Today, in our Linux Page, we posted a brief tip (in Spanish) about Ctrl+Alt+Backspace function and how to activate it by default. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is very useful when you want to change your user or restart Xorg without shutting down your PC. To activate the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace function it is necessary to launch the Terminal and type:
$ sudo aptitude install dontzap -y
and, to activate the keyboard, just:
$ sudo dontzap -disable (yes, it is strange but -disable- is the right command)

Is it have to be online to do it or can be done in offline mode?
sudo dontzap –disable
is the correct command (ubuntu 9.04).
Thanks for a great tip!
hmmm. There where supposed to be two minus signs before “disable”, but i guess this blog software doesn’t allow that.
