Inside the GUI you can choose "System :: Preferences :: Keyboard" switch to the "Layouts" tab. Then add your layout and remove the US one. In the console, things are a little bit trickier becayse a normal "loadkeys xyz" doesn't work (/usr/share/keymaps is empty in the live CD). Instead you must edit the "console-setup" configuration file. The easiest way to do that is to launch this command: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console- setup". This will give you a console based menu system where you answer a couple of basic question. For my swedish keyboard I went with pc105 (generic 105-key (intl) pc), sweden, sweden, right alt, no compose key, utf-8, latin1/latin5, vga font and fontsize 16 (which on my widescreen laptop looks like the good old MS-DOS font).
I agree with you though, it would be very helpful if the live CD had better out of the box support for non-US keyboards (through for example, a startup menu or whatever). -- Choose boot keymap in GutsyGibbon Tribe 5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134742 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
