Hi,
how to enable the numlock on login screen for Garuda lxqt edition.?

### NumLock on by default

Install the [numlockx](https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=numlockx) package and then edit `/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf`:

/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

[Seat:*] greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on

Source : LightDM - ArchWiki

Numlockx was installed on the OS already. i saw it in Add/remove software.

i opened the folder /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf on file system
i opened lightdm.conf text file and inserted "greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on " under the heading of [Seat:*]..i saved the text file .. restarted the computer..

numlock was not there.

did i do it wrong way?

I can't help you at the moment because Gitlab is down and I can't see lightdm.conf

So, comming back on the topic,

This means all lines starting with [Seat:

I mean you don’t have to add it, it should be there, for example [Seat:Default]

You have to go to it and add

Also keep in mind that you should also search on search engines like Duckduckgo or Whoogle to save time. It is a common request on many LXQT Forums, so you can easily get it.

Yep, I use lxqt. Lxqt uses sddm as display manager so lightdm don't matter here. :innocent:

To enable NumLock set Numlock to false in /etc/sddm.conf like this:

[General]
Numlock=false

Tried with Numlock=false and Numlock=on seperately..the keyboard layout also changed to English(us) default. But it did not work. :grin:

It works for me :thinking:

make sure NumLock=on is not commented and under the [General] section.

here is my sddm.conf…Please rely with corrected one…I will copy, paste it . Thanks

[Autologin]
Relogin=false
Session=
User=

[General]
Numlock=false
Session=
HaltCommand=/usr/bin/systemctl poweroff
RebootCommand=/usr/bin/systemctl reboot
