Failed to start Virtual Console Setup

Hey, I’ve had this issues after the last update.

And at the same while booting.

Setfont: KDFONTOP: Function not implemented

sudo lsinitcpio /boot/initramfs-linux* | grep console
==> ERROR: No such file: '/boot/initramfs-linux*'

Darn it. No file found

In Manjaro the filename is formatted differently. Look for something like initramfs-6.1-x86_64.img. :wink:

Sorry for the late reply. I had a look yesterday before bed.

sudo lsinitcpio /boot/initramfs-* | grep console
consolefont.psf
hooks/consolefont
usr/lib/modules/6.1.53-1-MANJARO/kernel/drivers/char/virtio_console.ko
sudo lsinitcpio /boot/initramfs-6.5-x86_64-x86_64.img | grep console
==> ERROR: No such file: '/boot/initramfs-6.5-x86_64-x86_64.img'

But the file is there.

Boot
ls
efi                                intel-ucode.img
grub                               linux61-x86_64.kver
initramfs-6.1-x86_64-fallback.img  linux65-x86_64.kver
initramfs-6.1-x86_64.img           memtest86+
initramfs-6.5-x86_64-fallback.img  vmlinuz-6.1-x86_64
initramfs-6.5-x86_64.img           vmlinuz-6.5-x86_64

Not the same:

/boot/initramfs-6.5-x86_64-x86_64.img
/boot/initramfs-6.5-x86_64.img

New update. added setfont to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf BINARIES=(setfont) area. did rebuild.

Now get setfont: error kdfontop.c:183 put_fount_kdfontop: unable to load such font with such kernel verson

Plus: removed au form vconsole.

Fixed had to add a font to vconsole that is in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts
