  • Turn NumLock on at boot

    Hi

    Yesterday I let an update (wayfire?) run on my Raspi5 running Bookworm.
    It changed the screen resolution and set a wrong keyboard, which is
    easily fixed. But it also removed the automatic setting of Numlock to On
    by boot. Way back I did a lot of testing of different solutions before
    finding something that worked. It has been a long time since I fixed
    that NumLock problem, and do not remember how. The newest solution I
    found yesterday is putting the line "kb_numlock_default_state = true" at
    the end of wayfire.ini. I checked wayfire.ini, and that line is already
    in exactly has it should be.

    In hope that some of the bright guys out there got the same problem and
    fixed it: Please, please tell me how :-)

    Best regards

    May be perplexity.ai becomes your friend, i. e. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/raspberry-pi-5tastatur-ziffern-RGqs94uxR967lj4YMrnyJg
    Sry, it is in German language, but CLI input should be understandable...

    Thank you for the suggestion. None of the three methods Perplexity
    showed worked. It's a small problem. The keyboard I use for the raspi is
    a Logitech K 360 without LED's to show the state of Numlock, CapsLock...

    I tried some time ago to make Perplexity write some code for a camera.
    It looked alright, but did not work because it used a deprecated
    library. Maybe the same is the case with the suggestions for setting
    NumLock, that the system has been updated since Perplexity got its info.

    I have sometimes been hunting for ways to accomplish other simple things
    on a raspberry, things that are very easy fixed in Windows. But it can
    take many tries before you find a solution that actually works for a pi.

    You can run Windows on a Pi -- “IoT Edition”.

    That looks interesting, something to test. It looks easy to just
    download and set up an image for a raspberrypi. Wonder if it's for free. Probably not.
