I've downloaded a debian vm image for some testing: http://exploit-exercises.com/download (280mb)
It's a Debian Squeeze machine. I want to use the Belgian layout (which is AZERTY) in stead of the default QWERTY. There is no X server installed.
What I've tried (everything as root)
-
setxkbmap be
-> 'command not found' -
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
-> runs fine, but keyboard stays in QWERTY after selecting Belgium keyboard -
dpkg-reconfigure console-data
-> "'console-data' is not installed and no info is available" -
apt-get install console-data
-> package 'console-data' has no installation candidate. I also ranapt-get update
and my apt list contains the debian urls. -
edit
/etc/default/keyboard
manually. I then read I should restart/etc/init.d/hal
, but that service doesn't exist -
some other things I can't remember
-
locale-gen fr_FR
-> It says "Generating locales", but only shows en_US.UTF-8. No fr_FR to be found. -
dpkg-reconfigure locales
The first list has all the locales where I select fr_Fr. The second screen (default locale) only gives en_US as option.
What else can I try?

I got it working by doing this:
console-data appears to run automatically, so select "choose from full list" -> AZERTY
