Description Alberto Salvia Novella 2017-08-24 16:38:27 UTC

HOW TO REPRODUCE:
1. Turn the num block key on.
2. Reboot and log in again.

RESULT:
- The key is off, where it should be as in the last session.
- This small think forces you to think if the num block is turned on every time you use the numerical keyboard. Due to its frequency it's quite annoying.

I found some discussion of this and a temporary workaround on this thread: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=133089

Add a "Numlock=on" string inside /etc/sddm.conf

This should go to the "See Also" entry, not be list as dependency or blocker. Thus I removed both entries from there. They are already linked via the duplicate entry, so I am not adding them in "See Also".
