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,
Setup the keyboard only, do not setup the font.
"-f,
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,
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,
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.
