What is the standard way to turn numlock on by default on startup on lubuntu 10.04?
Lubuntu installs LXDE. I saw some aother solutions for other flavours, but maybe there is a special setting for the lubuntu flavour.
I tried already numlock=0 and numlock=1 in /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf , but numlock stays off on the next boot.
All other operating systems, also other ubuntu systems, do have numlock turned on on the same machine after booting.
I installed numlockx, and it can change the value, but is this the standard lubuntu way to go? If so, what is the standard place in the lubuntu startup sequene to insert 'numlockx on', how do I set this up correctly?
I also looked at the included lxde keyboard configuration system gui tool, but there are only few options, numlock default not among them.
(Please before you mark this as duplicate consider if it really fits, I could not find this answered in this way. I am interestd to know the standard way for lubuntu (and not kubuntu or gnome) in detail.)
There is also an explanation of the lxdm config file here, but it does not really explain what "lxde numlock suport" means (how could a gui not support numlock?) and what the settings 0 and 1 mean:
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/lxdm.1.html
If there is no other LXDE or lubuntu standard way to do it, I am planning to use numlockx and add this line:
/usr/bin/numlockx on
at the beginning of either
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
or
~/.xinitrc
