Raspberry Pi Forums

I evidently choose the wrong keyboard when I initialized my pi. Now I can't log in (I get gibberish when I type). How can I get back to the raspi-config screen to set things right??

What country are you in?
What's your keyboard layout?

if you can manage sudo raspi-config your ok otherwise re flash sd card

If you accidentally chose one of the Dvorak keyboards then you could use the link below as a guide for typing so you can get the keyboard config back to normal. This is an easy mistake to make in raspi-config. I think the non standard key layouts should be put in a separate menu.

Thanks for your responses. I was able to run raspi-config from a remote ssh session and get things straightened out. I agree there should be some kind of warning issued about selecting a Dvorak keyboard. I had no idea what that was but it was the only option for the Keytronics keyboard I thought applied.
