Keyboard not typing correct keys after Linux Mint Install

Post by kevinbc »

Hi,

I went from Windows 10 on a Dell Inspirion 15 series laptop to Linux Mint (cinnamon). Installed great, works great... keyboard does not. When I type the wrong keys show up. I can and am using an external USB keyboard no problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kev

Go to Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts tab.
What is listed in the left hand column and what keyboard layout is selected?
