One of the things that instantly annoyed me the first time I really started using Ubuntu was that the num lock was turned off by default at boot. A very small thing, but one that seems odd they wouldn’t fix since it’s so incredibly simple. Here’s how I did it.
- Once you’re in your Ubuntu desktop, make sure your num lock is on (I don’t think it really needs to be, but I did it just in case)
- Open Synaptic Package Manager and search for ‘numlockx’ and install it (or open a terminal and type ‘sudo apt-get install numlockx‘)
Reboot your computer to see if num lock stays on this time. If it doesn’t, there are some more configurations on the official Ubuntu site that you can follow.
Copy the code below to your web site.
