The keyboard mapping in the console window seems to be wrong. How can I fix this?

All of our images come with keyboard mapping set for a US keyboard. If you have something different, you need to configure it yourself within your server.

For example, on Ubuntu you can do so by running

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

and selecting the keyboard layout you are using on your local PC. After a reboot, the keyboard mapping in the console will be correct.
