Same problem here while using Xubuntu 11.10. The usual tweaks do (briefly) light the numlock led upon login, but then the led goes off and numlock stays off.
By 'usual tweaks' I mean: 1. sudo apt-get install numlockx 2. followed by: either: (cd ~/.config/autostart;ln -s $(which numlockx)) or: printf "[Desktop Entry]\nVersion=1.0\nType=Application\nName=numlockx\nExec=/usr/bin/numlockx\nStartupNotify=false\nTerminal=false\nHidden=false\n" > "$HOME/.config/autostart/numlockx.desktop" -- 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/835532 Title: lightdm does not keep numlock status on boot Status in Light Display Manager: Triaged Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric: Won't Fix Bug description: when booting or logging out, the numlock status 'on' is not kept for password or pin input via numpad.
