[SOLVED] 10-key keypad - Bart - 01-08-2015

With Lite 2.2 my 10 numbers key pad works to type in my password when starting Linux but not afterwards. On an Acer Aspire 5740. Num lock is on.

Thanks, Bart

Hi Bart,
Try this....

Menu > Settings > Keyboard and uncheck the 'Restore Num Lock State on Startup'

Do you have to manually add/remove Num Locks !

Bart, can you try this:
Code:
gksudo leafpad /usr/share/X11/xkb/compat/complete
comment out mousekeys and acsessx(full).
So the file will look like this:
Code:
default xkb_compatibility "complete"  {
    include "basic"
    augment "iso9995"
    //augment "mousekeys"
    //augment "accessx(full)"
    augment "misc"
    augment "xfree86"
    augment "level5"
    augment "caps(caps_lock)"
};
That will disable "Control the pointer using Keypad"
It's a builtin functionality from The X server usually causing the problem on Ubuntu.
Save it, and close leafpad. See if that fixes the problem.

Doesn't matter if I lock numbers or not I have no use of it it does not work at all.

I have a weakened left arm do to parkinsons so having the 10 key pad available is a great help to me.
