Apple themselves recognize that Numlock must be supported on non-apple OSes:

In short, yes, Clear button is supposed to work as a Numlock, only not in MacOS.

I've seen many discussions on this topic already, I think whatever hardware is used, Ubuntu must support what Ubuntu users want. If this particular keyboard is plugged into a Mac it's a Mac keyboard, when it's used with Windows it's a Windows keyboard, and when used with Ubuntu? I guess it should be Ubuntu keyboard!

I'm an Ubuntu user and I want Numlock. I don't care whether it is supposed to be used as such or not. I don't care about what is printed on the buttons (there are keyboards without any text at all, so what?). I want the functionality that I'm used to.
