[125000720010] |<title>Disk ARchive (Backup and Restore) using dar and kdar(dar Frontend)</title>
[125000720020] |Dar is a shell command that makes backup of a directory tree and files.
[125000720030] |Its features include splitting archives over several files, CDs, ZIPs, or floppies, compression, full or differential backups, strong encryption, proper saving and restoration of hard links and extended attributes, remote backup using pipes and external command (such as ssh), and rearrangement of the “slices” of an existing archive.
[125000720040] |It can now run commands between slices, encrypt archives, and quickly retrieve individual files from differential and full backups.
[125000720050] |Dar also has external GUI like kdar for Linux,thanks to the well documented API.
[125000720060] |Kdar is GUI for dar.KDar is the “KDE Disk archiver”, a disk-based archiving and backup utility.KDar is built around the “disk archive library” by Denis Corbin, and is similar in function to his “DAR” program.
[125000720070] |DAR is somewhat analogous to the “tape archiver” shell command “tar”, but is better suited for backups onto disk-based media, such as CD-R’s, DVDs,Jazz, Zip, other hard-drives, etc.
[125000720080] |KDar can perform differential backups, which means that it can quickly store the differences between a recent full backup and the current state of your data.KDar now supports strong encryption based on the blowfish algorithm.
[125000720090] |<strong>Install dar and kdar in Ubuntu</strong>
[125000720100] |<strong>For dapper Users</strong>
[125000720110] |sudo apt-get install dar kdar
[125000720120] |<strong>For Edgy Users</strong>
[125000720130] |sudo apt-get install dar kdar
[125000720140] |<strong>kdar Edgy Problem with Solution</strong>
[125000720150] |When you try to install kdar you will get the following error
[125000720160] |The following packages have unmet dependencies. kdar: Depends: libdar3c2a but it is not installable E: Broken packages
[125000720170] |<strong>Solution1</strong>
[125000720180] |If you are seeing the above error you need to download libdar3c2a from <a>dapper packages</a> and install this package.
[125000720190] |<strong>Solution2</strong>
[125000720200] |You can also use the following procedure when you do this you need to be very careful what you are doing.
[125000720210] |you can edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file
[125000720220] |sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[125000720230] |add the following line
[125000720240] |deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe
[125000720250] |save and exit the file.
[125000720260] |Now update the souce list using the following command
[125000720270] |sudo apt-get update
[125000720280] |Install libdar3c2a from dapper packages using the following command
[125000720290] |sudo apt-get install libdar3c2a
[125000720300] |Once this finished the installation you need to remove the line we have added in /etc/apt/sources.list for dapper save the file and exit
[125000720310] |Now you need to update the source list using the following command
[125000720320] |sudo apt-get update
[125000720330] |This will complete the installation now if you want to open the application go to Applications--->Accessories--->KDar (Disk-Based Archive Tool)
[125000720340] |Once it opens you should see the following screen here select basic setup and click on next
[125000720350] |Here if you want to use KDE Wallet to store your password enable this otherwise click on finish
[125000720360] |Now you need to define where you want to archive directory and click ok
[125000720370] |If that directory you choose doesn’t exist it will create for you select yes
[125000720380] |<img/>Dar is Loading
[125000720390] |Once it opens the complete application you should see the following screen this is kdar main screen.Below the titlebar are KDar’s Menubar and Toolbar.
[125000720400] |The Menubar allows you to open and create archives, operate on them, and get information about KDar.
[125000720410] |The Toolbar gives you one-click access to many of KDar’s features, and you can configure it to your liking by right-clicking on it.
[125000720420] |<strong>Creating archives Using KDar</strong>
[125000720430] |To create an archive, select “Archive->Create” (at bottom of menu).
[125000720440] |Let the wizard take you step-by-step through the archiving process.
[125000720450] |Use the Next >and < Back buttons at the bottom of the wizard to navigate the pages.
[125000720460] |The rest of this section describes this procedure in detail, and you can skip it if you just want to create a basic archive.
[125000720470] |The first page of the create wizard gives you an opportunity to restore a “profile”.
[125000720480] |Profiles store all of the information needed to perform one of KDar's operations.
[125000720490] |You save them to your filesystem as regular files, with any name you like, ending with “.kdar”.
[125000720500] |Currently KDar supports “creation” and “restoration” profiles.
