• NumLock On After KDE 4 Startup

    Weird that this isn’t a standard configuration setting, and very weird that you need to install extra software to enable you to do this. Anyway, here’s how:

    ?View Code BASH
    sudo apt-get install numlockx

    or “emerge” or “urpmi” or “yum-yum” or whatever’s your flavor ;)

    Then, in system settings, go to Autostart, click Add Script, and in the dialog window type in the path to the numlockx program, probably /usr/bin/numlockx

    That’s it :) It’s not a toggle thing, so a subsequent login won’t turn it off again ;)
