Greek keymap or locale problem

[alexxtasi]

Hi there
My starting point is to create a custom sysrcd, based on this howto (https://www.system-rescue-cd.org/Sysres ... emRescueCd), in order to add Greek language on x and console mode also (so don't have to set it every-time I boot).

Trying this, I found out:

- when I select gr keymap at boot time, in the console I can write in english, but when trying to change keymap (either with Alt+Shift or Alt+Enter) Sysrcd freezes and I can only hard-reboot.

- when I leave the default US keymap and after, add gr keymap running command

Code: Select all

loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/gr.map

or the

Code: Select all

loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/gr-pc.map

, the result is changing keymaps but greek characters can't be read (not unicode I suppose?)

- I tried to add greek unicode locales (even though I am not sure this is the problem) with

Code: Select all

grep el_GR.UTF /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORT >> /etc/locale.gen

and then

Code: Select all

locale-gen

but the result was

Code: Select all

cannot open locale definition file 'el_GR' : No such file or directory

Is my problem the lack of greek utf locale?
Or the two gr keymaps already in sysrcd, need to be updated?
What can I do to fix this?

thanks in advance
