<t>Phoenix RasPi said: <br/> <br/> <br/> When I VNC in, my US keyboard works OK after editing /etc/default/keyboard and doing the dpkg reconfig (plus reboot).  However, when I ssh in via PuTTY the arrow keys aren't working - I'm getting sequences ^[[A ^[[B ^[[C and ^[[D for up, down, right, and left...

If you are in Canada, Staples has 8 GB Class 4 Kodak brand cards on for $6.95 each. I bought two to experiment with different distros. They work great.

<t><br/> ISTM that we"re probably going to see a more or less permanent split between the Debian image as the "hackers and developers" image and the Fedora one as the end-user targeted one.<br/> <br/> <br/> I"d say it would probably be a ArchLinux, Debian, Fedora split (hacker, hobbyist & beginn...

<r>I made a small photo-tutorial that walks through setting each of those options correctly.

I tried the Fedora 14 image and it is setup that way. More polish. The Fedora 17 image, when it comes out, will probably be the one to get.

<t>jojopi said: <br/> <br/> <br/> There is nothing wrong with the TERM setting.  The issue is that /home/pi in the distributed image starts out completely empty, without the usual dot files.<br/> <br/> To fix it run the following command as user pi, and then log back in.cp -a /etc/skel/.??* ~/<br/> ...

Prolly manage it by typing:

export TERM=ansi

Thanks for the answer but it didn't work.

<t>I'd like to have the non-GUI terminal show colors for directories, prompts and the like. How do I go about changing from the default Linux term to something like xterm-color?<br/> <br/> Bill<br/> <br/> BTW...before I get the usual RTFM replies, I've tried looking on the net, using the package man...

<t>jojopi said: <br/> <br/> <br/> I am not finding that; /etc/default/keyboard affects both.<br/> <br/> <br/> It seems that once the change is made in the /etc/default/keyboard file and you reboot, the GUI picks it up as well.<br/> <br/> Yes, you have to reboot. No biggie. I think the keyboard file ...

Thanks Bill. Worth adding that to the Wiki if you have time.


Done.

<t><br/> P.S.  You also need to fix the timezone.  For that, I used "tzconfig" (I think that was it – it is either that or "tzset" – one of them works, the other gives an error message saying not to use that one anymore)<br/> <br/> <br/> Thanks for that. The actual command is:<br/> <br/> <br/> sudo ...

For the console I think you can change the keyboard mapping with dpkg-reconfigure console-data.


I tried that on a fresh install of Debian and I got an error saying that the console-data package was not installed and that no info was available.

<t>When I first started up my Debian powered RPi, I noticed that some of the keys on my US 105 USB keyboard were not mapped correctly. For example, I tried typing '\' and got '#' instead.<br/> <br/> To edit the mapping, you have to change it in the /etc/default/keyboard config file.Use sudo to obtai...
