Summary

Hello,

In KDE Plasma's System Settings, in the Keyboard section, there is an option to automatically enable NumLock when opening a desktop session.

For some reason, this doesn't work on Solus. No matter what is selected, NumLock will stay off and you need to enable it manually.

I tried both the X11 and the Wayland sessions and it fails in both.

This isn't an upstream KDE bug because it works on every other distribution I have tried with the same Plasma release (6.2.5).

Steps to reproduce

1. On a Solus Plasma install, open System Settings -> Keyboard -> NumLock on startup -> select "Turn on".
2. Log out and back in.

Expected result

NumLock should be enabled.

Actual result

NumLock is disabled.
