the "/" key is stuck!
My / key is stuck, It's a dual booting laptop (so no, I can't just switch the keyboard, at least not without sourcing one) I managed to disable the / key in windows, now I'm wondering how to do it in Ubuntu, logging on is a nightmare, because it types in when I'm putting in a password, I'm hoping that there's a neat trick I can pull from the windoze partition, because doing anything in under linux at the moment is nigh on impossible, or perhaps there's a bootable cd that can be used to remap keys or something.
Please help it's driving me nuts! have fun dave |

Please always ask "auntie G" before posting on forums. |
Maybe you could borrow an external keyboard to make the change in Linux.

You could activate SSH on this laptop and log in from another computer and block the "/" key like that ("nano" is a commandline text editor that could be used) (I'd try to remap it to 0 and see if the key is "blocked"). Since you most likely log in into a desktop (not the commandline), remapping the key only for X should solve the problem.

I always do ask google, sometimes my choice of keywords lets me down though...
Thanks for the responses, I'm sure they'll help. |
