I would like to add a "me too". I'm using a Mac UK keyboard. I apt-get install console-data console-common, then install-keymap the correct keyboard layout. My tilde and grave then work as expected, whereas I got a > and < before. However, like OP says, the keymap doesn't survive a reboot.
My X11 keymap is wrong, too - but that's the subject of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/120420 -- no way to install a custom keymap https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122680 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
