  Extracting from bug 1218322, confirmed there by multiple users:

  When switching the keyboard layout using a shortcut (such as
  Alt+Shift), NumLock functionality is (mostly) turned off.  More
  precisely: it goes into an inconsistent state where pressing numpad 5
  inserts the digit 5, but the other numpad keys move the cursor.
  Pressing the NumLock key turns it off completely (pressing numpad 5 no
  longer does anything), and pressing once again turns it on.

  This means that if someone prefers to have the NumLock functionality
  switched on all the time, they have to press the NumLock key twice
  after each layout change. I find this a huge usability problem.

  (I don't have a LED, so I cannot tell how that one is lit.)

  The bug is not present when changing the layout via the indicator
  applet.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1247668]

[Silviu C.]

Guys, the problem still happens on various linux distros in 2016. Is
there anybody looking into this? It's so annoying for anybody using more
than one keyboard layout.

[Gregory Malets]

It is 2018 year. A ridiculous bug with NumLock is still present in a fresh 
installation of 14.04 LTS.
4 years no one can fix the bug, is it for real?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1247668] Re: NumLock turned off on layout switch

[Egmont Koblinger]

My old laptop (a Samsung NP300E5Z, originally with Precise and upgraded
all the way up to Yakkety) died a few days ago. I cannot tell for 100%
but I'm like 99% sure that this bug still existed there in Yakkety,
otherwise I pretty sure would have noticed being releived by the pain
being gone while using Yakkety for about 1.5 months (since around its
final beta freeze).

My new laptop (a Dell Inspiron 5559 210771, with a brand new Yakkety
installation, same plain pretty much default Unity7, same two keyboard
layouts and same Alt+Shift toggle configured) does not suffer from this
bug. I enable NumLock, it looks like it stays enabled all the time.

In the mean time, changing the layout still switches off Caps Lock,
including its feedback LED. Luckily I don't care about this too much.

At this point I have no clue whether:
- it was some system-wide leftover from the upgrade processes,
- it was some leftover in my home directory (I did not [yet] bring over my 
settings),
- or the behavior is somehow hardware related.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1247668] Re: NumLock turned off on layout switch

[Egmont Koblinger]

I have XKBOPTIONS="" in that file.

Note that I'm using Gnome (Unity) which infamously handles the layout
switch itself nowadays rather than letting X do so (see e.g.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1244090). I guess
the contents of /etc/default/keyboard are completely overridden by
Gnome.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1247668] Re: NumLock turned off on layout switch

[Håkon A . Hjortland]

On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with only Norwegian keyboard layout (no switching),
I get the num lock problem after login. The num lock LED is on, pressing
e.g. Ctrl turns it off, but the num lock function is still on, pressing
num lock turns the num lock function off, pressing num lock again turns
on both the LED and the function.

The "Works for me, probably not the proper solution though" patch worked
for me.

Thought I saw the num lock LED flicker a bit when it was on. Don't know
if that's connected to this bug. The patch might have stopped the
flickering, but it's hard to say.

I have a Key Tronic Ergoforce KT2001 PS/2 keyboard.

  When switching the keyboard layout using a shortcut (such as
  Alt+Shift), NumLock functionality is (mostly) turned off.  More
  precisely: it goes into an inconsistent state where pressing numpad 5
  inserts the digit 5, but the other numpad keys move the cursor.
  Pressing the NumLock key turns it off completely (pressing numpad 5 no
  longer does anything), and pressing once again turns it on.

  This means that if someone prefers to have the NumLock functionality
  switched on all the time, they have to press the NumLock key twice
  after each layout change. I find this a huge usability problem.

  (I don't have a LED, so I cannot tell how that one is lit.)

  The bug is not present when changing the layout via the indicator
  applet.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1247668] Re: NumLock turned off on layout switch

[Jean Sand]

I am running 14.04 LTS , using a Logitech K200 keyboard

numlockx has been added to 
/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf
greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on

I added to /etc/profile, /etc/bash.bashrc, ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc, ...
/usr/bin/logger -i -t PRIVATE -- "~/.profile user `/usr/bin/numlockx status`"

Numlock is on at login
Numlock is on when executing /etc/profile
Numlock is on when executing ~/.profile
Numlock is on when executing ~/.bashrc
When GUI is available, numlock is off. I seems that somewhere after processing 
login, numlock gets switch off.

[Dalton Santos]

I'm facing this bug every single day for 10 months and I just can't get
used to it. It's devastating. =/

Just installed Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 and the bug is still here. =(

I wish I could help here, but I'm just reporting.

