How can I switch input language with CapsLock on Ubuntu 18.04? For some reason when I try to set CapsLock as a switching key it enables Caps, but doesn't set it as switching language key.



When this window is open and I press Caps, the LED light switches on and off. But the key isn't registered.



Set key combination for language switching



Update: As explained in the linked post, you have to use Gnome Tweak Tool to change these settings.



sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool

    @DavidFoerster I think it's helpful for visitors and reviewers to know that something worked for OP. If it can't be an answer (because of closure) then that information being somewhere makes more sense than it being nowhere, imho. (Also, in some cases the author of a duplicate question won't have the ability to upvote the target or its answers)

    @PocketSam: A small tip for program output and screenshots in future questions: you can make most programs print English messages by prefixing the command with LC_MESSAGES=POSIX, e. g. LC_MESSAGES=POSIX free. Works the same for graphical applications. With super-user privileges you need sudo LC_MESSAGES=POSIX apt ... or gksudo env LC_MESSAGES=POSIX synaptic (for graphical applications).

pylint3 and pip3 broken

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I have tried sudo apt remove --purge on various packages. I get the same when I reinstall. I have also tried reinstall using aptitude. This does not work.

How to enroll fingerprints to Ubuntu 17.10 with VFS491

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I decided to switch from Windows to Ubuntu 17.10, I meet it like 8 years ago and I didn't decided to switch until now (haha). Well, my actual device is an HP Probook 4540s with a Validity fingerprint sensor (VFS491). The fingerprint sensor worked fine on Windows but I can't get it to work in Ubuntu. The device is recognized as 138a:003d but is not detected as a fingerprint scanner by some apps like Fingerprint GUI. I want to use the fingerprint scanner to log in into my user account in Ubuntu but it doesn't supports fingerprints without special software and the drivers of the fingerprint scanner are available for Windows but not for any Linux distribution. I found something on GitHub (https://github.com/eekpie/libfprint) about the integration of the VFS491 in libfprint and I think it can help but I don't know what to do with it, so that's why I need the help of the community to do it since I am...
