[Bug 197589] Re: Numeric keypad no longer works after upgrade
A recent ugrade on my mom’s machine running lucid (lsb_release says 10.04.2) turned on the mouse keys in keyboard accessibility by default, when they were previously disabled. This had the very annoying consequence of the numeric keypad apparently not functioning any longer, and only by googling the issue did I find this bug report and understood what had happened.

[Bug 197589] Re: Numeric keypad no longer works after upgrade
I seem to have a related problem, but not quite the same. NumLock worked fine on my prior USB keyboard (Inland Multimedia and Office keyboard M/N: MC855692) until last week. All of a sudden, *nothing* would make the number pad work again. I don't recall if this was right after an update or not. Thinking that it was the keyboard, I purchased a new USB keyboard (CaseLogic KWD-100). Sadly, I still can't use the number pad. Since I use it *all* the time, what can I do to fix the issue? I'm running 9.10/Karmic Koala, and have been since October.

[Bug 197589] Re: Numeric keypad no longer works after upgrade
Hi, I had the problem with the Keypad-mouse-control enabled today, too, after my children were playing with the keyboard when the screensaver was on (password locked). Now I know, there is SHIFT-NUMLOCK key combination to toggle the state of the feature. The feature can be toggled on/off using this key combination, even when the session is locked. On relogin, the original state is not restored, so the feature was still enabled when I relogged in and this was letting me wonder how my children were able to get my keyboard settings broken without access to system configuration tools, as the setting was persistent, even restarting X11 or a reboot didn't help... So I think it is a bug, when the settings can be changed in a persistent way even on a password locked screen, because it enables an unauthorized user to change your keyboard settings. -- Numeric keypad no longer works after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197589 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 197589] Re: Numeric keypad no longer works after upgrade
I had the problem at the very beginning of using Hardy. Then it evaporated... But it has appeared again ! My system is absolutely up to date... Problem exists with a Logitech Wake Desktop, and an old common Dell keyboard. -- Numeric keypad no longer works after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197589 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Didn't see this bug on: 1 laptop upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy and 1 laptop fresh install of Hardy.

I have two desktop computers. Both upgrades from 7.10 to 8.04 were painful. Normal internet upgrade failed during the install process and cd-upgrade's automatic option didn't work either. A dialog will be displayed offering you the opportunity to upgrade using that CD. - Ubuntu If the upgrade dialog is not displayed for any reason, you may also run the following command using Alt+F2: Not so straight work flow even here. A message popped up claiming that cd is not mounted, which it surely was. After remounting system seemed to hang but the announcement was hidden. It was under all the other windows but nothing indicated that it even exists. Next step was to realize that cd-upgrade is defenately not going to do anything nor it is giving any instructions. The lacking piece of advise was that cd should be added to one's download sources. After that and number of error pop-ups everything seemed to be ok, but my numpad stopped responding. As I mentioned, all this happened during both hardy upgrades. Solution (which is surely not intuitive) was this already mentioned one: 1. Go to System Preferences Accessibility Keyboard Accessibility 2. Select [x] Enable keyboard accessibility features 3. Go to the tab Mouse Keys and deselect [ ] Enable keyboard accessibility features. - Ubuntu - rather stable if not upgraded to LTS. -- Numeric keypad no longer works after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197589 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Hello, The solution you posted works, temporairly only. For some reason for me the box gets checked on its own.

I'm seeing this issue on a fresh install of Hardy as well as an upgrade from Gutsy.

Sorry, that was a bit over the top, especially out of context... :-( I'll send you an email explaining my frustration - it doesn't belong in this bug report.

Sebastien, like flexR says, the 'allow to control pointer using keyboard' was set to 'on' after i upgraded wednesday to the latest development, from an up-to-date gutsy.
