interfaces de usuario. Los ajustes de diseño del teclado controla el diseño usado en la consola de texto y en las interfaces gráficas de usuario.
Estos ajustes se pueden hacer modificando el fichero de configuración
/etc/locale.conf
o usando la utilidad localectl. También
puede fijar estos ajustes durante la instalación del sistema usando la
interfaz gráfica de instalación, la interfaz de modo texto o los comandos
Kickstart keyboard y lang. Vea en la

Estableciendo la Configuración Regional del Sistema
System-wide locale settings are stored in the /etc/locale.conf
file, which
is read at early boot by the systemd
daemon. The locale settings
configured in /etc/locale.conf
are inherited by every service or user,
unless individual programs or individual users override them.
The basic file format of /etc/locale.conf
is a newline-separated list of
variable assignments. For example, German locale with English messages in
/etc/locale.conf
looks as follows:
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=C
Here, the LC_MESSAGES option determines the locale used for diagnostic
messages written to the standard error output. To further specify locale
settings in /etc/locale.conf
, you can use several other options, the most
relevant are summarized in
System_Locale_and_Keyboard_Configuration.adoc#tab-locale_options. See the locale(7)
manual page for
detailed information on these options. Note that the LC_ALL option, which
represents all possible options, should not be configured in
/etc/locale.conf
.
Option | Description |
---|---|
LANG |
Provides a default value for the system locale. |
LC_COLLATE |
Changes the behavior of functions which compare strings in the local alphabet. |
LC_CTYPE |
Changes the behavior of the character handling and classification functions and the multibyte character functions. |
LC_NUMERIC |
Describes the way numbers are usually printed, with details such as decimal point versus decimal comma. |
LC_TIME |
Changes the display of the current time, 24-hour versus 12-hour clock. |
LC_MESSAGES |
Determines the locale used for diagnostic messages written to the standard error output. |
Displaying the Current Status
The localectl command can be used to query and change the system
locale and keyboard layout settings. To show the current settings, use the
status
option:
localectl status
The output of the previous command lists the currently set locale, keyboard layout configured for the console and for the X11 window system.
~]$ localectl status System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 VC Keymap: us X11 Layout: n/a
Listing Available Locales
To list all locales available for your system, type:
localectl list-locales
Imagine you want to select a specific English locale, but you are not sure if it is available on the system. You can check that by listing all English locales with the following command:
~]$ localectl list-locales | grep en_
en_AG
en_AG.utf8
en_AU
en_AU.iso88591
en_AU.utf8
en_BW
en_BW.iso88591
en_BW.utf8
output truncated
Setting the Locale
To set the default system locale, use the following command as root
:
localectlset-locale
LANG
=locale
Replace locale with the locale name, found with the localectl
list-locales
command. The above syntax can also be used to
configure parameters from
System_Locale_and_Keyboard_Configuration.adoc#tab-locale_options.
For example, if you want to set British English as your default locale,
first find the name of this locale by using list-locales
. Then, as
root
, type the command in the following form:
~]# localectl set-locale LANG=en_GB.utf8
Changing the Keyboard Layout
The keyboard layout settings enable the user to control the layout used on the text console and graphical user interfaces.
Displaying the Current Settings
As mentioned before, you can check your current keyboard layout configuration with the following command:
localectl status
In the following output, you can see the keyboard layout configured for the virtual console and for the X11 window system.
~]$ localectl status System Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8 VC Keymap: us X11 Layout: us
Listing Available Keymaps
To list all available keyboard layouts that can be configured on your system, type:
localectl list-keymaps
You can use grep to search the output of the previous command for a specific keymap name. There are often multiple keymaps compatible with your currently set locale. For example, to find available Czech keyboard layouts, type:
~]$ localectllist-keymaps
| grepcz
cz cz-cp1250 cz-lat2 cz-lat2-prog cz-qwerty cz-us-qwertz sunt5-cz-us sunt5-us-cz
Setting the Keymap
To set the default keyboard layout for your system, use the following
command as root
:
localectl set-keymap
map
Replace map with the name of the keymap taken from the output of the
localectl list-keymaps
command. Unless the
--no-convert
option is passed, the selected setting is also
applied to the default keyboard mapping of the X11 window system, after
converting it to the closest matching X11 keyboard mapping. This also
applies in reverse, you can specify both keymaps with the following command
as root
:
localectl set-x11-keymap
map
If you want your X11 layout to differ from the console layout, use the
--no-convert
option.
localectl--no-convert
set-x11-keymap
map
With this option, the X11 keymap is specified without changing the previous console layout setting.
Imagine you want to use German keyboard layout in the graphical interface,
but for console operations you want to retain the US keymap. To do so, type
as root
:
~]# localectl --no-convert set-x11-keymap de
Then you can verify if your setting was successful by checking the current status:
~]$ localectl status System Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 VC Keymap: us X11 Layout: de
Apart from keyboard layout (map), three other options can be specified:
localectl set-x11-keymap
map model variant options
Replace model with the keyboard model name, variant and options with
keyboard variant and option components, which can be used to enhance the
keyboard behavior. These options are not set by default. For more
information on X11 Model, X11 Variant, and X11 Options see the kbd(4)
man
page.
