Hello Friends

For a Server environment to change the keyboard layout is possible use the sudo localectl set-keymap <keymap> command in peace. Other approach would be with TUI (Terminal User Interface).

I found the following answer in other network:

Where among many methods the #1 is as follows:

$ sudo yum install system-config-keyboard
...
Installed:
  system-config-keyboard.x86_64 0:1.3.1-14.fc19

Dependency Installed:
  system-config-keyboard-base.x86_64 0:1.3.1-14.fc19

It to execute then the system-config-keyboard command and get the TUI

Well when is executed the sudo dnf install system-config-keyboard command appears:

No match for argument: system-config-keyboard
You can try to add to command line:
  --skip-unavailable to skip unavailable packages

Yes, I can see in the command’s output is for Fedora Core 19 (fc19) What would be the equivalent for Fedora Server 41

Thanks in advance

Funny that you ask, I just needed this

loadkeys de

Not sure if that sets it everywhere, but it sets the one in the terminal/TTY window

You should normally access the server over SSH and it follows the client settings.
Direct access should be limited to emergency cases that can be resolved with sane defaults, and then you can use SSH again.

Thanks for the replies

According with my understanding your are correct about the loadkeys command, it works for the current tty (perhaps I am wrong) but the sudo localectl set-keymap <keymap> is global

Thanks for the suggestion, but It is for a small LAN with SSH and throughout the day according with a schedule some members need change the keyboard layout. Again, the localectl set-keymap works fine but just wondered if TUI can be applied as the Figures available in the link provided.

For example Debian and Ubuntu have the dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration command
