It is + applied at boot by udev using 90-vconsole.rules file. + You can safely mask this file if you want to avoid this kind of initialization. + + + The basic file format of the + vconsole.conf is a newline-separated list of + environment-like shell-compatible variable assignments. It is + possible to source the configuration from shell scripts, however, + beyond mere variable assignments no shell features are supported, + allowing applications to read the file without implementing a + shell compatible execution engine. + + Note that the kernel command line options + vconsole.keymap=, + vconsole.keymap_toggle=, + vconsole.font=, + vconsole.font_map=, + vconsole.font_unimap= may be used + to override the console settings at boot. + + Depending on the operating system other configuration files + might be checked for configuration of the virtual console as well, + however only as fallback. + + /etc/vconsole.conf is usually created and updated + using + systemd-localed.service8. + localectl1 + may be used to instruct systemd-localed.service to + query or update configuration. + + + + Options + + The following options are understood: + + + + + KEYMAP= + KEYMAP_TOGGLE= + + Configures the key mapping table for the keyboard. + KEYMAP= defaults to us if not set. The + KEYMAP_TOGGLE= can be used to configure a second toggle keymap and is by + default unset. + + + + FONT= + FONT_MAP= + FONT_UNIMAP= + + Configures the console font, the console map + and the unicode font map. + + + + + + + Kernel Command Line + + A few configuration parameters from vconsole.conf may be overridden + on the kernel command line: + + + + vconsole.keymap= + vconsole.keymap_toggle= + + Overrides KEYMAP= and KEYMAP_TOGGLE=. + + + + + vconsole.font= + vconsole.font_map= + vconsole.font_unimap= + + Overrides FONT=, FONT_MAP=, and + FONT_UNIMAP=. + + + + + + Example + + + German keyboard and console + + /etc/vconsole.conf: + + KEYMAP=de-latin1 +FONT=eurlatgr + + + + + + See Also + + systemd1, + systemd-vconsole-setup.service8, + loadkeys1, + setfont8, + locale.conf5, + systemd-localed.service8 + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
