Permanently set keyboard layout
0
I have a Spanish language keyboard made by Logitech and I want to set it as the default keyboard layout in Ubuntu for WSL. dpkg-reconfigure Keyboard-layout does not offer my keyboard model in the list of keyboards supported.

You mean your keyboard is not working? You don't need to see your specific keyboard normally in order for it to work (Generic 101-key PC is ok) and to set the default one (the one set during installation).

@cipurus Then it becomes very difficult to find special characters. The Ubuntu installation process does this nicely when installing on a bare machine but this is not available for Ubuntu installed in a virtual environment such as a VM or WSL.

What I mean is special characters come with the keyboard layout not with the keyboard model. For the model you can keep Generic 101-key PC (no need to select Logitech etc there), you just need to select your desired Spanish keyboard layout. Is that missing?

@cipricud dpkg-reconfigure does not let one know that that is possible so I was nor aware of the possibility.

What is worse is that my password uses characters that have special locations on a Spanish keyboard different than on a generic keyboard so I am unable to login to Ubuntu.

It turns out that the reason dpkg-reconfigure failed was that it was necessary to run sudo apt upgrade first. Doing this solved everything.
