By default, the numpad is not activated when you arrive to login window. To activate it, you need to install a package. The example below is shown with Linux Mint Cinnamon.


  • Open a Terminal;
  • Type sudo apt install numlockx to install the package;
  • Once installed, just confirm in the Terminal with: sudo numlockx on;
  • (Linux Mint) - Open the Login Window manager with: sudo lightdm-settings;
  • In Settings tab, verify that Activate numlock is checked.
