indicator-keylock

On my Acer Aspire One 722, there is no indicator light for Caps Lock. I duckduckwent the problem, and found a lot of references to this small package developed for Ubuntu:

I couldn't find that, but wonder if one of you could and see if it will install on MX-14 b1.

I haven't installed it, but here's the directory with the prebuilt .deb packages http://ppa.launchpad.net/tsbarnes/indic ... r-keylock/

Thanks! The latest version throws up a libpango dependency error, but I will try some of the earlier ones when I have some time.

Thinking it might be a nice little addition to the CR since one of the targets of MX-14 are netbooks like mine.

EDIT: yep, the next one earlier (indicator-keylock_3.0.1-0~ppa0_i386.deb) will install with 4 extra packages. Going to try it on my laptop.

EDIT EDIT: excellent, now whenever caps lock or num lock is pressed, a small notification appears.

The Debianized source is there too, so Tim or Stevo should be able to build it for the CR.

That was a quick, easy one.
Indicator-numlock is now in the M12 Testing CR

[Jerry3904]

indicator-capslock, the most recent version--yeah!

Installed on MX-14 with no trouble, menu entry inserted that brings up a small helpful option box. Works perfectly.

Thanks.

indicator-keylock 3.0.1-2
That's the latest I saw.

[Jerry3904]

Yeah, I got un-lazy after the post and checked the list. Sorry...

See above for testing results.

That has been bugging me as well. Thanks for bringing it up Jerry and Kent for the location of the deb.
