How to configure keyboard on Crunchbang

March 02, 2016 — Erico Porto

So this blog is written from my Old EEEPC 701 with 4G SSD. I used to run a exotic Gentoo until I've been away from it for 4 months and forget how to use it. So I've tried some distros and all and really like Crunchbang!

But it ended, so now I'm using whatever I can use until everything require or too much maintenance or too much everything. I like this netbook, it was donated to me and I like to keep using it.

Enough, let's get to the keyboard part. Basically you need to edit the keyboard file:

sudo nano /etc/default/keyboard

And if your keyboard is us intl, modify the file like this:

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT="intl"
XKBOPTIONS=""

BACKSPACE="guess"

Then restart and everything should work! This assumes you have the package keyboard-configuration installed.
