Cannot change keyboard layout

Posted on October 24, 2016

I tried to set keyboard layout in the digitalocean webconsole to german. I used sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration.

Now I have a weird keyboard layout, definitely not german. And there is no ‘-’ (dash) anymore!

How can I reset keyboard layout?
