Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH installer] set console keymap on language selection
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2020 16:54:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200720145429.18260-1-s.ivanov@proxmox.com> (raw)
This is an enhancement for #2804
Having a shell waiting on vt3, it improves user experience if it has the
same keyboard map as the X11 installer.
This is accomplished by setting the contents of '/etc/default/keyboard' see
keyboard (5) and then running setupcon (1). Simply calling `loadkeys` would not
work, since the keymaps in debian are generated from the x11 definitions by
ckbcomp and then saved in '/etc/console-setup/'.

roughly tested with a PBS-iso (can provide should someone else want to test it)
in a VM (clicking on french yielded azerty, clicking on german qwertz,...) both
worked. (just in case also tried getting rid of the setxkbmap call - setupcon
does not magically set the keyboard map of a running X session)
