8.10 - Keys not displaying correctly
 

Hi,

I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 and I am finding that some of the special character keys are not working correctly. For example when I press the "@" key, I get " instead.

Its a Microsoft keyboard, and I have used it on plenty of Linux distributions in the past and have not had a problem with it. I tried using the microsoft and generic key layouts, but the problem still exists.


Does anyone have any ideas?

sounds like you have the wrong locale
US keyboards swapped with UK keyboards have the symptoms you are describing

Thanks for your help.


To test your theory, I booted from the CD and everything looked normal. I then made note of the keyboard layouw... 105 key intl USA format. Rebooted to the installed version, changed the settings, rebooted again and everything was fine :)


Thanks for the tip.
