I'm not sure what your point is, Lawrence? Knowing that numlockx exists wasn't the problem; it's certainly the top result on Google. My post was regarding using it in this situation, which I assure you was more difficult than just finding the name of a well-known application. E On Thu, 9 Jul 2015 17:14:38 +1200, Eric Light wrote:
One of the biggest things was figuring out how to use numlockx from the CLI to start with. Once I got that working with the xinit session it was only a little more playing around.
But getting to that point was a nightmare. None of the guides I found online even came close to doing the trick.
Here are the first two things I tried, a minute ago: root(a)theon:~ # man -k numlock numlock: nothing appropriate. root(a)theon:~ # apt-cache search numlock gkrellm-leds - Keyboard LED monitor for GKrellM numlockx - enable NumLock in X11 sessions _______________________________________________ wlug mailing list | wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Unsubscribe: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug
