(Get the code!)
There is an error message that get thrown in in syslog.
There is a suggestion to fix by upgrading the KDB package to version 2.5.1+ or
to understand the root cause and troubleshoot as to why it's broken and resolve
it there.
It is caused by this line in subiquity
https:/
It's due to PIO_FONTX ioctl removed from kernel since 5.12
https:/
In 2.4.5 of kbd which provide setfont in user space, they already switched over to use KDFONTOP only.
