shift:both_capslock disables normal shift behavior

I set the xkb option shift:both_capslock (because I also use caps:escape) but this seems to have disabled the normal behavior of the shift key. How can I get that normal behavior back while still allowing the double press.



I used to do this in gnome, but I am trying out sway.






linux x11 xkb

  • I'm having the same issue, and an examination of xev suggests pressing shift produces a Shift_L key press event, and a Caps_Lock key release event (!). Does this seem to be the same behavior you've encountered?

  • @gandalf3 Due to this and some other issues I switched back to gnome so I cannot test. Thanks for the xev output though!

            Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
