+== Console ==
+
+=== Using a separate service ===
+
+* [[Pacman|Install]] the package {{AUR|systemd-numlockontty}} from the [[AUR]].<br>Now you should enable the {{ic|numLockOnTty}} daemon. Read [[Daemons]] for more details.
+
+* Alternatively, if you don't want to install an aur package to implement this, you can simply create a service file in {{ic|/etc/systemd/system}} like:{{bc|<nowiki>
+[Unit]
+Description=Switch on numlock from tty1 to tty6
+
+[Service]
+ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'for tty in /dev/tty{1..6};do /usr/bin/setleds -D +num < \"$tty\";done'
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target</nowiki>}}{{note|The filename should have a {{ic|.service}} suffix, e.g. {{ic|numlock1to6.service}}.}} Don't forget to enable the service after you create it.
+
+=== Extending getty@.service ===
+
+This is simpler than using a separate service (especially since systemd-198) and does not hardcode the number of VTs in a script. Create a directory for drop-in configuration files:
+
+{{bc|# mkdir /etc/systemd/system/getty@.service.d}}
+
+Now add the following file in this directory.
+
+{{hc|activate-numlock.conf|<nowiki>
+[Service]
+ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c 'setleds +num < /dev/%I'
+</nowiki>}}
+
+=== Bash alternative ===
+
+Add {{ic|setleds -D +num}} to {{ic|~/.bash_profile}}. Note that, unlike the other methods, this will not take effect until after you log in.
+
+== X.org ==
+
+Various methods are available.
+
+=== startx ===
+
+Install the {{Pkg|numlockx}} package and add it to the {{ic|~/.xinitrc}} file before {{Ic|exec}}:
+
+ #!/bin/sh
+ #
+ # ~/.xinitrc
+ #
+ # Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
+ #
+ 
+ numlockx &
+ 
+ exec window_manager
+
+=== KDM ===
+
+If you use KDM as a login manager, add:
+
+ numlockx on
+
+to the {{ic|/usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup}}, or the {{ic|/opt/kde/share/config/kdm/Xsetup}} for KDM3.
+
+Note that this file will be overwritten on update without creating a {{ic|.pacnew}} file. To prevent this, add the following line to {{ic|/etc/pacman.conf}} file (omit the leading slash in the path):
+
+ NoUpgrade = usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup
+
+=== KDE4 Users ===
+
+Go to System Settings, under the Hardware/Input Devices/Keyboard item you will find an option to select the behavior of NumLock.
+
+==== Alternate Method ====
+
+Alternatively, add the script the {{ic|~/.kde4/Autostart/numlockx.sh}} containing:
+
+ #!/bin/sh
+ numlockx on
+
+And make it executable:
+
+ $ chmod +x ~/.kde4/Autostart/numlockx.sh
+
+==== Alternate Method 2 ====
+
+This method enables num lock in KDM login screen (e.g. numeric password)
+
+1) Disable "Themed Greeter" in System Settings -> Login Screen
+
+2) in file /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc find section
+
+  [X-*-Greeter]
+
+Right after that line, add this:
+
+  NumLock=On
+
+=== GDM ===
+
+First make sure that you have {{Pkg|numlockx}} (from extra) installed then add the following code to {{ic|/etc/gdm/Init/Default}}:
+
+ if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then
+       /usr/bin/numlockx on
+ fi
+
+=== GNOME ===
+
+When not using the GDM login manager, numlockx can be added to GNOME's start-up applications.
+
+[[pacman|Install]] {{Pkg|numlockx}} from the [[official repositories]]. Then, add a start-up command to launch {{ic|numlockx}}.
+ $ gnome-session-properties
+
+The above command opens the '''Startup Applications Preferences''' applet. Click '''''Add'''''  and enter the following:
+
+{| class="wikitable"
+| Name:      ||  ''Numlockx''
+|-
+| Command:   ||  ''/usr/bin/numlockx on''
+|-
+| Comment:   ||  ''Turns on numlock.''
+|}
+
+{{note|This is not a system-wide change, repeat these steps for each user wishing to activate NumLock after logging in.}}
+
+=== SDDM ===
+
+In the file {{ic|/etc/sddm.conf}}, add the following line under the {{ic|[General]}} section:
+
+ [General]
+ Numlock=on
+
+=== SLiM ===
+
+In the file {{ic|/etc/slim.conf}} find the line and uncomment it (remove the {{Ic|#}}):
+
+ #numlock             on
+
+=== OpenBox ===
+
+In the file {{ic|~/.config/openbox/autostart}} add the line:
+
+ numlockx &
+
+And then save the file.
+
+=== LightDM ===
+See [[LightDM#NumLock on by default]].
