Hello,

I sent an installation report using reportbug, however I was not
reporting an "bug" from the installation process.

the installation was carried out on a Dell 5520 latitude laptop.

After booting up, the keyboard mapping is incorrect. Pressing the back
slash key, the hash symbol is echoed back, whereas Shift-3 echoes the
symbol for the British pound sterling. Worse, not a single key echoes
the pipe character.

I ran dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration and in the drop-down list "latitude" occurred. So I replaced "pc105" with "latitude", re-booted
but nothing changed.

I have spent days searching around for a solution and found nothing
relevant.

I sent an e-mail to debian-users asking for help but to date no
replies.

Does anybody know which keyboard configuration is used on a Dell 5520
latitude laptop???

I'm extremely frustrated about all this. I need to replace my 14 year
old Compaq laptop and believed a Dell would be a good replacement.

I've been using Debian testing for 20+ years.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Robert

Do you have the bug number ?

This looks like a UK keymap used on a US keyboard layout.
