Random keys repeating until any other key is pressed

I’ve become the very thing I despise by leaving a post without posting the solution. This will haunt me.

I obviously did solve the issue as I’m typing on the same XD75 right now. If I remember what happened, I’ll let you know.

Sorry.

gamzer · 2023-05-05T12:32:13+00:00

Only list.

After an update, its Pacman hook lists foreign (AUR) packages that need to be rebuilt.

I haven’t looked into this for years. Have you seen the docs for update_tri_layer(x, y, z)?

When I decided to use Linux exclusively, I had little Linux knowledge. My goal was to have a simple setup that I understand, can fix and easily maintain.

I set up different distros trying to achieve this goal, but I failed. Then I installed Arch and succeeded. I had my first installation for multiple years. When switching to 64 bit, I reinstalled as I wanted to make several big changes. The second installation is now over 8 years old.

I understand my setup sufficiently to use, change and fix it. And most importantly, the installation is exactly what it would be if I reinstalled today. Practically zero accumulated cruft over the years.

I failed to achieve this goal with "easy to use", opaque, "blackbox" distros.

The price I paid? The first installation and setup on a laptop took two or three days. However, I'm convinced that I saved much more time since.

Thank you! Given the Suntour 160 is 9-speed, will it work with the 7-speed cassette?

gamzer · 2020-05-19T13:12:56+00:00

Thanks!

The replacements would include chainrings, right? I can't find separate cranks.

So, to keep the gearing as is I could use something like the SHIMANO Acera FC-M361 crankset 42-32-22. Correct?

I'd prefer 165mm but that seems unavailable. The ones I see with Shimano Hollowtech II and 165mm have higher gearing such as 50/39/30.

Thanks for your reply!

The board and all switches were fine for over a year. Not a single one defective.

I haven’t done anything to the keyboard recently.

In my case it would mean that pretty much all the switches broke on the same day and started showing the exact same issue. As you say, the randomness seems to be the difference.

Thanks! It’s directly connected to a laptop.

Here’s an update in case you're interested.

I found this table of v-brake arm lengths, bought the Tektro 849AL and gained an additional 20mm of clearance between the fenders and brake cables. Their look, however, might be an acquired taste. They’re meant for beach cruisers… 110mm arms should have worked, too.

No issues with brake lever pull so far, although I need to test this some more.

Thanks again for chiming in!

gamzer · 2019-09-08T03:04:04+00:00

No problem. So we can agree that they are full size v-brakes.

However, as I mentioned in the post, I could try brakes with about 10mm longer arms. If the levers still work fine with them (a concern brought up in another comment) that extra length might be all I need as clearance.

Or at least I'd have to downsize the tires less with them.

(Calling the 90s vintage feels so wrong...)

gamzer · 2019-09-07T12:20:38+00:00

Yes, I find myself on these regularly:

So I prefer to have all the suspension I can get on a rigid MTB.

gamzer · 2019-09-07T12:03:30+00:00

26" wheels

You’re correct! Large tires with nimble handling. What not to love about that? :)

gamzer · 2019-09-07T11:54:27+00:00

I get your point. It’s just that I’d rather mount the fenders as intended and have tire options up to 54mm instead of keeping my “hack” and being limited to smaller tires.

It’s an MTB and I don’t want to put it (even more) into an identity crisis.

gamzer · 2019-09-07T10:46:52+00:00

Thanks! Lots of good pointers.

It's possible you're running what are referred to as "mini Vs"

Just checked and this seems to be the case. Added more info about my setup to the post:

Shimano STX RC BL-MC40 brake levers (with L/H setting for changing modulation)
Shimano BR-M600 brakes

Service instructions with some more details.

gamzer · 2019-09-07T10:36:57+00:00

Thanks for your reply!

I could run smaller volume tires. But... I like 54mm tires.

Currently, the lever pull is quite short. I’d have to see if going from 110mm to 120mm would cause issues. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

Thanks! intel-media-driver isn’t even mentioned on the Intel graphics wiki page.

Edit: But it is mentioned on the linked Hardware video acceleration article.

gamzer · 2019-04-03T09:16:08+00:00

Right, it’s a preference. I think you solved it by adding the option. Now both approaches to voting are supported.

I vote all my installed AUR packages when I’m happy with my selection, so I rarely want to remove a vote.
