If you really need a UK keyboard, one option would be to plug in an
external USB UK keyboard. It would also give you perhaps more keys and
bigger keys, but you might also then need to plug in a USB mouse/trackpad.

Thanks, Matthew, that worked perfectly. I have saved it in a script so
that I can mount the NAS from the CLI when I need to use it, and have
full read-write access.

I have samba, smbfs, and gadmin-samba installed.
I also tried switching off the NAS and then on again, and then mounting
it again.
How can I gain read-write access to my files on the NAS?

Thanks for the reply. I recognise some of the podcast titles as Doctor
Who episodes, I guess some of the others are from very old episodes I
have long forgotten.

Interesting podcast, entertaining as usual.
However, I did not hear any references to the Stolen Earth, which title
I assume you took from a recent Doctor Who episode. But no mention of
the Doctor or the Daleks...
I wonder what a Dalek running on Ubuntu would be like?

That's all the more reason for people to switch to a free alternative
like Ubuntu.

I have not lost any settings this way nor any virtual machines.
