Hello
I am installing KDE neon and am stumbling about the settings of the Language. Up to now with my Kubuntu 14,04 there was no problem.

Situation: I have German Swiss keyboard, witch is different to the German and Austrian ones. At presenrt I can only install a German version for the Keyboard, at the usual spaces I could use with Kubuntu are no mentioning of the several Swiss versions generally avaiable.

Before I go further with the installation, I have to find the solution for this malfunction, as this is one of the basic problems if it can not be resolved.

For a start, You could try:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data

Afterwards, reboot.

If not solved now, then use/check Plasma's
Configuration-Dialogue Windows

Good Luck.

Quick response, Thanks.

The answer is:

Code: Select all

dpkg-query: package 'console-data' is not installed and no information is available

The following text is nothing I can use, as I don't really understand it.

Code: Select all

Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: console-data is not installed

Where can I find

/check Plasma's
Configuration-Dialogue Windows

1/2:
Plasma Desktop
System Settings
Hardware: Input Devices
Keyboard: Layouts
Click check mark; Configure Layouts
Check Layout Table below for Swiss or CH
Click ADD
Use Menu: Limit selection by language
Select: German, Swiss

Confirm

Logoff and re-logon.

2/2:
console-data and console-common
should be installed. Maybe they are not by default.
On Debian-based GNU-Linuxes it's standard, as far
as I can tell from experience during the last
decades.

But I admit:
$ apt show console-common 2>/dev/null | grep Priority
Priority: optional

$ apt show console-data 2>/dev/null | grep Priority
Priority: optional

Only "optional".

Good Luck, again.

Thanks a lot for your response. I will now try to follow your suggestions.

Until then, please have a nice end of Year and a very good one for 2019.

This was a short one. After I installed console-data and console-common and restarted the computer, the miracle happened and my texts are now in German.

Thanks again.
