[Bug 201887] Re: Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key
Hey guys...I'm seeing a very similar problem to this bug. I'm using karmic with latest updates on a 'regular' PC and an Apple bluetooth keyboard. This keyboard has no number pad at all and is very much like a laptop keyboard (which is what I select in the 'keyboard' preferences). The symptoms are : 1) I can log in ok without having to do anything special, but 2) once logged in, it behaves as if the keyboard has been put into a number mode, so some of the letter keys actually produce numbers on the screen Pressing fn-f6 twice fixes the problem, but I would like to avoid having to do this. Any ideas?

[Bug 201887] Re: Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key
Hey guys, There is no such thing as Number Lock in the Apple Keyboard. If your keypad is not working, it could be because Mouse Keys are turned on in System Preferences - Universal Access - Mouse Trackpad. From there you can turn this function off or (if the box is checked) you can press the Option key 5x to turn Mouse Keys on or off. Mouse Keys give the keypad the funtionality of a mouse. If you were to hold the 8 key down, your mouse would go up; 4 would go left and so on. If the keyboard is not operating in a certain software program, it sounds like a software issue. Some would say that this is an issue with the Apple Keyboard, but remember that software is designed for the operating system. And the Apple Keyboard is meant to work with Apple OS. As for using kernal patches, I strongly recommend caution. Since Apple keeps the kernal very secretive, it's not wise to go messing around in there. Well, I hope this helps. ** Attachment added: Mouse Keys.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22444265/Mouse%20Keys.png -- Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@sceintus You must tap 'clear' to enable the numpad by default. As discussed throughout this thread and elsewhere, the decision was made that 'clear' is in the spot a user might expect the 'Num lock' key to be, and it will be detected and treated as such. So, after booting the computer, or at any time, just tap 'clear' and your keypad will work.

[Bug 201887] Re: Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key
The proposed updates do, indeed, stop the keyboard going into laptop mode when the numlock/clear key is pressed. It's still sub-optimal, though: * The function keys only work when 'fn' is held down. The pb_fnmode value change corrects this, but this *should* be the default: without 'fn' held down, the keys can't be mapped to Compiz's scale plugin etc. so they're dead keys. * Numlock defaults to off, even though the key is not intended to be numlock. Keeping it numlock is OK (since people seem so passionate about it), but it should default to on (as there is no LED indicator for 'clear') -- Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 201887] Re: Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key
I don't agree with Andrew's assessment of the function keys. This isn't a normal PC keyboard and we shouldn't try to make it one. For the same reason the number lock should always is the same reason that the media keys should be used over the function keys. Yes its annoying sometimes but I end up using my media keys far more often than fn keys and when looking at they keyboard it is clearly obvious that the media keys are what a user expects should happen if he presses one because the media key icon is so much larger. Same situation with the directional pad. We should try to be consistent with what is actually on the keyboard not with what is in our minds that the keyboard should be.

[Bug 201887] Re: Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key
This isn't a normal PC keyboard and we shouldn't try to make it one. As has been pointed out above, though: the primary OS for this keyboard is OS X. Apps for OS X use function keys a *lot* less than Linux apps in terms of keyboard shortcuts etc. This is argument #1 - from a user- centred design point of view, for making the default different to this keyboard's behaviour in OS X. Argument #2: this keyboard is a nice keyboard, and many people using it with Ubuntu are using it on non-Apple hardware. In fact, I'd wager that *more* Ubuntu users use it with non-Apple hardware than with. Argument #3: Some of the keys don't have media/hardware use. This is another UCD argument for making the default behaviour one all keys support. Argument #4: In their default configuration the keys aren't bindable. Steps to reproduce: System Preferences Advanced Desktop Effects Settings Scale Bindings; click keyboard shortcut for Initiate Window Picker; click Grab key combination; press Exposé key (F3); label changes to disabled. Argument #5: There is no easy way - except going through each application, and each Compiz setting, separately to make the behaviour of Ubuntu match the brightness, scale, widget layer and volume buttons. We should try to be consistent with what is actually on the keyboard not with what is in our minds that the keyboard should be. Indeed: this is why I believe the numlock should be enabled by default (and why I'd prefer the 'clear' key to work as such in Calculator, OpenOffice.org, etc.). However, every function key has a 'F\d' label on it - this isn't making up behaviour. Yes its different but thats what buying apple hardware is all about. Think Different The only Apple hardware I currently own is this keyboard. We should be trying to ensure that this keyboard (and any other hardware) presents the most usable and joyful experience when using Ubuntu. Any *intended* use by its manufacturer, or behaviour on another operating system should play second fiddle to this. -- Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm running ibex alpha 3 and the numlock works as I expect. The only problem I'm having with the keyboard now is the F keys. In order for me to open the run command I have to press ALT + fn + F2. I would expect the fn key to enable the extra functions on the keys rather than enable the F-Keys.

