[Bug 1398008] Re: "Caps. Lock" LED keyboard indicator not working

 

Hello Christopher; unfortunately, due to very low performance of Unity,
I had to get rid of Ubuntu Trusty and install Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS on
my laptop. It performs much better than the other, so I think I'll stick
with it from now on.

I'm not aware if both editions share the same keyboard driver, but I can
surely tell you that so far using Ubuntu GNOME I haven't experienced any
issue with the keyboard again.

Does that help? I hope so my friend. Thanks!
