Public bug reported: I'm in a fresh install of Lubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (three days ago).
Because the default greeter for Lubuntu (lightdm-gtk-greeter) doesn't fit my requeriments, i installed pantheon-greeter from the Elementary-OS repository (only essentials deb files, not installing the PPA repository) and one of the requeriments of pantheon-greeter is numlockx. The greeter is working like should be, but when i start a session, the numlock is on after the greeter, and my notebook doens't have it, making keys JKLUIO -> 123456 respectively and so on, having to turn off manually every time. This can't be a problem with pantheon-greeter because if i config again to use lightdm-gtk-greeter, is happening again. Since i install pantheon-greeter (and its dependency numlockx) it's happening in all greeters. The problem is can't configure it. In /etc/lightdm/pantheon-greeter.conf "activate-numlock=false" do nothing, in /etc/lxdm/default.conf is unchanged as default (## uncomment and set to set numlock on your keyboard ↲ # numlock=0) and change it do nothing, and any other option (/etc/xdg/autostart/*, /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart, ...) and everything i searched in internet simply do nothing. I'm talking about numlockx because i know it's numlockx what is invoked for something, i created a dummy script replacing /usr/bin/numlockx what make a registry of what program is calling numlockx and always is "/bin/bash /usr/sbin/lightdm-session /usr/bin/lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE" after greeter login. ----- $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Release: 14.04 $ apt-cache policy lightdm lightdm: Instalados: 1.10.5-0ubuntu1 Candidato: 1.10.5-0ubuntu1 Tabla de versión: *** 1.10.5-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.10.0-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main i386 Packages $ apt-cache policy lxsession lxsession: Instalados: 0.4.9.2+git20140410-0ubuntu1.2 Candidato: 0.4.9.2+git20140410-0ubuntu1.2 Tabla de versión: *** 0.4.9.2+git20140410-0ubuntu1.2 0 500 http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.4.9.2+git20140410-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe i386 Packages $ apt-cache policy numlockx numlockx: Instalados: 1.2-5 Candidato: 1.2-5 Tabla de versión: *** 1.2-5 0 500 http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: lightdm 1.10.5-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-33.44~14.04.1-generic 3.16.7-ckt7 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-33-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.8 Architecture: i386 CurrentDesktop: LXDE Date: Fri Apr 3 14:21:32 2015 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-03-31 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 14.04.2 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release i386 (20150218.1) LightdmGreeterLogOld: ** (lightdm-gtk-greeter:3753): WARNING **: Failed to load user image: No se ha podido abrir el archivo «/home/thywalls/.face»: No existe el archivo o el directorio ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=es_ES PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: lightdm UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440057 Title: numlockx is always invoked and i can't switch off Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm in a fresh install of Lubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (three days ago).
