My laptop has a big drawback, it does not have LED indicators for NumLock, ScrollLock or CapsLock. Its difficult to know if they are active or not, especially while typing passwords, where i keep typing the correct password and it does not let me in as my CapsLock is on and i'm unaware of it.
A relief is that Ubuntu has a separate applet which shows me whether my CapsLock is on or not. Indicator Keylock displays a small notification when you on or off lock keys while typing. It can be downloaded by typing these commands in the terminal.
