All The best .
Dont miss anything even it is small. one small pin is enough to bring down a man.
#1 doesn't work because i'm running 64 bit
1. already installed
- Install the missing dependencies. In a terminal : sudo apt-get install indicator-appmenu appmenu-gtk appmenu-qt
- Install the app menu : download this deb and open it with the software center
- Enable app menu for firefox and thunderbird. In a terminal : sudo apt-get install appmenu-gtk3 firefox-globalmenu thunderbird-globalmenu
- Right-click on an empty part of the top XFCE panel and choose Panel > Add New Items > App Menu plugin

2. doesn't install (only for i386)
3. already installed
4. because 2 doesn't install -- not available
the "omgubuntu"
have tried this before
that doesn't work either this is xubuntu 11.10
If I could get gnome panel applets to install I could install "lock-keys-applet"W: Failed to fetch ppa.launchpad.net/tsbarnes/indicator-keylock/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found

this is extremely basic ... a large percentage of machines don't come with a caps lock light

impossible ...
there is an indicator
doesn't work for 4.8 xfce
there is a python hack to get round this
I sense that people will be ditching xubuntu xfce as we speak because of such a basic omission

the python code for a custom applet to run once a second look for caps lock and display
doesn't work right away
I changed it a bit
person who wrote it has put in the path name but hasn't got the png workign (picture, traffic light) for the applet
no idea also - no time to bother
could be changed to get the png working -- I have just put two asterisks up to alert caps lock on
further addition would be for num lock symbol
ugly - called every second (genmon applet) which is "custom python applet"
but at least I have a caps lock indicator
from http://blog.treellama.org/2011/01/genmon-numlockpy.html
#!/usr/bin/python
indicator="Caps Lock"
text = ""
on_icon="**"
off_icon=""
#on_icon = "/usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/status/16/available.png"
#off_icon = "/usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/status/16/invisible.png"

def GetIndicatorState(name):
state = c_bool(False)
libX11 = CDLL("libX11.so")
display = libX11.XOpenDisplay(0)
atom = libX11.XInternAtom(display, name, c_bool(False))
libX11.XkbGetNamedIndicator(display, atom, 0, byref(state), 0, 0)
libX11.XCloseDisplay(display)
return state.value
if GetIndicatorState(indicator):
print("" + on_icon + "")

I would suggest using LXPanel, myself (if I had that problem). Meanwhile, this problem has made the wishlist.

Another way of doing it is installing:
http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-kbdleds-plugin/
You need to compile it, the dependencies i lacked on a default xubunu oneiric ocelot 11.10, where intltool, libxfce4ui-1, xfce4-panel-dev, and xorg-dev
they all install whit:
uncompress the plugin to some folder, and on a terminal executeCode:sudo apt-get install intltool libxfce4ui-1-dev xfce4-panel-dev xorg-dev
you need to change the prefix by hand, this is a bug from xfce4-panel. If you get some error its probably some other dependency its not fulfilled, ask around.Code:./config --prefix=/usr
then you run in the same folder:
this will install the plugin and then you can add it to your panel :)Code:make && sudo make install

I have canonical enabled (software source)
Is this the one you said you got through synaptic (because I can't see it there either ... the compile requires that specific package) ... rhin0 from freenode here
./configure --prefix=/usr works (not ./config)uncompress the plugin to some folder, and on a terminal executeCode:./config --prefix=/usr
