Post: Re: Updates
I've tried typing Lite in. There is NO update on this install. Period. I have no idea why the installation type would arbitrarily remove the Update. Doesn't seem like a natural thing to have occurred.... |

There is no "Install Updates" anywhere on my Menu. Nothing. Yes, I'm fully aware of how to use Synaptic. I was considering using Lite 4.x to install on a few PCs that belong to friends and family. I c... |

I'm referring to the 10 key that is standard on a Lenovo G50-45 laptop. This 10 key has worked on every version of Linux I've ever installed on here. I have never had any trouble with the keyboard in ... |

Thread: Keyboard 10 key not working
Post: Re: Keyboard 10 key not working
The 10 key has always worked on every other Linux install. This is the first time it hasn't worked.
I'm sure I have the correct keyboard selected for this laptop and install.

Thread: Keyboard 10 key not working
Post: Keyboard 10 key not working
I just found that the 10 key on my keyboard isn't working after I installed Lite 4.8. I've rebooted, then shut down and restarted, but to no avail. Anybody have any thoughts?
