http://askubuntu.com – I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 on Desktop but Ubuntu originally was installed on laptop. Numeric keypad on my keyboard was set as mouse moving and mouse button. No matter how I toggle Num lock and change the QWERTY to AZERTY and change back, I can't use numeric keypad probably. (HowTos)

Hi all,

My laptop has a number keypad along side the alpha numeric keys. I started up my laptop this morning and the numeric keypad isn't working. I've confirmed Num Lock is on and tried a good old fashioned reboot but it's still the same. Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks.

Hi,

I've installed Karmic on a HP G61 notebook. It has a numeric keypad type keyboard.

The keypad part works when you switch off "Pointer can be controlled using the keypad" in System ? Preferences > Keyboard (Mouse Keys tab) + switch ON numlock.

The keyboard layout for the QWERTY part of the keyboard is not 100% correct.

Boot problem! It is stuck on Windows as the default. Arrow key will not let me select. Tried arrow keypad as well as arrow keys on the numeric keypad. Help!

I know how to turn off the annoying water drip sound on the phone keypad but I would like to have the dtmf standard keypad tones when i press the keys.

Does anybody know how to do this?

I have a new/clean install of 11.2. I then followed this with the instructions at Nomad - openSUSE and all seemed to be better (see multiple postings from me on this subject). But ...

This time, I have keyboard problems.

I dont know if anyone else is having this problem, but if I open up urxvt and  THEN start an app like ranger or mplayer within that terminal, my keypad keys work just fine for instance the pgup/pgdown, so forth. But if i open one of these apps from any of my keybindings, as in urxvt -e ranger these keys will not work. How do i make these keys work all the time?

Support phone keypad problem 21 weeks 1 day ago

Hi,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 on VZW. Often when I make a call that requires keypad presses (e.g. for menu selection), I touch the keypad icon, but the keypad goes blank when my finger approaches it, then reappears (after a couple of seconds) when I pull my finger away. I have to hang up and start the call again, hoping that the problem will not reoccur, which it does about half the time.

Numlock wierdness 2 years 47 weeks ago

My numeric keypad is always in "Numbers off" mode even though the Num Lock light is lit up. I am using 11.3 and have a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic keyboard 4000.

Any clues as to how to fix it?

[edit]It doesn't appear to be doing anything[/edit]

I searched and I'm not understanding what I need to do, so please explain or point me to a good link. My ChaCha is s-off(xtc-clip), unlocked bootloader, CWM and flashed in Hexgores stock plus ROM. My keypad, mainly the symbols when using the alt. key, are not functioning. I know I can manually remap the keys, but I'm not understanding how.
