[SOLVED]Keyboard Layout

soraaru · 2014-02-15 17:23:35

Hello guys.
I got a strange problem with #!, I just installed the new version of the system. Got all the updates and stuff, but there`s a problem:
I use a brazilian keyboard (the layout is different, there`s like 3 different keys in it) and I can`t change to the proper layout.

This is my /etc/default/keyboard/

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="br"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""

BACKSPACE="guess"

Any help would be appreciated.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

Screen 1 - choose a Model of Keyboard

Screen 2 - Select the layout - Portuguese (Brazil)

Screen 3 - Choose a configuration

Screen 4 - Alt-Gr configuration

if the configuration selections in Screen 3 & 4 don't work try a different ones ...
Can't remember if you need to log-out or reboot ... but that should get you going.

Still doesn`t work, I`ve tried with other keyboards or regions and other keyboards and still is like that.
I had an older PS/2 keyboard and it worked just fine, but this one uses USB, maybe that could give it some trouble with the region and layout.

Hmmm interesting.
Be right back ...

Got a model name - number on the bottom of the keyboard?

The PS/2 stopped working and it`s in recycling now, but the USB is a Logitech K230 (it`s a little different from the North American version just because of the keys).

Try this:

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="microsoftprousb"
XKBLAYOUT="br"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch"

BACKSPACE="guess"

It didn't work, but a friend told me to use this and worked:

setxkbmap -model abnt2 -layout br -variant abnt2 &

Then you just need to put it in the autostart and everything should be fine.
Now, if someone has the same problem, just tell that.

Thanks for the help.
