Add necessary packages for keyboard and locale setup #15

Closed michaelkaeppler closed 4 years ago

michaelkaeppler commented 4 years ago

The package 'locales' is needed to provide a different locale setup than the default English one. 'keyboard-configuration' allows to setup the keyboard layout conveniently through a console tool. Setting within the GUI, as mentioned in the CG, did not work (I had to remove the English keyboard layout completely, and even then it won't work e.g. for the login screen) I will update the CG to describe the usage.

Yes, now I remember it was tricky to set it up using the GUI. I guess the problem is choosing the right layout. Probably the interactive configuration is better.

The GUI method should be this:

but I must admit I cannot find the right layout.

I tried the GUI method but it did only work if I removed the old language completely. Just moving it up did not work. And even then it won't work for the login screen or if you would like to work on the console (without X server)

The GUI method should be this:

  • menu Applications>Settings>Keyboard
  • click on Layout tab
  • uncheck "Use system defaults"
  • click on Add to add your layout
  • move the new language up by clicking on the Up arrow

but I must admit I cannot find the right layout.
