-
- <para>This section discusses how to configure the <command>console</command>
- bootscript that sets up the keyboard map, console font and console kernel log
- level. If non-ASCII characters (e.g., the copyright sign, the British pound
- sign and Euro symbol) will not be used and the keyboard is a U.S. one, much
- of this section can be skipped. Without the configuration file, (or
- equivalent settings in <filename>rc.site</filename>), the
- <command>console</command> bootscript will do nothing.</para>
-
- <sect2 id="ch-scripts-sysv-console">
- <title>System V</title>
-
- <para>The <command>console</command> script reads the
- <filename>/etc/sysconfig/console</filename> file for configuration
- information. Decide which keymap and screen font will be used. Various
- language-specific HOWTOs can also help with this, see <ulink
- url="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/other-lang.html"/>. If still in
- doubt, look in the <filename class="directory">/usr/share/keymaps</filename>
- and <filename class="directory">/usr/share/consolefonts</filename> directories
- for valid keymaps and screen fonts. Read <filename>loadkeys(1)</filename> and
- <filename>setfont(8)</filename> manual pages to determine the correct
- arguments for these programs.</para>
-
- <para>The <filename>/etc/sysconfig/console</filename> file should contain lines
- of the form: VARIABLE="value". The following variables are recognized:</para>
-
- <variablelist>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term>LOGLEVEL</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>This variable specifies the log level for kernel messages sent
- to the console as set by <command>dmesg</command>. Valid levels are
- from "1" (no messages) to "8". The default level is "7".</para>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term>KEYMAP</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>This variable specifies the arguments for the
- <command>loadkeys</command> program, typically, the name of keymap
- to load, e.g., <quote>es</quote>. If this variable is not set, the
- bootscript will not run the <command>loadkeys</command> program,
- and the default kernel keymap will be used.</para>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term>KEYMAP_CORRECTIONS</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>This (rarely used) variable
- specifies the arguments for the second call to the
- <command>loadkeys</command> program. This is useful if the stock keymap
- is not completely satisfactory and a small adjustment has to be made. E.g.,
- to include the Euro sign into a keymap that normally doesn't have it,
- set this variable to <quote>euro2</quote>.</para>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term>FONT</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>This variable specifies the arguments for the
- <command>setfont</command> program. Typically, this includes the font
- name, <quote>-m</quote>, and the name of the application character
- map to load. E.g., in order to load the <quote>lat1-16</quote> font
- together with the <quote>8859-1</quote> application character map
- (as it is appropriate in the USA),
- <!-- because of the copyright sign -->
- set this variable to <quote>lat1-16 -m 8859-1</quote>.
- In UTF-8 mode, the kernel uses the application character map for
- conversion of composed 8-bit key codes in the keymap to UTF-8, and thus
- the argument of the "-m" parameter should be set to the encoding of the
- composed key codes in the keymap.</para>
-
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term>UNICODE</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>Set this variable to <quote>1</quote>, <quote>yes</quote> or
- <quote>true</quote> in order to put the
- console into UTF-8 mode. This is useful in UTF-8 based locales and
- harmful otherwise.</para>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term>LEGACY_CHARSET</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>For many keyboard layouts, there is no stock Unicode keymap in
- the Kbd package. The <command>console</command> bootscript will
- convert an available keymap to UTF-8 on the fly if this variable is
- set to the encoding of the available non-UTF-8 keymap.</para>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
-
- </variablelist>
-
- <para>Some examples:</para>
-
- <itemizedlist>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>For a non-Unicode setup, only the KEYMAP and FONT variables are
- generally needed. E.g., for a Polish setup, one would use:</para>
-
-<screen role="nodump"><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/sysconfig/console &lt;&lt; "EOF"
-<literal># Begin /etc/sysconfig/console
-
-KEYMAP="pl2"
-FONT="lat2a-16 -m 8859-2"
-
-# End /etc/sysconfig/console</literal>
-EOF</userinput></screen>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>As mentioned above, it is sometimes necessary to adjust a
- stock keymap slightly. The following example adds the Euro symbol to the
- German keymap:</para>
-
-<screen role="nodump"><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/sysconfig/console &lt;&lt; "EOF"
-<literal># Begin /etc/sysconfig/console
-
-KEYMAP="de-latin1"
-KEYMAP_CORRECTIONS="euro2"
-FONT="lat0-16 -m 8859-15"
-
-# End /etc/sysconfig/console</literal>
-EOF</userinput></screen>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>The following is a Unicode-enabled example for Bulgarian, where a
- stock UTF-8 keymap exists:</para>
-
-<screen role="nodump"><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/sysconfig/console &lt;&lt; "EOF"
-<literal># Begin /etc/sysconfig/console
-
-UNICODE="1"
-KEYMAP="bg_bds-utf8"
-FONT="LatArCyrHeb-16"
-
-# End /etc/sysconfig/console</literal>
-EOF</userinput></screen>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>Due to the use of a 512-glyph LatArCyrHeb-16 font in the previous
- example, bright colors are no longer available on the Linux console unless
- a framebuffer is used. If one wants to have bright colors without
- framebuffer and can live without characters not belonging to his language,
- it is still possible to use a language-specific 256-glyph font, as
- illustrated below:</para>
-
-<screen role="nodump"><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/sysconfig/console &lt;&lt; "EOF"
-<literal># Begin /etc/sysconfig/console
-
-UNICODE="1"
-KEYMAP="bg_bds-utf8"
-FONT="cyr-sun16"
-
-# End /etc/sysconfig/console</literal>
-EOF</userinput></screen>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>The following example illustrates keymap autoconversion from
- ISO-8859-15 to UTF-8 and enabling dead keys in Unicode mode:</para>
-
-<screen role="nodump"><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/sysconfig/console &lt;&lt; "EOF"
-<literal># Begin /etc/sysconfig/console
-
-UNICODE="1"
-KEYMAP="de-latin1"
-KEYMAP_CORRECTIONS="euro2"
-LEGACY_CHARSET="iso-8859-15"
-FONT="LatArCyrHeb-16 -m 8859-15"
-
-# End /etc/sysconfig/console</literal>
-EOF</userinput></screen>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>Some keymaps have dead keys (i.e., keys that don't produce a
- character by themselves, but put an accent on the character produced
- by the next key) or define composition rules (such as: <quote>press
- Ctrl+. A E to get &AElig;</quote> in the default keymap).