[125000720510] |To load a creation profile, click the Restore profile button and select the profile.
[125000720520] |You probably haven't saved a profile yet, so just click the Next >button.
[125000720530] |Now you need to enter the archive name and you can choose your choice of name but recommended one is descriptive you can see this in the following screen
[125000720540] |The “root directory” is the filesystem’s top-level directory that you want to archive.
[125000720550] |KDar will consider all directories and files below this directory for inclusion in the archive, but no files above or adjacent to this directory.Here Choose the archive’s root directory.
[125000720560] |Creating full system backups can take several hours on modern filesystems.
[125000720570] |KDar can optionally store the difference between the current state of the filesystem and the state of the filesystem when you last created a full backup.
[125000720580] |The new archive is called a “differential” archive.
[125000720590] |Performing a differential backup can take considerably less time than doing a full backup, and the resulting archive usually takes up much less space on your filesystem or storage media.
[125000720600] |If you want to make a differential backup, enable the differential backup checkbox, and select the reference archive.
[125000720610] |The reference archive can be from a previous full backup, a previous differential backup, or an archive catalog.
[125000720620] |Archive catalogs contain only the basic archive information, such as the contents, but are equivalent to regular archives as far as differential creation is concerned.
[125000720630] |Leave the checkbox unchecked if you’re making a new archive (e.g., a full backup).
[125000720640] |KDar has many advanced creation features which you can configure by clicking the Configure creation options button.You can see the advanced configuration options screen as follows.This brings up a configuration dialog which allows you to customize the creation process to suit your needs.
[125000720650] |For example, KDar has powerful directory and file filtering mechanisms which allow you to fine-tune which directories and files to include in the archive.
[125000720660] |You can also choose whether to compress the archive contents, and you can specify which types of file to exclude from the compression process.
[125000720670] |KDar now supports strong encryption, and you can enable it there.If you want to use advanced options Configure the advanced creation settings.
[125000720680] |Now you can save your settings as a profile.When you’re satisfied that everything is okay, click Finish.
[125000720690] |Your archive should be created.
[125000720700] |KDar will show you a progress dialog which displays the percentage of files processed,the media type and current archive slice size.
[125000720710] |Filenames are also displayed as they are added to the archive.
[125000720720] |<strong>Restoring archives Using KDar</strong>
[125000720730] |Select “Archive->Restore”
[125000720740] |You should see the following screen
[125000720750] |Here you need to select the archive you want to open select .1.dar and click on open
[125000720760] |Now you need to choose a directory to extract your archive into and click on folder icon to choose a directory <img/>
[125000720770] |You should see similar to the following screen select a directory to extract your archive and click ok
[125000720780] |Once you selected restore directory you should see the following screen and click ok
[125000720790] |It will start the restore process you can see this in the following screen
[125000720800] |This will restore all the files you have selected for restore.This is very simple and useful backup tool for all ubuntu users and admin.

[125000730010] |<title>Manage Linux SysRq over network Using sysrqd</title>
[125000730020] |sysrqd is a tiny daemon aiming to control sysrq over network.SysRq stands for System Request, and this are functions mapped to keyboard short cuts by the kernel.
[125000730030] |You can use them by pressing Alt+SysRq+[key] (SysRq might be named “Print Screen” on your keyboard),Permits to execute usual SysRq commands by network, like: sync, umount, reboot, poweroff, sak, term, etc. where key can be s (sync), k (sak), 0 to 9 (logging level), b (reboot), etc.
[125000730040] |The goal of this keyboard sequences is too be available even if you can’t do anything on your box, because you screwed up everything, or because it’s crashed or under very heavy load.
[125000730050] |sysrqd can help you to use SysRq keys when you are not in front of your box,and you need to do Emergency Sync, R/O remount and reBoot.
[125000730060] |It is designed to respond under heavy load or half-crashed box, so it might work even if you can’t access to your box for example.
[125000730070] |In this case, you will be happy to telnet to your box on sysrqd port, enter your password, and then press s, u, b and wait for your server to reboot.
[125000730080] |You would not have been able to do that since ssh was not responding.
[125000730090] |The connection is password protected but not cyphered so you might want to firewall it or to run it on a trusted network.
