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 is a helper used to prepare either all virtual consoles, or — if
the optional TTY parameter is provided — a specific one. When the system is booting up
it's called by udev during vtconsole subsystem initialization.
Systemd™ also calls it internally as needed via
systemd-vconsole-setup.service. The helper calls
loadkeys(1) and
setfont(8)
internally.
You may want to use this helper whenever you change vconsole.conf to
refresh the settings on your consoles — either through the systemctl restart /
systemctl start command or directly through the executable.
See vconsole.conf(5) for information about the configuration files and kernel command line options understood by this program.
