    Or, if you’re using a desktop with lots of options like KDE, you don’t need to install anything at all. :-) In the KDE settings dialog, Select "Input devices" and there’s an option called "Numlock on KDE startup" that you can set to yes, no, or leave unchanged.

    or, you can turn it on in your BIOS, baby!

    An install in ubuntu 12.04 works from the command line but not on system startup, even if placed in the startup apps preferences box.

    install numlockx doesn’t help at all in linux mint 9.I have checked bios, and it’s on there. Is there another way to fix thix this?
