Changing keyboard layout to Dvorak in Ubuntu-server

I want to set my keyboard layout to Dvorak. How do I do that exactly?

Solution 1:

I found this more straightforward and simple:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

Solution 2:

This will guide you through the process of selecting different keyboard layouts:

$ dpkg-reconfigure console-data

Maybe you will need to install console-data.

$ sudo apt-get install console-data

If you want to make changes permanent then you can use:

$ dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

Solution 3:

Looks like this will work, too:

$ sudo loadkeys dvorak
