The NumLock is not activated at startup

Postby dglent » Jun 15th, '16, 06:01

I use the lxqt environment and since the last update the NumLock is deactivated at every startup.
The last updated brought the following packages:

You can follow one of these arch linux wiki methods to activate it automatically on boot.

Perhaps you can install numlockx and set it to run on boot as daemon in MCC?

Numlockx is quite dead project in these days,arch wiki don't mention it because of it's bad development.
Also numlockx support only sysvinit no systemd support added to it.
More better is use systemd service mentioned in arch linux wiki.