XKB: Remove duplicate keymap-copying loop

Previously we had:
foreach (device + slaves of device) {
XkbCopyDeviceKeymap(i, device);
[...]
}
if (device was last slave of its MD) {
XkbCopyDeviceKeymap(master, device);
}
and now:
foreach (device + slaves of device + MD if device was last slave) {
XkbCopyDeviceKeymap(i, device);
[...]
}

As an extra bonus, when changing the keymap on a slave device, we now
ensure the LED info on the master is kept in sync.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1247668] Re: NumLock turned off on layout switch

[dimitronic]

I don't have a solution but i have something that turn on the numlock when you 
change layout (it's stupid, but works for me).
follow the steps below:

1)mkdir ~/keyfix ; cd ~/keyfix


2)open a file  show_layout.sh and  copy and paste this:  setxkbmap -print | 
grep xkb_symbols | awk '{print $4}' | awk -F+ '{print $2}'  (without the 
first and the last )
 

3)open a file  keyfix.sh and copy and paste this:
s=0
s1=0
while test 1 == 1
do

s=`$HOME/keyfix/show_layout.sh`

sleep 0.001s

if test $s != $s1
then

numlockx off
numlockx on


#if test $s == alt_layout
#then
#xset led named Scroll Lock
#else
#xset -led named Scroll Lock
#fi

fi


s1=`$HOME/keyfix/show_layout.sh`




if test $s != $s1
then

numlockx off
numlockx on


#if test $s == alt_layout
#then
#xset led named Scroll Lock
#else
#xset -led named Scroll Lock
#fi


fi 
sleep 0.01s

done

if you want to turn on scroll lock when you use alternative layout, remove the 
#'s and change alt_layout to your alternative layout i.e. gr or us
**

3)open a file  disown_easy.sh and copy and paste this:
#!/bin/bash
$1 
P=`which $1`
disown `pidof ${P}`


4)open a file  run-keyfix and copy and paste this:
$HOME/keyfix/disown_easy.sh $HOME/keyfix/keyfix.sh


5) open a terminal and type:
 chmod +x ~/keyfix/* ;  sudo cp ~/keyfix/run-keyfix  /usr/bin/


6)make the script run-keyfix to run on startup! (go to startup applications and 
add it)


THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION! THIS IS A STUPID FIX!

*don't use these scripts to make weapons!

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1247668]

[Egmont Koblinger]

Created attachment 98637
Works for me, probably not the proper solution though

Here's a workaround patch that I've been using successfully for a while.

Upon loading a new keymap, Xkb does something with the locks. I'm not
sure what it is and why it would do so. I just commented out that part
and it works great for me. There might be side effects unbeknownst to
me.

Apparently various manufacturers create keyboards that change the
keycode of the numpad keys to their non-numpad equivalents when NumLock
is off. Crazy, I know. This is an issue Xkb developers should be aware
of.

The current behavior on layout change is still not reasonable at all,
it's a bug somewhere in Xkb, triggered by such keyboards. Nevertheless,
this bug should be fixed.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1247668]

[Egmont Koblinger]

A few people confirmed that their system always sends keycode 87 for
keypad 1/End, independently of NumLock's state. They don't face this
bug.

I've connected an external keyboard to my laptop and that one also
always sends 87, as opposed to the built-in one.

Really looks like we're facing some broken keyboards.

Anyway, X's behavior is still not reasonable. When NumLock is on,
changing the layout and then pressing a modifier shouldn't trigger the
keyboard's brain-damaged geez, NumLock went off, let me alter the
keycodes mode, since NumLock didn't turn off at all.

Thanks. Could you please tell us the exact brand/model of your keyboard?

Do you have another keyboard somewhere that you could try?

It sounds strange I know, but apparently on a few computers the numpad
keys start producing different keycodes when numlock is off (namely the
keycodes of the standalone cursor keys). I have no clue yet if it's a
problem with the keyboard itself, or the motherboard, bios, what else
tries to be more clever than it should...

Make sure NumLock is off. From a terminal start xev, and press numpad
1. A few friends confirmed to me that they see keycode 87, keysym
KP_End which is I think the expected result. On the other hand, I see
keycode 115, keysym End which apparently somehow leads to the broken
behavior, I guess you also see this latter.

(Just for reference:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600659#c63 is a totally
different bug apparently caused by the same underlying weird keycode
change.)

  Extracting from bug 1218322, confirmed there by multiple users:

  When switching the keyboard layout using a shortcut (such as
  Alt+Shift), NumLock functionality is (mostly) turned off.  More
  precisely: it goes into an inconsistent state where pressing numpad 5
  inserts the digit 5, but the other numpad keys move the cursor.
  Pressing the NumLock key turns it off completely (pressing numpad 5 no
  longer does anything), and pressing once again turns it on.

