Yesterday I let an update (wayfire?) run on my Raspi5 running Bookworm. It changed the screen resolution and set a wrong keyboard, which is easily fixed. But it also removed the automatic setting of Numlock to On by boot. Way back I did a lot of testing of different solutions before finding something that worked. It has been a long time since I fixed that NumLock problem, and do not remember how. The newest solution I found yesterday is putting the line "kb_numlock_default_state = true" at the end of wayfire.ini. I checked wayfire.ini, and that line is already in exactly has it should be.

 May be perplexity.ai becomes your friend, i. e.

Sry, it is in German language, but CLI input should be understandable...

Thank you for the suggestion. None of the three methods Perplexity showed worked. It's a small problem. The keyboard I use for the raspi is a Logitech K 360 without LED's to show the state of Numlock, CapsLock...
I tried some time ago to make Perplexity write some code for a camera. It looked alright, but did not work because it used a deprecated library. Maybe the same is the case with the suggestions for setting NumLock, that the system has been updated since Perplexity got its info.
I have sometimes been hunting for ways to accomplish other simple things on a raspberry, things that are very easy fixed in Windows. But it can take many tries before you find a solution that actually works for a pi.
Best regards
