Number Pad in Keyboard Not Working
1 Attachment(s)
This is a dual boot installation W10 +LM18. Everything else works fine.
Tried another keyboard, same problem. Tried ctrl shift numlock, same problem. Couldn't find this "tab": Your numpad is making your mouse move, you can also go to system/preferences/keyboard,[mouse keys] tab and uncheck the box. Also numLock ON in Start Up Applications, see attached image: |
Does the numpad work with Windows?
Try booting to a Live CD of something not Mint and testing the numlock under the Live CD and let us know what happens. Also, even though it shouldn't matter, what is the make/model of the keyboard and the computer? |
rclinux,
In Mint 17.3 and earlier, I used this: 1) Install numlockx : Code:
sudo apt-get install numlockx 3) Click on Add 4) On "Name" put NUMLOCK ON 5) On "Command" put /usr/bin/numlockx on 6) Click on Add and Close. 7) Then: Code:
sudo nano /etc/mdm/Init/Default Code:
if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then Also, check to see if there is a setting in your BIOS for NumLock ON. |

frankbell: Numlock works in Windows 10, Keyboard is HP Mod.5187-1767.
beachboy2: Couldn't insert the last command before exit0 so I closed the terminal(still has a process running) and reopened and entered sudo nano /etc/mdm/Init/Default but returned this screen,photo attched. |

rclinux,
NB If you are using Mint 18 Cinnamon, then the information below is probably of little use. Maybe a Mint 18 Cinnamon user can send you a copy of the original equivalent file for Cinnamon. The NumLock in my Mint 18 MATE 64 bit appears to be working okay without the addition of: Code:
if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then If it is of any help I am attaching the File: /etc/mdm/Init/Default which INCLUDES the additional code above. It may NOT be needed, but at least it should give you an idea of what the original /etc/mdm/Init/Default file looks like. If you are not familiar with using nano then do look at some tutorials first. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/42980...e-text-editor/ |

Found the answer searching around Menu:
>Preferences >Accessibility >Mouse: look at "Control the Pointer Using Keypad" turn it OFF! That's all folks. Here is are a couple of images to help: |
