I don't have a solution but i have something that turn on the numlock when you
change layout (it's stupid, but works for me).
follow the steps below:
1)mkdir ~/keyfix ; cd ~/keyfix
2)open a file show_layout.sh and copy and paste this: " setxkbmap -print |
grep xkb_symbols | awk '{print $4}' | awk -F"+" '{print $2}' " (without the
first and the last ")
3)open a file keyfix.sh and copy and paste this:
s=0
s1=0
while test "1" == "1"
do
s=`$HOME/keyfix/show_layout.sh`
sleep 0.001s
if test "$s" != "$s1"
then
numlockx off
numlockx on
#if test "$s" == "alt_layout"
#then
#xset led named "Scroll Lock"
#else
#xset -led named "Scroll Lock"
#fi
fi
s1=`$HOME/keyfix/show_layout.sh`
if test "$s" != "$s1"
then
numlockx off
numlockx on
#if test "$s" == "alt_layout"
#then
#xset led named "Scroll Lock"
#else
#xset -led named "Scroll Lock"
#fi
fi
sleep 0.01s
done
********************
if you want to turn on scroll lock when you use alternative layout, remove the
#'s and change alt_layout to your alternative layout i.e. "gr" or "us"
**************************
3)open a file disown_easy.sh and copy and paste this:
#!/bin/bash
$1 &
P=`which $1`
disown `pidof ${P}`
4)open a file run-keyfix and copy and paste this:
$HOME/keyfix/disown_easy.sh $HOME/keyfix/keyfix.sh
5) open a terminal and type:
chmod +x ~/keyfix/* ; sudo cp ~/keyfix/run-keyfix /usr/bin/
6)make the script run-keyfix to run on startup! (go to startup applications and
add it)
THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION! THIS IS A STUPID FIX!
*don't use these scripts to make weapons!

Title:
NumLock turned off on layout switch
Status in X.Org X server:
Confirmed
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Extracting from bug 1218322, confirmed there by multiple users:
When switching the keyboard layout using a shortcut (such as
Alt+Shift), NumLock functionality is (mostly) turned off. More
precisely: it goes into an inconsistent state where pressing numpad 5
inserts the digit 5, but the other numpad keys move the cursor.
Pressing the NumLock key turns it off completely (pressing numpad 5 no
longer does anything), and pressing once again turns it on.
This means that if someone prefers to have the NumLock functionality
switched on all the time, they have to press the NumLock key twice
after each layout change. I find this a huge usability problem.
(I don't have a LED, so I cannot tell how that one is lit.)
The bug is not present when changing the layout via the indicator
applet.
