I had this problem too but it switched XKBLAYOUT="us" to XKBLAYOUT="af"
so I inserted a live cd mounted the original partition(in my case hda1) then i sudo gedited the /etc/default/console-setup file on hda1 This is what it read: Quote: # The following variables describe your keyboard and can have the same # values as the XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbVariant and XkbOptions options # in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="af" XKBVARIANT="" XKBOPTIONS="" Then I changed XKBLAYOUT="af" to XKBLAYOUT="us" which fixed the problem. -- Keyboard layout not set correctly for console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/248827 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
