Camper365, I have been trying to determine what could cause the behavior that you describe.
There was a problem with 8.10, if installed, that was almost the reverse of yours: the Fixed font would not be loaded at boot if usplash was on. In fact, no font would be loaded, and the font from the character ROM in the graphics card would remain in use. Not surprisingly, if your graphics card was (like most) a descendent of VGA, this font looked very similar to the VGA fonts supplied with Ubuntu. (When running 8.10 as a live CD, the Fixed font did get loaded, but if you went first to /dev/tty1, instead of 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, you might never see it.) I believe that this problem was fixed by version 1.25ubuntu4 of the console-setup package. The fact that your system is loading a font at boot time seems to indicate that you have the corrected version, but you should probably double-check. I am wondering if you have more than one kernel installed on your system. With the corrected version (1.25ubuntu4) of console-setup, the font is properly loaded at boot time using the initrd file. When you run the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, the initrd file is updated. But it is possible that the file being updated is not the one you are booting with. If the softlink at /initrd.img doesn't point to the initrd file that you are booting with, this could cause the behavior that you are experiencing. It would be helpful if you would could post the result of: grep -6 initrd /boot/grub/menu.lst Which of the titles in that result are you booting with? And what is the result of: ls -l /initrd.img Thanks. -- Console Font not loaded when usplash in on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345145 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
