Topic: [SOLVED] Keyboard layout

Yes, I have followed the instructions in the Statler Alpha Known Issues to correct the keyboard layout from gb to en.  However, it still seems to be stuck in gb.  "Shift"+"3" = "£" and "Shift" + "2" = quotation, and "Shift" + " ' " = @.

Is this happening for anyone else?  Are there any other fixes available?

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] Keyboard layout

did you also change your .config/openbox/autostart.sh file? you have to edit the line saying "xkbmap ..."
you can also try to search the forum for "autostart.sh"+"keyboard" or the like.

Re: [SOLVED] Keyboard layout

Did you reboot?  The fix doesn't take effect until after you reboot.

Re: [SOLVED] Keyboard layout

I did reboot, but I guess it didn't take the first time that I did it.  Or the second or third time...  big_smile

Anyway, its working now.  Thanks for you help guys.
