Keyboard mapping help some keys type wrong characters

I would say I agree. After doing the re-install, then trying configuration again, nothing happens.

Parrot OS 6.12.y for the uConsole and DevTerm

could you flash a spare sd card and try on that?

Hello. I had the same issue and was able to correct it using these steps and the build from Sept 11th. Forgive the AI copypasta.

First I updated the system locale:

1. Edit /etc/locale.gen:

  • Open the /etc/locale.gen file with a text editor as root:

Code

    sudo nano /etc/locale.gen

  • Uncomment the line corresponding to the desired locale (e.g., en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 or en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8) by removing the # symbol at the beginning of the line.

  • Save the file and exit the editor.

2. Generate the locale:

  • Run the locale-gen command to generate the selected locale:

Code

    sudo locale-gen

Alternatively, you can specify the locale directly:

Code

    sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

or

Code

    sudo locale-gen en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8

3. Set the system locale:

Edit the /etc/default/locale file.

Code

    sudo nano /etc/default/locale
  • Ensure the file contains the following lines, replacing en_US.UTF-8 with your chosen locale:

Code

    LANG=en_US.UTF-8
    LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
    LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8

Save the file and exit.

4. Reboot the system:

  • Reboot your Raspberry Pi for the changes to take effect:

Code

    sudo reboot

Then I updated the keyboard layout (THIS DID NOT WORK ON THE PREVIOUS PARROT IMAGE)

  1. Open a terminal.

  2. Run the following command with sudo privileges to start the configuration utility:

    sh

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

    Use code with caution.

  3. I had to choose OTHER > US > US Default > And no special key assignments.

  4. A dialog-based interface will appear. Follow the on-screen prompts to select your keyboard model, country of origin, and desired layout.

  5. Once you have made your selections, you may need to reboot your system for the changes to take effect.
