(SOLVED) Set numlock on when Zorin 9 Lite boot up

I followed Wolfman's instruction to install the numlockx. Then type in : echo "/usr/bin/numlockx on" >> /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart and hit Enter. It said that permission denied. What can I do ?

Thanks in advance.

Did you run the 'sudo' command? You may need greater privileges - open a terminal, (Ctrl+ Alt+ T) and enter:

Code:

gksudo nautilus

- but open a new terminal window to make any sudo commands - not the same one that escalated your privileges!

Hi,

are you logging in as "Guest"?, if you are, you cannot do anything administrative!. That command in the Zorin Lite guide works no problem when you are logged in as the main user of the PC!.

I am the only user for this computer. So I set it up with no need to type the password to boot up this computer. Is it mean that I log in as the guest ?
But when I installed the numlockx I did need to type in the administrator's password. In the same Terminal I type in the second command then it said that permission denied. It didn't ask me for the password on the second command.

Suddenly, I noticed the numlock light was on. I remembered that I didn't hit the numlock button. So I reboot the computer and the numlock light was on automatically after the boot up even it said that permission denied. I don't know why.

Anyway, this problem was solved even if there still a question no answer.

Thanks for your help.

All's well that ends well!. Have marked as solved!.
