keyboard layout

Iris.net
I'm using a general QWERTY keyboard on our new Astaro system. Problem is that the keyboard keysdefenition is set on German, i think, on the Astaro system. How do i change this?

    Hi Iris.net

    these changes can either be made during installation or at the console.

    Just select the correct keybord layout during installation.

    This value is stored in the config file /etc/wfe/conf/console.
    Here you find the actual settings of the Keyboard map.

    you can change this to one of the following values:
    • us.map
    • de.map
    • es.map
    • it.map
    • nl.map
    • fr-latin0.map
      [/list]

      After changing the keyboard map do /etc/rc.d/console start to activate the new keyboard mapping.

      And you are done.

      Hope that helps, 
      kind regards,

    Hi Iris,

    I think that keyboard stuff is an issue for our FAQ - I'm going to propose that to Tom.

    To solve your problem, edit /etc/wfe/conf/console to 
    KBD: us.map
    To help you editing this, do 
    loadkeys /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us to change to US Layout immediately.

    Greetings,

    andreas

    .oO( Without fetching that cup of coffee while answering I'd have been the first... )

    Though Gert's answer is more userfriendly and nice to look at  [:)]
    Congrats,

    thnx! kinda linux newbie sitting over here.
    first impressions of astaro are great! althought it might be a little difficult to setup the box. Just evaluating some FW-systems for an article.
