NAME
setupcon - sets up the font and the keyboard on Linux console
SYNOPSIS
setupcon [ option ]... [ variant ... ]
DESCRIPTION
setupcon is a program for fast and easy setup of the font and the
keyboard on the Linux console.
OPTIONS
-k, --keyboard-only
Setup the keyboard only, do not setup the font.
-f, --font-only
Setup the font only, do not setup the keyboard.
--force
Do not check whether we are on the console. Notice that you can
be forced to hard-reboot your computer if you run setupcon with
this option and you are on a X server.
-v, --verbose
Be more verbose. Use this option if something goes wrong.
--save If you want to use setupcon early in the boot process, it is
possible that /usr is not yet mounted and the required data are
not available. This option makes setupcon copy the required
data in /etc/console-setup in order to make it available before
/usr is mounted. If you use setupcon early in the boot process,
then use this option whenever you change the console
configuration.
--save-only
Same like --save, but do not setup the keyboard and the font.
This option can be useful if you run setupcon in a X server.
-h, --help
Display usage information.
variant
Specifies which configuration file to use. By default the
configuration file of setupcon is /etc/default/console-setup but
if you use e.g. "chukchi" as variant then the configuration file
will be /etc/default/console-setup.chukchi. This allows you to
have several different configurations - for example one for the
Chukchi language and another in /etc/default/console-setup for
your default configuration.
BASIC USAGE
Most of the time you invoke setupcon without arguments. Please look at
the README file for more information.
