How to I make numlock be on by default when I start my computer?
If you want numlock to be on whenever you start X (the graphical mode of Fedora): • Open a Terminal. • Become root: su – • Install the “numlockx” program: yum install numlockx Now numlock will be on every time you start X. If you want numlock on by default you’re in text mode: • Open a Terminal. • Become root: su – • Install the “kbd” package: yum install kbd • Edit the /etc/rc.local file: nano /etc/rc.local • Find the line that looks like: touch /var/lock/subsys/local Right below that line, put these lines: LEDTTY=/dev/tty[1-8] for tty in $LEDTTY; do setleds -D +num < $tty done • Save the file, and the next time you restart your computer, numlock will be on in text mode!
