OPSI .vmdk for non German speaking users
Verfasst: 13 Feb 2014, 14:15
Hello,
Today I needed a temporary OPSI server for testing so I have downloaded a version of the opsi-depotserver as a VMWare machine and noticed some difficulties for users who do not speak German..
During the first boot I have chosen „en“, nevertheless 'locale' showed:
LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
and xkbmap was "de".
Quick fix for others:
$ setxkbmap us
$ yourfavoriteeditor /etc/default/keyboard
change from:
XKBLAYOUT="de"
to
XKBLAYOUT="us"
$ yourfavoriteeditor ~/.pam_environment
change to:
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
As far as I understand, a new version is coming soon so maybe this notice will be helpful..
Good luck
