Num Lock
 

How do you get the Num Lock to be on when you start up Linux or Kde...

Hi

For Kde use control center
Peripherals
Keyboard
You can set it there.

Sls

there is also an option in your bios

-tank

If you wanted to know than just on KDE:

That won't help; the Linux kernel automatically turns numlock off when it starts.

For terminals, add the following to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local :

# Turn on Numlock for all consoles:
for t in 1 2 3 4 5 6
do
setleds -D +num < /dev/tty$t &> /dev/null
done

To have numlock turned on in X as well, first you need to install numlockx. Then create a file called /etc/xprofile containing the following:

#!/bin/sh
# Turn on num-lock:
/usr/bin/X11/numlockx on

(or, if you already have an xprofile, add the last two lines to the botom of it)
