I also get the error if I'm in tmux at the console.(edit) I just tried changing my /etc/vconsole.conf to match yours, it it works fine for me (on a pure systemd system). I do not have the consolefont hook in mkinitcpio.conf.Okay, that was actually the problem for setfont. I quit tmux, and it worked. The configuration file still does not work, except very early in the boot process. Kebertx https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=55668 2012-10-22T21:25:07Z (HowTos)

Stories similar to Console font ignored after switching to systemd

I bit the bullet and changed from SysVinit to systemd, everything is pretty ironed up apart from the console font, which even though I addedFONT="ter-112n"to vconsole.conf doesn't seem to affect the console font.

Same with a Arch i686 on Virtualbox. Downgrade to previous systemd and systemd-sysvcompat resolve this.EDIT: reinstaller 196-2 I removed the shutdown hook from mkinitcpio.conf, regenerate initramfs, rebooted and kernel panic but when reboot using Machine > Reboot, Arch init ok, rebooted again and kernel panic.

I just converted to a pure-systemd system this morning.  Without doing any additional configuration myself, Control+Alt+F1-F6 open virtual consoles and C+A+F7 goes to X.

Starting Setup Virtual Console 26 weeks 6 days ago

I don't think this has anything to do with virtual console setup.  Virtual console setup is when it is starting systemd-vconsole-setup.service, and that simple applies the settings is /etc/vconsole.conf.  Do you have anything in vconsole.conf?  If you speak English and you are okay with the default font and keymap, you can actually remove /etc/vconsole.conf altogether.  I
