    Hi,

    the default keyboard layout in console is english QWERTY, but my native keyboard layout is hungarian QWERTZ.
    How can i set it to be the default keyboard layout in console?

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

    I've already tried it, but it didn't help. Keyboard layout in console is still english.

    This is not checked by me, so I'm not sure if this will work for you:

    sudo apt-get install console-common
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data
    and maybe more infos to study for you: https://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard
    there you have search field, so you can search more about that matter

    These didn't work either. The console keyboard layout is still the same (even after two reboots). I remember of doing this somewhat earlier, but i had to reinstall Deepin (half of the apps didn't start, apt-get & dpkg didn't work) and now it's not working.
    Anyway thanks for trying to help.

    What do you have selected in the system settings? There is Hungarian (Qwerty), or I do not understand what you mean...

    sudo apt-get install console-data
    sudo apt-get install console-setup
    sudo  apt-get install locales
    sudo  apt-get install keyboard-configuration

    than do dpkg-reconfigure for each of these
    and set your settings.

    example: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data

    On GUI, my keyboard layout is the selected Hungarian QWERTZ, but on non-GUI (console) this layout is english QWERTY. And because I'm Hungarian and my computer's keyboard is Hungarian too, I would like to use Hungarian keyboard layout in console as well as in GUI.

    How many keyboard layouts in your system? If only Hungarian, try to add English. Further, when using the console you just switch on the Hungarian layout...

    I have slovenian layout in the console (ctrl+alt+f1..f6), and I did this:


    sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

    UTF-8
    Latin2
    Fixed
    8x16

    Try to use different font, after every change reboot your system.

    Another old but clean solution is to add to the ~/.bashrc file ('~' is your home directory) the following lines:

    #keyboard layout
    setxkbmap hu

    Save and exit. That's all. I am not sure if "hu" is the default value for hungarian layout: just check out to find it.

    If your topic is solved, maybe is ok to add [solved] at beginning of the topic so others will know about that.
