| adrian_1908 | Anyone here have the problem that NumLock gets activated each boot? I don't have a BIOS setting for it, and I think it comes on with the login screen. I just can't seem to find the source of it, and attempts to override it fail. | 10:40 |
|---|---|---|
| diogenes_ | adrian_1908, numklockx. | 10:43 |
| adrian_1908 | diogenes_: works when I run it, but doesn't work in ~/.profile. Or do I need to add a separate startup script? | 10:44 |
| adrian_1908 | Seems nearly all users have the opposite problem, wanting to enable NumLock on boot. Leads me to believe my default "on" state is not normal. | 10:45 |
| diogenes_ | adrian_1908, i didn't get, so you want it to be deactivated at boot? | 10:45 |
| adrian_1908 | right, i want it to be deactivated. | 10:46 |
| diogenes_ | then remove the package or see if you have 'save session' enabled or look in startup programs and in lightdm.conf | 10:47 |
| diogenes_ | or you can add numlockx off | 10:49 |
| adrian_1908 | Did a grep in /var/log and found that lightdm calls → /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-xubuntu-numlock.conf → /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55numlockx | 10:54 |
| adrian_1908 | Probably some over-engineered solution that doesn't behave correctly in my case. Will try changing things there. | 10:55 |
| adrian_1908 | brb | 10:56 |
| adrian_1908 | Nope, that wasn't it. Numlock comes on as I log in. | 11:06 |
| brainwash | Xfce has a setting for numlock | 11:07 |
| brainwash | https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/keyboard | 11:10 |
| adrian_1908 | brainwash: Do you mean in the "Keyboard" settings on the control panel? Or is there another one? | 11:10 |
| brainwash | I fixed a bug related to that setting last year I think | 11:11 |
| adrian_1908 | I only see "Restore num lock state on startup" and that I tried in both states. | 11:11 |
| brainwash | you still on Xfce 4.12 (xubuntu 18.04)? | 11:11 |
| adrian_1908 | Right | 11:12 |
| brainwash | https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15642 | 11:12 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.xfce.org bug 15642 in Keyboard Settings "'Restore numlock state on startup' not working." [Normal,Resolved: fixed] | 11:12 |
| adrian_1908 | brainwash: Thanks. So this will have been fixed in later releases, e.g. the upcoming 20.04, right? | 11:13 |
| brainwash | you check these settings via the Xfce settings editor | 11:14 |
| brainwash | yes, should be fixed in the new release | 11:14 |
| adrian_1908 | brainwash: I see, just checked xfce4-settings-editor and there it was. I'll reboot and report back. | 11:15 |
| adrian_1908 | Ok, that toggle didn't work. I also realized I had edited this file without the GUI before. But if it's fine in 20.04 then I'll just wait. I'll try a startup script now with (a delayed) `numlockx off` as an ugly workaround. | 11:19 |
| brainwash | alright | 11:20 |
| brainwash | there is this also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1768844 | 11:21 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1768844 in numlockx (Ubuntu) "Numlock key turns on constantly, must push twice to turn off" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 11:21 |
| adrian_1908 | Ok, brb ;) | 11:28 |
| adrian_1908 | Ok, that worked. All set now. Thanks for the help/info. | 11:34 |
| brainwash | adrian_1908: what worked? | 11:35 |
| adrian_1908 | The last thing I wanted to try, startup script with `numlockx off`. | 11:35 |
| adrian_1908 | The LEDs comes on briefly (as always), then gets switched off. | 11:35 |
| brainwash | okay :) | 11:36 |
