Some keyboard character keys in wrong place after upgrade to 2.6 - how to fix?
#1
Following updating to LL2.6, in my UEFI win8.1/LL2.4 dual-boot, the @ and " keys are reversed, and other keyboard characters are not where they should be, though the letter & numeral  keys seem to work fine as before.  I've checked the  Language settings (i.e. English, UK) and Keyboard settings (i.e. set to Asus Laptop), but these seem to be as before.  I'm perplexed...

Any help on this one is much appreciated...

Regards
Mike

2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work

Hi,

Sounds like something is set to English US.

The Language Support and Location should look like the following:-

I know you believe you understand what you think I said. But I'm not sure you realise that what you heard is not what I meant.
