496929: locales: The default locale only applies on one among the six consoles



Package: locales
Version: 2.7-13
Severity: normal


Hi,

I don't know if it's a bug but I dont find any answer on google, forums, 
irc. So maybe it's a real problem not documented or a bug for 64bits 
(not often used). I hope the bug isn't on bash or readline, if it is, 
sorry I didn't know.

By default I use fr_FR@euro. On tty1, I can type accents and read them. 
On X too. But on tty2, 3, 4, 5, 6, I can't type accents; they're only 
readable. If I run X on tty2, gedit saves everything in utf8 and I've to 
select iso-8859-15 by hand. Probably it's utf8 the locale by default.

I get this for any user (former or new), although printenv displays 
fr_FR@euro..

Thanks for your ideas.
JP
