[SOLVED]Change layout

setxkbmap -query
rules:      evdev
model:      pc104
layout:     us

I want my layout to be norwegian. How do I do that. Ive tried in plasma and changed to norwegian and evrything except the layout is norwegian.

Re: [SOLVED]Change layout

On Plasma, double-check everything is conformant to you desired Regional Settings.

Find out your layout:

localectl list-x11-keymap-layouts

Then set it via localect method.

Re: [SOLVED]Change layout

xkb_NO is not a layout.  There are even examples in that wiki page.  READ it.  And engage a few brain cells before expecting to be spoon fed.

Re: [SOLVED]Change layout

WIKI goes on with examples (helping us - users - to better understand command syntax), so please bear in mind not to blindly copy commands verbatim!
Localectl will suffice your needs:

# localectl --no-convert set-x11-keymap INSERT_HERE_YOUR_DESIRED_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT

(Hope somebody helped you during Arch installation...)

Note: xorg.conf is parsed by the X server at start-up. To apply changes, restart X.
