Change to german keyboard - QWERZ

[namtih]

Perhaps something for xbian-config:

Code:

sudo apt-get install console-data console-tools debconf
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data
-> option "Select from full list"
-> entry "PC / QWERZ / German / latin1"

Instead of installing all these new packages, can you try this solution:

Thanks, but the keyboard file doesn't exist here.
Also the last command "setupcon" is unknown. So it seems also no out-of-the-box method.

But installing those 3 packages took only very little space and time and worked perfectly.
But such keyboard option would be a nice feature for xbian-config. Perhaps you will find an easy method to implement. Otherwise here are now 2 possible solutions if someone is looking for it :-)

It should work by only using step 1 and 2, however need to look what package is needed for the "/etc/default/keyboard" file

Here is the missing step
1. sudo nano /etc/default/keyboard
fill out the right keyboard in your case I guess it is de
2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
follow instructions
3. sudo apt-get install console-setup (this step is necessary for the program setupcon to be installed!)
4. sudo setupcon (in fact not necessary because it is automatically performed when going through step 3, you'll see the screen blink a
moment when setupcon is executing)
