I am never using Caps Lock, it is pressed only by mistake. How can I fully disable it? Preferably during system start, so login menu will be also affected.

setxkbmap -option caps:none disables Caps Lock. To make it pernament it is necessary to add this command to autostart.

To do this in Lubuntu go to start menu, select "Preferences", run "Default Applications for LXSession". Then go to tab "Autostart" and add this command using "Manual autostarted application".

It disables Caps Lock on login, unfortunately it is not disabling Caps Lock on entering username and password on logging in.
