  • Are you connecting to the Server via SSH or logining in locally on a tty? – Pabi Jul 2 '14 at 11:17

You can to it with setxkbmap
sudo apt-get install x11-xkb-utils
man setxkbmap to get the right syntax.

  • The question suggests this is for a server's TTY. I think setxkbmap is going to be X-specific. – Oli♦ Jul 2 '14 at 11:14
  • You are right, it works only with X or x forwaring over SSH. – Pabi Jul 2 '14 at 11:16
  • I am connected remotely to the the server via vmware vsphere client using VPN , I can connect with ssh also – user299750 Jul 2 '14 at 16:16

    The answer above just works with x11 forwarding. You could use sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration to change it, but you would have to change it back before you log out. As of yet i haven't found a way to do it user specific without x11 forwarding. – Pabi Jul 3 '14 at 7:04
