IMHO: I see some problems with this. I personally use a laptop a lot and it is a short version no number pad, but if i press the number lock in the middle of my keyboard becomes active as a number pad.
Yes you can install (numlockx) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock or on bios. This is more of an opinion than a request or a bug. I would not like this course of action. Also it on brainstrom: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/3596/ If you really wanted it done, then in install make it option to set when picking keyboard. Then have the script add the nublockx package and script to /etc/gdm/Init/Default If can be enabled, plus it can also be disabled under keyboard preference. System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layout -> Layout Options -> Miscellaneous compatibility options -> turn on "Default numeric keypad keys" Regards, Leo Jackson -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/632341 Title: Num Lock is not activated by default at GDM -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
