Bizarre, we have also been hitting this dis-functioning Num-lock problem multiple times. Each time, it takes us ages to find out it is due to this Mouse-Keys feature in the "Universal Access" category. We are pretty sure we have never enabled it by ourselves, so it is either enabled by default, or by some system updates, or by some obscure shortcut keys. However I've just reviewed all the shortcuts and could not find anything related to enabling Mouse-keys.
Sebastien, if you are sure this feature is not enabled by default, then I propose to add the same Mouse-Keys feature check-box in System- Settings/Keyboard so it is faster to find it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/469126 Title: Preferences > Keyboard > Mouse Keys enabled by default Ubuntu 9.10 + VirtualBox Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a VirtualBox 3.0.10 and could not use my number pad on both ps/2 and usb keyboard. 5 key was acting as mouse 0. I found a solution for previous version of ubuntu in the bug reports. Not sure why Preferences > Keyboard > Mouse Keys is enabled by default during installation but it should not be in my opinion Disabling that setting solves the problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/469126/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
