Still a problem with 11.10 release. Still a package to install and a(nother) config file to edit. Still not "new user" friendly. Still a boring moment to do it.
Choosing if numlock is on or off at startup is not important. Many want it and many others doesn't want it. What's important is to have the choice to choose between on and off. Actually you don't have the choice out of the box. I'm sure having numlockx installed + a toggle button in some "keyboard configuration panel" could be enough for many. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/632341 Title: Num Lock is not activated by default at GDM Status in GDM: The Gnome Display Manager: New Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Incomplete Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gdm This is a pretty trivial bug, but it may be a candidate for future a 100 papercuts cycle. I did try searching to see if it had been reported before, but couldn't find any - apologies if I've missed it! At present, NumLock isn't enabled when you go to log in to Ubuntu, so you have to manually enable it before entering numerical passwords on the number pad. While this isn't a critical issue, it is one that I feel should be fixed. I don't know anyone who uses the number pad for its arrows, and other OSs do enable NumLock by default. Additionally to achieve this behaviour at present requires installing the numlockx package, and manually editing /etc/gdm/Init/Default - which is clearly not appropriate for new users.
