Hi, Our local school has a 100 % CentOS network on servers and desktops. Until recently, we were using a highly customized Xfce desktop environment. Last week I decided to migrate all desktops from Xfce to GNOME, which went quite well. Now I have to sand down some rough edges. The secretary complained that she can't use the numeric keypad as before. She's using LibreOffice Calc a lot, and she has to type in a lot of numbers with commas. With Xfce this was not a problem. Under GNOME, this won't work anymore. As far as I can tell, this has to do with the locale-specific syntax of 0.00 vs 0,00. Our systems are all localized in french. Any idea how this can be solved? Cheers, Niki ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Niki, Thank you for your post. I have just created a hypervisor with kvm and centos 7.5, and posted the same keypad problem I thought was related to kvm, but when I checked on my host centos 7.5 machine as opposed to the guest machines, the keypad did not work on it either. Looks like there is a problem with the latest version of gnome3 in Centos 7.5.

However, when I used kde as the desktop on the host machine the numeric keypad worked perfectly not only on the host machine, but also on the guest machine even when the guest machine was using gnome3 as the the desktop. It looks to me like there is a problem with gnome3 when it is used on a host machine; the numberic keypad is disabled. I will be watching this thread with the hopes that someone will have an answer, but for now at least I can use kde on the host, and gnome3 on the guest and have my numeric keypad work. Greg Ennis
