Description of Problem: German Umlaut characters not displayed correctly after install in console Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: install german as default language Actual Results: Console upon boot does not display umlauts, they are replaced by garbage characters Expected Results: vd|VD\_ displayed corretly Additional Information: might be the font chosen for console is not supporting umlauts.
Checking revealed its not the font, that works fine. Aparently e.g. ifup eth0 results in a Bestimmen der IP Informationen f<weird broken character instead on |>r Interface eth0 Upon startup, several such broken messages appear, looking pretty unprofessional at once. (The whole localization is still _very_ rudimentary, you get a serious German-English mix all over, with occasional broken German, when switching default to German).
vt1 or vt2->vt6?
all VTs, including 1. Its not [Bug 68827] with unicode init on vt2-6. Olaf
I don't think this is an anaconda issue.
This should be fixed with current initscripts and kbd. Please reopen if it's not.
