[Bug 1449292] Re: Recovery mode is displayed in unreadable font

 

I tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and it offers font 16x8, but there is no 16x8 for VGA, there is only 16 in /etc/console-setup:
Uni2-VGA16.psf.gz
Also, for some unknown reason, it it was not extracted from archive and I should do it by hand.

So, at last, I found the following solution:

in /etc/default/console-setup changed:
FONTSIZE="16x8" to FONTSIZE="16"

setupcon --save

gunzip -k /etc/console-setup/Uni2-VGA16.psf.gz

Title:
  Recovery mode is displayed in unreadable font

Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading to 15.04 I found my Recovery mode is displayed in
  black boxes and is completely not readable. I should run setupcon each
  time I'm entering recovery mode to make Cyrillic  letters readable.
  All Latin is ok. I have installed 3 different linux kernels and when
  I'm booting to one of them in recovery all is ok but in case of two
  others - black squares instead of Cyrillic. I don't know what package
  responds for this issue but I'm thinking this is a bug.
