Q Light Controller+

Hi guys,

I've used Massimo's last RPi image and made the update to 4.9.1. When I try now to change the keyboard layout I don't get any error, but the layout doesn't change. Don't know which layout has been installed by default (italian, english,...?) but I want to use the german one. I've tried with raspi-config, "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-layout" and even by changing "/etc/default/keyboard" but it doesn't change anything.
I looked for a few hours to find a solution but without success. I even tried with a "apt-get upgrade", as some guys had success with that.
Maybe in Massimo's image there's something different?

Thank you

Andreas


edit: adesso ho ricopiato l'image di Massimo senza fare l'update a 4.9.1. Stessa cosa peró. Ho dimenticato di dire che con raspi-config non è possibile scegliere il punto di cambio tastiera affinché non si installa keyboard-configuration che stranamente non c'è sul sistema (basta un "apt-get install keyboard-configuration")

edit2: stessa cosa anche con l'image di aprile

Hi, I haven't tried it yet, but can you do this:
I think you need to uncheck english and check german

This might be helpful too (especially the 4th post)

Thank you, Massimo, I'll try it tomorrow, but i think I already did that step.
I noticed just now that I switched to italian in my post at the end.

I think there is a slight changemend in the underlaying wheezy concerning the keyboard configuration of the system console.


in the latest version (and other distributions as Linux-Mint - I searched quite a while to change the layout for the system console F1-F6)
this did the job for me:
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration


in older Versions:
dpkg-reconfigure console-data (this worked for older versions of qlc-plus wheezys)


Probably you have already done:
locale -a (check locals)
dpkg-reconfigure locales
if nothing happens: you may also restart the system (for LXDE: IMO ldm and lxde takes the settings of the system console by default)
