How do I change keyboard in Xfce desktop? History/what I did:
Chosen keyboard (in setup during installation process) disappeared/changed into a keyboard without keys: " @ $ € " Maybe it happened because I chose " i686 pae " (or similar name) under "advanced" (option 2) in start-up of the machine. Of course I can try reboot in default But I want try this "i686 pae", & also to see if a keyboard list is somewhere in Xfce or via a program in Synaptic or Terminal. Because I do need sometimes to switch to a Greek keyboard. Sorry for my bad English.