Apple themselves recognize that Numlock must be supported on non-apple OSes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1216 In short, yes, Clear button is supposed to work as a Numlock, only not in MacOS. I've seen many discussions on this topic already, I think whatever hardware is used, Ubuntu must support what Ubuntu users want. If this particular keyboard is plugged into a Mac it's a Mac keyboard, when it's used with Windows it's a Windows keyboard, and when used with Ubuntu? I guess it should be Ubuntu keyboard! I'm an Ubuntu user and I want Numlock. I don't care whether it is supposed to be used as such or not. I don't care about what is printed on the buttons (there are keyboards without any text at all, so what?).

Re: [Bug 201887] Re: Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key
Fedor, I have no doubt that you want the directional pad. You know its there and that's great for you. But for someone who just bought this keyboard and does not know it is there turning the directional pad on by default can only cause confusion. If someone buys this keyboard and his numbers don't work he is not going to know to hunt around for a num lock key. There is no visible num lock key and no arrows on the keyboard that would indicate that this is expected behavior. It will only seem broken. Honestly I wish I could put a sticker on everyone's clear key so that they know it is a num lock key and the directional pad can be on by default but we can't do that it's out of our control. What we can control is making the keyboard behave as expected for the majority of people looking at the keyboard. I don't honestly think that people are going to look at that clear key and say that it must be a num lock key because it is in the location normally occupied by the num lock. -- Sincerely Justin Sunseri Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to. -- Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 201887] Re: Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key
The first thing I do on a keyboard with a numeric pad, is to enable the numeric functionality. I always thought that having it act as a directional pad by default is counter intuitive. I mean, I expect the fraction of people who use it as a directional pad to be very small compared to the number of people who use it as a number pad. So personally, I would prefer if the default was switched to a number pad on all keyboards (isn't that the default behaviour on OSX and Windows anyway?!)

Justin, you may be surprised to learn, that despite you don't believe people are looking for Numlock button where it's supposed to be, it's actually the case. Well, except maybe for hardcore Mac users. But they don't have a reason to look for it anyway. On the other hand, who really knows what Clear button is supposed to do? Given the pictogram displayed on that key, I bet rarely anyone without Mac experience would be able to decipher that. Also, BootCamp emulates Numlock on Windows with Clear key.

I'm not sure what the clear key does, though a quick Google search shows: http://www.google.com/search?q=os+x+clear+keyie=UTF-8oe=UTF-8 The link doesn't work well for me, but the Google summary of the first result includes: The Clear key, of course, acts like the clear key on a calculator... In other words, whatever it is supposed to do, it is NOT supposed to act like a numlock. I would argue that in this case, we should only allow the directional mode for users sophisticated enough to go searching for it -- remember, there is no visual indication that numlock is on or off, and the functions it performs (other than numbers) are not visible anywhere on the keyboard.

[Bug 201887] Re: Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key
After upgrading to the newest kernel here is what I found. Pressing a key on the number pad does not cause the letter keys to malfunction anymore. The issue now is that the number pad is behaving like a directional pad. Pressing the clear button at the top of the number pad turns on the number lock and once the number lock is on then it behaves like a normal number pad. I'm not sure if this is the intended behavior but it seems very undocumented looking at the keyboard. You really don't expect the clear button to toggle the num lock. Not sure if it is a gnome issue or kernel issue but the brightness keys F1 and F2 do not adjust the brightness of my laptop screen.

Re: [Bug 201887] Re: Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key
I'm afraid that I must disagree with your assessment. There is no way on earth that I can justify the number pad working as a directional pad by default when there are no arrows marked on the keys and no visible number lock key. Why should someone have to go find a real keyboard to find where the number lock key is if all that person has is mac hardware? Who is to say that that person will even realize that finding the number lock key would be the answer to his problem. All someone who plugs in this keyboard will know is that his numbers don't work and there is no visible indicator on the keyboard what is going on. luckily i am using a laptop that has a number lock light and i can see the status of the lock. If a person is using a desktop there will be no such indicator as there is no number lock light on the keyboard itself. Is there anyway we can get this keyboard to default to number lock on behavior by default?? Even if this is outside of the kernel itself when someone plugs in this keyboard the system should know that the most desirable mode of operation for this keyboard is to enable to number lock. -- Sincerely Justin Sunseri Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to. -- Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

SRU justification: Impact: Slim USB Apple Keyboard stops working if a numpad or number key is pressed. Testcase: A clean boot, keys work. Press numpad or number key and the keyboard stops working. Patch in my PPA tested and verified https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/201887/comments/72 This patch splits the Numlock emulation for Apple keyboards in a different quirk flag, so that it can be enabled for all the keyboards but the Aluminium USB ones. If the Numlock emulation is enabled for Aluminium USB keyboards, the JKL and UIO keys become the numeric pad, and the rest of the keyboard is disabled, included the key used to disable Numlock. Additionally, these keyboard should not have a Numlock at all, as the Numlock key is instead replaced by the 'Clear' key as usual for Apple USB keyboards.

