Keyboard layout missing

[sakittelsen]

During the installation process of Armbian you set admin password, make a new user, set time zone and system langue, BUT not the keyboard layout...

Any reason this is not part of the default armbian install process? Keyboard layout should be the first option to set during boot.

Probably because nobody implemented this yet.

Feel free to do so and send a PR.

Since I'm not capable of writing any code, how much do i have to donate to get it added? :-)

Being a Gold Partner would be a good start.

 

Software development is expensive and unfortunately getting 10 bucks here and there are simply not enough to make a living from for anyone.

throw out an offer and see if you get any takers 😉

3000 EUR is a bit steep

I'll use armbian+config for now.

Great choice!  TBH not many people asked for add this at first run - probably as many use cases are headless / servers and people are used to just run command on their own. But agree, its one of those "nice to have".

This is open source world. Anyone can contribute a feature, fix a bug. Donations are here for things that you already have. If you want feature to be fixed or added, line is very long - most of this forum is seeking for something. And there is just a few people on the other side, willing to pay with their private time for the common software maintenance. Donations, what people are willing to pay / contribute, cover less then 1% of the costs. Its a beer, not trade money. End users would destroy the project in no time, if we accept donations as a payment for the work. It is impossible to cover remaining 99%. Here and there yes, long term, no.
