How change keyboard layout on Debian LXDE ? - G33RT - 11-27-2017
Hi,
Can someone tell me where I can change the kayboard layout from QWERTY to a Belgian AZERTY layout on Debian LXDE ?
I have search all the settings and could not find any regarding country and keyboard layout.
Any help is welcome ;-)
Cheers

The keyboard file is read only and set attrib does not work as I have no permission.
Don't now how to get root access.

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""
BACKSPACE="guess"

I have found out by myself, here is what I have done.
via command terminal set root password:
Quote:sudo passwd root
go to etc/default/
set attrib 775 to file keyboard
Quote:sudo chmod 775 keyboard
now you can change keyboard file with vi editor
Quote:sudo vi keyboard
change rule XKBLAYOUT="us to XKBLAYOUT="be"
exit vi with :q
reboot
your done!
