In most cases we refernced the concept as "initrd". Let's convert most
remaining uses of "initramfs" to "initrd" too, to stay internally
consistent.
This leaves "initramfs" only where it's relevant to explain historical
concepts or where "initramfs" is part of the API (i.e. in
/run/initramfs).

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>localectl</command> may be used to query and change
|
|
the system locale and keyboard layout settings. It communicates with
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-localed</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
to modify files such as <filename>/etc/locale.conf</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The system locale controls the language settings of system
|
|
services and of the UI before the user logs in, such as the
|
|
display manager, as well as the default for users after
|
|
login.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The keyboard settings control the keyboard layout used on
|
|
the text console and of the graphical UI before the user logs in,
|
|
such as the display manager, as well as the default for users
|
|
after login.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that the changes performed using this tool might require the initrd to be rebuilt to take
|
|
effect during early system boot. The initrd is not rebuilt automatically by
|
|
<filename>localectl</filename>, this task has to be performed manually, usually using a tool like
|
|
<citerefentry
|
|
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>dracut</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
</para>

|
|
<para>Note that
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
may be used to initialize the system locale for mounted (but not booted)
|
|
system images.</para>
