need a OSD for caplocks and flash issue [resolved]

Post by slinxy »

Hi
I just installed Gloria on to my netbook, and all is working well even the 3G card (well impressed). :D

But what I do need is an OSD to tell me when the caps lock is on as there's no led on the netbook. I also seem to have an issue in facebook poker; the only game I play, where the page wont display the table list. its just blank. I tried updating both firefox and flash playerbut no joy.

Thank you in advance...

As far as the caps lock:
sudo apt-get install lock-keys-applet

Your flash problem: Is there a problem with flash anywhere else or just this game? Have you tried installing gnash to replace the adobe version? I find it's much better on slower hardware to begin with.

thanks..

I tried installing lock keys applet but this is all a got:

Code: Select all

slinxy@HMs-NetBook ~ $ sudo apt-get install lock-keys-applet
[sudo] password for slinxy: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
lock-keys-applet is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 15 not upgraded.
slinxy@HMs-NetBook ~ $ 
and as a result nothing changed...
EDIT: its me, being a noob... lol I've added the applet to the taskbar now.

with the flash issue, on further investigation realised its not flash that's causing the issue but shockwave.
