Public bug reported:
Using Remmina for vnc on Linux Mint 19.3 MATE (Based on Ubuntu 18.04)
accessing several machines with vino-server (v 1.4.6) running also on
Linux Mint 19.3 MATE. All machines boot up with Numlock on and vino-
server running. However in order to use the numeric key pad for numbers
on the remote machine I have to toggle the Numlock key on the Remmina
machine. Then the numbers work on the remote machine but the local
machine they are off. The symbols /, *, -, and . work fine.
Any idea how to fix this? Vino-server is started by systemd at boot. I
don't know what mechanism toggles the Numlock on at boot but could there
be a timing problem?
Is there a fixed setting in vino I can tell it what state to assume the
Numlock is when vino-server is started?
By the way when I use Remmina to access windows machines that are
running UltraVNC the Numlock is synced correctly.
