I don't have a solution but i have something that turn on the numlock when you change layout (it's stupid, but works for me). follow the steps below:
1)mkdir ~/keyfix ; cd ~/keyfix 2)open a file show_layout.sh and copy and paste this: " setxkbmap -print | grep xkb_symbols | awk '{print $4}' | awk -F"+" '{print $2}' " (without the first and the last ") 3)open a file keyfix.sh and copy and paste this: s=0 s1=0 while test "1" == "1" do s=`$HOME/keyfix/show_layout.sh` sleep 0.001s if test "$s" != "$s1" then numlockx off numlockx on #if test "$s" == "alt_layout" #then #xset led named "Scroll Lock" #else #xset -led named "Scroll Lock" #fi fi s1=`$HOME/keyfix/show_layout.sh` if test "$s" != "$s1" then numlockx off numlockx on #if test "$s" == "alt_layout" #then #xset led named "Scroll Lock" #else #xset -led named "Scroll Lock" #fi fi sleep 0.01s done ******************** if you want to turn on scroll lock when you use alternative layout, remove the #'s and change alt_layout to your alternative layout i.e. "gr" or "us" ************************** 3)open a file disown_easy.sh and copy and paste this: #!/bin/bash $1 & P=`which $1` disown `pidof ${P}` 4)open a file run-keyfix and copy and paste this: $HOME/keyfix/disown_easy.sh $HOME/keyfix/keyfix.sh 5) open a terminal and type: chmod +x ~/keyfix/* ; sudo cp ~/keyfix/run-keyfix /usr/bin/ 6)make the script run-keyfix to run on startup! (go to startup applications and add it) THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION! THIS IS A STUPID FIX! *don't use these scripts to make weapons! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247668 Title: NumLock turned off on layout switch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1247668/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
