Assuming the other laptop is running linux, compare the keyboard
configuration which is in /etc/default/keyboard on Debian.
You might need to add a variant to the XKBVARIANT="" line.
The possibilites are shown in the /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst
file.
I'm not sure what you're selecting with the type "en". If "en" is
intended to stand for english, there's no layout by that name.
There's "us", "gb" and one or two others that don't look connected
with Brazil (eg Cameroon).

Populate /etc/default/keyboard in the order given (your choice of
layout constrains the variant). Here are a couple of mine:
#XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBMODEL="latitude"
XKBLAYOUT="gb"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="caps:none,compose:menu,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
BACKSPACE="guess"
#XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBMODEL="microsoftinet"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch,caps:none,compose:menu,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
BACKSPACE="guess"
Cheers,
David.
