Tried a few different answers from here and other websites, but I can't seem to get my laptop keyboard mapping correctly on Debian at all.

My keyboard is a slightly abnormal layout.

It's qwerty, and UK.

Immediately to the right of my space bar, before Alt Gr, I have the | and key. When I press this key, I get < and >(shift) respectively.

Above my enter key, I have ~ and #. Currently when I press this, I get and |(shift) respectively.

I'm used to having GBP sign on shift+3, but instead I have #. Same applies for " being on shift+2, instead having @.

Here's the keyboard:

I suspect I'm going to need a slightly manual keymapping for this - or at least a default keymapping with some minor changes. Where do I start?

I've tried the following, with different options, to no avail. I can't get the keys to change... at all, let alone to the wrong/right options.

for i in 'console-data' 'console-setup' 'console-locales' 'keyboard-configuration'; do sudo apt-get install $i; done



for i in 'console-data' 'console-setup' 'keyboard-configuration'; do sudo dpkg-reconfigure $i; done

  Looks like a standard UK keyboard to me. Seems that it's configured as US. What happens when you run sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration? That should show an interface where you can choose your keyboard layout. What's the content of /etc/default/keyboard?

  Thanks @Gilles, I've added some responses to my OP. After I run the reconfiguration, nothing changes.
