Hi there, I wonder if this is your keyboard locale settings?
If you try " do you get an @ instead?

Run this command

Code: Select all

sudo raspi-config

Locate the option to change your locale settings and choose the country you're in, that should fix it.

It's amazing how many responders (myself included) don't always read the question properly.

to the OP
can you ssh in ?
does dnesg say anything
and are you using a powered USB hub ?
try the keyboard in another socket

[javacoffe]

can´t use ssh can´t use dmesg beacuse i can´t use letterkeys i have power USB ports (because i have an LED backlit keyboard and i tested both USB ports nothing works i even tested an other keyboard.

[RaTTuS]

if you have another computer then you can use that to ssh in if you have got it on the network....

[javacoffe]

even Windows?? i tought that only worked on Unix based operating systems.

download putty see

and you can ssh to your hearts desire

I've been using putty since that webpage looked cool and fresh

You just pull out power ?
Don't shutdown RPi proper? (shutdown -h now commando or other way).
Sudden power off can corrupt blocks on SD card, on most cases, need to reimage.
Write OS image again, and see if works.

Before, that you see on screen?
A normal boot process and a login prompt at end?

i think that is the problem i did pull out the plugg im not directly a linux pro so i did not know how to turn it off thanks for the tip btw

[javacoffe]

thx the rewrite worked

With reference to turning the pi off, I have found that my best way to turn it off is with my galaxy note or smart phone, download RasPi check, it checks the temp all associated installs and you can reboot or power down, I find it brilliant.

thx the rewrite worked

To confirm was the fix a rewrite of the SD card, or a rewrite of the raspi-config settings?
