NAME

       setupcon - sets up the font and the keyboard on Linux console

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

       -f, --font-only
	      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, --verbose
	      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, --help
	      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 sev-
	      eral 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.
