[SOLVED] font & size in bash shell permanently

Hi


1. Clean arch linux default installation
2. First, via wiki, I successfully set font, for example :

```
setfont /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-232n.psf.gz
```

3. Try it permanently:  single line config in /etc/vconsole.conf

```
FONT=ter-232n
```

And reboot, but the default shell font is not set. What is wrong?

Re: [SOLVED] font & size in bash shell permanently

"bash" isn't relevant here, you're looking to configure the linux console.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_ … figuration  - the lower three paragraphs, you notably most likely will have to recreate the initramfs.

Yes, I Read it

BUT
1. my hook contains: consolefont and recreates initramfs with mkinitcpio
2. no Nvidia or any other gpu installed 
3. restart systemd-vconsole-setup.service .... work, but after restart, reset to default

Re: [SOLVED] font & size in bash shell permanently

Did you run mkinicpio?
Edit: and did it produce any (relevant) errors?
Is the font in the initramfs?
Is the gpu driver (some GPU will be in the system, right? probably i915) in the initramfs?

I use encrypted disk when inputting password font similar to my set
my hook : HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf keyboard keymap consolefont block encrypt filesystems fsck)
restart systemd-vconsole-setup.service .... work, but after restart, reset to default

Yes, run no relevant error show.

Is the font in the initramfs?
I think NO if initramfs config mkinitcpio.conf is default only change is :
MODULES=(vfat)
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf keyboard keymap consolefont block encrypt filesystems fsck)

Is the gpu driver (some GPU will be in the system, right? Probably i915) in the initramfs?

NO
NO any gpu module in mkinitcpio.conf BUT xf86-video-intel installed

Better post the actual output…

I think NO if initramfs config mkinitcpio.conf is default only change is :

Translation: you've no idea how to check that. Just ask next time.

cat /proc/cmdline
lsblk -f
sudo lsinitcpio /boot/initramfs-linux.img | grep -iE '(i915|psf)'

NO

You understand that this is a problem described in the wiki?

BUT xf86-video-intel installed

That's not a good idea but also completely irrelevant to the subject at hand.

Re: [SOLVED] font & size in bash shell permanently

It doesn't look like the font is in the initramfs.  You also still haven't provided the output of mkinitcpio yet, please do so now.

Re: [SOLVED] font & size in bash shell permanently

So the consolefont hook runs w/o error.
Add the kms hook, run mkinitcpio again and then

lsinitcpio /boot/initramfs-linux.img | grep -iE '(font|i915|console|psf|fnt)' | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

Re: [SOLVED] font & size in bash shell permanently

So the consolefont.psf *now* is in the initramfs, but i915 isn't.
Did you not add the kms hook?
Oc. "xf86-video-intel" could just be misleading…

Re: [SOLVED] font & size in bash shell permanently

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_mode_setting but the point is to load that in the initramfs before applying the console font.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
