This method enable numlock during login and after login, so you have the numlock always ON in your LINUX MINT and LMDE

1) FIRST, install numlockx : sudo apt-get install numlockx

2) SECOND, go to menu and type startup application and opent it.

3) Click on +add

4) On "Name" put NUMLOCK ON

5) On "Command" put /usr/bin/numlockx on

6) Click on "+add" and "close" .


7) Go to /etc/mdm/Init/ and edit Default

Add before exit 0 these lines:

if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then
exec /usr/bin/numlockx on
fi


Just restart your computer and next time you turn on it you have Numlock On always.

This numlock thing is really some annoying thing! I'm allways perplex that Linux (Mint) doesn't gives you an easy option to enable/disable numlock on startup/logon.

In fact it does!
The next version of MDM (available on github and in Mint 16) has an option to auto enable numlock.
