Changing keyboard layout

Posted on July 16, 2013

Hi, I’m currently running a VPS using Ubuntu. I’m trying to configure the console so I can type using an Azerty keyboard layout, however when changing the /etc/default/keyboard my VPS keeps using Querty, even after a reboot.

My /etc/default/keyboard file: http://www.upl.co/uploads/screen-64.png

Any thoughts?

Thank your for the help! <br> <br>Seems like the problem only persisted on the webconsole, when I used the console on my local machine to SSH my server, Azerty worked fine.

Awesome, glad to hear it worked :]

Try running “sudo loadkeys fr” in the console - does that work?
