Characters appears when typing numbers in tty consoles
Hello,
I tried to login in a tty console, my keyboard layout was ok, my numpad was activated.
My password contains numbers, I tried to enter the pass first in the login field to see if all was ok, but when I typed a number, I got some characters like ^[[ instead of the number
Successfully logged in with the numbers in top of the keyboard though, after that when trying to type numbers from numpad, it just does nothing
Found nothing similar on google.
Thanks for help

Re: Characters appears when typing numbers in tty consoles
The nulock indicator is not necessarily correct when switching between X11 and a linux console.
It will correct itself if you press numlock a couple of times or use "setleds" ("kbd" package) to query/set the actual state (doesn't work on X11!)