[Bug 201887] Re: Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key
Hi I came up against this issue back in April when upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy - function keys no longer worked as they did in Gutsy. I ended up a bit lost and just wound up using my laptop keyboard for the missing functions, so it's good to finally find a discussion like this. For what it's worth, as a user with a technical background, rather than an Ubuntu developer, here is my take on the issue: * I have a full size Apple wired USB keyboard (http://images.apple.com/keyboard/images/gallery/wired_1_20070813.jpg), with number pad. I use it because it's very easy on my fingers, it's light - i can chuck it my backpack easily plus it is very well made and designed. * I don't use it with an Apple PC, although I could in the future. I use it primarily with a Dell XPS 1330 laptop. * The function keys not working look to be due to the keycode not being mapped to a specific key symbol. You can set this up as an Xmodmap file by grabbing the keycodes from xev and (in KDE) add that as a script to the ~/.kde/Autostart directory. I'm sure there is another solution. keycode 101 = F1 keycode 212 = F2 keycode 166 = F3 ! F4 keycode not found... keycode 71 = F5 keycode 72 = F6 keycode 234 = F7 keycode 162 = F8 keycode 233 = F9 keycode 160 = F10 keycode 174 = F11 keycode 176 = F12 keycode 182 = F13 keycode 183 = F14 keycode 184 = F15 keycode 93 = F16 keycode 131 = F17 keycode 247 = F18 keycode 132 = F19 e.g xmodmap /path/to/mymodmap.file * The F4 key was never detected, even with getscancodes from keytouch.sf.net. I have two of these keyboard and neither emitted a keycode or scancode, so it isn't a faulty keyboard. * The only other key not detected on the keyboard is the fn key, which neither emits a keycode in xev or a scancode in getscancodes. This is a bit annoying as it would be the perfect modifier key for multimedia function fn+F12 for Volume Up, for instance. * One other thing to watch our for is that (on my dell laptop at least), the dedicated Dell media keys for Mute, Volume Up and Volume Down emit the same keycodes as F10, F11 and F12 on the Apple keyboard. What I'd expect this keyboard to do in *ubuntu running on non Apple hardware. (I can't speak for what should, and probably does, happen on Apple hardware as I haven't used it) * the function keys should just emit the F1-F19 keycodes that are mapped to the respective key symbols. hitting the F2 key on it's own should not increase brightness. * the fn key should be detected and be used as a modifier key, like on a non apple laptop. For instance on the Dell, Fn + UpArrow increases screen brightness. * the fn key together with the various media keys (F7 to F12) should carry out the generic XF86Audio* actions. For instance, hitting fn+F8 should Play/Pause, fn+F2 should increase brightness. * the clear key should not be a numlock key, there is no need for it as a numlock on a fullsize keyboard. As someone else suggested, it should clear a calculation or maybe emulate esc key. * the number pad should be enabled by default. * the command key should be the same as the meta/windows key on a non apple laptop. I hope that info helps out with any decisions made on this. While I am on the topic, if anyone has any ideas about the following questions, they'd be welcome * non working F4 key - how to get this working ? * fn key - how to get this working if possible ? * Alt+F2 on KDE 4 opens Krunner. This works ok on the laptop keyboard but Alt+F2 (with mapped function keys and Alt keys) on the Apple keyboard doesn't open krunner. If anyone has a solution for that it'd be great.

[Bug 201887] Re: Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key
I have 2 macs and 2 Slim USB Keyboards. We will call them set 1 and set 2, to avoid confusion. I had an issue with the 6 on the number pad on set 1, so i switched out the keyboard with the one from set 2. (which worked fine- all keys) The 6 on the number pad on the keyboard from set 2 didn't work on the mac from set 1, and the 6 on the number pad from set 1 (which originally didn't work) worked fine hooked to the set 2 mac. I have obviously determined that it is an issue with the mac, but I do not know how to find the problem, let alone fix it.

@Frédéric Grosshans: Thank you for taking care of the housekeeping :) Will make an effort to stay on topic: I believe that any work/patches that were done for MacBooks are actually working fine: Macbook users seem to be happy with the state of the current kernel as above. The problem seems to only effect users of the slim USB keyboards(such as myself). It has been mentioned that the driver(not sure?) should detect whether the Apple Inc. keyboard is either the Macbook, or USB/External type and adapt it's behavior accordingly. For the USB slim keyboard, IMHO, num-lock is not needed at all. There are no arrows marked on the num-pad and therefore arrow function on the num-pad is of no use. The num-lock/clear key should definitely *NOT* change the behavior of the alpha-num keys, as it unfortunately does currently - this is the specific problem I believe. -- Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It also affects me, using a slim USB keyboard on a MacBook Interesting... does this mean you observe different 'oddities' comparing the internal MacBook keyboard, and the external USB slim keyboard? You may be in a unique position in that case, to report on and test the two different keyboards. I only have the USB slim external keyboard. With or without numlock, I still want to be able to type numbers on the keypad. I agree that the keypad is necessary for typing numbers - I am suggesting that being able to type numbers in the num-pad is the only valid functionality, and there is no need for num-lock/clear or any other key to alter this behavior at any time. -- Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
