I'm a Linux newbie and I'm struggling with defining my keyboard setting. I googled and tried many solutions but didn't solve my problem. By system settings, I have Croatian keyboard but that isn't that keyboard, and I'm not sure is there any other way to find out what is the language my keyboard use for real?
I run Ubuntu on VMWare, maybe it's up to VMWare and not Ubuntu?
Thanks in advance!

setxkbmap -print is not helpful in this case. I found a little tool ... very easy to compile
sudo apt-get install git mkdir -p `~/src` cd `~/src` git clone cd xkblayout-state make Now you can execute the command ./xkblayout-state to get the current layout, e.g.
./xkblayout-state print "%n" German% or list all layouts that are installed
./xkblayout-state print "%N" German English English In this case without a trailing %. I would have expected that, because I have not added a \n.
Go to system settings> text entry and add the desired keyboard layout
