[opensuse-factory] /etc/sysconfig/keyboard KBD_NUMLOCK="yes" ignored in TW20171214
This always initialized numlock ON on the vttys in the past. It doesn't in my latest installation, even though BIOS is set to ON. Is this a new expectation, or a bug? I see nothing open or closed in BZ that was new in past year. If expected, what's the new method? -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."

I think it has stopped working for a long time. Some people who never use the VTs will rush now to offer advice on how to configure kde or sddm. What I have found to be working is to add the folowing to /etc/init.d/boot.local: for tty in /dev/tty{1..9}; do setleds -D +num < $tty done -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Bugzilla number?
As I wrote, I found none. I didn't file one, because 1-I don't know if this is a new expectation, as other things have been being relocated from /etc/sysconfig to e.g. /etc/alternatives or /etc/default. 2-I have multiple TW installations, and it only happens on the (fresh) UEFI boot one. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1010880 That's an old 42.2 bug. I have many 42.2, 42.3 and TW installations, and mine is a brand new behavior that has nothing to do with Xorg. I've always had to separately configure DM and X to turn on NUM in graphical.target. Here /etc/sysconfig/keyboard has only ever worked for the vttys, and now it does not, but only on the two new host gb250 installations booting UEFI. I've been using *SUSE since 8.0, and until now, /etc/sysconfig/keyboard has always been sufficient - I've never needed setleds except in other distros. TW20171216/4.14.6-1.5 and 42.3/4.4.92-31.1 MBR/BIOS host gx780, among my many other 42.2, 42.3, 15.0 and TW (non-UEFI) installations, is still obeying /etc/sysconfig/keyboard's KBD_NUMLOCK="yes". -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

Like I said, it's old
my many other 42.2, 42.3, 15.0 and TW (non-UEFI) installations, is still obeying /etc/sysconfig/keyboard's KBD_NUMLOCK="yes".
That's strange, because if I do: grep -sR 'KBD_NUMLOCK' /etc /usr I come up with nothing. But look, the bugzilla is heating up. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It's there in my two fresh 15.0 and TW installations.

Indeed. It looks like Stefan Dirsch noticed this thread, and why: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1010880 -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

I mean nothing that uses it.
