Troubleshooting

Increase Failed auth Lockout Attempts

CachyOS will lockout a user for 10 minutes on 3 failed password attempts over 15 minutes.

Expressed as sudo not working with valid password or unable to login to the system.

/etc/security/faillock.conf

0644 root:root

deny = 5
fail_interval = 300
unlock_time = 600

Caps lock as Control

Override caps lock for keyboards that do not remap caps lock key.

/etc/default/keyboard

0644 root:root

XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:nocaps"

For current session.

localectl set-x11-keymap us pc105 ,query ctrl:nocaps

Reboot to apply.

⌘ ➔ System Settings ➔ Input & Output

• Mouse & Touchpad (All devices)