  This means that if someone prefers to have the NumLock functionality
  switched on all the time, they have to press the NumLock key twice
  after each layout change. I find this a huge usability problem.

  (I don't have a LED, so I cannot tell how that one is lit.)

[Cvetan Simsic]

The keyboard is Genius Slimstar 110. I will try to find another one, to
try, but this is completely same configuration that i used on Ubuntu
12.04 untill i installed 14.04, couple days ago.

On 12.04 i didn't have the problem.

[Egmont Koblinger]

Ubuntu 12.04 is irrelevant here. A lot of changes with keyboard layout
change went into 13.10 (see bug 1218322) which is the source of many
problems. Prior to 13.10 kbd changes were handled differently and it
didn't trigger this problem.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1247668] Re: NumLock turned off on layout switch

[Egmont Koblinger]

I attach a patch to xorg-server which seems to fix it for me. Side
effects are yet to be discovered :)

Rebuild xorg-server with the following series of commands (might not be
the best way, but that's what I found, I'm not yet familiar with these):

sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev
mkdir build
cd build
apt-get source xorg-server
sudo apt-get build-dep xorg-server
cd xorg-server-1.15.1
cp ~/Downloads/xorg-server-xkb-numlock.patch debian/patches/ # replace 
Downloads appropriately
echo xorg-server-xkb-numlock.patch  debian/patches/series 
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i xserver-common_1.15.1-0ubuntu2_all.deb 
xserver-xorg-core_1.15.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb


** Patch added: Works for me, probably not the proper solution though

Change layout by executing a setxkbmap us or similar command. Verify
that numpad digits still work as expected.

Press and release any of the modifiers, e.g. left shift.

Press the numpad keys and figure out that they're in a broken
inconsistent state that should never occur. Numpad 5 inserts a literal 5
into applications, whereas the rest work as if NumLock had been turned
off. numlockx reports it is switched on. Press the NumLock key and it's
turned off, press again and it's turned on correctly.

Expected behavior: changing layout should of course not effect numlock's
state.

When NumLock is off, my numpad keys report keycodes 110-119 (with the

'1' reports 115 End, instead of the expected 87 KP_End. (With NumLock
on, it is 87 KP_1, as expected.)

Speaking in terms of xmodmap -pke format, apparently the correct
column is looked up (depending on NumLock's status), but in the wrong
row for some reason (the row also depends on NumLock's status, though it
shouldn't).

Holding down the Fn key toggles the keycodes, i.e. with NumLock off it
becomes 87 KP_End, and with NumLock on it becomes 115 End.

The very same behavior is observable with showkey on the text console
(with an offset of 8 in the key codes, and NumLock can't be toggled
while showkey is running).

Apparently, this laptop works differently than most laptops, and
probably the hardware does some magic that it really shouldn't do.

The commands numlockx on / numlockx off work as expected, they
apparently somehow tell the hardware whether to alter the keycodes
consistently with X's belief. Using xmodmap -pke's terminology, the
row and the column are switched together, and I haven't found a way to
get to the other two row/column combos. This suggests that theoretically
there should exist a workaround. Whenever X's belief of the NumLock
state changes, it should do whatever numlockx off does to lie to the
hardware so that it doesn't modify the keycodes.

This is a Samsung NP300E5Z laptop. (By the way, it doesn't have a
NumLock LED.)

[Egmont Koblinger]

Felipe, Csaba, Cvetan, Diego:

I made some findings upstream at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78012. Looks it's somehow
related to the hardware incorrectly changing the keycode on its own when
numlock is switched on.

Could you please reveal what hardware you have? At this point I wouldn't
be surprised if Samsung laptops were the culprit.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1247668] Re: NumLock turned off on layout switch

[Diego Schulz]

I also experience this issue after a clean 14.04 installation. Layout
keeps switching all the time. It's incredibly annoying and infuriating.

My preferred keyboard layout is US International with dead keys (or
something like that, my environment is currently set to Spanish).

I need this keyboard layout for many reasons, the first and most obvious
being that my laptop came with a English layout keyboard, not Spanish.
Second is that I often need to type áéíóúñõãũ etcetera. Third, I don't
want to switch layouts all the time, so US International with dead
keys is a perfect fit for me.

The problem is that I find myself frequently (read: many times a day)
messing around with keyboard layout settings because the system keeps
forgetting and instead changes to plain English layout and for some very
stupid reason, disabling num lock. Also, when this obnoxious unsolicited
gratuitous layout switch happens, I no longer can type some characters
(quotation marks (), apostrophes ('), accents ('`)) in applications
written in Java/Swing.

