After two upgrades on two different systems with the same result
i have tried to find a solution untill i get info from you.
I feal the problem is in the consolefont.
Trying "/lib/kbd/consolefonts/iso01.16.gz" for the consolefont works.
Searching more for the "Why wrong after upgradig ?" have bring me
to this result.
The file "/etc/sysconfig/i18n" is different depending what type of installation.
Upgraded system from 7.2-->7.3 have only one line "LANG=....." inside this file.
Fresh installed system 7.3 have the following lines inside (german version!)
LANG="de_DE@euro"
SUPPORTED="de_DE@euro:de_DE:de"
SYSFONT="lat0-sun16"
SYSFONTACM="iso15"
There are two possible reason4s why it have been working befor the upgrade,
wich i can not figure out:
1) The file i18n is not fully used in versions befor 8.0.
or
2) The file "lat0-sun16" is corrupted.
Hope this helps to find a solution.

File i18n which currently works.
I have come to know that the bug is known already by RedHat from
an engineer.
I have include my currently working settings.
I´am wondering how long it takes until somebody takes care about
this problem as it is a basic problem also for other countries
like spain anso.
the kbd description labels keep changing release-to-release... esp after the big euro and latin1->latin9 switchover. As a feature for a future release, this issue (standardized descriptors for both console and X keyboard settings) needs to be addressed for the sake of compatibility and upgrades. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; DT) Description of problem: After upgrading from 7.3 the german console keyboard layout is wrong. Changes thrue kbdconfig will result in no changes from "de-latin1-nodeadkeys" to "de-latin1" and some changes by "de" wich are also wrong but different. The keyboardlayout under X works well ! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install 7.3 fresh with german language and german keyboard "de-latin1-nodeadkeys". 2.Upgrade with 8.0 again german language and german keyboard "de-latin1-nodeadkeys" (doesn4t matter if text or grafik installation) 3.Login as root Actual Results: Under layout "de" Pressing key "A with diaeresis" get assigned as "}" Pressing key "O with diaeresis" get assigned as "{" Pressing key "U with diaeresis" get assigned as "\" and so on with the keys from latin1 charset. Under layout "de-latin1" and "de-latin1-nodeadkeys" Pressing key "A-Umlaut" get assigned as "-" Pressing key "O-Umlaut" get assigned as "O^" and so on with the keys from latin1 charset. Expected Results: Get the sign as required. Additional info: Under this circumstances files are created, modified or changed with wrong characters. It can result in crashes or lost of data with server buisness applications.
