I was playing a bit with a newly VDR and found myself in a little curious issue. Question “how do I change the keyboard setting from the standard US to italian?”

Well the answer is quite simple, since this VM is a CentOS just login  and use system-config-keyboard command….but hey wait!

first of all how I can log into the VM? For the italians readers to login in a VDR the “@” symbol is made with SHIFT+2 (and for those who dont’know how to login in the VDR shell is:

username:root

password:vmw@re

now once you’re in all you have to do is type the following:

cd /etc/sysconfig

vi keyboard

type “I”

delete the “us” and type “it”

SHIFT+ç (remeber you’re still with US keyboard)

type “wq” thant press ENTER

reboot and that’s it.
