I have Chromebook Acer C7 and i like it. It's fast etc. To install *buntu linux on it i did use Crouton. It's a program who install *buntu on ChromeOS without erace the orginal system.

Anyway! I have problem with the keyboard layout. I have Swedish keyboard but the keyboard layout in the system is US keyboard.

I can install Swedish keyboard layout by using this command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

After that, i have Swedish keyboard layout. But after i reboot i falling back the the US keyboard layout.

This is an old post but here is the solution I use on 16.04 (Xenial)

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

Then run:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Login with root su
  3. Enter password of root
  4. Update and Upgrade all with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

  5. Type the following:

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

  6. Reboot and recheck.

  7. Enjoy ;)

  • One should not interactively log into the root account, which is disabled on Ubuntu by default, so su will not work anyway. Use sudo for every command you would have ran as root instead! Besides that, being logged in as root and using sudo at the same time makes no sense. – Byte Commander Oct 05 '15 at 07:57
