I have problem with characters in my keyboard, they switched their's places. Not all of them, only those specific to english and to croatian language (my native tongue).
If I got the right shell input, the output is:
Code:
sokre@sokre-HP-Compaq-dc7800-Small-Form-Factor ~ $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
[sudo] password for sokre:

Been scrolling through related forum threads for some 'simpleton-cluess', this commands looked promising for solving locale en_US.utf8 missing:
Code:
sokre@sokre-HP-Compaq-dc7800-Small-Form-Factor ~ $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

One of theese threads suggested opening test account under Menu > Administration > User & Groups and setting the keyboard layout from there, so I did that. Same character behavior as in main account remained here, regardless of specific given layout I choose (my language has four offered layouts).
Later on, my younger brother took the keyboard and plugged it into his computer running on win xp to see how the characters will behave in there – I guessed no harm in that. Strange thing is that every character seemed to be in his place on the keyboard back then.
So, what's the next step in fixing this one boss?
