I am sorry about this... I forgot the -y in the apt-get install
command.  I did not test this before I sent it :(

It was supposed to download the language pack, but I forgot the -y flag
for apt-get install... so I am not sure what it was doing other than
waiting for yes, which couldn't come...
I have since tested it, and update is not needed normally

I haven't worked out completely what to send to setxkbmap...
I think I need to take
the locales installed
EXAMPLE:
de_AT.utf8
de_BE.utf8
de_CH.utf8
de_DE.utf8
de_LI.utf8
de_LU.utf8

So  I choose the first one de_AT.utf8
VAR=de_AT.utf8
KB=${VAR%%.*}
KB=${KB##*_}
KB=$(echo $KB | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
echo $KB
(basically lines 53-56 in this script)

So does it make sense to
setxkbmap at
because I cannot
setxkbmap en
though,
setxkbmap us
works..

Does this make sense?
