And yet another problem with Fedora-21... When I press my Shift keys quickly a few times (which I often do unconsciously while thinking about what to type), I get a notification that "sticky keys have been enabled". I then get a lot of odd keyboard effects such as every word typed being capitalized or the keyboard acting like the control key is permanently pressed. Googling seems to indicate this is an old problem going back to the mid-2000's. I tried one of the solutions I found: install xkbset and run "xkbset -a" at login time via Application Autostart tab in the Settings and Startup dialog (this is Xfce). That seemed to work for a while but the problem's come back. The auto-startup setting is still there, still enabled. While I was typing this, something called "slow keys became enabled making it impossible to continue typing this message until I logged out and back in again. None of the options in the accessibility applet are enabled (I'm pretty sure, having worked around the problem of dialogs not showing checkmarks). What do I need to do to permanently put a stake in the throat of this nasty little Sticky Keys virus? <rant> I seldom rant in public but I've got to say that installing Fedotra-21 was the worst experience I have ever had installing Linux (in terms of the endless amount of brokeness) -- and I have been using Redhat going back to the 3.x days (that's *Redhat*, not Redhat Enterprise; not Fedora). I don't think it is me. I did a pretty plain vanilla install and except for some of the usual audio/video stuff from rpmfusion, am using packages straight out of the Fedora-21 repo. Plain vanilla hardware that ran Fedora-15 fine for several years. Has Fedora become too focused on release schedules and lost interest in quality control? Or are all these problems coming from xfce? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
