Hi. I'v found a previus posting which tell me to add

locale=da_DK.UTF-8 keyb=da

as a boot option. The locale option seems to have some effect, but the
keyboard is still uk/us.. something.

Any ideas how to correct this?

Could you try http://build.webconverger.org/webconverger.2010-10-04.iso

with the new keyboard options described on
http://webconverger.org/live-config.txt

Hopefully the new boot syntax should be something like

locales=da_DK.UTF-8
keyboard-layouts=da

Sorry I don't have time to test this tonight.

I appended "locales=de keyboard-layouts=de" of which keyboard layout
I'm familiar with, and it seems to work.

At some point soon I need to update http://webconverger.org/i18n/


This is a bit of a turbulent time behind the scenes since I'm
concentrating on releasing a new Webconverger based on squeeze with a
new live-config which unfortunately has had a bunch of name changes to
various items.

Incidentally the very latest http://build.webconverger.org/ has had
splashy removed. I think it boots quite fast. You won't believe the
pain I've had to go through in order to hide Linux boot messages. And
I've long argued that customers should never see Webconverger boot. ;)

Kind regards,

Slott

Sure

I'v testet the new iso and have no keyboard at all when I try to
select da. During boot I managed to spot the line:
Getting preliminary keymap.../usr/bin/cckbcomp: Can not find file
"symbols/da" in an known directory.

Just to answer my own quistion: boot options should be

locales=da_DK.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=dk

Klaus
