  1. I get an error message at step 2.

    gdm@david-MS-7891:/root$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.keyboard numlock-state ‘on’

    (process:8962): dconf-WARNING **: 10:22:28.071: Unable to open /root/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/dconf/profile/user: Permission denied
    gdm@david-MS-7891:/root$

    Any suggestions please?

    sudo gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.keyboard numlock-state ‘on’

    That’s all!

    • Using xubuntu 18.04 and was just updated. But this problem has existed with EVERY Linux install on EVERY computer I’ve used in 20 years. The ONE AND ONLY thing that drives me bats$%t crazy about linux. Windows reads the bios or eufi or whatever which says to turn on at login. ALL linux distros and desktop managers ignore this! The above doesnt work!

      • Sorry man. XUbuntu 18.04 uses a different display manager, you may search on web with ‘xubuntu’ or ‘xfce’ as keyword.

    Thank You very Much

  5. May I know how to reverse the settings back? I think it makes the solution complete. Thanks
