Description of problem: numlock-state stays set to "on" which causes the login dialogue to erroneously warn "You have the Num Lock key on" when returning from power-saving mode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 16 How reproducible: Enable "Lock screen" Steps to Reproduce: 1. Lock the screen 2. Move the pointer or press a key 3. Press numlock key, warning is displayed in password dialogue 4. Press numlock key again, warning is not removed Actual results: Warning is always present after enabling numlock at least once Expected results: warning should only be present when numlock is active Additional info:
I have this too. About two weeks ago I accidently enabled NumLock while fumbling in the dark to enable the keyboard light. Of course I immediately turned NumLock off at the time, but the message persists, apparently without any side effects. I have tried several measures to clear the message: * Press Fn-ScrLk (NmLk on laptop) multiple times. The message never goes away though the numlock indicator alternates on and off. * Press CapsLk repeatedly. It makes the warning message alternate between "You have the Caps & Num Lock keys on" and "You have the Num lock key on". * Shutdown, power down, and restart. * Upgrade from kernel-3.3.7-1.fc16.i686 to kernel-3.3.8-1.fc16.i686 and reboot.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
