AV.Linux Setting keyboard layout

Post by J0J0 »

Hi, embarrassed having to ask such a simple question, but how to set the keyboard layout in AV.Linux MX Edition?

Tried setting it via keyboard and system keyboard settings in the menu but still it is the US english default setup.

Thanks for any hints!

In Debian (and other Debian-based distros) you can use:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration 

in mix, nobody can hear your screen

Have you already tried "setxkbmap de" (https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/ ... ap.1.xhtml)? You can enter this in the startup programs and your system will then always start with it.

thanks for your answers - in the meantime I found it. Somehow my system setting did not work - setting it again with the regular keyboard setting tool did the trick.

also some things were strange with the mac keyboard layout I chose (my external keyboard has a mac layout) - I now went back to just configuring a standrad pc type 105 key keyboard.

well, sorry to not be technically specific here. I fiddled around and got it to work - will try to give more useful explanations later on when I have booted into AVLinux

As AVL-MXE is a respin of MX Linux, you will find a lot of information that is not specific to audio can be found in the MX manual, wiki, or on their forums.
It would be a humongous job for Glen to duplicate it all in the AVL-MXE manual!

if you want to switch between f.ex. de and en maps with alt + shift:

Code: Select all

setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout de,en -option_grp:alt_shift_toggle
