I guess we who live outside the US should take into account that PCs are initialised by firmware to the US keyboard layout and the 437 code page, courtesy of IBM, 1981. I'm not sure if the creators of (U)EFI has considered other keyboard layouts and/or code pages at boot time. A bad workaround is to copy the suitable keymap from /usr/share... to /etc, along with /usr/sbin/kbdcontrol, and add a suitable line to one or either of /etc/rc.d/geli{,2}, e.g.: /etc/kbdcontrol -l /etc/german.iso.kbd kbdcontrol is linked only to libc: $ ldd `which kbdcontrol` /usr/sbin/kbdcontrol: libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800827000) -- +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Vennlig hilsen, | Best regards, | | Trond Endrestøl, | Trond Endrestøl, | | IT-ansvarlig, | System administrator, | | Fagskolen Innlandet, | Gjøvik Technical College, Norway, | | tlf. mob. 952 62 567, | Cellular...: +47 952 62 567, | | sentralbord 61 14 54 00. | Switchboard: +47 61 14 54 00. | +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+Received on Wed Dec 16 2015 - 13:57:02 UTC
