I tried to set options in keyboard layout. I enabled "default numeric keys" but no success. I want it to be enabled only after login. I see the options in keyboard layout are slightly altered in 12.10.

How do I do it in 12.10?

I had done the same and restarted the pc.I guess I had selected some other option too,which may have disabled auto num lock.I have a usb wireless keyboard.Perhaps this is the reason sometimes things do not work at first attempt.This time it worked,thank you. – gagmani Nov 9 '12 at 6:20
