GDM is turning off numlock key.
I have tried following:
a) installing numlockx and inserting following lines at /etc/gdm/Init/Default
if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then
/usr/bin/numlockx on
fi
b) Using setleds +num, but it corrupts the numlock state.
When I reboot the system or gdm.service
Numlock becomes on at boot
Numlock turns off at login screen[GDM]
Numlock again turns on after login. [ KDE / GNOME ]
How can I ensure numlock is always on at login (gdm).
rhel gnome3 gdm gdm3 numlock

No, none of them worked. I have already tried them. Numlock was turned on before the login screen but during the login screen is displayed it turns off.

@user746184 - try setting it via gsettings as the gdm user - as I explained here. Usegsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.keyboard numlock-state oninstead of the command I used there...

following the tip by @don_crissti i successfully enabled numlock on gdm login screen like this:
sudo su #become root
su gdm -s /bin/sh #become gdm user with a shell
#do the work i don't 100% understand
export $(dbus-launcher)
GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.keyboard numlock-state on
exit #drop back to root user
systemctl restart gdm #restart gdm
