Re: Keyboard layout for both X and console

[Laurent Léonard <laurent@open-minds.org>]

Hi,

Thank you for your script, but I got some errors when I tried to use it...

P: Begin executing local hooks...
/root/keyboard.sh: line 6:  : command not found
/root/keyboard.sh: line 7:  : command not found
/root/keyboard.sh: line 9:  : command not found
/root/keyboard.sh: line 11:  : command not found

Any idea ? It seems to be a problem with $PATH...
