We have strange problem. When X starts Numlock is being enabled, but in console mode it disable. When I switch to console mode Numlock is become OFF, when I back to X mode , Numlock is become on. How I can do, that Numlock is always OFF???
Please, don't suggest me numlockx utility. It absent in this linux distribution.
Please, don't suggest me this bash script, because it is for console mode. We need X mode.
for tty in /dev/tty[1-6]; do
/usr/bin/setleds -D +num < $tty
As you see, my linux is very old. My server is special and i haven't any connection to internet. I haven't yum. Main packet manager on this comp is rpm.
In most of these deals I see the numblock will be off on first use. When a user presses the numblock on it then returns on when any other log on conditions exist.
from gnome
system / preferences / start up applications
click the "options" tab
and set to
