Is there a way to have a default of having the num-lock on the computer?

I am using fluxbox.

I don't use Fluxbox at this time. But I searched LQ and found some things.
Read this thread -> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ox+and+numlock |
What is the command line command to bring up the GUI for the above mentioned KDE configuration. If I run this from fluxbox will it still work? I have also tried the stuff in the above mentioned thread and have had no luck with it. Has anyone got this working on their computer under fluxbox?

KDE Control Center is KDE specific, and will do no good (and may in fact try to load the entire KDE environment when you run it).
It doesn't appear that there is an effective way of setting the NumLock in any of the other Window Managers. But I too would be happy to be proven wrong! |

Posting back. I don't know how to do it, and also think it would bring good closure to this thread (remember many Google searches terminate on threads like this one).

Download NumLockX from http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/numlockx/
Untar wherever you desire, then cd /numlockx-1.0 Issue "pico README" and if you need more help after that, post back... |
HOW-TO turn on Num Lock when you start the X server
Basically all you need to do is:
Download the file from http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/numlockx/numlockx-1.0.tar.gz $ tar -zxvf numlockx-1.0.tar.gz $ cd numlockx-1.0 $ ./configure $ make # make install Then if you have a file .xinitrc in your home directory just add numlock & to the file, save it, and you'll have NumLock on whenever you start the X server. If you don't have the file, create it in your home directory. You can put other programs in it to run when you start X. Here's mine as an example: Code:
bash-2.05b$ cat .xinitrc |

Been away...
Hello,
I've fallen out of the habit of checking the forums here (bad I know)... I've been doing a lot of online work over at ChefMoz.org. Anyway... I never got it working, but I also stopped using Fluxbox (mostly due to having a beefier machine and really liking the usability of Gnome 2.6). I appreciate the offer, but I think the links above should suffice. Re: PS... A web site link? What web site link? |

some gui that's hiding it to use it, just like with KDE. Quote:
several buttons - www is the link to a website you provided - it does not work. If that link is no longer valid, you should change or remove it. You should update your profiles if you're going to continue to use LQ, so folks can help you better. |
