ISSUE:
Installed Ubuntu ver ubuntu-18.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso and it runs fine except that the keyboard has foreign characters that are mixed in with regular.
i.e. the @
is now a "
and the "
is now and @
plus many others are different.
This was not the case with Win 8.
My system:
Samsung NP350E7C-A03CA
Windoze Stalkerware 10. (This was a upgrade from 8 to 10.) Installed Ubuntu after a full reformat.
64 Bit - 8 Gig RAM
Fluff:
rebooted and guess what, my password contains special characters. Now when I type password it isn't accepted, not even after I figured out which keys would replace those in password. For example, what character replaces tild (~) or exclamation (!) and @ and % and.... and so on.
My option is to re-install (again) and for pword, pick letters and numbers only, easy to crack. But I will need the normalized keyboard anyway.
Samsung doesn't explain how the keyboard works. FN key isn't for changing the @
to "
or vice versa. Searching only brings out keyboards for sale, ltops for sale - I forgot the Internet was gobbled up by the Catalognet
Ideas?
TIA
