Hey team Garuda,
Recently I did a fresh Install of Garuda OS.
After Getting everything done post installation when I rebooted my system it said
[Failed] Failed to start Setup Virtual Console
It’s irritating…
Since it’s only irritating, I guess not blocking, I assume your system is booting?
If so, you should always provide your garuda-inxi, as required by the template.
This would help troubleshooting, e.g. to check if the service below is failing.
Please provide also the output of:
systemctl status systemd-vconsole-setup.service
And also:
cat /etc/vconsole.conf

please help soon as possible…
This is the problem.
Try changing this:
KEYMAP=in
to
KEYMAP=us
and give a:
sudo dracut-rebuild
And reboot.
I’m not 100% that the us keyboard layout is correct for India, but for console it should not be a big problem.
Anyway, you can check the available keymaps with localectl list-keymaps.
Please be patient. No one is paid here, and we are all volunteers who offer some of their free time…
