enable numlock at session start, linux mint, num lock

If you need the numlock to be on after logging in...

sudo apt-get install numlockx

easy.

If you need numlock on before logging in try using setleds in a rc.d or init.d script.  Reference: https://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-install-list/2004-June/msg00108.html

 setleds -D +num < /dev/tty1

  1. Doesn't work well, it lit up after you have entered the user credentials, I need it to be on when I shall enter them without to push the "num lock" every time
