Question #77279 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77279

Summary changed to:
Arabic Characters appear when i type on username and in command line programs since upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04 from 8.10

Description changed to:
I bought a mesh computer recently which comes with ubuntu 8.10, i used
the upgrade manager which upgraded me to 9.04. but since the up grade my
keyboard (have tried both wireless and wired) seems to type in arabic,
as such i cant log on to unbuntu since it wont recognise my username and
password. also when i manage to get to a command prompt style screen, it
will also write in arabic.

However i can use a Knoppix CD and the keyboard language types in
english on Knoppix 6.0. I have managed to edit the xorg.conf file after
mounting the hard drive. However after inserting a the xkblayout
commands into the xorg.conf, there is no change. I have tried replacing
the xorg.conf file (kept a copy) with a the xorg.conf file from Knoppix,
also with little luck. Any ideas anyone?
