Good to hear, but sorry it didn't stick. Your next post looks all

That may depend on whether you ran it on a "real" VC (rather an
oxymoron) or on an Alt-Ctrl-Fn console reached from X. I've
certainly had aspects not work when run in the latter manner,
particularly /etc/console-setup/remap.inc stuff IIRC.

I've never seen that file, and running localectl didn't create it
either. This part of systemd is as yet unexplored by me. I can only
keep up with a certain amount of change at one time.

Well, that came as a surprise to me.
