Hi,
I used to install numlockx at each new release of xubuntu and it used to work fine. In 18.10, it works well for the login BUT after login, it is switched off. I think it did not do that with 18.04.
After lengthy searches on the net, I ended using xfconf to create a new entry with Numlock as boolean and true. Then what I oserbved is that:
The keyboards.xml file was created in my .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml folder (and I checked it was not there before since I saw that a fix was to add the Numlock property in that file)
After login, the LED for Num. Lock was turned off and then turned on again quickly
So in the end, it works but it has to be done for every user on the machine and it doesn't explain why the numlock is switched to off after login.
Anyone could explain what happens exactly?
Thanks.
