I'm running Mint 10 on a ZaReason Strata Pro 13, and I've had similar difficulties: Num Lock turning on and off at random, the NumLk key not always reliably affecting Num Lock state (or LED), etc.
I was going to post all this when I noticed that the NumLk key on my keyboard is EXTREMELY sensitive to touch--as in, I need only brush a finger across it for it to activate/deactivate Num Lock. I'm not sure how this could relate to the problem others are reporting, but I have to assume it accounts for the problems I'm experiencing. I'm assuming it's a hardware problem, but I'm going to investigate the software side to see if the sensitivity might (somehow) be adjustable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/92482 Title: NumLock gets enabled unexpectedly on my laptop -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
