This past week or so, I have noticed that Num Lock is off when I log into Plasma despite my having it turned on in the System Settings. https://i.imgur.com/gVwnwOv.png I am using Neon (dev edition) packages for Bionic.
I'm also seeing this bug on Neon. KDE Frameworks 5.41.0 Qt 5.9.3 (built against 5.9.3) Linux lepore-desktop 4.10.0-42-generic #46~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 4 15:57:59 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Same here. BIOS enables it. During systemd boot messages it turns off. It is set to be enabled in systemsettings, but will not be enabled by KDE Arch Linux qt: qt5-base 5.10.1 Linux: 4.15.15-1-ARCH plasma-framework 5.44.0 plasma-workspace 5.12.4 systemsettings 5.12.4 sddm 0.17.0
I have it on Manjaro, Plasma 5.13.4 qt 5.11.1 Framework 5.48.0 4.14.65-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Aug 18 13:29:56 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux This may be related to SDDM bugs. https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/508 I think it would be best if this option in Plasma could be independent of other system components. Most people advise to change option is SDDM config file but this didn't work for me. This works for me: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/solved-how-to-turn-on-numlock-on-boot-on-plasma/8301/8 Create a file named in /etc/xdg/autostart. Using a text editor, put this in the file: cat numlockx-on.desktop [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Numlock on Exec=numlockx on NoDisplay=true OnlyShowIn=KDE Name[en_US]=numlockx-on
Sorry. Obviously file name must be numlockx-on.desktop and must be located in /etc/xdg/autostart With the following content: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Numlock on Exec=numlockx on NoDisplay=true OnlyShowIn=KDE Name[en_US]=numlockx-on
