[lubuntu-devel] bug #1549529, failure to install a non-US-English keyboard

[Phill. Whiteside]

Hi,

using the server iso I followed an answer on askubuntu

up vote3down voteaccepted

using sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration will change your
keyboardlayout just for this session.

go for sudo nano /etc/default/keyboard there you can change your keyboard
settings.

Find the line :

XKBLAYOUT="xx"

You can change layout and kboptions as well as your model and the kbvariant.


This works and persists after a reboot

Nio, can you give it a try with Swedish.


Regards,


Phill.
