Comment 8 for bug 357971

(Sorry for spamming the comments)
After the last comment, I switched to a virtual console to try and run "setupcon" (just to see how it came out.) Turns out the console was still not working in English, despite X being fine. I switched back to X, ran dpkg-reconfigure console-setup. All the options going through defaulted to bog-standard US-intl...I basically hit enter a bunch of times. Once it was done, I rebooted, and now the console and X both seem to work properly.
