   I have two main systems that I update regularly: Debian Sid and   
   Arch.   
      
   On Debian Sid, a lot of the time when the update (via the aptitude   
   front-end) starts downloading packages, a failure prompt pops up.   
   I hit OK a couple of times, go again, and it eventually succeeds.   
   Why?   
      
   On Arch, I run "pacman -Syu". Afterwards, it sometimes happens   
   that the Caps-Lock key, which I use as Ctrl, reverts to being   
   Caps-Lock.   
      
   I have a little script I use to reset things:   
      
       xset b 20 4000 20   
       xset mouse 2 200   
       xset r rate 300 90   
       setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps   
       xmodmap -e "pointer = default"   
       killall xbindkeys   
       xbindkeys   
       xcape      # Left ctrl release --> Esc
