Ubuntu Help

I finally figured out how to dual-boot Ubuntu Linux with XP, but i'm having a problem. I cant make an at symbol (Like in an email address), quotation marks, or question marks. All the punctuation keys are mixed around. Is there any way to set the keyboard options to match my keyboard (Question Mark)

Did you make sure that the Keyboard/Language settings are set for North American Region?

How do I do that (Question Mark)

Nevermind, it set itself to Canada (Bilingual) instead of Canada (English)


See? "@?"

I assume you've gotten past the setup stages.
You go to System-->Preferences-->Keyboard-->Layout Tab.
Now there should be a box with a country or region in it. Underneath that there should be a little plus sign. Click on that then fill out your country and make sure that the layout in the display is correct. After this, click Add at the bottom then set it as the default in the list of Keyboard layouts. Then click close.

I hope this helped. I assume, also, that you are running. Ubuntu 9.04. Mine is 8.10 but i think they are the same in this area.

I just noticed that you posted before i finished, haha sorry
