Dirty hack Make sure numlockx is installed and sudo sed -i -e 's/#WaylandEnable=false/WaylandEnable=false/g' /etc/gdm3/custom.conf as sudo: create a script named num.sh in /usr/local/sbin/num.sh sudo pico /usr/local/sbin/num.sh and put this in it: #!/bin/bash gdm=`pidof gdm3` until [ $gdm -gt 0 ] do su - gdm -s /bin/sh export $(dbus-launch) DISPLAY=:0 export DISPLAY export XAUTHORITY=/run/user/121/gdm/Xauthority numlockx on done exit make it excutable: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/num.sh create a /etc/rc.local file sudo pico /etc/rc.local put this in it: #!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. /usr/local/sbin/num.sh & exit 0 make it also executable: sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local Should be working numlockx on gdm screen. Place your script also in /etc/gdm3/PostSession/Default sed -i '$ i\/usr/local/sbin/num.sh &' /etc/gdm3/PostSession/Default without it: when you log out,,, no numlockx,, -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1727466 Title: ubuntu 17.10 gdm numlockx cannot be activated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/1727466/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
