HP Envy m6 k010dv running LM17- Number keypad is disabled with logoff
HP Evy as above. Each time I loggoff, the keypad is disabled and must be turned on.
How can I make keypad active at start up, and remain enabled during logoff?
I believe this is a service that starts on boot. I know, because I had a distro running on my old laptop that always turned numlock on and I was wondering why my password didn't work.
Looks like the package you want is called numlockx.
Thank you Ihatewindows522.
I am learning how to use Konsole so I don't quite know what to do with this. Below is the response to my apt get cammand.

It is probably no surprise to you that the program did not work. I see the above is a list but do not see how to execute a file to install the working program.
I thank you for further assistance.
