   Since I have a great collection of linux masters here, and for the sake of   
   conversation, did anyone ever have this in their journalctl?   
      
   "gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file"   
      
   It's just an annoying error but does not affect me in any meaningful way.   
   Would just be nice to be able to get rid of it.   
      
   As for keyboard, that is the weakness of my current Asus Expertbook B5.   
   One arrow key is broken and I have a feeling that within a month or two,   
   the E key will break as well.   
      
   My old consumer asus which by nos is about 5 years old, has no such   
   problems. On the other hand, the screen and battery are waaaay better on   
   the expertbook than the older consumer grade asus, so I guess there are   
   always tradeoffs. =/
