What Do I Do If the Numeric Keypad Does Not Work During Remote Login?

Symptom

When I enter numbers using the numeric keypad for remote login, the numbers are not displayed properly.

Solution

Run the Linux setleds command to turn on the numeric keypad.

  1. On the remote login page, run the following command to query the status of the numeric keypad:

    setleds -F

    NumLock is off, indicating that the numeric keypad is turned off.

  2. Run the following command to turn on the numeric keypad:

    setleds +num

  3. Run the setleds -F command again. If NumLock changes to on, the issue is fixed.
