Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: console-setup
I'm on the latest Feisty Fawn, using an x86 pc with nvidia graphics
card, and proprietary nvidia driver (1.0.9631).
If I run apt-get update/upgrade under X (in a konsole, or rxvt terminal) and
there is a new console-setup package, then when it says
Setting up console-setup (1.13ubuntu9) ...
* Setting up console font and keymap... [
OK ]
it makes the X screen distorted, probably does something with the videocard
registers. I have to switch to the virtual terminal and back to X (alt+ctrl+f1
-> alt+f7) to repair that. But I think it can confuse new or inexperienced
users.
The solution is maybe to check if X runs, and if it is, then don't start
/etc/init.d/console-setup, but I don't know enough about package management to
make this fix.
