Does someone know if there is a caps lock indicator for 11.10. I am used to using "indicator-keylock" in 11.04. I have added the repository but appears is not supported in 11.10.

Package indicator-keylock is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

Thanks, the oneiric version is now release. Extremely helpful for a user with a notebook/netbook without a CAPS LOCK LED. – Gregory Cave Nov 10 '11 at 19:22

The ppa daily doesn't work, as of today (nov 1st), for oneiric. But you can use the natty version. To avoid a mix of natty and oneiric in the ppa, I decided to simply download the natty version that you may find at http://ppa.launchpad.net/tsbarnes/indicator-keylock-daily/ubuntu/pool/main/i/indicator-keylock/. You will also need 2 dependencies, easily found at http://packages.ubuntu.com

libdbusmenu-glib3_0.4.3-0ubuntu4

libnotify1_0.5.0-2ubuntu1

2 small deb files under 40 kb.

Once the 3 deb files installed, log out and back of your Gnome (Unity) session to enjoy the applet!