[125000730100] |<strong>Install sysrqd in Ubuntu</strong>
[125000730110] |sudo apt-get install sysrqd
[125000730120] |This will complete the installation
[125000730130] |<strong>Using sysrqd</strong>
[125000730140] |To set up your password use the following command
[125000730150] |echo “mypassword” >/etc/sysrqd.secret
[125000730160] |sudo chmod 0600 /etc/sysrqd.secret
[125000730170] |Then, you will be able to telnet to port 4094/tcp.
[125000730180] |% telnet localhost 4094 Trying 127.0.0.1… Connected to localhost.localdomain.
[125000730190] |Escape character is ‘^]’. sysrqd password: hello sysrq> s sysrq> u sysrq> q
[125000740010] |<title>Special Characters made easier in Ubuntu</title>
[125000740020] |If you are using Ubuntu Dapper Drake, you could press CTRL+SHIFT and then the unicode for special characters so you didn’t have to copy and paste them from the Character palette every time you wanted to use them.
[125000740030] |<strong>Solution1 </strong>
[125000740040] |If you are using Edgy this will not work any more here is simple tip how to use Special Characters.You need to use compose key
[125000740050] |If you want to enable compose key go to System ---> Preferences ---> Keyboard
[125000740060] |Once it opens you should see the following screen
[125000740070] |Now you need to select Layout Options tab from the above screen
[125000740080] |Now you need to expand on Compose key position
[125000740090] |<img/>Choose Right-Win key is compose, click Close.
[125000740100] |To use it, hold the Compose key down and then type in the characters you want to mash together.For Example check the following ones RightWin + C + = produces € RightWin + = + C produces € RightWin + C + O produces © RightWin + O + C produces © RightWin + a + ‘produces á
[125000740110] |<strong>Solution2 </strong>
[125000740120] |Another option is you can proceed the following procedure
[125000740130] |If you can’t make fractions like ½ with the above solution you can fix that using the following procedure
[125000740140] |you need to edit the /etc/environment file using the following command
[125000740150] |sudo vi /etc/environment
[125000740160] |add the following line
[125000740170] |export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
[125000740180] |Save the file and exit
[125000740190] |Now you need to copy this file to your home directory
[125000740200] |cp /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose ~/.XCompose
[125000740210] |This will give you a more complete character set.For example that your keyboard doesn’t have a tilde (~).
[125000740220] |You can change the lines that require entering a tilde so that a simple “t” (or whatever you like) will work.
[125000740230] |Just don’t use a key combination that’s already in use.

[125000830010] |<title>Install Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Edubuntu/Xubuntu without CDROM Drive</title>
[125000830020] |If You have a old machine without CD-ROM and you want to use that as your ubuntu desktop You can use any one of the following solutions to install ubuntu.
[125000830030] |<strong>Solution1 </strong>
[125000830040] |Before Starting We need to remember the following Important Points
[125000830050] |<strong>***THIS INSTALLATION METHOD WILL ONLY WORK WITH THE ALTERNATIVE ISO FILES OF UBUNTU/KUBUNTU/XUBUNTU***</strong>
[125000830060] |1)Download the Alternative Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Edubuntu/Xubuntu .iso file from <a>here</a> and run an md5 check on it.
[125000830070] |2)If you are running Windows you can download the md5 sum program from<a> here</a> once you have this drag your .iso file onto the program (md5sums.exe) and it will spit out a long string of characters and numbers.
[125000830080] |Make sure the string it spits out matches the published md5 sum. md5 sums look like the following
[125000830090] |549ef19097b10ac9237c08f6dc6084c6 ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso
[125000830100] |3)Before installing Ubuntu you will need to partition your drive.
[125000830110] |In essence you will need to boot from another media either a floppy, 2nd drive or USB key and run some type of partition software.
[125000830120] |Create one new partition for the Ubuntu installation, one to hold the .iso file &additional boot files (say 700megs).
[125000830130] |You might need to resize your existing OS to make space for the above 2 partitions.
[125000830140] |4)Now you need to Install grub onto either a floppy or hard drive and create a similar entry in your menu.lst file
[125000830150] |title Install Ubuntu root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=normal ramdisk_size=14972 root=/dev/rd/0 rw -- initrd /boot/initrd.gz
[125000830160] |**(hd0,2) refers to the 1st hard drive ‘hd0′ and the 3rd partition ’2′.
[125000830170] |The counting of partitions and hard drives starts at zero.
[125000830180] |Change (hd0,2) to match the drive and partition of your .iso file.
