How do I 'unlock' a key in Ubuntu? I have a problem with the location of the print screen key on this keyboard, it's far to close to the backspace key. I am constantly hitting it, and just want to turn the bloody thing off. Can I do this in Linux?

You mean you want to disable that key?
Just change your keyboard layout.

System>preferences>keyboard shortcuts. You can find print key in there right column. Blank the key and you wont screen cap.

You shouldnt. Linux presents a lot to learn.
