I have this issue with my Lenovo Thinkpad W500. The numlock light is not on and they keys do not register as numbers, but the warning remains.
If I put numlock on (and the light goes on) it works as it should. However it warns me when numlock is not on, that it is on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841541 Title: "num lock is on" warning remains even after num lock is turned off Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Version: 3.1.5-0ubuntu6 Release: 11.10 After fiddling with Num Lock, I noticed that the lock window claimed it was still enabled, and yet it is not. Sequence of events: * Turn on Num Lock. * Lock the screen. (On a ThinkPad, I do this by pressing Fn+F2. Whatever option it is that means "lock the screen immediately", I have it turned on.) * Tap a key to bring up the screen-locked/enter-password dialog. * Observe the warning. * Turn off Num Lock. * Observe the warning is still there. * Successfully unlock the screen. * Lock the screen again. * Observe the warning is still there. * [Optional] Unlock the screen. File a bug against gnome-screensaver. Not related to bug #835649, which concerns showing the warning when Num Lock is enabled but not otherwise problematic, e.g. when using a "full-size" (i.e. "has lots of extra keys") keyboard.