[125000830190] |e.g (hd1,3) Refers to drive 2 and partition 4.
[125000830200] |5)Download the vmlinuz &initrd.gz files from <a>here</a>
[125000830210] |6)First you need to copy the .iso, vmlinuz &initrd.gz files onto the newly created partition from step (2) in a /boot directory.Make sure all other Ubuntu/Kbuntu/Xubuntu .iso files have been renamed to .iso.somethingelse, this will prevent the installer from picking up the wrong .iso file.
[125000830220] |7)Now you need to Boot your machine machine from the hard disk or floppy that has grub installed, you should see a menu that contains ‘Install Ubuntu’.
[125000830230] |Select ‘Install Ubuntu’ and press enter.
[125000830240] |8)Next run through the installation until it fails to find the .iso file.
[125000830250] |Then change to terminal 2 with (Ctrl-Alt-F2).
[125000830260] |Hit enter to activate this console.
[125000830270] |9)Type the below commands in terminal 2
[125000830280] |mkdir -p /dev/loop ln /dev/loop0 /dev/loop/0
[125000830290] |10) Change back to terminal 1 (Ctrl-Alt-F1), scan again and the ISO will be detected.
[125000830300] |The install should be working now on your PC
[125000830310] |You can refer this from <a>here</a>
[125000830320] |<strong>Solution2</strong>
[125000830330] |This method will work all Ubuntu Versions
[125000830340] |First thing you need to create a boot floppy with etherboot.
[125000830350] |You need to click <a>here</a> and located your network card in the dropdown.
[125000830360] |You need to make sure the exact PCI ID numbers of your network card which will help you in finding the correct driver.
[125000830370] |If you don’t know, try to locate the card by name in the list.
[125000830380] |Opt for a bootable floppy image, download it and then write it to a floppy per the instructions on the site.
[125000830390] |You then need to configure a tftp server on another machine on the same network.
[125000830400] |The server should be configured to serve the contents of /install/netboot directory of the Ubuntu CD as root directory.
[125000830410] |This way, when the computer you are about to install asks for the file pxelinux.0, the pxelinux.0 in /install/netboot on the Ubuntu CD will be served.
[125000830420] |You can install the atftpd package, mount your ubuntu CD on /media/cdrom and added /media/cdrom/install/netboot as commandline argument to in.tftpd in /etc/inetd.conf.
[125000830430] |Don’t forget to restart inetd after doing this.
[125000830440] |Now you need to configure DHCP server as follows
[125000830450] |host tobeinstalled { hardware ethernet 00:80:C8:F8:51:25; next-server myinstallhost; filename “pxelinux.0″; allow bootp; allow booting; }
[125000830460] |This will make dhcpd tell the client that it should ask myinstallhost for pxelinux.0 at boot.
[125000830470] |Inserted the floppy in the computer to be installed and rebooted it.
[125000830480] |It downloaded a bunch of files via TFTP, and then gave me the regular Ubuntu install prompt.
[125000830490] |You can check this from <a>here</a>

[125000850340] |When I try to compile Gimmie i got the following two problems so i am giving the solutions for this
[125000850350] |<strong>Problem</strong>
[125000850360] |When i try to compile i got the following error
[125000850370] |checking for GIMMIE… configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.6 pygtk-2.0 >= 2.6 pygobject-2.0 >= 2.6 gnome-python-2.0 >= 2.10 gnome-python-desktop-2.0 >= 2.10 libgnomecups-1.0 >= 0.2.2) were not met:
[125000850380] |No package ‘gnome-python-2.0′ found No package ‘gnome-python-desktop-2.0′ found No package ‘libgnomecups-1.0′ found
[125000850390] |<strong>Solution</strong>
[125000850400] |You need to install the following packages
[125000850410] |sudo apt-get install python-gnome2-dev python-gnome2-desktop-dev libgnomecups1.0-dev
[125000850420] |<strong>Problem</strong>
[125000850430] |Whe you try to add panel it doesn’t show up in add to panel even after logging in and out
[125000850440] |<strong>Solution</strong>
[125000850450] |You can try installing gimmie into /usr by passing the “–prefix=/usr” arg to the configure script, which should place the GNOME_GimmieApplet.server file in the proper location for bonobo-activation-server to see it: usually /usr/lib/bonobo/servers.
