Details:

In RHEL 8.3 linux, Aspire E 15 (E5-521-25P9), AMD laptop. Octave 6.2.0 in
/opt/octave-6.2.0:

Those eleven number pad keys work neither as digits nor as arrows and are
completely blocked in Octave. NumLock works but its light goes on and off with
no effect.  In other programs number pad keys work.

I have tried to look into ~/.octaverc, but it contains two paths that don't
exist in my directory tree:


  1 addpath('/opt/zmat-master/octave/linux64/private');                       
                                                                       
  2 addpath('/opt/jssonlab-master');

petr@localhost:/opt/octave-6.2.0$ ls -lah /opt
drwxr-xr-x.  5 root root   73 Apr 19 22:10 .

neither paths suggested by "man octave" exist.
