Hi Folks,
i have installed OpenWrt on my Raspberry yesterday. I tried to set the system to German. It works in the web interface and the ssh terminal have also German settings. If i log in over the command line i have only English keyboard layout. I can't find tools like loadkeys. can somebody tell me how i can change the keyboard layout to German?
I say thanks for you support already.

The console does not support any locale other than English. It's designed to be used in emergency situations only, and use a SSH connection for everything else.

Hi, Eduardo,
thanks for the information. The work on SSH is nicer anyway. You can sit comfortably at your desk.
Many thanks and many greetings.

One option that took a bit of effort, but worked for me:
- compile a custom openwrt image with CONFIG_BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOADKMAP set to "y"
- on a pc with a working desired keyboard layout, dump it using
busybox dumpkmap > yourkeymapfile.kmap
command - copy dumped keymap to your openwrt and load it using
busybox loadkmap < yourkeymapfile.kmap
command
