Debian 9 Gnome : numlockx
Debian 9 Gnome : numlockx
Hello everyone,
It is not my first time that I have installed a debian system and I usually know how to activate numlockx thanks to this documentation but it does not seem to work on Debian 9 Gnome...
Do you know what might have changed between debian 8 and 9?
Thank you for your help!

Re: Debian 9 Gnome : numlockx
i don't speak or read french, but "activating" numlockx probably means autostarting it.
you can do that from your user session, startup applications (assuming gnome).

Re: Debian 9 Gnome : numlockx
With Debian 8 numlockx worked fine at the logon screen, now with Debian 9 something is new and is not configured in the same way.

Re: Debian 9 Gnome : numlockx
Insofar available, set the numlock through a gnome "keyboard preferences" option related to "numeric keypad keys"?

I created ~/.xprofile and /etc/xprofile with:

I created ~/.gnomerc and ~/.xsessionrc with

I am self-taught in Debian/linux. I have been using it for 8 years but I am not an expert. I have already browsed through documentations and forums, and maybe the solution is somewhere in those documentations but I did not find it because I could not understand it. I did my part of searching but I CAN'T find it.

Re: Debian 9 Gnome : numlockx
It did not work. I tried the 3rd and the 4th methods (the others do not apply to Gnome).

Re: Debian 9 Gnome : numlockx
have you tried the console options from the archwiki article you linked?
i think your problem is that most advice applies to the X session, but the login manager is not really part of the X session.
so maybe the tty stuff will work.

Re: Debian 9 Gnome : numlockx
apt-get numlockx should install it so that it automatically starts at startup.
Try dpkg-reconfigure numlockx
... and check that /etc/X11/Xession-d/55-numlockx file exists (man page suggests its copied from /usr/share/doc/numlockx/55numlockx). Also try changing /etc/default/numlockx to a value of ON rather than AUTO

Re: Debian 9 Gnome : numlockx
You have to be in an X session for numlockx to work (which you seem to, since it works manually). GDM uses Wayland by default (not sure from which versions onwards), does using the Xorg backend help?
Also: do check if adding a line in /etc/gdm3/Init/Default helps or not.
There's also a very old (~6-7 years) unfixed bug which might be relevant to your situation.

The source code for the kernel, library, etc. should fit on one diskette. Sources for the GNU utilities will vary (and will be big). The sources to GNU emacs will take at least 3 disks. -- Theodore Ts'o, 1992 (distributing the first Linux disks)
