In: /usr/share/sddm/sddm.conf.d/00default.conf I change to Numlock=on It makes no difference, when system boots the "Numlock" is still off. There is no default user login either and some kind of "Consoll log for..." on the lower right hand corner (that user don't need to see). Previously I did not use any log-in manager, I start X from .bash_profile if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then exec startx; fi .xinitrc exec startxfce4 but I'm not sure if it runs/starts in VT=7 How to check or force X to VT=7
