It’s really annoying when NumLock isn’t turned on. Of course, by default it is disabled on startup. Here’s how to fix that:
Install numlockx by this command in terminal(Applications/Accessories/Terminal):
sudo apt-get install numlockx
edit /etc/gdm/Init/Default with your favourite editor:
sudo gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default
add following above the last line which says exit 0:
if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then
/usr/bin/numlockx on
fi
