Consider for a moment what that means: editing keyboard configuration in the documented way just does not work. Actually I see three problems: - The debconf prompts shown with dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration do not explain when the changes will take effect. - The /etc/default/keyboard file in upgraded installations gives misleading advice, and there is not other file in /usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/ to tell the true story. - You have to reboot to change the keyboard layout? Perhaps at least #2 is fixable? Reopening just in case. Thanks, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
