I plugged in an external keyboard into the control box of a UR and I'm currently having the issue of the a plugged-in keyboard being configured as a Danish keyboard since that is the default. I followed instructions online to change the keyboard configuration to "us"; however, the keyboard still types as a Danish keyboard. Anyone else had this problem and managed to solve it?

Check out this article from the UR support site.

Edit: I figured out how to access the terminal when changing to the US keyboard configuration using the link above.
-Activate expert mode by holding the run button at the top left hand side
-Enter "lightbot" as the password
-Navigate to the etc folder then to the default folder
-Click on the "filter" drop down menu at the bottom right to select all files
-Click on the "keyboard" file and click on open
-Look for "XKBOPTIONS=" and make sure that whatever is following that is only a pair of parenthesis
- You should see that line as: XKBOPTIONS=""
-Re-boot the system and you should be able to access the terminal using ctrl+alt+F1 now
