Keyboard model:

Origin of the keyboard:

Keyboard layout:

There is more than one possible keyboard layout with the origin you selected. Please select the layout matching the keyboard for this machine.

Keep unsupported settings in configuration file?

The configuration file /etc/default/console-setup specifies a keyboard layout (${XKBLAYOUT}), which is not supported by the configuration program.

Please choose whether you want to keep it. If you choose this option, no questions about the keyboard layout will be asked and the current configuration will be preserved.

Keep default keyboard layout (${XKBLAYOUT})?

The default value for the keyboard layout is based on the currently defined language/region and the settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. This default value is ${XKBLAYOUT}, which is not supported by the configuration program.

Please choose whether you want to keep it. If you choose this option, no questions about the keyboard layout will be asked.

Keep unsupported options (${XKBOPTIONS})?

The configuration file /etc/default/console-setup specifies options for the keyboard layout (${XKBOPTIONS}) that are not supported by the configuration program.

The default value for the options of the keyboard layout is based on the currently defined language/region and the settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. This default value is ${XKBOPTIONS}, which is not supported by the configuration program.

Font for the console:

"VGA" has a traditional appearance and has medium coverage of international scripts. "Fixed" has a simplistic appearance and has better coverage of international scripts. "Terminus" may help to reduce eye fatigue, though some symbols have a similar aspect which may be a problem for programmers.

If you prefer a bold version of the Terminus font, choose either TerminusBold (if you use a framebuffer) or TerminusBoldVGA (otherwise).

Font size:

Please select the size of the font for the Linux console. For reference, the font used when the computer boots has size 16.

Please select the size of the font for the Linux console. Simple integers corresponding to fonts can be used with all console drivers. The number then represents the font height (number of scan lines). Alternatively, the font may be represented as HEIGHTxWIDTH; however, such font specifications require the kbd console package (not console-tools) plus framebuffer (and the RadeonFB kernel driver for framebuffer does not support them either).

Font heights can be useful for figuring out the real size of the symbols on the console. For reference, the font used when the computer boots has size 16.

Encoding to use on the console:

Virtual consoles in use:

Please enter a space-delimited list of virtual consoles you use. The usual Unix filename wildcards are allowed (*, ? and [...]).

If you are unsure, then use the default /dev/tty[1-6] which stands for six virtual consoles.
