ProxMox - Keyboard Configs

• To reconfigure the keyboard in ProxMox, we have 2 points to change

1. In the Web interface

In Datacenter → Options → Keyboard Layout

1. In the Console

• The console does not use the same configuration as the Web, other procedures are needed.

• The current settings are kept in the keyboard file at

cat /etc/default/keyboard

• Example of US config

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT="alt-intl"
XKBOPTIONS=""

BACKSPACE="guess"

• Example of PT-BR config

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="br"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""

BACKSPACE="guess"

• To reconfigure, you can change the file directly or use the support application (recommended)

dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
