Numlock linux mint ���

Включите NumLock при запуске в Linux Mint

Ситуация:

Когда я включаю свой Linux Mint 17.3 / 18 Cinnamon, NumLock отключается в окне входа в систему.

Задача:

Включите NumLock автоматически при запуске.

Для всех версий Linux Mint

Вам необходимо установить программу, необходимую для этой цели — numlockx ; справочная страница :

Выберите, хотите ли вы достичь цели через CLI или GUI ниже.

Linux Mint 19.x (LightDM)

GUI ; наверное наиболее удобно при нормальной работе:

После numlockx установки, следующий пункт меню в окне входа в систему -> Настройки называется:

становится доступным; как вы видете:

Это добавит строку:

в следующий файл:

Linux Mint 18.x (MDM)

GUI ; наверное наиболее удобно при нормальной работе:

После numlockx установки, следующий пункт меню в окне входа в систему -> Параметры называется:

становится доступным; как вы видете:

Как указано в другом ответе , это добавит следующую строку /etc/mdm/mdm.conf :

CLI ; подходит, если вы настраиваете другие компьютеры через SSH, например:

Откройте текстовый редактор, в котором вы разбираетесь с этим файлом, например, nano если не уверены:

Добавьте эти строки в начале файла:

Как указывает Жиль , не ставьте exec перед командой.

For all versions of Linux Mint

You need to install a program needed for this purpose — numlockx ; man page:

Choose if you wish to achieve the goal through CLI or GUI below.

Linux Mint 20.x / 19.x (LightDM)

GUI; probably most convenient under normal operation:

Once numlockx is installed, the following menu item in Login Window -> Settings called:

becomes available; as you can see:

This will add the line:

to the following file:

Linux Mint 18.x / 17.x (MDM)

GUI; probably most convenient under normal operation:

Once numlockx is installed, the following menu item in Login Window -> Options called:

becomes available; as you can see:

As pointed out in the other answer, this will add the following line to /etc/mdm/mdm.conf :

CLI; suitable if you are setting other computers up through SSH, for instance:

Open a text editor you are skilled in with this file, e.g. nano if unsure:

Add these lines at the beginning of the file:

As pointed out by Gilles, don’t put exec in front of the command.

numlock on startup on linux mint 18.2

i updated my linux to the last version as Linux Mint 18.2 Sarah. after update my numlock is off. i changed mdm to lightdm. this method is not working.

Jaleks’ answer was only almost right for me, but this finally worked (Linux Mint 18.2 Cinnamon, manually updated to LightDM (from LM 18.1)):

Install sudo apt install numlockx , after that, edit /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/90-slick-greeter.conf file and add the following line at the end:

try to edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf :

Just for reference: weird enough there is a whole ecosystem for numlock settings, depending on which display/window managers one uses, see e.g. the always great Arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Activating_Numlock_on_Bootup

On plain Ubuntu

First install the numlockx package:

On plain Ubuntu, the LightDM directory in which to create the configuration file is named slightly differently:

The following configuration worked for me:

In this very configuration file, one can also define the keyboard layout to be used during the LightDM login session.

Enable NumLock on at Login screen — Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.3

Enable NumLock on at Login screen — Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.3

Post by jcrcarmo » Sun May 08, 2016 11:17 pm

Hello guys and greetings from Brazil! Here’s a little tutorial I’ve created to enable the NumLock button to activate automatically at the Login screen, and stay on after that. It’s designed for Linux Mint Cinammon Rosa 17.3 but I’m sure it works for other versions too. This is useful if you use the number keypad a lot (like I do), and especially if your passwords are all numeric (like mine are). Let’s begin!

1) Download the application numlockx via terminal (administrator password is required):
sudo apt-get install numlockx

2) Edit the Default file that controls what Linux Mint starts at boot:
sudo nano /etc/mdm/Init/Default

3) Go to the end of this file and insert the code below BEFORE the last line » exit 0«:
if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then
/usr/bin/numlockx on
fi

4) Hold the keys CTRL X and type Y to exit saving the changes to the file

5) On your desktop, now go to:
Menu —> Preferences —> StartUp Applications

6) Click on Add and select Custom command

7) A window will pop up. Enter the following info:
for Name, type: numlockx
for Command, type: /usr/bin/numlockx
for Comment, you can leave it blank
for Startup delay, type: 0

7) Click on Save and close the Startup Applications window

You’re all done! Next time you reboot or start your computer, the NumLock key will be automatically activated at the login screen and remain on after that. Have fun!

Num Lock on startup

Num Lock on startup

Post by gimme4 » Thu Nov 01, 2012 5:55 am

Hi everyone, I’m not sure this post is in the right place but I’m sure that it will be moved if it isn’t.
I am running mint 13 mate with compiz, My problem is that when i boot my laptop up the num lock light comes on ( enabled in bios ), but as soon as mint gets hold of the system the light goes off, My login password is all numbers and it is so much easier to use the number pad, is there any way to get the num lock to be enabled so that I can enter my password easily, please remember that I am a NOOB so step by step instructions would be appreciated.

That’s a well known problem !

First you need to install «numlockx» using synaptic.

Then open a terminal & type :

Outchhhhh ! My mistake ! I didn’t realize that you were using MATE. Sorry for that.

You could have replaced gedit by pluma in the command line and that would have work like a charm. Sorry for that. You can uninstall gedit now

I had the same problem as gimme4 and it seems that this is a common issue.
I have fixed this issue on Fedora17 in the past but didn’t make any notes of it so I goggled to this tread

I’m just installed LinuxMint 13 Maya / Cinnamon 64-bit with updates for the back ported issues and things are starting to look nice but then I have the num lock issue before logging in.
— Added numlockx with Synaptic
— Edited the Default as killer de bug suggests, no problem

On reboot the Num Lock key lit up and I can enter the login credentials containing numbers without the need to enable Num Lock every time
BUT immediate when I have logged in it is turned off

I’d like to keep it always on since it’s a keyboard with separate numerical keypad.
Any ideas?

The strange behaviour that turned off Num Lock immediate after login occurred once, the first time after I applied this (on reboot) but later on during the night it worked perfect so I guess that it was some hiccup the first time and it’s not an issue any more.

Thanks for the tips!

This post helped me . I was successful in getting numlockx installed in Mint 8 but I couldn’t do it through the Synaptic package manager because all of the repositories are long since dead .

I won’t go into the gory details of how I found everything, but here was the solution:

From: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu . /numlockx/
I downloaded: numlockx_1.1-10build1_i386.deb to my USB thumb drive at /media/artwork/linux/general
«artwork» is the label of my Thumbdrive, and /linux/general is the path to my working folder.

From a Terminal session:
mint@mint

# dpkg -i /media/artwork/linux/general/numlockx_1.1-10_i386.deb

This installed numlockx thus enabling the on, off, and toggle options for the numlockx command!

Blessings in abundance, all the best, & ENJOY!
