{{i18n|Activating numlock on bootup}}
{{Out of date}}
== TTY (Teletype) Consoles 1-6 ==
To activate NumLock during normal bootup in TTY consoles 1-6 (tty1 -> tty6), add the following line to {{ic|/etc/rc.local}}:
for tty in /dev/tty?; do /usr/bin/setleds -D +num < "$tty"; done
If strange things start to happen (the NumLock LED is on, but the num pad still works as arrow keypad), there seems to be a conflict between {{Ic|setleds}} and Xserver.
Limit the {{Ic|for}} command only to the consoles you have set on {{ic|/etc/inittab}}. For example, for the first 6 consoles (default) :
for tty in /dev/tty{1..6}; do ...
== X.org ==
If you use {{Ic|startx}} to start your X session, simply install the {{Pkg|numlockx}} package and add it to your {{ic|~/.xinitrc}} file.
Install {{Pkg|numlockx}}:
# pacman -S numlockx
Add it to {{ic|~/.xinitrc}} before {{Ic|exec}}:
#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
#
numlockx &
exec your_window_manager
=== KDM ===
If you use KDM as a login manager, make sure you have <tt>numlockx</tt> installed and add :
numlockx on
to your {{ic|/usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup}}, or to {{ic|/opt/kde/share/config/kdm/Xsetup}} if you're using KDM3.
Note that this file lives outside of Pacman's protected area, so it might be overwritten on update without warning or creating a {{ic|.pacnew}} file. If it bothers you, add the following line to your {{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====
You may alternatively add a script to your {{ic|~/.kde4/Autostart}} directory:
$ nano ~/.kde4/Autostart/numlockx
Add the following:
#!/bin/sh
numlockx on
And make it executable:
$ chmod +x ~/.kde4/Autostart/numlockx
===GDM===
First make sure that you have {{Pkg|numlockx}} (from extra) installed. Then, GDM users may add the following code to {{ic|/etc/gdm/Init/Default}}:
if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then
/usr/bin/numlockx on
fi
===SLiM===
In the file {{ic|/etc/slim.conf}} find the line:
#numlock on
and remove the {{Ic|#}}
