The 3.0 Release Announcement proudly notes, "Numlock - Is enabled at the Login screen." Evidently, some code has been added somewhere to do this. The usual keyboard settings have no influence on this ...

The Release Notes link on the first Install page brings up the Linux Lite Help Manual. It might be interesting to see the Release Notes. I couldn't find anything by that name. Perhaps you call them "...

I had the same problem on an Asus eeePC X101CH. There was no sound from the speaker, even with volume at 100%. A partial solution is to change the channel being controlled to Headphone. In the panel...