- Linux-&linux-version; interprets dead keys and composition rules in the
- keymap correctly only when the source characters to be composed together
- are not multibyte. This deficiency doesn't affect keymaps for European
- languages, because there accents are added to unaccented ASCII
- characters, or two ASCII characters are composed together. However, in
- UTF-8 mode it is a problem, e.g., for the Greek language, where one
- sometimes needs to put an accent on the letter <quote>alpha</quote>.
- The solution is either to avoid the use of UTF-8, or to install the
- X window system that doesn't have this limitation in its input
- handling.</para>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>For Chinese, Japanese, Korean and some other languages, the Linux
- console cannot be configured to display the needed characters. Users
- who need such languages should install the X Window System, fonts that
- cover the necessary character ranges, and the proper input method (e.g.,
- SCIM, it supports a wide variety of languages).</para>
- </listitem>
-
- </itemizedlist>
-
- <!-- Added because folks keep posting their console file with X questions
- to blfs-support list -->
- <note>
- <para>The <filename>/etc/sysconfig/console</filename> file only controls
- the Linux text console localization. It has nothing to do with setting
- the proper keyboard layout and terminal fonts in the X Window System, with
- ssh sessions or with a serial console. In such situations, limitations
- mentioned in the last two list items above do not apply.</para>

- <para>The optional <filename>/etc/sysconfig/rc.site</filename> file contains
- settings that are automatically set for each SystemV boot script. It can
- alternatively set the values specified in the <filename>hostname</filename>,
- <filename>console</filename>, and <filename>clock</filename> files in the
- <filename class='directory'>/etc/sysconfig/</filename> directory. If the
- associated variables are present in both these separate files and
- <filename>rc.site</filename>, the values in the script specific files have
- precedence. </para>
-
- <para><filename>rc.site</filename> also contains parameters that can
- customize other aspects of the boot process. Setting the IPROMPT variable
- will enable selective running of bootscripts. Other options are described
- in the file comments. The default version of the file is as follows:</para>

- <title>Customizing the Boot and Shutdown Scripts</title>
-
- <para>The LFS boot scripts boot and shut down a system in a fairly
- efficient manner, but there are a few tweaks that you can make in the
- rc.site file to improve speed even more and to adjust messages according
- to your preferences. To do this, adjust the settings in
- the <filename>/etc/sysconfig/rc.site</filename> file above.</para>
-
- <itemizedlist>
-
- <listitem><para>During the boot script <filename>udev</filename>, there is
- a call to <command>udev settle</command> that requires some time to
- complete. This time may or may not be required depending on devices present
- in the system. If you only have simple partitions and a single ethernet
- card, the boot process will probably not need to wait for this command. To
- skip it, set the variable OMIT_UDEV_SETTLE=y.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>The boot script <filename>udev_retry</filename> also runs
- <command>udev settle</command> by default. This command is only needed by
- default if the <filename class='directory'>/var</filename> directory is
- separately mounted. This is because the clock needs the file
- <filename>/var/lib/hwclock/adjtime</filename>. Other customizations may
- also need to wait for udev to complete, but in many installations it is not
- needed. Skip the command by setting the variable OMIT_UDEV_RETRY_SETTLE=y.
- </para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>By default, the file system checks are silent. This can
- appear to be a delay during the bootup process. To turn on the
- <command>fsck</command> output, set the variable VERBOSE_FSCK=y.
- </para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>When rebooting, you may want to skip the filesystem check,
- <command>fsck</command>, completely. To do this, either create the file
- <filename>/fastboot</filename> or reboot the system with the command
- <command>/sbin/shutdown -f -r now</command>. On the other hand, you can
- force all file systems to be checked by creating
- <filename>/forcefsck</filename> or running <command>shutdown</command> with
- the <parameter>-F</parameter> parameter instead of <parameter>-f</parameter>.
- </para>
-
- <para>Setting the variable FASTBOOT=y will disable <command>fsck</command>
- during the boot process until it is removed. This is not recommended
- on a permanent basis.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Normally, all files in the <filename
- class='directory'>/tmp</filename> directory are deleted at boot time.
- Depending on the number of files or directories present, this can cause a
- noticeable delay in the boot process. To skip removing these files set the
- variable SKIPTMPCLEAN=y.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>During shutdown, the <command>init</command> program sends
- a TERM signal to each program it has started (e.g. agetty), waits for a set
- time (default 3 seconds), and sends each process a KILL signal and waits
- again. This process is repeated in the <command>sendsignals</command>
- script for any processes that are not shut down by their own scripts. The
- delay for <command>init</command> can be set by passing a parameter. For
- example to remove the delay in <command>init</command>, pass the -t0
- parameter when shutting down or rebooting (e.g. <command>/sbin/shutdown
- -t0 -r now</command>). The delay for the <command>sendsignals</command>
- script can be skipped by setting the parameter
- KILLDELAY=0.</para></listitem>
