Do you have to change the X keyboard config after installing? Sorry for the late reply, this thread seems to go on forever :-) I'm Swedish and have noticed this too. My Debian Live boot parameters include locale=sv_SE.UTF-8 and keyb=se. With these settings, I can only use Swedish characters (å, ä, ö, etc) in X. In my "standard" Debian install I don't have to change anything related to keyboard or language after initial installation using d-i. I can use Swedish characters both in X and on the console. Perhaps d-i has some "preseed magic" going on to make keyboard configuration for X work out of the box? If so, could the same magic be applied to live-initramfs? Here are some debconf values from my "standard" Debian install related to language and keyboard: console-data/keymap/policy: Don't touch keymap debian-installer/country: SE debian-installer/keymap: se-latin1 debian-installer/language: sv locales/default_environment_locale: sv_SE.UTF-8 locales/locales_to_be_generated: sv_SE.UTF-8 UTF-8 xserver-xorg/autodetect_keyboard: false xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/keyboard/layout: se The debian-installer/keymap and xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/keyboard/layout values look interesting... > To me that seems like a problem in console-data or thereabouts. What do > others think? FWIW, I use local package lists for my live images. The following packages related to locale and console are in these package lists: console-common console-tools locales util-linux-locales Note that I install console-tools instead of kbd! This is done (auto-magically by d-i) in my "standard" Debian install too. Tomorrow I will try building a smallish LXDE Live image with kbd instead of console-tools to see if that solves the problem (probably not).
