Subject: [DNG] Brand new install. Keymap not saved.
Hello,
(Sorry to give you guys two problems at once!)

I just installed Devuan Daedalus. The installer did not offer a Dvorak
keyboard layout, so I set it up to use Dvorak afterwards using "sudo
dpkg-reconfigure console-common" .
That works, but I have to run it each time I boot and it doesn't change
the login keymap if I use a console to run it before logging in.

I tried following the logic used to set up the keymap from
/ete/init.d/keyboard-setup.sh , but it just refers to a cached keymap
under /etc/console-setup/. I'm really not sure what to replace it with
such that I'll get a working keymap.

For the moment, I just replaced it with my current setup's keymap, which
is ISO-8859 whereas the new system is using UTF-8. This only works for
the ttys other than tty1. tty1 and xorg still use the old querty keymap.

Is there some way to permanently change the keymap?

Thanks!
