| [18:00] <N1ghtCrawler> what does the releasefile contain? I get an error when installing. I have changed the directory structure "a bit" on the cd. Instead of having ubuntu on the cd root it's in /ubuntu. And i have changed the cdrom-detect.postinst to bind /cdrom/ubuntu to /cdrom | |

| [23:16] <benh> hoy ! | |
| [23:16] <benh> somebody has looked into the text installer font disappearing problem ? | |
| [23:16] <benh> or it's still an open issue ? | |
| [23:47] <benh> cjwatson: ping | |
| [23:55] <cjwatson> benh: what problem is this? (p.s. it's 11:55pm on a Sunday night, don't expect me to be around for long) | |
| [23:57] <benh> heh, ok | |
| [23:57] <benh> cjwatson: well, I think it's related to an old problem that I've seen happening on the g5 and I know somebody got it on amd64 | |
| [23:58] <benh> cjwatson: basically, the text console get into a state where the text isn't displayed anymore, like if the font was made of whitespaces | |
| [23:58] <benh> cjwatson: color changes of the background are still fine. so in ncurses, in the installer, I get the background of the dualog boxes & buttons | |
| [23:58] <benh> cjwatson: but not the text | |
| [23:58] <benh> cjwatson: text works during boot, up to a point where it goes bonkers | |
| [23:59] <benh> cjwatson: on the G5, this is typically if I switch away from the text installer , then back to it, then back to the shell console | |
| [23:59] <benh> cjwatson: (though in that case, the shell console is busted but the text installer is still ok) | |
| [23:59] <benh> cjwatson: on the PS3, if I boot the installer (using petitboot as otheros.bld is busted), I see the initial boot messages | |
| [23:59] <benh> cjwatson: but I get the busted font straight in the ncurses installer | |
