It should be great to enable numlock by default using numlockx, however, I think the problem is some laptops will lock up using it. <div>On 9/3/06, Thilo Six <<a href="mailto:T.Six@gmx.de">T.Six@gmx.de</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 jeff emminger wrote the following on 03.09.2006 07:54: > hi list, > > trying to install numlockx, which is listed here: > <a href="http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/dapper/x11/numlockx"> http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/dapper/x11/numlockx</a> > > yet when i use: > sudo apt-get install numlockx > > i get the error: > E: Couldn't find package numlockx > > am i doing something wrong? If you want to activate Numlock after login into Gnome, you do not need numlockx. I get used have it installed in past also, but now at last with Gnome 2.14 it is not necessary anymore. Just press the numlock button on your keyboard the press ALT+F2 and enter gnome-session-save. This will save the current state of your Desktop, including the numlock state.