I can say for sure, but I think one of the things that triggers the
switching is suspend/resume cycles.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1247668] Re: NumLock turned off on layout switch

[Egmont Koblinger]

Guys, honestly I can't believe no one's paying attention to this bug.

I mean...  it's the most basic input device and it's been working
correctly for decades, and now it can't emit the freaking desired
symbol?!?  I find no words to describe how much frustration this bug
keeps causing to me even after months of trying to get used to it:  it
occurs dozens of times daily that I try to type a number but instead it
moves the cursor around, so I have to undo the cursor movement, press
numlock twice and then retype the digits.  Complete disaster!!  You
spend tremendous effort in coming up with the perfect desktop system
including Unity and whatnot eye candy, but you ignore the very
essentials like a working keyboard??  I swear twm with a properly
functioning numlock would be more user-friendly.

This bug is a deal breaker for me.  It's been three months since I
reported it, and no action yet.  I'll wait patiently for another two
months trying hard not to jump out of the window from the anger this
problem causes me, and then upgrade to the very first stable release of
14.04.  If it's still not fixed there I'm sorry but I'm going to
immediately switch to another distribution.  (Not that you care too much
about it apparently :( )

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1247668] Re: NumLock turned off on layout switch

[Sümegi Csaba]

I also experienced this weird NumLock state described by Egmont (5 is a
digit, the rest are cursor keys).

I only use one keyboard layout (Hungarian) and don't want to switch it to any 
other, thus I deleted the English one in the System Settings / Text Entry.
But after startup my keyboard layout is mostly set to English (which is also 
described by others, e.g. 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/362973/keyboard-layout-switches-to-english-each-time-i-reboot).

Setxkbmap shows the following:
$ setxkbmap -query
rules:  evdev
model:  pc105
layout: us

So I have to manually switch to Hungarian either by
1.) clicking on the only Hungarian item in the keyboard indicator,
(Setxkbmap shows:
rules:  evdev
model:  pc105
layout: hu,us
variant:,  )

2.) or entering setxkbmap hu in the terminal.
(Setxkbmap shows:
rules:  evdev
model:  pc105
layout: hu )

But after this and using any modifier key (e.g. switching tasks with Alt+Tab or 
switching desktops with Ctrl+Alt+cursors) I face the mentioned inconsistent 
numpad state.
BTW numlockx says:
$ numlockx status
Numlock is on

Since I have to do the layout switching only once after startup I
overcame this faulty behavior with a script starting automatically after
login, as follows:

#!/bin/sh
setxkbmap hu
numlockx off
numlockx on

The bug is also observable under IceWM, when manually executing

X.Org/Xkb.

- testing if that happens without indicator-keyboard running
- testing if that happens without gnome-settings-daemon running
- debugging the code and sending a patch fixing the issue ;-)

  Extracting from bug 1218322, confirmed there by multiple users:

  When switching the keyboard layout using a shortcut (such as
  Alt+Shift), NumLock functionality is (mostly) turned off.  More
  precisely: it goes into an inconsistent state where pressing numpad 5
  inserts the digit 5, but the other numpad keys move the cursor.
  Pressing the NumLock key turns it off completely (pressing numpad 5 no
  longer does anything), and pressing once again turns it on.

  This means that if someone prefers to have the NumLock functionality
  switched on all the time, they have to press the NumLock key twice
  after each layout change. I find this a huge usability problem.

  (I don't have a LED, so I cannot tell how that one is lit.)

  The bug is not present when changing the layout via the indicator
  applet.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1247668] Re: NumLock turned off on layout switch

[Egmont Koblinger]

@Sebastien: Are the steps described in the original report, as well as
comment 2 not exact enough to trigger the bug reliably? It is buggy for
me all the time, and so far nobody said he couldn't reproduce.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1247668] Re: NumLock turned off on layout switch

[Egmont Koblinger]

It seems the bug lies somewhere deeper under, probably in xorg.

Turn on NumLock. Switch layout either using the indicator, or by
executing setxkbmap us or something alike. Try the numpad keys: they
work as expected (they insert digits). Press and release any of the
modifier keys. Try the numpad keys again: they are in this inconsistent
state where 5 is a digits, the rest are cursor keys.

So, a layout switch followed by a modifier press/release leads to this
faulty state.

As a special case, if a layout switch is performed by a shortcut key,
the modifier press/release happens as part of this key sequence, so
NumLock becomes inconsistent immediately.
