Any chance it might be a hardware issue? It really sounds weird for the NumLock LED to be lit without the numerical keypad being active. well that's possible.. it's a USB Microsoft Natural Keyboard 4000, I'll try another keyboard and see what turns up, and yes, it is odd. I've just reread what you said:
Another annoyance is that when I switch to, let's say TTY1 from a graphical session on TTY7, the NumLock Key shows lit on my keyboard. But when logging in on TTY1, NumLock really isn't on, just the light is list. I'll try it out on my system too, maybe something weird is happening at the time of login. Problem confirmed. If I switch to tty1 with Numlock on, in tty1 the LED remains on, but the keypad isn't in numeric mode. Sounds like poor initialization somewhere. I suggest opening a bugreport.
So I did some further testing, installing Fedora 24 KDE Alpha and the behavior is exactly the same as openSUSE, so I was wrong in my earlier email. I forgot that the last time I used Fedora just a couple months ago, it was on a completely different motherboard (completely BIOS-based) and NumLock showed as lit on the keyboard and worked when switching to a text console, and this was with the same exact keyboard as I use on openSUSE. Just to be sure, I checked again in the UEFI BIOS settings of my motherboard and there is nothing there for for NumLock, surprising as it may be. If I am to open a bug report, what should I report it against? sdm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
