Keyboard NumLock is always off at startup

[jborges]

I'm using Kurumin 4Alpha2 (a Brazilian flavor of Knoppix) with Kde 3.3.0.

I made the necessary changes in Kde to have my keyboard light on at startup. It does. But it only works on graphical mode. At text mode it stays off and I have to remember to turn it on (guess if I remember?).

Is there any way I can have it on at boot time??

you have to enable it in your startup scripts... (i know how to do it in gentoo, but not debian...)

Give the script I'm not an a linux box here
Personally I had that script in my /etc/bashrc and it works

Tell us how you do it in your distro. We may be interested to learn it.

Please don't forget. When you have the opportunity, give us a hint about the script you have in your machine. It may be good for my distro too.

rc-update add numlock default

that adds the 'numlock' script to the default runlevel in Gentoo.

To get your numlock on when you startx, install this and add "numlockx" to your ~/.xinitrc:

Yes I will give that to u this we coz I will have my debian box (here I can't do any ssh)
I made a mistake sorry
I think I put this little script in /etc/profile

Place this in in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local to activate Numlock for the first six terminals:

echo "Activating Numlock ..."
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6; do
/usr/bin/setleds +num < /dev/tty$&#123;i&#125; > /dev/null
done

check man setleds

I'll try right now.
