I copied the above km-0809.ini file as /etc/xrdp/km-00000809.ini (after renaming the original just in case)<br />2. Edited xrdp_keyboard.ini (sudo nano xrdp_keyboard.ini) and added these two lines...<br /> Under [default_rdp_layouts] add<br /> rdp_layout_gb=0x00000809<br /> Then under [default_layouts_map] add<br /> rdp_layout_gb=gb<br />3. Save the file.<br />4. Restart the xrdp service...<br /> sudo service xrdp restart<br />And finally I got # @ £ etc all in the right place!<br />Initially I wasn't sure whether the keyboard layout should be ...uk or ...gb so I put both in - bad move. It only started to work when I took out the ...uk lines. I'll get used to this linux stuff one day!<br />Meanwhile thanks to everyone who's contributed to this thread.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03941992022366572113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230301070698688037.post-53920769473655422852018-05-19T21:33:57.503+01:002018-05-19T21:33:57.503+01:00"Unknown" I think something has changed ..."Unknown" I think something has changed with the introduction of the new .ini files which now have four zeros in front of the old number. I have a 0809 file that worked on my previous RasPi's but it does not work on the May 2018 release even if I rename it with an additional 4 zeros in the file name. Can't find any help on the web about the changes made with the new filenames.JohnMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00160598529467513189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230301070698688037.post-69161722280269965462018-03-22T09:32:10.546+00:002018-03-22T09:32:10.546+00:00It's the fix that keeps on giving!

It doesn't seem to change no matter what I do. Tried this tutorial, tried with 00000409.ini (US) nothing changes... Is it possible to do a step by step including checking which keyboard is installed etc.. this kinda drives me nuts. :/Treborovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16245235161904086349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230301070698688037.post-67636333870937335652017-03-24T12:42:14.696+00:002017-03-24T12:42:14.696+00:00km-0809.ini recovered and download link fixed.

He has a rar file containing various km-XXXX.ini files including 0809. Maybe the one in that rar is a copy of my original file, certainly would be worth a try. <br /><br />If you happen to find that it is correct, please let me know and I will re-host it.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491608669387457602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230301070698688037.post-81738346765025290342017-03-24T10:27:59.386+00:002017-03-24T10:27:59.386+00:00Hi Robin,

Unfortunately the download link to the km-0809.ini file, which points to https://sites.google.com/site/componentpart0/km-0809.ini?attredirects=0&d=1 no longer works - I get the message "Site not found".

Even for raspbian, one should think in terms of "admin" functions and "user" functions. I would suggest applying "sudo" to whichever command is being used to save the .ini file in the xrdp folder, rather than changing permissions.
