Title:
  Could not switch uppercase/lowercase by using keyboard of laptop

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  1. Fresh install ubuntu server 22.04.1 on Lenovo server.
  2. Install console-data package 
  3. Get locale status: 
  # localectl status
     System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
         VC Keymap: n/a
        X11 Layout: us
         X11 Model: pc105
  4. Fail to ist and set keymap with command "localectl", but the kmap file can be found in the /usr/share./keymaps/
  #localectl list-keymaps 
  Failed to read list of keymaps: No such file or directory 
  # localectl set-keymap us
  Failed to set keymap: Keymap us is not installed.
  # find /usr/ -name us.kmap.gz
  /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.kmap.gz 
  5. It need type "CapsLock" twice when want to switch uppercase/lowercase by using keyboard of laptop, not once, the other keyboard has no issue about it.
  # dumpkeys | grep -E "keymaps|58"
  keymaps 0-127
  keycode  58 = CtrlL_Lock 
  6. It can switch uppercase/lowercase normally after run command "loadkeys us".

  Please help check why need type twice "CapsLock" for switching uppercase/lowercase and how to fix it.
