change keyboard language on motioneyeos

[githlp]

Preliminary Docs

confirm/confirm

running motionEyeOS version: 20200606 on Raspberry PI4

Is there a possibility to change the keyboard layout on the login shell ?

I found this within the closed issues https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/issues/1668

but i think the answer is invalid, not the question.

Motioneyeos IS the only OS on that Raspi4 and i cannot change the keyboard language layout on my Raspi4 Hardware with a jumper or something.

The question is what config file must be changed to change the keyboard layout since typical tools as raspi-config are not available and the insertion of a keyboard config file like /etc/default/keyboard does not change anything..

Does your prefered keyboard layout work when you SSH in?

[githlp]

with ssh the remote [shell|keyboard] config is applied, of course.

The question was about changing the keymap for the local login shell on the BuildRoot environment of latest MotionEyeOS.

But maybe the change of keyboard layout is not applicable anymore after building, just wondering..

Thanks!

I realize that. Before I tag it, though, I wanted to see if there is a viable work-around. Have you turned on Debug Mode (to enable the filesystem to be read/write, instead of read only, make your change, then turn off Debug Mode? motionEyeOS was built as a minimalist, headless system, and motionEye is for sitting on top of a full OS.

well i remounted root rw, otherwise i would not have been able to place a keyboard file in the new default folder but that file is not recognized, so i was wondering where language or layout values are set.

It appears to be a ThingOS limitation. Several other packages using it seem to have the same issue, even placing the 'right' files where they belong.
