It's more comfortable to enter password at login screen using num keys. But I have to enable numlock each time I boot my laptop. So I googled.
I installed numlockx and tried some ways:

1.

sudo sed -i 's|^exit 0.*$|# Numlock enable\n[ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ] \&\& numlockx on\n\nexit 0|' /etc/rc.local

Copy the Code

2. UPD: THIS WAY WORKS

Edit the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
1. gksudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Copy the Code
Edit:
1. [Seat:*]
2. greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on
Copy the Code

3. install the numlockx package and add it to the /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

None of listed above works.
How can I make it work?
Also, I would like to make that num keys work always work as digits and there will be no opportunity to off it accidentially pressing numlock.(if you know how to make it - please write)

If you search this page, there is something very fuzzy mentioned about numlockx: http://dwaves.de/2015/03/12/linu ... -on-giada-f-300-i5/
I have no cleu what the writer meants here but maybe you can figure this out.

Maybe this will help you:

Yes, you are right. Thank you!
I did the same steps as yesterday and it started to work.
Magic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
