2010-02-14 21:02:19 Jarod description Binary package hint: console-data I am running Lucid-amd64 on my machine. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch) Release: 10.04 I installed it via: debootstrap --arch amd64 lucid /tftpboot/ubuntu-10.4 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ chroot /tftpboot/ubuntu-10.4 apt-get install language-pack-en apt-get install nfs-common linux-image-2.6.32-13-generic console-data ### I set the keymap to qwertz -> Germany -> latin1 - no dead keys. ### groupadd ... useradd ... passwd ... vigr ... After editing /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf for boot via NFS and updating the initrd, I bootet the machine via PXE and had an english keymap after fist login. I then did "dpkg-reconfigure console-data". The following dialog showed the settings I did during install. After dpkg-reconfigure was done, I had the correct console keyboard layout again. But after a reboot, I was back to the English layout. Even with a working German layout I cannot type any Umlauts (äöü) or ß. dpkg -l|egrep "kbd|console-data|language-pack" shows the following: ii console-data 2:1.10-1 keymaps, fonts, charset maps, fallback table ii kbd 1.15-1ubuntu1 Linux console font and keytable utilities ii language-pack-en 1:10.04+20100206.1 translation updates for language English ii language-pack-en-base 1:10.04+20100206.1 translations for language English Thanks for your help.

The last 4 lines in /etc/default/console-setup looked like this: XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="us" XKBVARIANT="" XKBOPTIONS="" That explains, why the machine always comes up with an English layout. This also means I have to do "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" to change the layout. So after installing console-data I would have expected at least a warning , telling me that what ever I set up under this dialogue will have no affect when console-setup is installed. Thank you.
