Bring up the dialog (don’t run from web)
#install package
apt-get install console-common

#Or try this
localectl set-keymap de
As of version 0.5-26 the timezone is applied from the account setting. So you don’t need to set it manually.
By default the system comes with UTC timezone. You might want to change it.
These commands should help you with it.
timedatectl list-timezones
timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Kiev
timedatectl
Note for linux admins, there is no ntp there, it’s systemd timesyncd.
Config is here /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf
Network timesync is already on, though it can fail with some really buggy routers and behind proxy servers.
