Title:
  Numlock gets deactivated when grub2 loads

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a desktop machine, and i prefer to have numlock activated at
  all times, so i set that behavior in the UEFI of my Asus board.

  The numlock then activates correctly at start time, but is only active
  until grub2 loads, at which point it deactivates and stays off until i
  reactivate it manually. This is very annoying and should not happen.
  The setting should not be messed with, when there is no way to control
  the behavior from inside the system.
