Hi,
I switched from OS13.2 to Leap 42.2 a few days ago. Now I'm having the annoying problem that at logon I have to press numlock to enable the numbers-block on the keyboard of my laptop. In the BIOS the numlock is ON. When I boot, the numlock is on, also when grub is active. But after that, the numlock-led goes out, until I manually press the numlock button. In Yast/Hardware/systemkeyboard/advanced I did try to set the numlock to yes, but that didn't work. And it was set to BIOS, so it should have worked.
Am I missing something ? I read the thread of about a year ago, but that was about numlock at boot.
I hated it when Windows10 did that, and I considered myself lucky I was running Linux at home. Now I'm having the same problem on Linux :-(.

I've had this issue for a while running Leap 42.1 and 42.2 with Plasma. But, after forcing numlock to be ON in the sddm config file (that was the only way I could ensure it would work, none of the other Plasma or YaST settings did it for me) I find the LED is temperamental. Indeed, bizarrely, whilst reading your original post and this thread two minutes ago, I glanced down and noted the numlock LED was on, and now on typing this reply I see it is off. Yet numlock is always activated, it's just a problem of the LED. It is currently acting as a number pad if I type with it despite looking like it's set to off. I just checked whether I'd set the use of the LED to indicate when I'm on an alternate keyboard layout, I was sure I'd done that previously, but no, in Plasma System Settings there's nothing ticked there. So I just decided to reactivate that and choose scroll lock as the LED that indicates the change, and now when I press the key combo to change layout both the numlock and scroll lock light up. I change back again and scroll lock extinguishes but numlock stays active. So I'm really flummoxed as to what's going on there, it's a mess. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
