Solution via command line:

To use the dot instead of the comma on the numeric keypad, open the terminal and run the following command:

echo 'xmodmap -e "keycode 129 = period"' >> ~/.bashrc

This command will fix this change even after restarting the computer

In this case this change will only be for the current user who uses the command

Solution Editing boot files:

To make the change manually by editing the files, look for the file .bashrc or bash.bashrc

First identify which boot file you intend to edit:

system boot file: /etc/bash.bashrc
personal boot file: /home/seuNome/.bashrc or ~/.bashrc

Choose one of these 2 files and add in the last line:

xmodmap -e "keycode 129 = period"
