[Post-Install] Numlock not ON on Login Screen

[Striderden]

Hello folks,
So, it seems to be a classic, I had this same issue back when I installed kubuntu 24, but the same solutions doesn't seem to work.
After updating to 26.04, as before, I would like to have the Numlock option ON when right from the Login Screen.

System settings > Keyboard > Numlock on startup is ON

"/etc/sddm.conf" does exist, with:
[General]
Numlock=on
written on it

"/etc/sddm.conf.d/" also exists, with the following files inside it (I use X11 session):
10-wayland.conf
20-kubuntu.conf
kde_settings.conf
kubuntu_settings.conf
And for test, I tried to add the Numlock=on option inside them all, none worked.

I also tried it via "numlockx on" command, and no positive result as well.

Is there something I'm missing here?

Many thanks!

try to create a dedicated override file:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/sddm.conf.d

sudo nano /etc/sddm.conf.d/90-numlock.conf​

put only this inside file
[General]
Numlock=on
save and exit ( ctrl+O - enter - crtl+X)
reboot ,not just log out/in

if that works , it is important to undo the Numlock=on lines you added into the other SDDM config files, unless they are specifically under a [General] section.
