Dang, sorry to read about your ban. By the way, I think it is Keysharp that is causing the problem because it seems to be working just fine when I have that app disabled. I do like it a lot though, so I'll keep tinkering and finding some way to possibly try to get both of them to work concurrently. It uses Microsoft's .NET 10 runtime, but the latest versions have been having issues on my PC, so I've been going without Keysharp, and the Caps Lock reconfiguration is working flawlessly, haha. Thanks for your patience!

Wonderful day! Yes, thank you! I got the notification for the edit! Marvelous Lemmy!

The main idea is that it feels like a keyboard layout system service executes after your initial script and hence you notice no difference.

I am sorry, but I am not sure I'll be able to support the case at this moment, or at least a week, thoughtfully enough to be supportive, considering the job and time availability... I am sorry...

Meanwhile, have you considered responding in the forum above that restarting the services, after editing the file, and select the option, do not affect the key events processing?

Also, have you tried clarifying with other experienced people at IRC? Some networks, as Libera (most people from Freenode) and OFTC, may have those who have more time right now, and possibly had your very case, too?:
- https://libera.chat/guides/clients#terminal-clients
- https://www.oftc.net/
- https://netsplit.de/channels/?chat=mint

I've been known on Libera with a nickname as Lore (e.g., channel #linux), but they banned me again, long ago, unfortunately, for trying to protect myself against trolls... so please be careful! Yet, there are indeed truly ingenious, incredibly people!
Oh! Please also consider sharing the solution when found!

literally just disable firefox notifications.

youre pissing yourself over nothing

My guess is Firefox is set up for notifications and Mint is set up to display Firefox notifications. Turn them off in FF if you don't want them at all, or turn off FF notification in mint.

I can't help with your first two points, but for Conky you can check out the Arch wiki as a start.

The wiki also has additional links like this one at the bottom that might help you figure it out.

There is a program working on that also takes a long time to fully stop.
I will probably come around and troubleshoot that issue too, after fixing some of the bigger problems in it.

Maybe @FiniteBanjo@programming.dev has lots of those programs?

Wow, I had no idea that CSP was that powerful. Interesting. And yeah, dang, that's a lot of update hassles to have to endure...

Sincere apologies! Apparently, the mapping was in my dated local custom build of the tool...
Have you tried recording the general xev (with no , without any explicit filtering?

Your xev build/Man/Info message should list the supported. For example, in v1.2.3, these are supported:

$ man xev;
# ...
-event event_mask  
When not specified, all events are selected... Available event masks: keyboard mouse expose visibility structure substructure focus property colormap owner_grab_button randr button

Yet, today we found the actual possible culprit, and monitoring the events is probably not required. We know that it will just change, and the issue source should be a separate whole system-wide service that changes your initial change to its own configured, eventually.

There are many custom key remapping tools, including keyd, but I would try realizing/experiment with the standards first, and I appreciate you for still trying! It may help you in the future.

1. Let me tell you what the breaking point actually was: I only ever really had to restart for updates which I would push back until a monthly schedule. Last time I tried to update, though, the update actually failed, so I wasted not just 1 hr 40 minutes but multiple days of work, trying and failing to fix the issue.

2. Yeah, actually, it's got the ability to create perspective rulers with snapping, and you can import custom and rigged FBX models which align to the chosen perspective. It's also got a timeline for animation. It also has a Comic Panel creation tool that renders layers in an adjustable box which saves a little bit of time compared to manually redrawing lines and filling the outside.

E: Unable to locate package yazi

It's okay, I guess; Nemo is good enough for now (and Nemo Compare is absolutely essential to resolving my Syncthing conflicts anyway)... but thanks for the find and idea.

xev: unrecognized event mask 'mapping'

I forgot to check these before already applying it... It's okay... I'll just tolerate it for now. I may try the other code later but am wiped out... Thanks for all the ideas, though.

1. How odd. I've never had any PC ever take more than 5 minutes to start. I'm really amazed that you were willing to wait anywhere near that long... It makes me wonder if the installation of a certain program or something caused it because this is my first time ever hearing this.

2. Is there something that Clip Studio Paint can do that GIMP, Pinta, etc. can't?

👌🤡👍

Not only was it a consistent issue on my Windows 10 LTSC but I had the same problem on my Windows 7 copy before that with no software or hardware in common between the two. If you search this issue online it's a very common issue and the reccomended fix is to Reinstall Everything from scratch.

THE WORKAROUND: Never ever restart. Send into Hibernation which saves the RAM into a drive and then turns the power off.

I need it for my work, though. As I mentioned, Clip Studio Paint does not build for Linux, it must be run in Wine, such as a Bottles app, which barely works at all and definitely didn't work until just a short while ago.

One day someone will issue a mea culpa when caught chatting shit on the internet but today is not that day.

That's a... really contradictory image; shouldn't he be instantly elevated to being a king with the vote indicator raising him up from beneath? We're not suicidal lol.

Oh, sweet, huh, nice. Thanks a ton for the research; I totally didn't think to go this route. I'll try it when I next can!

Update: So, @Artwork@lemmy.world (I don't know if this will notify you), unfortunately, I did get around to finally trying it but even though the XKB option is picked, it doesn't seem to actually do anything despite rebooting... but I sure appreciate you poking around and trying; I didn't even know that file existed or could be modified.

If I am not mistaken, Linux Mint settings service uses xkeyboard-config.

Would you mind to add "caps:return" to the list of supported keyboard options?

Yet, I've checked in a virtual machine online, and there's no such, apparently, indeed (sorry).
However, I believe it's possible to modify it manually in file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml, and I've tried quickly the following (after changes to the file, restart the csd-keyboard; e.g., by killing it). Would it work in your case (I would also try rebooting after)?:

Screenshot

a quick Google shows an option "Caps Lock acts as Return" in the desktop environment (DE) settings.

That's a figment. It doesn't exist. I had checked the list of possible reassignments and was furious that Enter is, like, literally the only reassignment that isn't in the list. I mean, unless something recently got added, it wasn't there a month ago. That'd be sweet if it is now...

I'm not at a PC right now but will check later, thanks.

1hr 40min

I cannot understand this; how can a machine of any kind take so long to boot, and how did you have the patience to wait more than 5-10 min? I would've deemed it unusable by then already.

What have you tried for compatibility? I know of WINE, Bottles (which seems to have oddly disappeared from the Software Manager), etc.

Hmm, I don't remember reading about this. Anyway, glad I'm off of Windows.

It's a process on Windows which runs periodically, and eats a bunch of CPU time.

What a petulant response to someone who was being very polite to you

You're the one who said 24/7

If you were off by even one order of magnitude, I'd say you have a point... But you were off by several orders of magnitude.

Not sure why it makes them autistic for checking your shit math.
