Hello, everypone!
On most distributions, incl. Fedora Silverblue, NumPad is not working. Pressing NumLock does not help.
Where is the problem? How can we solve it?
THANK YOU in advance.
Kind regards,
Rastislav
Are you saying the even when you hit Numlock to enable it, your number pad keys still do not work?
What keyboard layout are you using and what desktop environment?
YES, exactly.
I’m using GNOME.
Layouts: SK, EN (US), CS, DE, BG.
If its not working then what happens when you click the button when NumLock is not activated? Those buttons have arrow keys so try pressing the buttons on a wall of text to see their behavior.
If this happens across distributions, I wonder if it is a problem with kernel drivers for the hardware.
What laptop model (or keyboard model if it’s a desktop with a separate keyboard) are you using?
I forgot about this!
What do you get from the keyboard driver when you run sudo libinput debug-events and hit a numpad key with both numlock on and off?
Arrows and Enter work, math operators don’t.
That same came to my mind.
The laptop is Lenovo ThinkPad E550.
Please try this, pressing Fn + Esc to toggle the legacy function key mode, then see if numlock works.
the NumLock key is likely inactive because the Fn key is locked in multimedia mode or the system is not saving the state between boots.
Also is it installed ?
rpm -qa numlockx
Thx, but neither helps. 
But 7 / 8 / 9 and the other numpad keys do not?
We’ve been talking drivers, but maybe this could be a hardware issue and pressing those keys just doesn’t send a signal.
Maybe, but 1-6 do not type, just return signal to the driver test.
One more to try Please show that reurn:
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard numlock-state
If false hits then try:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard numlock-state true

Photographs cannot be indexed, searched, quoted, edited, copied/pasted, screen readers can not read them and all of that means someone else with this same issue will struggle to find the solution in the future.
In ChromeOS Flex the following signs work:

This same behavior exhibited the Fedora Silverblue 43.
