[Bug 843804] Re: Numlock gets deactivated when grub2 loads

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 2.02~beta2-7

---------------
grub2 (2.02~beta2-7) experimental; urgency=medium


  * Fix shift-held-down test not to clear other modifier key states
    (LP: #843804).
  * Explicitly pass an appropriate --target to grub-install in the postinst
    (suggested by Jordan Uggla).
  * Backport from upstream:
    - Use bootaa64.efi instead of bootaarch64.efi on arm64 to comply with
      EFI specification.  Also use grubaa64.efi for consistency.

Title:
  Numlock gets deactivated when grub2 loads

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I have a desktop machine, and i prefer to have numlock activated at
  all times, so i set that behavior in the UEFI of my Asus board.

  The numlock then activates correctly at start time, but is only active
  until grub2 loads, at which point it deactivates and stays off until i
  reactivate it manually. This is very annoying and should not happen.
  The setting should not be messed with, when there is no way to control
  the behavior from inside the system.
