Starting Setup Virtual Console

linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – 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 highly doubt this will solve your issues.What kind of hardware are you running?  Since you suspect a KMS issue, what kind of graphics card sepcifically.

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.

You do have the settings above in /etc/vconsole.conf? If so, add "consolefont" to HOOKS array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf (put it at the very beginning of the array) and rebuild your vmlinuz.

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.

Apparently it’s some encoding (iso-8859-? vs. cp85?) problem. What is in your /etc/vconsole.conf and /etc/locale.conf files?

I've recently switched to Arch Linux and am quite happy with it.  I've never had so much fun with Linux until a friend recommended Arch.  I have since installed it on both my MacBook Pro and Mac mini.  Everything has been pretty smooth, but I do have one issue.During the boot process, the system starts up with its default console font, per the usual.  I have edited /e

Do you have a font set in /etc/vconsole.conf?  I had a similar problem with an install in virtualbox and setting a font cleared it up.
