Linux: Systemd ignore console-setup settings

If you work on older Laptops and you use a Console only System Setup like on Debian there is a Bug on systemd and the console-setup package since years. After reboot all Font Settings seems gone. But the Settings are not real gone, cause systemd does not pull the settings on boot!

How to fix?

  • edit the crontab of root by

sudo su -
crontab -e

  • insert the /bin/setupcon command on “@reboot” means on every boot!

@reboot     /bin/setupcon > /dev/null 2>&1 

  • save and exit, reboot now
  • now the PC should echo big Fonts for old eyes “Terminus 20×12 Frambuffermode”
