systemd-214-5.fc21.x86_64 kernel-3.16.0-0.rc3.git0.1.fc21.x86_64
It seems this kernel? bug is still present[2].
"rd.vconsole.font=ter-v32b" also fails to subsist due to "fb: switching to nouveaufb from VESA VGA".
- journal systemd-vconsole-setup systemd[1]: Starting Setup Virtual Console... systemd-vconsole-setup[347]: putfont: KDFONTOP: Invalid argument systemd-vconsole-setup[347]: /usr/bin/setfont failed with error code 71. systemd[1]: Started Setup Virtual Console.
I've found so far that this can only be overcome with these two almost identical solutions; When I thought of 'actual-vconsole-setup-start' I did not know that Yegor already done it. Saṃsāra.
Yegor's solution[1]: # cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-vconsole-setup.service /etc/systemd/system/ # diff /etc/systemd/system/systemd-vconsole-setup.service \ > /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-vconsole-setup.service 13,14c13,14 < After=sysinit.target < Before=shutdown.target --- > After=systemd-readahead-collect.service systemd-readahead-replay.service > Before=sysinit.target shutdown.target
or even simpler - leave 'systemd-vconsole-setup.service' as is, and make this one /etc/systemd/system/actual-vconsole-setup-start.service: # Actual Virtual Console Setup Start
[Unit] Description=Actual Virtual Console Setup Start
[Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-vconsole-setup
[Install] WantedBy=rescue.target multi-user.target
# systemctl enable actual-vconsole-setup-start.service
and now you have appropriate font size for 1920x1080, no need to lower resolution via "video=<xres>x<yres>". Perhaps '32' is too large, so choose <= '28', e.g. ter-v28b or ter-v24b. /usr/share/doc/terminus-fonts-console/README[.fedora]
