New to Linux; several problems - betwixt - 02-01-2018
Hello,
I am brand new to linux and have very little knowledge of computers. I'm on an old msi Wind Notebook that was running Windows 7. i apologize if i'm missing a bunch of necessary info outlined in the guide to posting, but it's all i can do to type this at the moment, so please just ask me and i'll tell you whatever else!
I think I posted for help with installing updates the other day, but now I can't find that post (although i can see in in my general pr6file that i do have a post). So to reiterate and to describe some other problems as well, first, I successfully installed linux lite, but when i click on the first recommended step, to install updates, i get an error log (which i copied into the previous post which i now can't find, so i won't paste it here, but i can regenerate if need be. Second, I have to use the function key to type what's inside the brackets [uiojklm;], as well as some capital letters and other punctuation. Can someone please explain how to change that?
I'll leave it there for now--many thanks for considering! I've wanted t6 switch to linux for a long time, but need some major support getting started!

Finally figured out how to my first post. Please see the error log from the updates installation there.

If you click/hover your mouse on profile and select "summary" you'll be able to see and read/re-read all the post you have created before. Just as shown bellow

Switch keyboard Numlock off (usually Fn+NumLk keys). Looking at your keyboard I think you will see that the keys you refer to, have digits 0 to 6 on them too.

Thank you! Undid the numlock--that was easy.
