Description of problem: This package is missing in the new Mageia 8 :( Essential for laptops. Please make the package.
Thank you for the report. I wonder whether more Xfce-plugins have disappeared between M7 & M8. Just selecting around xfce4-kbdleds-plugin shows this: xfce4-genmon-plugin-4.0.2-1.mga7.src.rpm xfce4-hamster-plugin-1.7-1.mga7.src.rpm xfce4-hotcorner-plugin-0.0.2-1.mga7.src.rpm xfce4-kbdleds-plugin-0.0.6-9.mga7.src.rpm xfce4-linelight-plugin-0.1.7-10.mga7.src.rpm xfce4-mailwatch-plugin-1.2.0-8.mga7.src.rpm xfce4-mount-plugin-1.1.3-2.mga7.src.rpm xfce4-genmon-plugin-4.1.0-1.mga8.src.rpm xfce4-mailwatch-plugin-1.3.0-1.mga8.src.rpm xfce4-mount-plugin-1.1.5-1.mga8.src.rpm I have not taken the time to list & compare all such plugins between the two releases. Note also that in this small sample, the 'genmon' M7 plugin is more recent than the M8 version. Assigning this to Jani, his territory.

All plugins not ported to gtk3, including xfce4-kbdleds-plugin [1], were dropped when updating to xfce4-panel 4.15.2 as gtk2 support was dropped from this release. [1] https://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/xfce4-panel/current/SPECS/xfce4-panel.spec?revision=1692754&view=markup#l53
Thanks for the explanation and link. Not encouraging... Mészáros says > Essential for laptops Perhaps - but the plugin has apparently been dropped: https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins simply does not show it. You might try complaining on : irc://irc.freenode.net/#xfce https://forum.xfce.org/ I regret having to close this bug, since it not a Mageia issue, and has been dropped upstream.

Reopening as the bug was actually about packaging a fork from Github. https://github.com/oco2000/xfce4-kbdleds-plugin I'll check if we can include the fork.

Hi Jani, Lewis I am thankful. Although she took the laptop home, which I repaired, so I have no way to test it for a now, only later. But it will definitely be good. However, I would ask if the two packages I have created, the evolvotron and the doublecmd packages, can be included in this testing? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1t8i4R6LvK-AoyuMOsdpStKaG7FjHKB4h?usp=sharing Surely others else also would use it if knew about it. Thank You.
When you are able to install and test Jani's new packages, please do so. I have raised with the developers the matter of these two new packages that you have prepared; and hope that somebody will recruit you. I already said I have installed & tried them, and that they work. But they need to get into Mageia repositories.
The only currently-active MGA8 Xfce4 system I have is on Foolishness, my aging but still functional Dell Inspiron 5100. This is a 32-bit system, but should suffice. I checked on MCC, and indeed the kbdleds plugin was "missing." So, using qarepo, I downloaded the 32-bit packages listed in Comment 5. I went back to MCC, and the kbdleds plugin was now available, but I was surprised that it didn't pull up the panel update as a requirement. Undaunted, I used Mageia Update to get the panel updates first, and then I installed the kbdleds plugin. There were no installation issues. Naturally, I had to add the plugin to the existing panel before it would display. Capslock has its own key on Foolishness, and it worked with the plugin as it should. Numlock and scroll lock are both require the use of the Fn key with a function key. Numlock works, but scroll lock makes no change. However, the led doesn't come on, either and I don't see where it has any functionality at all anyway. Perhaps that's another plugin that's missing, or it could be a bad key on this aged keyboard. Or, after a little experimentation, perhaps it just means I don't know how to use scroll lock in Xfce. At any rate, there are no installation issues, and two of the three functions seem to work OK, so I'm going to send this on its way. Validating. Still needs an advisory.

I had to go out to the countryside to see the laptop because he couldn’t log in. Instead of Shift key, she pressed the Ctrl key, of course, that the capital letters didn't go. But if I was already there, I installed the xfce4-kbdleds-plugin package and it works perfectly fine. Thank You!
Advisory: ======================== Updated xfce4-kbdleds-plugin packages restore missing functionality xfce4-kbdleds-plugin was missing due to incomplete port to gtk3 and xfce4-panel was built without xfce4-kbdleds-plugin support. Thus, a gtk3 fork is available upstream now, we ship this now as a replacement.
