Working inside a VirtualBox virtual machine. Installed Arch Linux using the Archinstall method. Chose KDE as the DE and SDDM as the greeting screen.
Managed to log in once, but after adding a language and rebooting, I didn’t seem to be able to change the keyboard layout, making entering the correct password impossible. I have tried looking up how to switch the keyboard layout, but am coming up with nothing. What is the key combination to change the keyboard layout in SDDM?
Setting up a different virtual machine now.
The problem is that there is no such option there, which is why I’m asking.
It seems that I need to install
kdeplasma-addons. I will need to look into how people usually usepacman, as it keeps asking me to login asroot.To use pacman you must have root permissions. You can do this by using
sudo.If your installation is correct, you must just use
sudo pacman -S kdeplasma-addonssudois a command that escalates your user’s privileges to haverootpowerpacman -Sinstalls a packageI was wondering what I was doing wrong with
sudo.And did u find out?
