During installation my keyboard layout defaulted to Canadian English. I tested the layout in the provided text box and the layout worked properly.
Post-installation, my system keyboard layout is set to Canadian French, and I’m not sure how to change it back to English system-wide. I know I can do so within Xfce’s Keyboard Settings tool, but this does not affect the login screen.
EDIT with solution:
Run localectl
to get your current system layouts. You’ll get an output similar to this:
System Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8
VC Keymap: us
X11 Layout: us
To change your VC Keymap, run sudo localectl set-keymap us
replacing ‘us’ with your desired keymap. For a list of possible keymaps, run localectl list-keymaps
.
To change your X11 Keymap (and this was the issue in my case) run sudo localectl set-x11-keymap us
replacing ‘us’ with your desired keymap. For a list of possible x11 keymaps, run localectl list-x11-keymap-layouts
.