[125000850460] |Alternately, if you installed into the default configure location (probably /usr/local) you can just copy the .server file to /usr/lib/bonobo/servers.
[125000850470] |sudo cp /usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_GimmieApplet.server /usr/lib/bonobo/servers
[125000850480] |If all of this still doesn’t work, you may need to kill bonobo-activation-server, and/or restart gnome-panel itself.

[125000860230] |<strong>Install RRD Tool From Source</strong>
[125000860240] |Now you need to download latest rddtool from <a>here</a> sudo cd /usr/local/src/
[125000860250] |sudo wget http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/rrdtool-1.2.15.tar.gz (at the time of writing this article) sudo tar xfvz rrdtool-1.2.15.tar.gz
[125000860260] |sudo cd rrdtool-1.2.15
[125000860270] |sudo ./configure
[125000860280] |sudo make
[125000860290] |sudo make install
[125000860300] |This will complete the RRD tool Installation from Source
[125000860310] |<strong>Installing Cacti From Source</strong>
[125000860320] |Now you need to download Latest Version of Cacti From here http://www.cacti.net/download_cacti.php to your apache web server document root by default this is /var/www/ you can download if you changed your document root to some other path.
[125000860330] |sudo cd /var/www/
[125000860340] |sudo wget http://www.cacti.net/downloads/cacti-0.8.6i.tar.gz (At the time of writing)
[125000860350] |Extract the distribution tarball.
[125000860360] |sudo tar xzvf cacti-0.8.6i.tar.gz
[125000860370] |Now you should have cacti-0.8.6i directory now you can move this to cacti directory
[125000860380] |sudo mv cacti-0.8.6i cacti
[125000860390] |Now you need to make sure that you have the correct permissions for inside cacti folders and files
[125000860400] |sudo chown -R www-data:www-data rra/ log/
[125000860410] |Create cacti database
[125000860420] |First you need to create a database called cacti for this you need to use the following commands
[125000860430] |$sudo mysql -u root
[125000860440] |Promt for mysql root password
[125000860450] |mysql> create database cacti; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> quit
[125000860460] |You can also use phpmyadmin to create database.
[125000860470] |Import the default cacti database
[125000860480] |sudo mysql cacti < cacti.sql
[125000860490] |Optional: Create a MySQL username and password for Cacti.
[125000860500] |sudo mysql --user=root mysql
[125000860510] |mysql> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘somepassword’;
[125000860520] |mysql> flush privileges;
[125000860530] |mysql> exit Bye
[125000860540] |I am creating cactiusers as mysql database user with password as cacti.
[125000860550] |Now you need to Edit /var/www/cacti/include/config.php and specify the MySQL user, password and database for your Cacti configuration.
[125000860560] |$database_default = “cacti”; $database_hostname = “localhost”; $database_username = “cactiuser”; $database_password = “cacti”;
[125000860570] |Enter a valid username for cactiuser, this user will also be used in the next step for data gathering.
[125000860580] |Now we need to add the crontab for poller
[125000860590] |sudo crontab -e
[125000860600] |Add the following line ans save you can chnage the time whenever you want.
[125000860610] |*/5 * * * * cactiuser php /var/www/cacti/poller.php >/dev/null 2> 1
[125000860620] |Replace cactiuser with the valid user specified in the previous step.
[125000860630] |Replace /var/www/cacti/ with your full Cacti path.
[125000860640] |Point your web browser to http://your-server-ip/cacti/ this will start with the following screen here click next
[125000860650] |Here you need to select the type of installation and click next

[125000871790] |sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[125000871800] |add which source list you want to use save and exit the file.
[125000871810] |Now you should see some of the source list is having the GPG key information for these keys you need to installed using the command menction against each source list just copy and paste the command in your terminal after finishing this gpg key infomation you need to update the source list using the following command
[125000871820] |sudo apt-get update
[125000871830] |Now you can install which package you want to install
[125000871840] |Now we will see one example how to use these source lists
[125000871850] |<strong>Example</strong>
[125000871860] |If you want to install automatix package you need to use the following commands

[125000880010] |<title>Manage SSH Tunnels with Gnome SSH Tunnel Manager</title>
[125000880020] |gSTM, the Gnome SSH Tunnel Manager, is a front-end for managing SSH-tunneled port redirects.
[125000880030] |It stores tunnel configurations in a simple XML format.
