In January I wrote myself a reminder blog entry for configuring keyboard to German.
Doing the same thing again today on the latest Raspbian image (2016-05-27-raspbian-jessie.img) after a sudo apt-get update
, sudo apt-get upgrade
and sudo reboot
gives
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
The tool does not start after that output. Those warnings is all I get.
I am doing this via ssh
, not from a local terminal.
My version is

Is keyboard configuration broken?
I have tried:
- Doing the same on Pi 1B before updating and upgrading results in the same issue.
- Configuring the keyboard with
sudo raspi-config
, then choosing 5) Internationalisation Options and I3) Change Keyboard Layout. This seems to start above program, at least I see warnings for a short time, thenraspi-config
restarts at the main menu. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
gave 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. After that, the situation is still the samepi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists...

I can edit the file
/etc/default/keyboard
but the main reason I wanted to run the keyboard configuration utility is to find out what exactly I have to put there. My final goal is to white a shell script that automatically does this for me.I have cross-checked my download. The checksum is fine:
