[Bug 1364333] Re: Num lock LED doesn't light up while Num lock state is "on".

 

Ihor Romanyshyn, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A78LM_LX/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your BIOS is available (1603). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Once the BIOS is updated, then please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Num lock LED doesn't light up while Num lock state is "on".

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Num lock LED doesn't light up while Num lock state is "on". If you
  press Num lock key, it will be put to "off". And when you press it
  again, it will be "on" and LED will on. In some cases LED will be off
  again while Num keys will continue to work same as Num LED is enabled.
  All above is true for logon screen, for desktop and for terminals by
  ctrl+alt+F[1-6]. Found it on multiple computers with numpad. This bug
  presents on v3.17-rc2-utopic too.
