Small console font when decrypting LUKS and logging in through Ly

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware

Hey guys, as in title.
My /home partition is encrypted.
I created a /etc/vconsole.conf file with a specified font as the default one is too small for me to read. The thing is, once I rebuild the dracut the font size during boot is ok, but when LUKS prompt appears, the font is too small.
The font should remain bigger, as the Ly (display manager I use) is another step to log in, but even if I circumvent by setting a cron rule, the size returns to default VGA when I reach Ly.

Have tested this earlier on a VM installation without encryption and it seems to be ok – the font size both in LUKS prompt and Ly looks fine.

Just in case, here’s my /etc/vconsole.conf content:

KEYMAP=pl2
FONT=ter-u32n

Is there anything else I should do?

Try adding /etc/vconsole.conf to your initramfs by creating a dracut config for it in /etc/dracut.conf.d.

/etc/dracut.conf.d/vconsole.conf

It doesn’t have to be called vconsole.conf, it can be called anything you want as long as it ends in .conf.

install_items+=" /etc/vconsole.conf "

Save and exit the file, then regenerate the initrds. If you are using systemd-boot:

sudo reinstall-kernels

If you are not using systrmd-boot:

sudo dracut-rebuild

Just tried that, unfortunately didn’t work.
