English Keyboard

Technical Questions Robot Communication

I am having trouble getting any connected keyboard to use a standard US English command. If I type “-” I get “+”. The only close option in Setup is Int’l English and that does not work.

Hi @christian.mackin,

This language option in setup will only change the onscreen language, not the keyboard input language. You’ll need to change this within Linux, I don’t have a real robot infront of me to check but I think you need to change the XKBLAYOUT line to =“us” in /etc/default/keyboard and then reboot.

Hi @Corne,

You need to do the following steps

  1. Go to the terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+F6
  2. type in “root” as user and admin password default is “easybot”
  3. type in “nano /etc/default/keyboard” and hit enter
  4. modify the file according to @ajp instruction
  5. press CTRL+X to exit and save changes
  6. reboot the system

I hope that solves your challenge

I can’t get the password for URSim to work.

ursim login: root
password: easybot

Login incorrect

Please consider that your keyboard layout can affect the password you type in

Not trying to be rude but that doesn’t really help.

I did test this, though… I typed the user name as easybot and it came out correctly. When I type in root as the username it came out correctly.

Hi @fuknrekd ,

In the URsim, the default keyboard setting is US already so why do you need a password? Do you want to change it to other keyboard layout?

If you really need to log in the ubuntu as “root” with a new password in ursim, you could follow steps below in the terminal console. I suggest you still use “easybot” as the password to avoid forgetting it.

I was actually trying to use it to use the file manager. Figured it was the same.

Not a biggie. I can use shared folders. Takes longer to set up but works fine.

URSim is set up using user “ur” where as the real robot just uses root. I would guess that’s why it was telling you the password was wrong in URSim… easybot is the password for ur not root?
