Change Keyboard Layout on Server Permanently

[Badmaster]

Hi all

whenever I reboot my server they keyboard layout is reset to US layout.

I tried editing /etc/default/keyboard but to no avail...

dpkg-reconfigure console-data will correct the layout, but only until I restart.

This is on Ubuntu Server 11.04 with home dirs encrypted.

already tried this:

thanks in advance

Try dpkg-reconfigure console-setup.

Try dpkg-reconfigure console-setup.

already tried... same thing...

actually I just solved it, thanks to your comment.

I had put an invalid string in /etc/default/keyboard
dpkg-reconfigure console-setup creates a new initramfs and there it notified me that it couldn't find the defined symbolds from /etc/default/keyboard

so I looked at the dir /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ and there I saw the correct layout.
then ran dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
and it works now

I am having the same problem with Ubuntu Server.

But I'm a bit of a noob.

Could you please explain your solution in some more basic steps?

Many thanks
