15 systemd-vconsole-setup sets up and configures either all virtual
16 consoles, or — if the optional TTY parameter is provided — a specific
17 one. When the system is booting up, it's called by systemd-udevd(8)
18 during VT console subsystem initialization. Also, systemd-
19 localed.service(8) invokes it as needed when language or console
20 changes are made. Internally, this program calls loadkeys(1) and
21 setfont(8).
22
23 Execute systemctl restart systemd-vconsole-setup.service in order to
24 apply any manual changes made to /etc/vconsole.conf.

26 See vconsole.conf(5) for information about the configuration files and
27 kernel command line options understood by this program.
28
30 systemd-vconsole-setup supports the service credentials logic as
31 implemented by LoadCredential=/SetCredential= (see systemd.exec(1) for
32 details). The following credentials are used when passed in:
33
34 vconsole.keymap, vconsole.keymap_toggle
35 The keymap (and toggle keymap) to apply. The matching options in
36 vconsole.conf and on the kernel command line take precedence over
37 these credentials.
38
39 Note the relationship to the firstboot.keymap credential understood
40 by systemd-firstboot.service(8): both ultimately affect the same
41 setting, but firstboot.keymap is written into /etc/vconsole.conf on
42 first boot (if not already configured), and then read from there by
43 systemd-vconsole-setup, while vconsole.keymap is read on every
44 boot, and is not persisted to disk (but any configuration in
45 vconsole.conf will take precedence if present).
46
47 vconsole.font, vconsole.font_map, vconsole.font_unimap
48 The console font settings to apply. The matching options in
49 vconsole.conf and on the kernel command line take precedence over
50 these credentials.
