What's the exact command that you are running, i.e., are you passing any other argument to `localectl set-x11-keymap`. I am assuming you are trying to set it to Norwegian?

Also, what keyboard are you using?

Re: localectl set-x11-keymap

Greetings,

I had similar problem just now after fresh installation. You need libxkbcommon (and libxkbcommon-x11, possibly?) installed. Most desktop environment and window manager install it as dependencies, but OpenBox, for example, doesn't have it.
