After upgrade to systemd 218 in QEMU guest running Parabola I saw that systemd-vconsole-setup no longer sets up the font map correctly. It works ok for the host machine running the same distro and systemd version though. When I press backspace or use some keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+R I can see non-printable characters appearing on the screen. I can temporarily fix this by running setfont -m 8859-2, however it'll only work till next reboot or restart of the systemd-vconsole-setup.service.

What systemd rpm version (on the host and in the initramfs)?
On both host and guest machines I have: libsystemd 218-1 systemd 218-1 systemd-sysvcompat 218-1 Parabola does not use RPM. It uses a custom package format so packages are built from sources. You can take a look at the package description file[1]. I couldn't find any systemd file in the initramfs other than `systemd-udevd` binary (which is apparently copied from the system when image is built so the version numbers are identical). In initramfs `/bin/init` is symlinked to `busybox`. [1] https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/systemd
(In reply to Daniel Milewski from comment #4) > On both host and guest machines I have: > > libsystemd 218-1 > systemd 218-1 > systemd-sysvcompat 218-1 There have been fixes after 218 was released to the console setup. You should test with git or wait for 219. > Parabola does not use RPM. It uses a custom package format so packages are > built from sources. You can take a look at the package description file[1]. OK. Then this might be more suitable for the Parabola bug tracker. Those things are very much dependent on configuration that is usually done through the distribution. > I couldn't find any systemd file in the initramfs other than `systemd-udevd` > binary (which is apparently copied from the system when image is built so > the version numbers are identical).

Plese contact the Parabola developers about this, I am not sure we can do anything about this upstream.
