New keyboard layout not active

Hi everyone,

I have seen many posts but neither of the proposed solutions works for me.

So I hope you have some ideas.

I am using Kali 2023:3 and I try to change the keyboard layout to DE.

I ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration and it appears to work. /etc/default/keyboard reads:

Code:

---

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="macbook79"
XKBLAYOUT="de"
XKBVARIANT="mac_nodeadkeys"
XKBOPTIONS=""

BACKSPACE="guess"

---

However it never works.

When I enter setxkmap de it works. But obviously this is only temporary in this session.

Anyone any idea how to get a permanent german keyboard layout?

Thx! Ur input is highly appreciated!
