How to turn on Num Lock in terminal

Hello,

I would like to have the Num Lock turn on during the boot process (when the password for decryption of partitions is required). I’ve tried to set it in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard ( KBD_NUMLOCK=“yes”), but it didn’t help. Do you how to fix ti?

Huh.

It is either in bios, or set by grub, or set by the bootsplasher code, I
forgot the name noow.

It was set to by bios, but it didn’t work.

The NumLock status during boot:

  1. Bios set it to ON,
  2. Linux boot (grub) set it to OFF
  3. Start X, NumLock again ON

I would like to have it in state ON all the time.

The only place I know is

/etc/sysconfig/keyboard:KBD_NUMLOCK=“yes”

but, I’m afraid it will not affect grub nor plymouth.
