Numlock aftre rebot

Hi,
Download numlockx from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/a...x/1.1-10build1

Install numlockx:
2. sudo dpkg –I numlockx_1.1-10build1_armel.deb

Edit startup script to run numlockx and enable numlock at startup
3. To open script: sudo vi /etc/gdm/Init/Default
4. Add following commands to run numlockx at startup. These lines need to be added, at the very bottom above exit 0.
if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then
/usr/bin/numlockx on
fi
5. So, the last four lines look like
if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then
/usr/bin/numlockx on
fi
exit 0

NUMLOCK will now be on at boot.

I've been looking everywhere on Google, and I can't seem to find a manual for this specific T50boot anywhere

I would suggest checking out the manuals for the T50. 

Are you using only 1 device? Using the INI files for the T series is the optimal way to manage the thin clients.

Unless I'm missing something daft, the manuals don't show how to boot with numlock enabled - mind you there are a fair few things missing from the manuals to be honest!

Has anyone found a way to enable the numlock without downloading 3rd party potentially dodgy software?

Hi guys, been going through this again, and this is the best interim solution, takes a bit of getting used to text editing using Vi, I suggest a Vi cheatsheet like this: http://www.fprintf.net/vimCheatSheet.html

Also, notice that after 'sudo dpkg' it should read -i not -I. Linux is very case-sensitive, and putting -I simply gives you information about the package rather than -i which installs.
