It's been so long since I've had to dink around with setting numlock on at boot....
Environment:
Mint Debian 64 bit Gnome spin 201109
bios is set for numlock on at boot
Fully updated ops
Haven't been able to find the setting or control to have the numlock on at boot as the default. Guidance appreciated.
Thanks,
DataMan

Thanks for the link Vincent.
For Mint Debian, the path will have to be modified from gdm to gdm3.
The fix in the link fixes the numlock problem (for me
).

Re: [Solved] numlock on at boot
for KDE:
sudo kate /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup
then add
if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then
/usr/bin/numlockx on
fi
to the file and save it.
Just wanted to add documentation to this topic.
