Bug Description

I have a numeric password and every time when I log in I accidentally log in to Guest because I press arrow down and enter on numeric keyboard.

Why the hell Ubuntu 16.04 is not able to set numlock for login screen ???

And is there a need for obscure ways like numlockx:

sudo apt-get -y install numlockx
sudo sh -c "echo 'greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on' >> /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf"

The numlock is turned off and then turned on with 'numlockx on' so it is visible how it blinks. Why the hell it is so complicated to just turn the numlock on ???

2016 Operating System and still basic things are not solved ! What a mess!
