Hi,
can someone help how to configure the DE (German) locale? I got the impression that the locale files are missing? If yes, can someone can point me where to find these and where to put them?

Re: How to install DE locale for virtual terminal
For those who are interested i have a temporary workaround which i can live with.
I saved a script in the scripts folder which executes "loadkeys de", which i start whenever i want to use the linux console.

You could just add the load keys command to "/root/.bash_profile" and it will automatically execute when you login. For this to work, edit '/etc/passwd' such that the root user uses bash:jayp76 wrote:I saved a script in the scripts folder which executes "loadkeys de", which i start whenever i want to use the linux console.
Code: Select all
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash

Good to know the options. But altering it every time the linux partition is updated is in my opinion not a good workaround. I am also not completely sure if it has a negative impact to some cores if the keyboard layout is changed for e.g. C64. At first look it is not, but i don't know about JiffyDos Shortcuts and such.
Re: How to install DE locale for virtual terminal
No, definitely not ideal on the linux updates but I'm only changing a few files (SSH authorised keys, a few bash aliases etc.) so I'm OK with having a script that restores these files after a linux update.
Regarding the actual keyboard layout, for my keyboard I just manually created a map file that is used by all the cores. For me I created it manually because it was only a few keys on a specific keyboard. That's not really the same as what you want to do however. Also, the one place that it isn't implemented is within the linux frame buffer shell so actually I could do with a loadkeys setup instead.
