Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
This is a pretty trivial bug, but it may be a candidate for future a 100
papercuts cycle. I did try searching to see if it had been reported
before, but couldn't find any - apologies if I've missed it!
At present, NumLock isn't enabled when you go to log in to Ubuntu, so
you have to manually enable it before entering numerical passwords on
the number pad. While this isn't a critical issue, it is one that I feel
should be fixed. I don't know anyone who uses the number pad for its
arrows, and other OSs do enable NumLock by default.
Additionally to achieve this behaviour at present requires installing
the numlockx package, and manually editing /etc/gdm/Init/Default - which
is clearly not appropriate for new users.
