[Solved] Cauldron err. mess "cannot open file fr-latin9.uni"

Postby s3b974 » Nov 10th, '18, 10:02

Hello everyone,

Cauldron is installed on a physical laptop, which I update almost everyday.
After today's update, a new error message is printed during boot: cannot open file fr-latin9.uni
This message was never printed before today. There is no such file on the system, which makes the error message quite understandable ;)

These are the RPMs installed with this morning's update :

The keyboard is still in French layout (azerty) and still able to print the €uro symbol (latin9).
It seems the command journalctl doesn't say anything about this latin9.uni file but I can provide the log if you think it could still be useful.
I haven't reported any bug on Bugzilla since I don't know which package to blame ;-)
Despite this message, the system seems to be working fine.

During boot means when in particular? Directly before/after the bootloader, sometime later when the actual system is booting ... ?

Sorry! The error message is printed right after Grub (about 1 sec after Grub), and before the animated Mageia logo (plymouth?) is shown.

I'd guess it has something to do with grub fonts as a best guess. Do you use grub2 or grub legacy?

I use Grub2 (UEFI mode)... but it seems the problem has already been fixed with the updates that I installed on November 11!
Marking the topic as solved! Thank you!

Please do that by editing the subject of the first post, and prefix it with [SOLVED], thanks.
