Numeric keypad not working on Gnome lock screen
Hi, Recently the numeric keypad stopped working on the Gnome lock screen. When booting, the numlock is in the 'off' state and I can simply turn it on by pressing the numlock key'. When I lock the screen (Super+L), the numlock light is still on, but pressing a number activates the second function (arrow, pg up, etc.), I can get numbers by holding the 'shift' key, but not by setting the numlock in either ON of OFF. Any help in fixing this is appreciated. Kinds regards, Steven PS: please keep me in CC, as I'm not subscribed to the mailing list. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Is your keypad working correctly everywhere outside the lock screen? Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Yes, although it is off by default, except after logging into Gnome. The problem only exists with the lock screen, it works normally on the login screen (gdm3). > > Kind regards, > Andrei Regards, Steven signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Such dialog boxes are kind of special, e.g. to prevent other programs from stealing the focus. This seems to suggest a bug/feature in Gnome/GTK libraries. You might want to check the upstream bug reports. Hope this helps, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser signature.asc Description: PGP signature
