[Bug 1440057] [NEW] numlockx is always invoked and i can't switch off

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

I'm in a fresh install of Lubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (three days ago).

Because the default greeter for Lubuntu (lightdm-gtk-greeter) doesn't
fit my requeriments, i installed pantheon-greeter from the Elementary-OS
repository (only essentials deb files, not installing the PPA
repository) and one of the requeriments of pantheon-greeter is numlockx.

The greeter is working like should be, but when i start a session, the
numlock is on after the greeter, and my notebook doens't have it, making
keys JKLUIO -> 123456 respectively and so on, having to turn off
manually every time.

This can't be a problem with pantheon-greeter because if i config again
to use lightdm-gtk-greeter, is happening again. Since i install
pantheon-greeter (and its dependency numlockx) it's happening in all
greeters.

The problem is can't configure it. In /etc/lightdm/pantheon-greeter.conf
"activate-numlock=false" do nothing, in /etc/lxdm/default.conf is
unchanged as default (## uncomment and set to set numlock on your
keyboard ↲ # numlock=0) and change it do nothing, and any other option
(/etc/xdg/autostart/*, /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart, ...) and
everything i searched in internet simply do nothing.

I'm talking about numlockx because i know it's numlockx what is invoked
for something, i created a dummy script replacing /usr/bin/numlockx what
make a registry of what program is calling numlockx and always is
"/bin/bash /usr/sbin/lightdm-session /usr/bin/lxsession -s Lubuntu -e
LXDE" after greeter login.
