Hi!

My delete key does not work in ubuntu, it does nothing. I understand that this is a common problem, but I could solve it with the information I found elsewhere.

I ran xev. Pressing the 'a' key gives:

KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
    root 0x1a6, subw 0x0, time 7255643, (-113,-107), root:(425,300),
    state 0x2010, keycode 38 (keysym 0x61, a), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (61) "a"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Pressing 'Delete' gives:

FocusOut event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

FocusIn event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor

KeymapNotify event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  2   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0

From there I don't know what to do. Help?
