NUMLOCKX Debian KDE4
in [Debian]
|
From: Jimmy Johnson on 3 Aug 2010 20:00 Here's the problem, in unstable and testing numlock on, light not on, numlock off, light on ?!? I've tried it by removing numlockx and it's config files and numlock works as expected (OK), but numlock is not on at boot and I won't it on at boot, checking the box to turn numlock on, will not turn it on at login. I don't have the problem with kde3/Lenny. How can I get the light to work proper (light on/numlock on) at boot without removing numlockx? A little more info: both testing and unstable are currently using the same kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64 and I think the problem came with the kernel. -- Jimmy Johnson Debian Testing at sda12 Registered Linux User #380263 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

There are some reports in both, Debian BTS and KDE. Check if any of these apply in your case: *** /usr/bin/kde4: NumLock led behaves inversely if num lock is turned on kde4 startup http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533831 Bug 183308 - Numlock Light Indicator Shuts Off After Activation within KDE 4.2 and Subsequent Log out or Reboot https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183308 *** So maybe a KDE bug/problem? :-?

I read those bugs and their problem seems to be with KDE and numlock, while my problem is with numlockx and the latest kernel, it may also have to do with kde, not sure as it works as expected when I remove numlockx, kde turns numlock on after login, numlockx turns numlock on before login and that is what I want. It is turning numlock on but the status light is off while numlock is on and the light is on when numlock is off, so the status light is not working as expected and this seems to have happened since installing the latest kernel. Should be a workaround to just change the status of the light!?! -- Jimmy Johnson Ubuntu Lucid and Trinity KDE 3.5.11 - EXT4 at sda10 Registered Linux User #380263 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This 12 year old bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=482592 describes the problem, but they think the problem is with a new xorg and I think the problem is with the new kernel and it also seems numlockx is a orphaned package. :-( Anyways the problem can be reproduced, I have the problem on two testing systems and one unstable system, both are using the same version numlockx and the same kernel. -- Jimmy Johnson Ubuntu Lucid and Trinity KDE 3.5.11 - EXT4 at sda10 Registered Linux User #380263 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Dunno why are you thinking this is a kernel issue. - Does the num lock works as expected on tty? - Does creating a new user and login in a KDE session works? > Should be a workaround to just change the status of the light!?! "numlockx" should not be needed anymore in KDE as kdm has an option to handle that from "kdmrc" config file :-?
