SYSTEMD-VCONSOLE-SETUP.SERVICE(8)		systemd-vconsole-setup.service

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
	   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.
