[LIVE] How to change the keyboard layout? - frank_jarle - 2010-12-31
Hi
I have installed the LIVE on a USB stick, even i during installation set the language to be english but country set to Norway it still keeps english (US) keyboard layout) is there an easy way to fix this, maybe through a GUI if not through a config file?
Computer: Asus Eee PC 1000H
Location: Norway, Oslo
Keboard Language Layout: Norwegian, Bokmål
If anyone could please tell me where i change the keyboard layout and what i should change to i would appreciate this very much, thanks
Frank, Norway

This depends on your xbmc version
Here is the command line that sets USA English keyboard layout to default but still makes it possible to switch to second layout using keyboard combination (depends on your keyboard settings, default combination is Alt + Alt):
setxkbmap us, ru
And at last, you might already know that every time user opens terminal in Ubuntu ~/.bashrc file is executed so just add above line to the end of that file:
echo "setxkbmap us" >> ~/.bashrc
you can also have a look in xorg.conf if you have a older version or try the following
Default Language : dpkg-reconfigure locales
Keyboard Layout : dpkg-reconfigure console-data
or Default Language : sudo set-language-env -E
Keyboard Layout : sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
or read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
