SYSTEMD-VCONSOLE-SETUP.SERVICE(8) | systemd-vconsole-setup.service | SYSTEMD-VCONSOLE-SETUP.SERVICE(8) |
NAME
systemd-vconsole-setup.service, systemd-vconsole-setup - Configure the virtual consoles
SYNOPSIS
systemd-vconsole-setup.service
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-vconsole-setup [TTY]
DESCRIPTION
systemd-vconsole-setup sets up and configures either all virtual consoles, or — if the optional TTY parameter is provided — a specific one. When the system is booting up, systemd-vconsole-setup.service is called by systemd-udevd(8) during VT console subsystem initialization. Also, systemd-localed.service(8) invokes it as needed when language or console changes are made. Internally, this program calls loadkeys(1) and setfont(8).
Execute systemctl restart systemd-vconsole-setup.service in order to apply any manual changes made to /etc/vconsole.conf.
See vconsole.conf(5) for information about the configuration files and kernel command line options understood by this program.
CREDENTIALS
systemd-vconsole-setup supports the service credentials logic as implemented by ImportCredential=/LoadCredential=/SetCredential= (see systemd.exec(5) for details). The following credentials are used when passed in:
vconsole.keymap, vconsole.keymap_toggle
Note the relationship to the firstboot.keymap credential understood by systemd-firstboot.service(8): both ultimately affect the same setting, but firstboot.keymap is written into /etc/vconsole.conf on first boot (if not already configured), and then read from there by systemd-vconsole-setup, while vconsole.keymap is read on every boot, and is not persisted to disk (but any configuration in vconsole.conf will take precedence if present).
Added in version 253.
vconsole.font, vconsole.font_map, vconsole.font_unimap
Added in version 253.
