Capslock indicator on Login -Gnome 3

Post by fmadriano4 »

Hi everyone,

I just installed Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon as dual boot OS with Windows 10 on a Thinkpad x270, 64-bit system. After weeks of playing around with Cinnamon, I installed and I am now using GNOME 3.28.2 desktop environment. My PC has Intel HD Graphics 620 (Kaby Lake GT2). My problem using GNOME 3 is during user login, there is no caps lock indicator. But once I managed to login, the indicator is working even when I lock the desktop;the caps lock indicator works when I enter my password to re-open my desktop. I encountered this same problem when I first used Mint with Cinnamon desktop environment but I was able to find a fix in google. But in Gnome 3, the closest I found in google is that this issue (in gnome and ubuntu 17) is an identified bug. I hope the community can advise me with the simplest, most effective solution. I am not an IT person so I would appreciate less geeky terminologies. :)

Thanks in advance.

Checked the hyperlinked and installed the extensions but issue still persist; capslock indicator still does not appear during initial logon using the gnome desktop environment.
