In the System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Login Screen (SDDM) there is "Numlock On" setting missing. Package: kde-config-sddm Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Go to System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Login Screen (SDDM). Actual Results: numlock setting is missing Expected Results: numlock setting option Almost everyone has numbers in their password so we really need to have an option turn the numlock on on login screen. Previously a had "/usr/bin/numlockx on" in "/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf". I find this advice: In the file /etc/sddm.conf, add the following line under the [General] section: [General] Numlock=on But there is not such file in my Kubuntu 15.04. Does anyone know where is the config file for SDDM in Kubuntu?
How to do it yourself: (as root) 1. create a config file sddm --example-config > /etc/sddm.conf 2. edit /etc/sddm.conf [General] # Initial NumLock state # Valid values: on|off|none # If property is set to none, numlock won't be changed Numlock=on 3. save it, done. Still it should be in System Settings.
It will be nice if "Numlock On" setting can be add.
Any news on this nice feature ?
Any news on this little feature ?
Hello, Just a little reminder to add this feature.
+1 for me - definitely missing.
A little reminder.
It's still needed :)
Numlock on doesn't work
I need this config option too. Create/edit a config file is not a good way to ON numlock on boot.
I'm thinking using KDE again but will this be "fixed" ? Thanks !
Hello, Do you think that can be add now ? Thanks !
Jeremy, we appreciate your passion! However, bugging the developers like this won't make it get done any faster; in fact, it's more likely to irritate them and drive them away. Here are some more effective ways to contribute: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved Thanks!
There's a patch! https://phabricator.kde.org/D22634
Git commit 7d51edcc094bf7f9d68f459e3d37b6eca0d77114 by Filip Fila. Committed on 22/07/2019 at 19:46. Pushed by filipf into branch 'master'. Sync NumLock preference Summary: SDDM currently doesn't respect the user's choice on whether or not NumLock should be on or off by default. Fortunately there is a config option that can be filled in with info from Plasma that only needed a little bit of translating.
