How to enable Numlock on login screen

[anon222]

Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open Terminal
First you need to install the package numlockx. Type in:

Code:

sudo apt-get install numlockx

Then you need to change /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file

Two ways to do it:
1. Run this command:

Code:

sudo sh -c "printf '\ngreeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on' >> /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf"

It will add this line greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on at the end of the file.

2. Open /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file with superuser privileges

Code:

sudo  leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

then add this line to the end of the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file

Code:

greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on

Additional info:
greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx off
will disable Numlock on login screen

Code:

sudo  leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
