I get the same thing when I work on a virtual console (ctrl-alt-Fn, not a shell window) with LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8. Except that, since the entire message is Japanese, it's most of the message, except for file names and such. So when I run, for instance, apt-get in a virtual console, I really have to read between the lines. (Or export LANG=en_US.UTF-8, which causes me to worry that some packages will fail to be updated with the correct language/locale settings.) Yes, I need to fix that, but, for the present, I haven't had problems with X11 and XFCE4 dying on updates (in stable) like I did with Fedora. > How do I change that with console-setup? > The console-setup config has: > > # CONFIGURATION FILE FOR SETUPCON > > # Consult the console-setup(5) manual page. > > ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]" > > CHARMAP="UTF-8" > > CODESET="Lat15" > FONTFACE="TerminusBold" > FONTSIZE="8x16" > > VIDEOMODE= > > # The following is an example how to use a braille font > # FONT='lat9w-08.psf.gz brl-8x8.psf' > > Hugo > -- Joel Rees Be careful where you see conspiracy.
