Kubuntu doesnt recognize the keyboard

[ksso]

Hello, I have an Inspiron 15, and the keyboard isn’t being recognized. The volume, brightness, home, and end keys are being used as function keys (F1, F2, etc.). What do I need to do to get it to recognize the keyboard?

by the way, the language layout is ok

On my XPS13 I can select in the UEFI settings how the function key row comes up on boot and have them either act as Fx or Media keys, given yours is a dell as well, perhaps yours has a similar option in the UEFI/BIOS settings ?

I’m not a site admin/moderator, but have a look at the discussion below:

Cannot post

I cannot find where one is supposed to start a message. What I want to do is to post one on the help category to do with a mouse that freezes my machine. I just spent a coujple of hours reading stuff and trying to figure it out. As far as I can tell all things that say that new posts go here or there are either not there or don’t work. Thoughts?
