Please try do describe your problem so that it's easy to understand.
Does your keyboard miss keys?
Did you change your keyboard and connect a wrong one?
I don't think so.

Your choice of Linux kernel should not have any significance for your
keyboard or locale.

What did you "lose" where?
What did you expect, and what did you get?
What has changed?
Do you miss the nb.UTF-8 locale? Try "dpkg-reconfigure locales" as
root and select that locale.

It does not seem like a good idea to deinstall Gnome just because you
might recall having found "keyboards" sowewhere else.

It seems reasonable that you won't see changes without logging out and
in again.

Than, perhaps, you should start with learning how to change the
"keyboard"?
