I just installed Metasploitable in VirtualBox for doing some exercises.
Metasploitable is a Ubuntu Hardy-based system, with some built in errors that allows you to tamper with it.
I live in Denmark, and thus I use a Danish keyboard layout.
Since Metasploitable works for English, this means that my keyboard is now messed up a little bit when I type inside of this new VM.
Usually, when I have been working on Ubuntu or Kali VMs, then it is quite easy to navigate around and change the keyboard language layout.
This is harder now, since I only have a terminal to work with.
I have been searching around for solutions, the closest thing I have found is this:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
Where I think I need to put the configuration I want in the
keyboard-configuration
field. But I don't know how to figure what the configurations are called for the different languages (trying intuitive names like "dk" fails).
So, how do I change the keyboard layout?
