I cannot type the caret character '^' in native KDE apps, such as plasmoids, editors (Kate, KWrite), etc.

It worked in previous (older) versions of KDE (3.5, I think). I believe it may be related to the fact that I'm using a keyboard with a german layout, however, it would seem farfetched - I can type the caret character just fine in non-KDE apps (such as chrome, firefox, etc).

I tried switching keyboard layouts, but no cigar. What's going on? What do I have to change to get the caret character back?

Disable Ethernet permanently to speed up boot time

I do not use the wired Ethernet Card. It seems to me that, Ubuntu is always trying in boot time to check the network via eth0, Which consumes some times and I guess this may slow down the boot process a bit.
