Package: console-setup Version: 1.75 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? Background info: I have had the following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for months, if not years: option "XkbRules" "xorg" option "XkbModel" "pc105" option "XkbLayout" "us,cz(qwerty)" option "XKbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp:switch,grp_led:scroll" Now I just did this: # apt-get purge keyboard-configuration # apt-get install keyboard-configuration Afterwards, the first thing I noticed was that the settings from /etc/X11/xorg.conf did not get transferred into /etc/default/keyboard. But that's not directly relevant to this bug. I filled in those settings by hand. Then I did: # invoke-rc.d console-setup restart and found that some of the Czech characters did not display correctly. This was due to CODESET being set to "Lat15" in /etc/default/console-setup. When I changed this to "guess" and restarted console-setup again, the characters displayed correctly. So, the question is: why isn't CODESET set to "guess" by default? From my vantage point, it's a bug, because "guess" guesses the desired encoding using the system command "locale" (which works well in my case).