[125000880040] |The tunnels, with local and remote port redirections, can be created, deleted, modified, and individually started and stopped through one simple interface.
[125000880050] |It is useful for anyone wanting to securely access private services over an encrypted tunnel.
[125000880060] |<strong>Install Gnome SSH Tunnel Manager in Ubuntu</strong>
[125000880070] |First you need to download the .deb package from <a>here</a> using the following command
[125000880080] |wget http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gstm/gstm_1.2_i386.deb
[125000880090] |Once you have the gstm_1.2_i386.deb package you need to install this using the following command
[125000880100] |sudo dpkg -i gstm_1.2_i386.deb
[125000880110] |This will complete the installation.
[125000880120] |If you want to open this application go to Applications--->Internet--->gSTM
[125000880130] |Once it opens you should see the following screen
[125000880140] |If you want to add ssh tunnel you need to click on add now you should see the following screen here you need to enter the name of the tunnel and click ok
[125000880150] |Once you click ok you can see the following screen here you need to fill all the required detailed for your host and click ok
[125000880160] |If you want to add a port redirection you need to select add under portforwarding in the above screen
[125000880170] |Once you click on ok you should see the following screen if you want to connect to SSH tunnel select your host and click on start it should start connecting to your host
[125000880180] |<strong>Examples</strong>
[125000880190] |<strong>Remote Desktop</strong>
[125000880200] |Remote Desktop to various Windoze servers in the private LAN.
[125000880210] |Although Remote Desktop supports some degree of encryption itself and you can easily create a port-forward in your firewall.
[125000880220] |First of all you don’t want to create a port-forward for every desktop you want to reach.
[125000880230] |Second and most important, you don’t want the Remote Desktop ports open for the world to see… for obvious security reasons.
[125000880240] |<strong>Secure POP3</strong>
[125000880250] |If you are running a POP3 service on your *nix router/server you are probably aware of the fact POP3 is an unencrypted, plain-text protocol.
[125000880260] |Hypothetically this means any ‘man-in-the-middle’ is able to read your username, password and e-mail content.
[125000880270] |Obviously, on your private LAN this isn’t a problem, however you might want to read your mail over the internet one day…
[125000880280] |One solution would be to install pop3s or better yet, imaps.
[125000880290] |However there is another way, without having to install additional services: an SSH tunnel.The way it works is, you connect to your router/firewall through ssh and set up a portredirect over it (ie. a tunnel).
[125000880300] |You can then connect your e-mail client to your localhost.
[125000880310] |The connection will then be redirected over the encrypted SSH connection to your POP3 service.
[125000880320] |Et voila, a secure POP3 connection.
[125000890010] |<title>Disable and Enable Caps Lock in Ubuntu</title>
[125000890020] |Solution 1
[125000890030] |If you want to disable Caps Lock in Ubuntu you need to type the following command in your terminal
[125000890040] |xmodmap -e “clear Lock”
[125000890050] |If you want to Enable Caps Lock in Ubuntu you need to type the following command in your terminal
[125000890060] |xmodmap -e “add Lock = Caps_Lock”
[125000890070] |Solution 2
[125000890080] |1) create an appropriate xmodmap-file
[125000890090] |xmodmap -pke >~/.xmodmap.myown
[125000890100] |2) Search the line with capslock in it, it’s keycode 66 in my case.
[125000890110] |Replace it with something you wouls like, my line looks like this
[125000890120] |keycode 66 = slash backslash
[125000890130] |so You need to slash and backslash on your capslock.
[125000890140] |3) make two entries for the xmodmap in autostart
[125000890150] |xmodmap -e “clear Lock” xmodmap ~/.xmodmap.myown
[125000890160] |with the first command, the capslock function is disabled, with the second the modified keymap is loaded.

[125000900760] |<strong>Ubuntu Lite</strong>
[125000900770] |The idea of Ubuntu Lite is to bring the power of Ubuntu across to the users of Legacy systems.
[125000900780] |So not just to make a small linux as this has been done before (Puppy Linux, Damn Small linux, the Rule Project).
[125000900790] |Nor to make a useable linux based desktop Operating system (that has been done with Ubuntu Linux, Beatrix) The idea is to bring the power of ubuntu to the typical users of Legacy hardware (ie the grandma who gets an old P2 set up for her but does not know how to use it).
