Ubuntu 9.04 Keyboard Mapping Problem on Tight VNC

After logged in to VNC server, I get problem with the keyboard mapping on Ubuntu 9.04. When I type "abcdefghij" I get "asdfghjkl;". After searching on Google, the problem was submitted as a bug and the work around is by adding:

export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1

In VNC’s xstartup file:  $HOME/.vnc/xstartup

You have to add the line export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1 before /etc/X11/Xsession or gnome-session (in case you use GNOME)

Install Tight VNC Server on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope

Previously I installed TightVNC server on Ubuntu 8.10 which I posted the tutorial here. Today I setup a new Virtual Private Server (VPS) with Ubuntu 9.04 installed (still haven’t got Ubuntu9.10 Xen template, so I didn’t install the latest version).

(Note: before you install TightVNC you have to install a window manager first, I use GNOME and the tutorial I wrote before is still working on Ubuntu 9.04, you can read it here)

no_pubkey apt-get update

I just installed a virtual machine using Ubuntu linux and got NO_PUBKEY error messages when tried to update my Ubuntu installation using "apt-get update" command. To fix this you'll need to install some gpg key:

gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv 9AA38DCD55BE302B
gpg --export --armor 9AA38DCD55BE302B | apt-key add -
