| Subject | Plymouth theme with Caps Lock indication. |
| Message-ID | <qj4nw-2GQ-15@gated-at.bofh.it> |
Hello, I hava a laptop with encrytped FS, thus at boot I must enter the decryption password. However, the keyboard does not have a led for caps-lock indication, so I am looking for a way to see it at this very early stage (ie before boot). Is there a plymouth theme with this indication ? Thank you

Is that such a problem? At worst, you'll have to retype it.

You'll just to have to make extra sure you don't press it then, since there doesn't seem to be a Plymouth theme with the capability you describe. Unless you want to write it.. ;)

This actually sounds like a good feature to have, but there doesn't seem to be much interest as it has been suggested before: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/608954 -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5
