@ key not working (solved)

Sat Mar 23, 2013 5:10 pm

I just got my RPi for my birthday (understanding and awesome wife :) ), and Raspbian Wheezy up and running great. My only issue is the "@" key on my keyboard is returning a double quote ("). Here's the keyboard I picked up: IOGear GKM681R (http://www.iogear.com/product/GKM681R/)

Thanks!

Code: Select all

sudo raspi-config

Having followed your "keyboard link", it looks as if it's one with a "US English" layout. By default, raspbian wheezy expects a "UK English" layout. There are other keys with symbols in different places too. Just "sudo raspi-config" and go through the keyboard set-up option menus, re-boot (sudo shutdown - r now) and all should be fine. I use a couple of "US English" mini-keyboards with no problems.

(Further info. w.r.t. raspi-config, slightly dated, can be found on the wiki at http://elinux.org/RPi_raspi-config)

Still running Raspbian Jessie or Stretch on some older Pi's (an A, B1, 2xB2, B+, P2B, 3xP0, P0W, 2xP3A+, P3B+, P3B, B+, and a A+) but Buster on the P4B's. See: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm
