change console keyboard layout

hi

If I switch using CTRL-ALT-F1 to the console, then I have other keyboard layout than under Gnome Desktop.
Howto change console keyboard layout?

Try switching to the console, and then installing the console-common package, if it's not already installed:

sudo apt-get install console-common

It will prompt you to change your keyboard layout. To make changes after that, you can type:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data

Thy a lot, now it works well!

Thanks

Is there a way to make the changes permanent? I use the server edition and after a reboot I am back with the default keymap.

Try to change in /etc/default/keyboard and change as well at the Gnome Login Mask, if you mark an user name, go down and change the keyboard, before login into the Gnome desktop.
