SYSTEMD....SERVICE(8) systemd-vconsole-setup.serviceSYSTEMD....SERVICE(8)
systemd-vconsole-setup.service, systemd-vconsole-setup - Configure
the virtual consoles
systemd-vconsole-setup.service
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-vconsole-setup [TTY]
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.
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
The keymap (and toggle keymap) to apply. The matching options
in vconsole.conf and on the kernel command line take
precedence over these credentials.
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
The console font settings to apply. The matching options in
vconsole.conf and on the kernel command line take precedence
over these credentials.
Added in version 253.
