Num Lock function has changed after upgrading to UBUNTU 13.10

Question

I faced a strange function I installed ubuntu 13.10 and all the time the number pad on the right of my keyboard is typing number without pressing Num Lock and when I turn it on It does the job when Num Lock is normally off .

does anyone have this problem ? and any idea how to fix it ?

by default Num lock led is off but keypad is typing numbers but when I turn it on it does the other function — Mohammad_Hosseini, Oct 20 '13 at 16:58
if you want, we can turn it on with led at boot , sync led and keys. — , Oct 20 '13 at 17:00
This isn't a duplicate, it's for 13.10 (instead of 12.04) and the answers are different (/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf instead of /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf for example) — Andrew M, Mar 03 '14 at 09:18

Install this application :

sudo apt-get install numlockx

Edit this file :

sudo vi /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf

Add Line at the end of file :

greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on

Thank you! I actually had the opposite issue and modified the command to turn off my numlock, since it was always getting in the way :)! (simply used off instead of on :)) – Anton Petrov Nov 02 '13 at 14:41
