Hi there,

how to change the keyboard layout to german layout?
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration is now working.

Can i edit the file /etc/default/keyboard ?
Thanks

2

this works: sudo apt-get install keyboard-configuration

Thanks, i will get some warnings:
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults

Can i ignore theem?

Is there any other way to change the layout without installing this package?

Those warnings may be ignored.

I think (not something I have tried) that you can alter the file ‘keyboard’ manually, but you will need to find out the appropriate settings.

I installed the package and change to Germany keyboard. But also after a reboot only english keyboard is working.
Anyone has some tips for me?

Thx

Do you also need to set locale??

You may want to check that and set /etc/vconsole.conf accordingly.
or sudo localectl set-keymap --no-convert de Please confirm if OK.

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for helping.
Just changed from Volumio to DietPi because of the lagging node on old rpi hardware.

It is not stable for me on RPI3. If you have other ideas, you’re welcome.

I made a documentation pull request for this: github.com/volumio/docs/pull/24
