FOG 1.5.4 boot menu language

[Sunks]

Hello, i would like to change the boot menu keyboard language. I can’t find any option for that.

There is an option in general fog settings / general settings / default locale = xxx but it’s not changing the boot menu keyboard. Is it possible to do that with fog 1.5.4 ?

Thanks

Unfortunately, its not easy to change the iPXE menu keyboard local. The keyboard local is compiled into the iPXE binaries.

What keyboard local are you looking for?

French, won’t be easy to use the boot menu with the wrong keyboard…

You can set the keymap in the FOG General settings on the WebUI. Should work whenever the kernel is loaded (eg registration, capture, deploy), but the actual boot menu keymap can’t be changed without recompiling the iPXE binaries as it’s baked into it.

Here is a guide I’m working on to help people who need to build custom ipxe boot kernels: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12121/compiling-ipxe-boot-kernels

well, what i needed was the french keyboard for the registration/capture/deploy.

I followed Quazz advice (General settings / keymap : azerty) and all is good now !

thanks
