Setting Compose key? also, NM password keyring question

Post by YAOMTC »

How could I set the Compose key to the left Windows key? I've found nothing on Google, nor on the Wiki, nor on these forums.

For reference:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key

I'm sure there's a way, I just don't know how.

Also, I have a question about this guide:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Net ... fter_login

Regarding this script,

Code: Select all

$!/bin/sh
 echo PASSWORD | /usr/bin/pam-keyring-tool --unlock --keyring=default -s
Would I put my password where it says "PASSWORD"? If so, that seems awfully insecure to have my password stored in a plaintext file. Or do I type the script verbatim?

Decided to edit my new question to this slightly older one instead of making a new thread.

Well, you're right, it's very insecure. You can change the rights, that only you can read this file. Helps a bit, but not a really good solution.

But is there a better way than that to have NetworkManager start up at boot without bringing up the wallet?

Also, I should mention -- when Arch Linux is booting, when it's at the "starting network" part (or something of that sort), it has a dhcpcd timeout.
