NAME


localectl - Control the system locale and keyboard layout settings

SYNOPSIS


localectl [OPTIONS...] {COMMAND}

DESCRIPTION


localectl may be used to query and change the system locale and keyboard layout settings.

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.

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.

Use systemd-firstboot(1) to initialize the system locale for mounted (but not booted)
system images.

OPTIONS


The following options are understood:

--no-ask-password
Do not query the user for authentication for privileged operations.

--no-convert
If set-keymap or set-x11-keymap is invoked and this option is passed, then the keymap
will not be converted from the console to X11, or X11 to console, respectively.

-H, --host=
Execute the operation remotely. Specify a hostname, or a username and hostname
separated by "@", to connect to. The hostname may optionally be suffixed by a
container name, separated by ":", which connects directly to a specific container on
the specified host. This will use SSH to talk to the remote machine manager instance.
Container names may be enumerated with machinectl -H HOST.

-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.

--version
Print a short version string and exit.

--no-pager
Do not pipe output into a pager.

The following commands are understood:

status
Show current settings of the system locale and keyboard mapping.

set-locale LOCALE...
Set the system locale. This takes one or more assignments such as "LANG=de_DE.utf8",
"LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.utf8", and so on. See locale(7) for details on the available
settings and their meanings. Use list-locales for a list of available locales (see
below).

list-locales
List available locales useful for configuration with set-locale.

set-keymap MAP [TOGGLEMAP]
Set the system keyboard mapping for the console and X11. This takes a mapping name
(such as "de" or "us"), and possibly a second one to define a toggle keyboard mapping.
Unless --no-convert is passed, the selected setting is also applied as the default
system keyboard mapping of X11, after converting it to the closest matching X11
keyboard mapping. Use list-keymaps for a list of available keyboard mappings (see
below).

list-keymaps
List available keyboard mappings for the console, useful for configuration with
set-keymap.

set-x11-keymap LAYOUT [MODEL [VARIANT [OPTIONS]]]
Set the system default keyboard mapping for X11 and the virtual console. This takes a
keyboard mapping name (such as "de" or "us"), and possibly a model, variant, and
options, see kbd(4) for details. Unless --no-convert is passed, the selected setting
is also applied as the system console keyboard mapping, after converting it to the
closest matching console keyboard mapping.

list-x11-keymap-models, list-x11-keymap-layouts, list-x11-keymap-variants [LAYOUT],
list-x11-keymap-options
List available X11 keymap models, layouts, variants and options, useful for
configuration with set-keymap. The command list-x11-keymap-variants optionally takes a
layout parameter to limit the output to the variants suitable for the specific layout.

EXIT STATUS


On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.

ENVIRONMENT


$SYSTEMD_PAGER
Pager to use when --no-pager is not given; overrides $PAGER. Setting this to an empty
string or the value "cat" is equivalent to passing --no-pager.

$SYSTEMD_LESS
Override the default options passed to less ("FRSXMK").
