Hi,

Is there really no solution ? Or am I posting this question in the wrong forum ?

Thanks

No, certainly not the wrong forum but probably your keyboard layout isn't supported. Unfortunately I have only a version 4 firewall available at the moment. Have a look at /usr/share, and see if there is an according file if yes you could try to load it with the command 'loadkeys and in case it works you may proceed with having a look at /etc/console :-)

Hi, thanks

In /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/azerty I found an azerty.map.gz
Is that the one I should load, or should I unpack/copy/do-something-else with it first ?

What's Wrong with My Console Keyboard and Fonts?

Apparently, you need to do a loadkeys azerty; add it to your .bash_profile (is there an /etc/profile on Astaro that would affect all logins??)

Hi, thanks ! The url was very usefull !

I changed "uk" into "azerty" in /etc/console and everything is fine now (at least for root, I didn't try the other login's)
