Home/End/PgDn/PgUp keys not working LUBUNTU 1804 on Inspiron

[Steve Ahn]

I posted this last night and got a response suggesting that I report a "bug" which is what Im doing here (I think):

I just installed LUBUNTU 18.04 LTS x86_64 on a brand new Dell Inspiron 11-3162 but the "Home | End | PgUp | PgDn" functionality does not work. I'm a first time user of any Linux Ubuntu after having ditched Windows 10 and saying goodbye to Windows forever (I hope). I'm learning about Linux as fast as I can but cannot figure this out and would be infinitely grateful for help or even the solution.

On to the problem:

On this particular keyboard you have to hit Fn+LeftArrow for Home, or Fn+RightArrow for End, Fn+UpArrow for PgUp and Fn+DownArrow for PgDn. The crazy part is the first time I use one of these functions it works. But if I try and go "home" or "end" a second time, nothing happens. I have to reboot to be able to do it again for the first time, and then nothing the second time.

Strangely, I do not have this problem in the FIle manager PCManFM (ie the Fn + arrow keys all work to get me home, end, PgUp or PgDn.)

Also, the Function key does work with other features ... for example the Fn+F2 and F3 de/increase the volume; Fn+F12 brightens the screen ; Fn+F1 mutes the sound.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

I was told to specify the "package" but I don't know what one is even after reading "What is a package?" at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware#What_is_a_package.3F.

If it helps, this problem is on my LUBUNTU 18.04 (in case 18.04 is the package)

I got an automated email to specify the "package" but I still don't know what a "package" is. Sorry, but after a day and half of googling around, the closest thing I can come up with was to choose above "lubuntu default settings". I hope this is correct. I looked up my system info; though the word "package" doesn't appear in the ENTIRE thing, it states under ""operating system":

kernel linux 4.15..0-20-generic (x86_64)
#21-Ubuntu SMP Tue apr 24 06:16 :15 UTC 2018
GNU C library / Ubuntu GLIBC 2.27-3ubuntu1 2.27
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

I hope the "package" is in there somewhere.

I also know that the version I have installed is called Bionic Beaver!
