I use Dvorak, and this has been an annoyance for me as well. I recently learned about GRUB's newly-added support for non-QWERTY keymaps, and have put together a drop-in solution for Ubuntu users.
Place the attached script in /etc/grub.d/, and run "update-grub". It will use your system-wide keyboard configuration in /etc/default/keyboard . Caveat 1: Entering the GRUB menu by pressing Shift doesn't seem to work. The Esc key works fine, however. Caveat 2: I've only tested this on Oneiric. I don't think Natty's version of GRUB has the necessary keymap support. ** Attachment added: "05_keymap_lp782199" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/782199/+attachment/2617215/+files/05_keymap_lp782199 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/782199 Title: Grub doesn't recognize alternative keyboard layouts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/grub/+bug/782199/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
