What is the Dell Repository for Ubuntu 14.04
Hi,
I recently purchased Dell Inspirion 15 5555 Laptop with pre installed Ubuntu 14.04. However it came with single partition for Home and root which is not a recommended practice. So I reinstalled Ubuntu 14.04. However I forgot to note the Repository URL for Dell. Now my problem is since Dell Laptop's driver is not installed the "Fn" key does not work. The Downloads section on Dell only shows Windows Driver. Customer care is pathetic and they just slam me as if I have done a SIN by purchasing Ubuntu Laptop.
Doe anyone know where can I get Ubuntu Drivers for Dell Laptop Keyboard?

This probably isn't helpful to you now, but in the future, I'd recommend using a bootable Gparted USB stick to manage partitions rather than completely reinstalling.

I had to reinstall since it does not come with full disk encryption.
