numberlock activation

Post by faeychild
I have no number lock after boot
I have set number lock on in settings > keyboard
I have also checked keyboard >> advanced > numeric keypad always enters
digits
And I have /etc/sddm.cong
InputMethod=
[Users]
HideShells=/sbin/nologin,/bin/false,/usr/sbin/nologin,/bin/true
HideUsers=mysql,apache,mldonkey
Numlock=on
RememberLastSession=false
RememberLastUser=true
They are the three setting I know of
And still no number lock

I have not messed with any of the above, but I did install the
numlock rpm, and enabled the numlock service.

It sounds like a paper chase, Bits. I have three settings that don't
work and numlock is a SERVICE!!??

I may have to give them a try. Thanks Bits

I also found a
numlock on
in my .bashrc file.

And speaking of x I use xterm as my terminal emulator.

The title of the setting is "numlock." There is usually a command
"numlock on" as Bits found. I would try adding it to .bashrc or
somewhere in the X11 config file. We always talk of X as the video
system, but the config file covers other things, such as keyboard, as well.

On my system, I couldn't find the numlock setting anywhere, yet it was
set. It was in the Gigabyte BIOS, under "System," near the top. The
setting is a toggle.

Have you tried the BIOS settings??

Bit Twister's suggestions sound good. I have
one older desktop replacement where the numlock is not
working and I wish I had read what he said before I
shut it down for the night.
Cool running.
bliss - already up too late.

Didn't know there was one in the Bios. Them number lock comes on during
bios but goes off after the kernel gets running

I have seen it in a few computers.

OK Numlock is a bios setting and it is on

So number lock requires at least four individual settings and it doesn't
work.
