Unable to set keyboard layout to be (azerty)

Sat May 07, 2016 6:17 pm

Hello,

Whatever I try I cannot make the keyboard layout on my Raspbian to belgium komma layout (azerty).
I set this in /etc/default/keyboard and reboot, but it didn't help. I would need t do this an automatable way, so using raspi-config is not an option. Which other configuration file do I need to edit to set my keyboard to azerty?

Code: Select all

cat /etc/default/keyboard
# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="be"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""

BACKSPACE="guess"

Try localectl, e.g.

Code: Select all

localectl set-keymap us
worked fine for me.

Tried using localectl and set to 'be', 'nl-be' and 'azerty', but my console keyboard is still in QWERTY..

The weird thing is that:

Code: Select all

localectl list-keymap
Couldn't find any console keymaps
