i'm running feisty, and believe i have a simpler way of reproducing this problem. i have never, to my knowledge, changed my local/language/etc. (i'm in the US.)
boot the system. don't bother logging in to gdm. switch directly to a console, with control-alt-F1. log in, and run: "dialog --msgbox foo 0 0" observe funky box-drawing characters: inverted L shapes, downarrows, etc. run "sudo /etc/init.d/console_setup restart" rerun the dialog command and observe that the dialog box output is now correct. switch to the X11 vt, with alt-control-F7. don't log in. switch back to the console screen with alt-control-F1. observe that the dialog output (which should still be on the console) has now changed to "funky". re-run the dialog command. observe that fresh painting still produces "funky" output. -- Curses box uses wrong characters when X cannot start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
