Niloc Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I installed Ubuntu and although it is hard work, I am gradually getting the hang of it. My main problem is that the keyboard is not what I am used to, it has for instance the british pound sign at SH-3 and I simply cannot find the ordinary backslash (\), I get a # instead! I assume I have made a selection during installation which has given me this but how can I change back to an ordinary keyboard where the keys all print what they are labelled? I am using a IBM Thinkpad T21 and Ubuntu 5.10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulaphat Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Colin, From the menu, select System Configuration>Regional and Accessibility>Keyboard Layout. There should be a large selection of keyboards by language/country. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niloc Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Well I went there and got everything as I want except for the tilde key which gives me a ` both unshifted and shifted and the \ key give me a # for some reason. I can live with it though... Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
