[indiana-discuss] Keyboard mapping with different language

[Javier Acosta]

hi Jasse,

well, it seems to me like a bug.


Anyway, I believe that there is an easier workaround than letting
your computer run 24/7:

you can add the following line at the end of the file: "/etc/default/init"

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
