This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release. * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we could ship this. * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before we could ship with this patch. * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should probably question if it makes sense at all.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename> file configures
|
|
the virtual console, i.e. keyboard mapping and console font. It is
|
|
applied at boot by
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-vconsole-setup.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The basic file format of the
|
|
<filename>vconsole.conf</filename> is a newline-separated list of
|
|
environment-like shell-compatible variable assignments. It is
|
|
possible to source the configuration from shell scripts, however,
|
|
beyond mere variable assignments no shell features are supported,
|
|
allowing applications to read the file without implementing a
|
|
shell compatible execution engine.</para>
|
|

<para>Note that the kernel command line options

|
<varname>vconsole.keymap=</varname>,

<varname>vconsole.font=</varname>,
|
|
<varname>vconsole.font.map=</varname>,

<varname>vconsole.font.unimap=</varname> may be used
|

to override the console settings at boot.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Depending on the operating system other configuration files
|
|
might be checked for configuration of the virtual console as well,

however only as fallback.</para>
