[lubuntu] Change Right-Alt to act as Left

Calendar August 30, 2013 | Posted by admin
Hi there. I’m currently running Lubuntu 12.04. I have recently bought a Logik keyboard from PC World that for some reason does not have a regular Left Alt key. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this. Why does a brand new keyboard not have an Alt key?
Basically, I’m looking for a quick fix to switch my Right Alt to function as Left. I do not need a third level modifier key as I only just about speak/type English as my one and only language so I can’t see me needing any ‘backwards R’s’ anytime soon.
Cheers in advance.

[ubuntu] No disk space left, deleting files doesn’t free space

Calendar June 13, 2011 | Posted by admin
A process filled the HDD while performing a kernel upgrade. I then couldn’t graphically log in although there was a gui login (but not the normal one, the theme was different)
I attempted to delete files but whenever I rm’ed a file it didn’t seem to show up as freeing up space when I checked with df.
I even logged in as root on tty1 as well as using the failsafe kernel.
Each time my attempt to free space by deleting files didn’t seem to work.
Why couldn’t I rm files? Is there a solution?

I "solved" the problem by changing the reserved space for root (tune2fs) to give myself some space to work. I then was able to graphically log into Gnome and delete some files and free up some space. I then put my reserve space for root back so I have a way out in the future.
However I’m a little concerned as to how I’d have solved this problem had I not had the reserve space trick up my sleeve.
Thoughts & suggestions appreciated.
