Keyboard layout HELP!!!!
Hi,
just installed a redmine VM, when i tried to change keyboard with the console command: dkpg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration it says packdge not installed. After a software update on all packdges it works, but the defenitions I choose dont't work. on the console I always get the US keyboard layout instead PT!!!
Any ideias?

Reply 2Ok, here is the solution I've found.
1 - go to the webmin and do this SYSTEM -> SOFTWARE PACKADGES -> UPGRADE ALL
2 - (I don't recall if the order was this) go to the console and do the following:
apt-get install console-data
apt-get install console-setup
apt-get install console-locales
apt-get install keyboard-configuration
all of these should install OK now.
3 - just do the dpkg-reconfigure for each of the packets above. REBOOT.
and that was it, I finally got PT keyboard configurated. This worked for me... give it a try.
Enjoy.

Reply 5Problem solved:)
But IIRC the guy couldn't work it out and gave up... I can't offer any help but i suggest that you perhaps try posting on the Debian forums (TKL v12.x is based on Debian Squeeze).
