Boot into raspi-config

Sat Dec 07, 2013 5:47 pm

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 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.
