Re: [arch-general] unreadable characters login screen after install
hi everyone after an install following the wiki installation guide and rebooting the login screen shows unreadable characters, the char displays as rectangular and square blocks, locale.conf is set to LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 vconsole.conf is set to KEYMAP=uk i also tried adding a FONT= line to vconsole.conf while chrooted the but no joy after rebooting, the installation screen was fine. any ideas ?

A display manager's greeter? If so, xorg.conf or display manager settings might solve the issue.
Oops, I was confusing keyboard with fonts. Not xorg.conf, but much likely the display manager configuration provides to chose a font.
Or tty?
sorry i mean the login at the console,
it a file server without xorg, display manger etc. shadrock

Did you customize /etc/locale.gen and ran locale-gen? Cheers, -- Leonid Isaev GPG fingerprints: DA92 034D B4A8 EC51 7EA6 20DF 9291 EE8A 043C B8C4 C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D

How do you share your files. Samba? Nfs?

I'm sorry. Bad reading. I'm off-topic. Sorry for the noise.
