Bug: (SolydXee) NumLock Setting Not Honored -- 01.21.2019
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- BIOS setting is not honored.
-- Settings > Keyboard > Behavior > General "Restore num lock state on startup" is not honored.

Following the "xfce" instructions in the 1st link provided by Arjen below:

The NEW /home/$USER/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/keyboards.xml works PERFECTLY!!

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<channel name="keyboards" version="1.0">
  <property name="Default" type="empty">
    <property name="Numlock" type="bool" value="true"/>
    <property name="RestoreNumlock" type="bool" value="true"/>
  </property>
</channel>

Thank you very much for your assistance in resolving this issue!!

SolydX1901 seems to have the same problem. I'll have to check with the BIOS settings again though - but I clearly remember having set those to "numlock".

Would this work?

I assume the "numlockx on" did solve this issue?
I need to implement that in our ISOs.

[EDIT]
I see now. You edited your OP.

Ah I was just updating the message . . . Somewhere in my travels, I believe "numlockx" was depreciated and removed from the repositories.

As an aside . . . I performed a new bare-metal install of SolydXee (solydxee_10_64_201812.iso) and subsequent updates returns normal numlock operation through a quick tweek:

Settings Manager > Settings Editor > Channel > keyboards

Right Click "Numlock" under Property and Edit . . . change the "Value" to TRUE and save.

It updates the keybaord.xml thus:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<channel name="keyboards" version="1.0">
  <property name="Default" type="empty">
    <property name="Numlock" type="bool" value="true"/>
  </property>
</channel>

Numlock is working for me and seems to be persistent through reboots.
