Hi kwjaxon,

Install numlockx:

sudo apt-get install numlockx

Backup your default gdm file:

sudo cp /etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default /etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default_backup

Edit default gdm file:

sudo gedit /etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default

Find this line

...
exit 0

Add the following lines above it

if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then
 /usr/bin/numlockx on
fi

Restart your X

Ctrl + Alt + Backspace

Best Regards

This setting is valid for ubuntu releases up to Feisty. In Gutsy, this is solved and useless.
