I have plugged a USB keyboard into my Raspberry Pi running Pi-Star and the keyboard layout is not correct. When I hit the @ key (shift 2) I get a ". When I hit the " key I get a @. Normally on Raspian I would use the sudo raspi-config command to configure the keyboard but I get an error me...

Re: Wi-Fi Hot Spot connection

Re: Pi-Remote commands not working
