Sounds like your box is treating the keyboard as a french keyboard. I'm assuming you are using the default desktop (which is Unity these days). In which case... well, I dislike Unity, so immediately switch to gnome, but only long enough to install the KDE desktop (via the kubuntu-desktop pacakge). So... find where your Locale settings are (date/time format, etc.). You can should be able to select your language and keyboard settings here.

The Keyboard locale is set for en-us UTF-8 but some of the keys are not mapped 
properly.

Its an IBM PC-104 KB... standard which I've used for over a decade.

for instance the ?/ key gives a little e and a big E with I think two (2) dots 
on it.  the ~` key gives * and some thing else.


How can I fix this.  My next option is to give up on Kubuntu and go to Debian.

I think a HUGE number of packages I expect to be installed are missing anyways. 
 Comments?  Why is Ubuntu so great?
