<OT> That calls to mind an old war story from decades ago. User complains that his password doesn't work when he's standing up, only when he's sitting down. After much head-scratching, it turns out that a couple of keycaps had been switched. When seated, the user would touch-type his password, but when standing he would be looking at the keys. I always liked that one :-) </OT> poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
