I'm posting this because I'm having a slight inconvenience about caps lock and num lock's status leds. I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 (5.15.0-60) on my laptop. I can confirm that it's no hardware fault since those leds work correctly under Windows.
Here's what's inside "/sys/class/leds":
input20::capslock input20::numlock input22::compose input22::scrolllock
input20::compose input20::scrolllock input22::kana phy0-led
input20::kana input22::capslock input22::numlock
I verified that when I press caps lock, both "input20::capslock/brightness" and "input22:capslock/brightness" get set to 1 (the same goes for num lock).
When I run "xset -q" i get:
Keyboard Control:
auto repeat: on key click percent: 0 LED mask: 00000003
XKB indicators:
00: Caps Lock: on 01: Num Lock: on 02: Scroll Lock: off

DPMS (Energy Star):

Monitor is On
But the led never lights up. I double checked with "kbdinfo gkbled" and I get:
scrolllock:off numlock:off capslock:off
So it looks like xset thinks the led is on but kbdinfo says otherwise.
If you have any insights on how to solve this it would be greatly appreciated.
