1 Hi. I want to turn numlock automatically, but I am using systemd and I
2 am having troubles doing this. At someones suggestion in a previous
3 message (I think Canek's) I created
4 /etc/systemd/system/getty@service.d/numlock.conf with the following
5 contents
6
7 [Service]
8 ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/setleds -D -num </dev/%I
9
10
11 However, setleds dies with the following error:
12 Jun 19 14:24:55 ccs.covici.com setleds[4878]: KDGKBLED: Inappropriate
13 ioctl for device
14 Jun 19 14:24:55 ccs.covici.com setleds[4878]: Error reading current
15 flags setting. Maybe you are not on the console?
16
17 I tried to fool with chvt to make the console current, but no joy there.
18
19 Any assistance would be appreciated.
