One way you can do this is by typing in at the command line:

nano ~/.Xmodmap

Then add the following lines...

HOLD THE PRESSES!

YOU'RE RIGHT! IT WAS A NATTY KEYBOARD SHORTCUT that was the source of the problem.

Basically, you go change the previous ALT+Tab shortcut. I changed it to ALT+D temporarily. ...

OK, here is my output. Thanks

Hi, thanks alot!

OK, so after more investigating, the command keys are indeed now the ALT keys. But ALT+TAB is still not working.
But if in Firefox I press ALT+B I do get the bookmarks menu. ...

Thanks alot. I think that we're almost there. Everything works except my ALT keys.

It seems like I need to press both ALT keys in order for ALT to work at all. So a traditional ALT + TAB must be...

Here are my super keys:

Hi, thanks alot for your help. Here are my results:

I'm hoping to make the left alt key become a windows key (where windows + d minimizes everything in ubuntu; and windows w shows an 'expose'...

Hi,

Been reading alot about xmodmap, but I'm still a bit unclear.

My sole goal is to do the following on a macbook pro keyboard:

make the Alt_L key windows key (I think it's a Super_L)
make...

If i wish to swap the left control with the left alt, is this possible? I am able to swap the keycodes, and xev shows that the keys have been swapped, but actually nothing has changed. Is there...

[QUOTE=BlueDragonX;10889524]I've not been able to reproduce either of these issues. How are you holding your fingers? I need to know how much pressure (roughly) you're putting on the pad, how close...

I haven't gotten around to trying fix the fan issue.

However, compared to a macbook pro, the x220 is so much more stable and works out of the box. I can confirm that much at least. For whatever...

Thanks for the tips. Can someone tell me which folders in addition to the home folder that I will need in order to save my preferences?

In other words, do I need to back up /etc? /sys? /var?...

Anyone know? Obviously I'm trying the low-level way of remapping command to control for my macbook pro.
Currently, the command keys are mapped to the windows key (super key, I think). Is that...

Hi,

I've tried: back in time, deja-dup, simplebackup, and none of them complete successfully. On two different macs installed with natty.

What I want to do is to copy my / (my entire hard...

Hi,

Yes, you are understanding my problem. I do not see how you got the command keys, the two keys immediately to the left and to the right of the keyboard, to both become control keys. Am I...

This is a known problem, at least I have noticed this. When you tap with your thumbs, the pointer jumps all over the place.

I don't consider multitouch working on these buttonless trackpads in...

Thanks, but this only partially works.

What I want (and others) is for the command keys to be a control key, exactly like it is on a mac. And then the alt keys to remain alt keys.

The problem...

Ah, server is working again and I downloaded 0.2 deb files.

My impressions are that all is well except for two issues out of the box:

Hi,

When backing up ubuntu, is backing up my home folder enough? My goal is to not only save my docs, music, videos, etc, but also to save my preferences, thunderbird mail & preferences, etc,...

Any documentation on how to compile using autoconf and automake for those who are not familiar with these tools?

Does anyone have a natty-specific tutorial on remapping the command keys to be the control keys on a macbook pro?

I changed my keyboard model to a macbook pro and it doesn't seem like anything...

Hi,

I have a macbook pro with an Nvidia 9600m gt card. default colors look nothing like they do on my mac.
I would like to calibrate the colors.

How would one do this in Ubuntu? I have...

Hi Jerrycal,

Thanks alot! I'm retarded. gksudo nautilus absolutely worked.

If I can squeeze another piece of advice from you--is it possible to write to the mac partition as well?

Hi jerrycal,

Could you go into more detail please?
