Comment 40 for bug 218202

Winux,

I couldn't see all the script in your screen print. This worked for me yesterday in a fresh Karmic install:

1. Enable universe and multiverse repositories;
2. sudo apt-get install numlockx;
3. In System > Administration > Startup Applications, add numlockx;
4. sudo gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default;
5. look for the line that says, “exit 0” and above this line add these extra lines:

if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then

/usr/bin/numlockx on

fi

save the file and close gedit. Next time you reboot, numlock then you should be on by default

NOTE: I'm no expert--try at your own risk.
