numeric keypad

Hello! Does it work if you enable Numlock? This can be done automatically by installing the package numlockx.

obscurité has first tried to get some help on the French-speaking forum: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/paver-numerique-d%C3%A9faillant-pour-login-session

He is actually talking about the numeric keypad of a virtual keyboard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_keyboard

Hm... I did some testing with Onboard (not in the login screen, I don't know how to get the on-screen keyboard to pop up there), and I found that I was able to type numbers with the numpad, but only if before that I pressed the Num Lock key each time, or alternatively pressed the num lock key twice in a row. Otherwise, it treated them like their corresponding non-number equivalents (e.g. left arrow for 4 and right arrow for 6). Could that be the problem?

I have numlockx package already installed and password is not recognized.

I do not know if it is your case but I once had the accessibility
settings configure the numeric pad as mouse replacement. All I had to do
is disable that feature. i think it is in the mouse or keyboard settings
or somewhere regarding accessibility. Not sure if this applies to
on-screen keyboard though.
