How to turn numlock on by default on startup on ubuntu 10.04 using LXDE?

Have you tried editing /etc/xdg/lubuntu/lxdm/lxdm.conf instead?

Uncomment # numlock=0 and make it numlock=1

Worked for me :)

More Info:

You need to have "admin" permission (a.k.a. root, or sudo) to make the change, so use...

Works for Lubuntu 16.04:

Go to your "Start button" > System Tools > LXTerminal

In terminal, type: sudo pcmanfm

After entering your password a new folder window will open, it gives you admin/root permission. Click "Up" arrow twice to find /etc folder.

Then navigate to /etc/xdg/lubuntu/lxdm/lxdm.conf

Right-click on lxdm.conf and choose Leafpad to edit and make changes.

To make changes, replace # numlock=0 with numlock=1

Now click Save, and close Leafpad. Done.

You no longer have admin/root permission after window is closed. To "Uncomment" simply means removing # symbol, which will "activate" the command.

bootup numlock for Lubuntu 14.04.1 steps:

Use e.g. this command in a terminal:

sudo gedit /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-greeter-wrapper.conf

add this line:

greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on

This works for me:

sudo su -
apt-get install numlockx
echo "/usr/bin/numlockx on" >> /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart

Best regards!
