SonWon Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I need to change the keyboard to 'German (eliminate dead keys)' This is the Xubuntu keyboard name I use in Xubuntu. The language needs to stay at English. I couldn't find a setting to change. Help please. Quote Link to comment
Niklas Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) I used the plugin "Nerd Tools". Installed "kbd-1.15.3-x86_64-2.txz" (Settings - Nerd Pack) and added this to the go file on flash for Swedish keyboard (qwerty) in terminal etc: # load keyboard layout loadkeys se-latin1 For german (qwertz), you have these: de-latin1-nodeadkeys de-latin1 de-mobii de de_CH-latin1 de_alt_UTF-8 Add and reboot (you can also try it out by running "loadkeys de-latin1-nodeadkeys" in the server terminal without rebooting ofc). You could also download kbd-1.15.3-x86_64-2.txz manually and put it in to flash/extra folder and it will install at boot instead of using Nerd Tools. I hope this helps.
