turn num lock permanently ON

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 5517 / 2 Years ago, tue, march 1, 2022, 12:57:00

Is there a way to turn NUM LOCK on permanently, across all remote desktop sessions (99% Windows OS) and my local install of Ubuntu 14.04? I have never met anyone in the past 25 years of computing who actually uses a 10-key keypad with NUM LOCK off.

All day I'm hitting the Num Lock key to turn it ON for a particular Remmina (RDP) session. I connect to the same servers most of the day, and my Remmina settings (settings that never actually SAVE!) are to "Remember last view mode for each connection" but I don't think that setting has anything to do with keyboard stuff, just video and interface settings -- WHO'S SETTINGS DON'T SAVE EITHER! MADDENING!!!!!

Thanks!

The issue with Num Lock key in Remmina can be fixed by installing a newer version from ppa:remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next. This is what I got on Linux Mint 17.1 (based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS):

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get upgrade

$ dpkg -l | grep freerdp

ii  freerdp-x11                        1.2.0~git20141201+dfsg1-0trusty1  amd64  RDP client for Windows Terminal Services

ii  libfreerdp-plugins-standard:amd64  1.2.0~git20141201+dfsg1-0trusty1  amd64  RDP client for Windows Terminal Services (plugins)

ii  libfreerdp1:amd64                  1.2.0~git20141201+dfsg1-0trusty1  amd64  RDP client for Windows Terminal Services (library)

ii  libpam-freerdp                     1.0.1+13.10.20130724-0ubuntu1     amd64  PAM Module to auth against an RDP server using FreeRDP

$ dpkg -l | grep remmina

ii  remmina                            1.1.1-1+547+next~ubuntu14.04.1    amd64  remote desktop client for GNOME desktop environment

ii  remmina-common                     1.1.1-1+547+next~ubuntu14.04.1    all    common files for remmina remote desktop client

ii  remmina-plugin-rdp                 1.1.1-1+547+next~ubuntu14.04.1    amd64  RDP plugin for remmina remote desktop client

It seems this build of remmina uses freerdp-x11.
