change initial keyboard layout of Raspberry Pi
Posted: 2012/08/15 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: debian, keyboard layout, squeeze Leave a commentI used debian squeeze as my first try or the raspberry.
First thing I noticed is that the keyboard layout is UK. I am in Germany, so I need to switch this.
After some searching I found this method:
1) ensure you have internet connection (e.g. via ethernet)
2) type:
sudo apt-get install console-data console-tools debconf
After downloading and installing has finished a graphical menu appears.
3) Select “Select keymap from full list”
4) I chose “pc/qwertz/german/standard/latin1-no dead keys”
Work like a charm for me.
In case the installaion ends without the menu or you want to change the layout later again use:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data
